Heh, that's disgusting. Well, I finally finished reading all the stories and now I am no longer as big a noob as I was before! I loved hearing about the history of Dukar, Sapphira going to wrong rooms, that fake story about the gang, and most everything else (and poopy stories are the best). I think this is one of my favorite topics.
I'm surprised that NE89 had so much trouble with his EMachine. My computer is an Emachine and it's worked excellent so far. Maybe in a few months it will start to do crazy things. And speaking of not wanting to use public restooms, one time at camp the sewage pipes needed to be emptied so people could only use the porta potties. Since I can’t stand using those filthy things I held my bladder when I had to go. But after a few hours it really started to hurt so I submitted to beast and won back my unsanitary sanity.
Hey, I remembered yet another story! But hold on because this story is a little suspenseful.
End of the Rope!Not very long ago my family went to a fun harvest party that we go to every year at this family's house in the country. We have hay rides through the woods, lots of great food, huge camp fires, walks in the woods, and plenty of fun with our friends from church.
Well, near the end of the night when it was almost time for me and my brother to leave, I saw a few of my friends running somewhere through the dark and I decided to follow them. I didn't know what they were up to... until I got there and knew right away. The rope swing. The family has a pond behind their house and a large tree over it with a rope tied to a big branch and hanging from it close to land. My friends love to grab it, swing over part of the pond, and then swing back (but you don't want to fall in because it's so cold at night). It’s really crazy but so much fun to watch them do it.
So, since I’m more brave than usual this year I decide to try the rope swing and see how great it is. So I grab it and decide where to swing from. There’s 3 levels you can choose: on the ground close to the water, on a small hill a big farther away for a bigger swing, and finally a round picnic table on top of the hill for a really big swing. I went for close to the water since this was my first time, and then grabbed the rope and got ready for it. I suddenly got nervous though and my friends cheered me on to do it and finally and stop thinking about it and just went. So I swung over the water… and suddenly lost my grip! I crashed into chilly waters and my friends screamed. There was a lot of horrible things in the water like huge rocks, sharp objects, and… I’m pulling your leg right now! Lol.
No, here’s what really happened. The first time I swung over it and I came back just fine. Now that I knew it wasn’t so bad save the rope burns, I walked up to the ledge for a much bigger swing. More hesitation at first and then I went. It’s a lot of fun to swing over a pond in the dark. You feel the air hitting you when you fly and get a nice view of the water. But suddenly, and I don’t know why or how, my left hand slipped off the rope, and I was left hanging from it by one arm. As I flailed in the air from losing half my grip I thought, “Oh no. I’m really going to fall in. I’ll break my legs and then be in a wheel chair. And I won’t be able to play Mario Mix! Aaaagggh!†But my body refused to let me take the plunge. Adrenalin kicked in and my right arm cluthced to the rope like crazy. My arm hurt a lot but I had to do my best and hang on. And somehow I did. I couldn’t fall in no matter what. And I didn’t! I came back to land with only one arm and my friends were laughing like crazy. They thought for sure I would fall in and so did I. It still feels like I did fall in. Only a miracle from God that I made it. If I ever try that again I’ll make sure my arms are in better shape (and my arms hurt a lot after that night). Then I’ll go for the table swing.
For another suspensful story but not nearly as good, I could also tell you all the story of
how I got my Sonic doll (at the bottom of the page). You can choose for yourself if you want to read it.
