Vent thread

@MagpulPony
 
Aye.
 
Shit, I’ve been doing worse for a lot longer.
 
Been drinking since I was 14, fucking since I was 16, and working since I was 15.
 
When I was 21 I was far more unfettered than most. I was never a sheltered youth.

@Zincy  
I’ve drank or done any kind of drugs. The craziest I guess I ever did was suck a girl’s toes in a closet at a party.

@Dex Stewart  
Is it that kind of thread now?
 
Well then:  
One day back in middle school I had an itch on my leg, like a real bad itch, and so I scratched at it pretty hard but everyone gave me weird and funny looks because they thought I was doing something else even the teacher was like “WTF KID?”.

@CaptainXtra  
Lol me too.

@Zincy
 
@Dex Stewart
 
I’ve never done anything like that. I’ve flown planes, raced in supercars, traveled the world, moved 10 times, and plenty of other stuff, but no drinking, drugs, sex, hardcore partying, etc. That life just never really appealed to me.

@MagpulPony  
We didn’t have airplanes and supercars.

@MagpulPony
 
I ain’t never flown a plane, nor raced in a car.
 
I’ve raced speed boats, that was fun. I traveled around a lot but never really moved much, only moved 4 times in my life. Lived overseas for a bit, that was fun. Expensive, beer costs a lot in Stockholm, but the people were nice.
 
Ain’t anything I’ve done that can really be considered “hardcore”.

@Zincy  
Favorite place to visit that is a traditional destination was always a tie between Australia and England, though our primary vacation spot was Mustique Island. It was so damn nice, I miss those days.
 

 
@ᏰᎯᎠᎻᎬᎯᏒᎿ  
In Texas?

@MagpulPony  
What about your class misunderstanding your actions?
 
My former classmates are probably weirded out by me because of THAT event.

@CaptainXtra  
Because of not conforming to what would be considered traditional young behavior?

@CaptainXtra
 
I did tons of weird bullshit in my school days.
 
Including but not limited to-  
Stealing the clock out of a classroom  
Stealing a stapler  
Turning a drinks machine around to make it inaccessible  
Wiring my friends chair into an outlet to zap him when he sat down  
Playing poker with a friend in class  
Coloring in an entire chalkboard  
Eating my lunch from atop a drinks machine  
Climbing up to the tallest tree in the front lawn  
Building a bladed weapon out of a push pen, a nail, and a spring  
Marching with the ROTC without actually being in the ROTC (it took them 10 minutes to notice I was there)  
Getting a Bj in the several of the bathrooms  
Sneaking in a flask of vodka  
and a few more things.

@Zincy  
Out of all of that, the chalkboard is the most impressive.

@MagpulPony
 
That was the moment they learned not to leave me unattended.
 
Not that it mattered, I wandered where I pleased most of the time. I’d just sort of wander out of the lunch room and go hang out in empty classes/rooms. I did not, and still do not, respond to authority well.
 
Spent a lot of time in the VP’s office. Old man Daugty, tough as nails former wrestling coach. Dead now, real shame, cancer took him I think.
 
Fought a lot too. Less so as I got older.

My voc rehab councilor says it’s a bad idea to tell people what I’ve done.

@Zincy  
I hated school, was a straight A student, but still hated it. Eventually I just went with an online academy instead.

@MagpulPony
 
I hated it at first, but I’m a slick talker. Pretty soon I had myself a cushy little gig. I would have been straight A’s if it wasn’t for my German class.
 
 
Can’t really say I hate school, since I’ve been in higher ed for a decade.
 
@Ninji
 
 
In my line of work, exciting stories make you more hireable.

@Ninji  
talking about having spent 10 years on an internet forum about cartoon horses isn’t usually a good icebreaker.

@Zincy  
Okay, not true actually, My performance in mathematics was abysmal, didn’t get an A in that class. Everything else, though, yes.

I fired up Forza 6 and bought a black Lamborghini.

I ain’t done nothin’.
 
And I’m sure that’s my fault alone.
 
It’s not like i don’t want to.
 
Well maybe i don’t.
 
Maybe I’m a bit too simple to do alot of things, like a young person should.

@Cyborg_pony  
I’ve committed treasonous grand theft arson-larsony amphetamine laundering with the intent of indecent exposure by the age of 12.
 
I tried getting a job finally at 25. I shat on the bosses desk the first day.

@Ninji  

 
This is why I like you so much.

Fucking hell, I spent the first decade of my life being a dedicated Christian Boy and now I’m skeptical as fuck of religion as an adult.
 
I admire the ideals of peace and forgiveness but the existence of groups like the KKK and fucks who constantly make dumb doomsday predictions really irritate me.
 
I really say “fuck” a lot don’t I?

@CaptainXtra  
Been a Christian pretty much my whole life, still am, despite my faith certainly being tested lately.
