We used to go to the high rises in downtown San Diego - hold the doors so they are closed enough to move but not all the way - stop the elevator between floors - open inner doors and then the outer ones - climb out and then hop on top - there are override and speed controls on top - then we'd hop across and each grab our own elevator and have races. That is nothing less than genius. LMFAO! Awesome!

Quoting: WaitTressSandwhich Me too, build little forts and do the battles. Also with roman candles. Blowing up fire ant hills. BB gun jousting on mini-bikes. Cardboard for the front shield. Almost got my eye shot out doing that. Town I grew up in had NO cops, at 15 I bought my first car and could drive anywhere in town I wanted. Every corner was sideways. Nearest cop was the Sheriff 7 miles away. We even had a FM road, where we marked off 1/4 mile for drag races on the weekends. No one bothered us. Skipping high school to hang out at the lake, parents didn't find out how many days you missed until report card time. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 74546020 United States 03/24/2017 11:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Anyone remember beeper sex (or pager sex)? It was basically a number-to-word conversion which was sent back and forth via pagers. when you beeped/paged someone you would put in your phone number or an emergency code (i.e, 911) to alert the person you're sending it to. Since it was only numerical, we had to improvise and it was fun as fuck. In the late 90s, pagers became such the rage that everyone had them, and in different bright colors too to suit your personality lol. Those numerical convos (i.e, 07734 or 58008, which when pager is turned upside down would spell "hello" or "boobs") became so addicting that it was basically the earliest version of text messaging as we know it. Certain people used their own codes and this and that. Using it as a sexting device was awesome too, and later one when pagers had different vibrating options, girls didn't hesitate to use that as a handy application for when her guy beeped the fuck out of her... Nowadays we use actual words written using actual letters. How boring :( |

We would drive around and pretend we were college students. Then, a trip to the mall for shopping. We would return before school was out. She would go home, and I would pick my Mom up from work in the car she let me borrow to drive to school. Also, younger we would go out and hike and play in the woods. We would bike ride around town until dark. It was fun. There was not a structured schedule, only the setting of the sun. |
