Fondling girls in the woods and under stair cases. Actually no not really. Heading out with my friends around noon and coming home around midnight. Nowadays, you gotta worry about pedophiles and human traffickers. It's sick and sad kids these days don't get the same freedoms I did as a child.[Edited on June 2, 2011 at 3:10 PM. Reason : .]

as gay as it sounds I wish I would have written journals when i was younger. So many crazy things from asscapades to dangerous stunts to just general tom foolery that I would love to go back and read first hand accounts of.

Remember when Nick at Night showed actual old TV shows? Like I Love Lucy, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, The Monkees, Lance Link: Secret Chimp, and Green Acres? They didn't even show any shows from the 70s until the late 90s (Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, All In The Family).I watched more of those shows than I did of pretty much every other show on then, except Tales From The Crypt.

Riding my bike outside all day and then, like clockwork, around dinner time an airmass thunderstorm would develop and I remember standing outside listening to it roll in, watching the lightning and waiting until it started raining before I went inside. That and going through hurricane Hugo in Charlotte are why I went into weather.

Also, farting whenever and wherever and not caring who heard or smelt it, crossing streams while pissing, and of course, sweatpants boners.

One thing I don't miss....Moving. I moved like three times between 7 and 13 and without facebook/twitter/whatever, you just completely lost touch with people. 10 year old kids aren't gonna call each other long distance just to chat. I probably lost like 20-30 good friends just by moving away.

as corny as it sounds some of my fondest memories are walking around NC State with my dad. He'd show me all the buildings he took classes in (College of Design) and we'd sit in those cement things in the Brickyard and then we'd go to Brother's Pizza and play arcade games and eat pizza.

I grew up in a pretty rural area, but my neighbor had an in ground pool. During the summers, it was the gathering place for the kids and adults in the immediate area. I fell in that pool when I was 2 years old and game up grinning. My brother and I both learned to swim there and I plan on teaching my son to swim over there this summer

playing with my cousin up on this mesh thing my uncle had set up for me and my cousin to play in up in the trees. Part of it was horizontal and bouncy and part of it was slanted then vertical so you could climb it. playing in the forts we made out in the woodsdigging out a little space just underneath the porch where some light got during the day and setting up a little garden of different yard weeds.
