Probably how fast I used to drive. I'd go home during my 70-minute "free periods" in high school. It should have taken 10 minutes to get there, but I would try to cut that down to 7 or 8, which involved going about 50 mph on a 30 mph residential road. Now I don't know why I'd go home--I would have had more free time if I stayed at school.
Copious amounts of psychedelics. Well my mother would be surprised anyway...
Wow, what wouldn't they be surprised about? The alcohol use, for starters...
my friend Ryan and I wanted to be a 2-man band and practiced playing badly in a storage room of his house, recording on a crappy cassette recorder. sounded terrible, and we knew it, but it was a blast.
They would be surprised how much soft porn I watch. I was addicted to Real Sex on HBO and any other soft core porn I could find at night on skinomax.
No comment. No comment at all.
How much I broke curfew in college!
One of our favorite pastimes in junior high was playing strip poker with the neighborhood kids.
Smoke pot (still do, lol!)
Tee hee hee!
Nothing! They suspected a lot more than I actually did!
I want to say "lots," but I think I've lost the capacity of surprising my parents...
Effectively skipped a semester of college. I was enrolled and got OK grades that quarter but spent most of my time in the bookstore or the library. I still believe the books I read then were a better use of my time. :-)
Binge drinking
How much I wanted to run away from my life, to the point I get in my car and leave, with no place to go, only to psych my self out of it a few hours later and turn around and go home.
