mad capers

[rachel]

have any of you done something quite out of the ordinary,wild and silly just because and when you look back on it you wonder about yourself?
share with us, one adventure or ten if you like.
I will start with something my best friend and I did, well actually she did it and I worried myself sick over it.
there was this lady that was very jealous of Dena, she is very beautiful. she would always cause trouble for her and one day just like that she 'anonymously phoned to social services to say Dena was a bad mother.she was a DEVOTED mother and suffered much as a single mother for her babies.
Dena had had it with the lady so she devised a plan of 'harmless' revenge.
this lady was very selfish and always trying to get something for nothing. everytime she came to my house she would sigh and point to something and whine about her life until rather than pull my hair out of my head I gave it to her. she liked freebies.
so with this in mind Dena bought both a box of hair perm solution and a box of hair remover for the legs.
I was aghast but there was no deterring my friend. And besides I reasoned who would accept an anonymous gift having come in the mail?
We wore gloves,(no fingerprints,I felt like a nerd), she wore a trench coat and sunglasses when we left to do our dastardly dee.(it was at night, pitch black) we drove to a far away mail box and she put in the 'gift' and we went home. I prayed a lot and worried and then over the course of time forgot about it.
then one day I went to a subway place that sold tons of fresh donuts as well and went up to the counter to have mine and a cup of coffee. I was working for the Post office and was on my break, exhausted. That lady came out of nowhere and she glared at me like she could end my life when she took my order. I couldn't understand why and why she was wearing a scarf on her head. And then it all came back to me. It was with herculean effort I forced a neutral look on my face. I was horrified yet had this insane desire to shriek out loud and run out of the place laughing hysterically. I found out later that she had without question accepted the package thinking it was some promotionally deal. she started perming her hair and by the time she got to the middle of her head the first perming rod, with her hair came sliding off her head.she immediately pulled the others out but lost most of her hair. when it grew in for some odd reason the 'permed' section was now curly on its own and the rest was straight as a bone. so after that she either had to straighten that part or curl the other.
Idon't know why I took part in such a juvenile thing. I felt very sorry but couldn't help a small smile escaping my lips every now and then when I thought about it.
any thoughts? :D :D

Hi rach' great hearing from you... :D :)...
Eek!... that is a bit mean.... but some time people must learn the hard way so.. i guess it ok.... :)...
Hmmmm i have a little story..
When i was 4 me and my good friend decided to "play a circus game" ..
I'm saying that because for some unknown reason.. (we were 4! so i don't remember) we decided to open a window in the 4th floor of our building and crawl our self outside the building to another window!..
Funny to mation is that a person saw us from down the street and when my mother heard about it she laid in bad for 3 whole day.. :eek: ..
Opps.... :goof:
Well it kind of funny isn't it??? :goof:




P.s: I'm sorry mom....

Holy Carp!! I'd be sooo mad if someone messed with my precious locks.....

Let's see mad capers.... I've tin foiled my boss's entire office once. Another boss was out for the day and we decorated his office in christmas decorations - there wasn't a bare spot at all... I don't think those qualify though, I'll think on it.

children really believe they can do anything. my first born son used to run about witha pair of shorts over his long underwear and I had to make him a cape. He truly believed he was Superman. He would climb high into a tree and try to fly from that tree to one quite a few feet away in our back yard. It was terrifying and I told him over and over that although he could play Superman he really wasn't. That made him so angry.
one day when I was doing dishes I chanced to look out the window and there to my horror I saw a little pair of black rubber boots high, high in the birch tree. Then a flash of superman color and away went my little four year old(seems to be a strange age) flying in the air. I screamed, ran to the sliding glass door of the patio and streaked out side as quick as I could. I heard a terrible thud and then silence. My son was crumpled on the grass and he looked dead. I called him and held him trying to determine what damage had been done. He opened his eyes and smiled. "Mommy told you you cannot really fly honey, are you alright?" I asked with tears in my eyes. he looked at me reproachfully and said " that is a lie. I flew farther today than ever before."
somehow those words have stayed with me and I encouraged him, in more safe ways to follow his dreams after that. And I have applied those words to my own life....I have flown farther(in this pursuit) today then ever before.

