One time we just went to the playground in the park and hung out (which, as you said, was pretty boring) and one time we actually got a ride (I think one of my friend's older brothers) to the reservoir and sat on the dam. Which again, was exciting and rebellious on the way there, sort-of boring once we got there.Bevimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924337684790883853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575209851731621303.post-21899825977073651532013-06-30T11:30:40.316-04:002013-06-30T11:30:40.316-04:00Knowing what I know of boys, that makes perfect se...Knowing what I know of boys, that makes perfect sense.

In college, it usually meant cramming which was a combo of excitement/adrenaline/junk food. Now that I'm "over the hill", staying up all nite is just plain torture and I dream of vacations where I can go to bed at 9:00PM.<br />As far as sleepovers,the big thing was to sneak out. But once out, there was never much to do but no one wanted to admit that it was boring.Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08831231531918915804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575209851731621303.post-30633988980654134302013-06-29T19:46:37.080-04:002013-06-29T19:46:37.080-04:00I like the way you showed her excitement about the...I like the way you showed her excitement about the sleepover turning into a nightmare.

It didn't work, so they got a bigger bowl and warmer water but when the girl tried to make her way her through the maze of sleeping bags she tripped and dumped the whole bowl all over me. Quite the rude awakening.

When I got up in the morning to use the washroom, they poured water into my sleeping bag and tried to claim I'd wet myself during the night. <br /><br />Great depiction of the hell that is adolescent girl politics.
