Interview the person below you...

[Charlie Boy II]

oh right - a question:

what're you looking forward to at the moment?

[Kiechi]

Going home to familar territory.

What was the scariest moment of your life?

[Gribble]

My family owns a cabin out in the mountains. When I was younger I used to spend quite a bit of time tooling around on ATVs and dirt bikes, leveling out the hills, straightening the curves.

Anyway, I had a friend who lived out there. A country boy. He stayed over at our cabin and the two of us were riding around on the ATV. One would drive while the other sat in back. We'd swap drivers every so often.

We'd been cutting through the mountain all day and it was getting dark. Despite my protests he wanted to go for one more ride. I relented. He gunned it and we went flying down a trail. I use the word trail loosely. We were weaving in and out of trees, splashing through creek-beds, and rumbling over rocky hillocks.

He was obviously trying to scare me by driving like an idiot. I kept my trap shut, though. I should have probably hollered at him and told him to pull over but my pride wouldn't let me. Well, a tree had fallen. Probably cut down by a streak of lightening or maybe knocked over by a strong gust of wind. It was a thin tree, maybe thick around as man's wrist. It was lying on its side with the trunk lifted up at about a thirty degree angle.

We never saw it. He drove right into that fallen tree and it punched through his thigh like the point of a spear. Had it been three inches more to the right he'd have castrated himself.

It left a deep gash in his leg. Blood was everywhere and it was pitch black by then. If you've never been out on the top of a mountain in the ass-end of nowhere at night you don't know what pitch black is. You literally cannot see your hand before your eyes.

Our only source of light came from the ATV's lamp. Which was out because the tree trunk tore the electrical wiring right out of the handlebars. Without that wiring the starter was shot as well. There was no getting the ATV to run. Not without splicing some wires. We had no flashlight, no medical equipment, no nothing.

I tied my shirt around his leg. It was really gay. Me bare-chested, knotting my shirt mere centimeters from his balls. In the end we managed to walk back to the cabin. It was mostly due to luck. We knew the general direction of the cabin and set off for it. Had we been off by ten yards or so we'd have walked right on by and probably spent the night out in the woods, him bleeding, me freezing.

That was a pretty hairy situation. Also, I think that was the longest reply this thread's seen. Sorry for that.

Uhm. What was the happiest moment of your life?

[vashti]

My son sleeping on my belly when he was a newborn... or when he rubbed his face on my arm when he was tired.
Actually, I have lots of sappy baby moments.

Why are you apologising? That was a very interesting read. What happened after? Did your parents freak? are you still in contact with him today?

[Gribble]

We stumbled through the doorway. Our families were in the midst of eating dinner. I remember my mom turned around and fixed us with a glare. She was about to bitch because we'd stayed out so late. And then she noticed the wound. Thankfully my mom's a nurse. Anyway, she dragged him into the bathroom and, along with his mom, cleaned out the wound and wrapped it in gauze. It wasn't too horribly bad once it was properly dressed so we didn't rush him to a hospital or anything. Would have taken hours to get to one. Instead, his mom took him to the doctor the next morning.Funny thing is, the poor kid was crying because he'd wrecked my ATV.

The two of us are friends still. Been friends since we were born. His grandfather's my grandfather's best friend, so we're practically family. Next day we went on a wagon ride with a deranged mule that took off like a maniac when it neared the post it'd been tethered to and neutered at. Good times.

Haha, that was great. Something to tell the grandchildren. Thanks for the read!

[Moonchild]

What moment would you like to "do over"?

Less one moment and more a series of them... I wish I hadn't messed up with that research paper in tenth grade. I was out sick for two weeks, found out that the first planning bit was due some days ago, and the second was due the day I came back, but she wouldn't take the second part without the first. I dealt with this a while, and in the end, she wouldn't accept my paper. I failed, passed summer school with a 98% in the course and the rest of the class wondering why I was there in the first place. Well, other than the other three kids the teacher failed. It was funny, out of everyone in the county who went to summer school for 10th grade English, which was about 15, four of us were failed by the same teacher. Says something, eh? That's why my entire family refers to her as the teacher from the black lagoon.

What was your worst school experience?

[Tiay]

My son sleeping on my belly when he was a newborn... or when he rubbed his face on my arm when he was tired.
Actually, I have lots of sappy baby moments.

awww, cute (:

hm.. worst school experience..

didn't go to school so my answer is kinda lame.. but a lecturer in second year made me cry once.. blegh. I actually miss him in comparison the lecturers in third year.

same question!

[DoesntMatter]

but a lecturer in second year made me cry once

Lol what did he do to make you cry?

My worst high school experience was my 11th grade English teacher, that bitch hated me for reasons I still don't know and she would continually make somewhat subtle comments aimed at mocking me. One thing she did many times was talk about virginity in poems or whatever, and she noticed one day while she was talking about it in a way kind of putting down virgins if you will I turned a little red. After that she made a point to mention it was much as possible.

She also made fun of my clothes or whatever I was wearing in front of the class, but wouldn't mention me or my clothes in specific but anyone could see what I was wearing or whatever. And I dressed normal BTW

I got made fun of a lot in middle school because I didn't have many friends for those years.

So let me answer another question earlier in this thread... If I could change one thing I've done I would go back and beat the ever-loving shit out of all those kids at the time and that ****ing english teacher

Do you call it soda or pop?

[squirrley]

POP!!! Wheres the pop in this damn store? people just look at me like what the hell am I talking about?

If you had one thing you could "do over" in your life what would it be?

[anachronistic]

it eventually goes away. usually when you get involved with someone else. all it takes is time apart.

what is your favorite of the star wars series?

[shithappens]

Episode 1 Becos Death Maul is in it!

where do u live?

[Tiay]

exactly here:



guys- if your girlfriend was worried about being knocked up, would you want to know, or would you only want to know once she had confirmed it?
girls- If you were worried, would you tell him- or would you keep quiet till you knew for sure?

[anachronistic]

i would want to know first hand to comfort her and stuff

tiay you live only a few hundred miles from a good friend of mine (köln)

what did you do last night?