Humm not much Ive lead a pretty boring life som far hummm .
When I was 5 or six I went to my best friend's house asnd we went on a "walk" trecking through the jungle. We live on a compound in a desert country but there was some trees and gardens anyway so we go trecking and following "trails" of cats and acorns and eventually we come across this beautiful adorable tomato tree. With all these tomatos so we pick them.
And carry them home (Imean just rewards for hard scavanging right?) We got home and were told off servely by the babysitter for stealing, I think the mums eventually joined in , turned out we climbed into someones garden a picked all there hard grown tomatos. I wasnt able to eat fresh tomatos since without being a bit queassy till about last year. I think actually today is the first day I ever picked out a tomato especially for my lunch.
:D

When I was 16 or 17, my best friend lived next to a Concord grape vineyard in rural Michigan. We stole a bag of grapes when the farmer wasn't around and fermented it into wine in my friend's attic. It was the first time either of us had drank alcohol and we got a little crazy one night after finishing the wine.

We wandered over to the House of David, which had formerly been a popular summer resort with a famous baseball team but was then in a state of decline. All that was left was a vegetarian restaurant, a midget race car track and a bakery. We knew the religious people who owned and ran the place and even liked them, but that night I wasn't on my best behavior.

Outside the bakery I found a large switch on an electric pole. When I pulled the switch, everything went pitch black as far as we could see. Pandemonium broke out in the bakery, where loaves of bread collapsed when the electric ovens went off. My friend and I ran to escape, but it was so dark (moonless night) we crashed into trees and tripped over things in the road.

The next morning we felt properly guilty talking to the women at the bakery, but we didn't confess. Guilt was enough without bringing actual punishment into the situation. We didn't consider policemen our friends.

I have done many stupid things but this will do for starters. When I was 18 I went to see my favourite band at the time (the vandals) play at King Tuts Wah Wah Hut (a quite famous venue in Glasgow) I got pretty loaded, and at the end of the night I went skipping along the main street in glasgow, gathering many strange looks from passers by and my friends attempting to act like they didnt know me.

[rachel]

hahaha,
that is the best. I dared a friend once to say a certain passage of words on the main street in a poetic style as if he were on a stage doing Shakespeare. In return I would give him a double cd package of his favorite band.
We went out on to the street for our street ministry(there are an amazing amount of destitute that inhabit our streets) to do what we could.
I kept my eye on him and as I was working the other side of the street my girlfriend Rene kept staring at me because she could see I was not paying attention.
Just when I thought he had chickened out there was an influx of people meandering the streets on that hot sultry summer night. A bunch of bikers had just droned into town and had parked their shiney hogs all in a perfect row.
My friend just like that sort of got up on his tiptoes and to the horror of his buddy who was with him helping out he began his dialogue. It was hilarious and people stopped and stared at him like he was growing another head. It was both humiliating and hysterical all at once. I rushed out immediately to get him his package. He had guts man guts.
oh Kilted did you sing any fun Scottish ditties as you skipped along? How I would have loved to see you. you are no coward that is for sure, drunk or no.

[Pensive]

I have done many foolish stuff but there are some which I can never forget and those are:

I failed my Maths exam

Once I added my brother's friend in my msn contact's list and talked to him in my brother's style. then he thought that it was my brother. When my brother went to his home, that guy asked my brother that did he fool him while using another hotmail ID, My brother saw the conversation window and then realized that it was me. He told his friend that it was his sister. After that, I really became very embarassed. I can not easily forget it. I did hurt someone's feelings just for fun. At that time, I was 12, not a small child. It bugs me many time.

Once I said a girl in my class who was very fat "Potato" and when I saw her face, she looked crestfallen....I did not know what to say. I thought to apologize from her but I didn't then she left the school but now when I think of her, I feel bad.

These are the three accidents that I can remember and that bugs me.

[rachel]

aw Pensive, you are so sensitive. I hope somehow you get to make it up to that girl but if not you have learned what not to say next time.
smile pretty girl.
