The most memorable thing you've ever done... (so far)

[verb1999]

Some advice for the kids out there: spend the rest of your lives, from the moment you stop reading this, creating experiences to fill this thread up with.

I have a lot, most of which include traveling, seeing cool places, exotic beaches, following rock n roll bands state to state, catching shows in different cities. But, if I were to pick one moment, one thing I did that if I died today, people would probably talk about most at my funeral, is when I broke into a rival school in the middle of the night, broke into the trophy case, and stole a trophy that should've been ours. Just like you see in the movies. I actually did that. It's a very long story, I won't type out every detail. I did end up getting caught, because some moron kid was talking too loud at school about it, so when a teacher overheard they called him into the office and grilled him, so he got scared and gave up the information. Idiot. So I had to go to court over it, was initially charged with felony burglary, but was dropped down to a petty misdemeanor, and I barely got into any trouble. Luckily I got onto the judge's good side that morning.

I know there are two sides to this coin. People who think it's awesome and legendary, while others think it was wrong, and very mean. But I think my dad summed it up the best, when he found out what I did. I came home, he didn't look happy, and he said, "Hey....you stole that trophy......." with a look of serious disappointment. He wanted me to know, you know? Then a few seconds later he said, "But hey........you stole the trophy!!" and gave me a high 5. Then continued to tell me I can't and shouldn't be doing stuff like that, etc.

If I leave an impression on anybody, with any words that I've ever typed in this forum, I hope it's with this phrase: "Let's do something that will make us remember tonight for the rest of our lives..."

What are your life's exotic moments that really stand out? I understand not everybody will have much, but that's ok. I know a lot of the kids here are younger, maybe have the freedoms (license, car, etc) to actually get out and do anything too crazy just yet. It's never too late to come up with something good. Be creative. Then report back.

One I know for sure I'll remember forever is riding a dolphin, it's something I know is on a lot of people's wish lists, at least swimming with dolphins. But we were in Mexico when I was like 8-9 y/o and my sister, my cousins and I all got to swim with the dolphins, the parents all were in the stands watching. The thing was we paid just for the "swim with the dolphins" which wasn't really swimming with the dolphins, it was us standing on a ramp we all got to pet on the dolphins and make them do jumps for fish by doing these arm movements, and we all got to get a smooch from the dolphins, it was really rad but we were in these two groups and all of a sudden I'm being hearded to the front everyone's like "she's the smallest in this group" and I was like "WAT?" now when I was younger I had almost drowned several times, I was not a very strong swimmer in fact just a day prior I was dragged out to sea underwater and if it wasn't for my mom's boyfriend quick response I would be dead. But so there we are at the edge of this platform we were all on and they had the dolphin come up to me from the deeper water, the water was like 12 feet deep at least so the dolphins had room to swim but I was mortified tbh as they had the dolphin flip on it's back and told me to hang on to it's fins. Then the dolphin took me around the big tank over the super deep water, it was honestly really awkward tbh because I had salt water splashing in my face, and was basically being HUMPED by a dolphin as it swam backwards. But once I got back to the platform I laughed and like, it was pretty freaking cool cause NOBODY else got to do it in the group so it was like a big f you to them. XD When I tell people I've ridden a dolphin they usually don't believe me, but I have it on film so I mean, believe that!
