Truth or Dare

Last night started out with some urban exploring with Carley and Donovan. I remembered an abandoned house my old man and I found on a trail. It was located on a beach between Anacortes and the oil refinery. It was further than expected, it was about 2 miles away. Donovan showed his frustration with this every time we passed a road I could have parked the car at and been closer. There wasn't much to the house, a creepy basement with a stove and freezer. It was one of those chest freezers, perfect size for body parts. 

After that we headed for Jenny's house where movie night was being held. The movie was over when we got there. The group tried to think of something to do. "Lets break the round about record." "I'm not driving." "My tanks on empty." "My license expired." "No insurance." We are hopeless. He ended up sitting around and talking. Some one came up with the bright idea to play 10 fingers. I hate this game, I always win this game and I'm not sure how good of a thing that is. Then truth or dare. I don't mind this, I never played it in high school. My first dare is to go through my phone book and call a random person and talk to them for at least a minute and a half, Matt Louv's number comes up, I leave him a 2 minute message, mostly singing and then my I'm a fox and I like apple cider routine. Giving a banana a Bj was my grand finale of dares. Carley was dared to go streaking and she did it, nothing but shoes. Then she dared Donovan to go skinny dipping in the bay. He doesn't back down, so sure enough we drive down to the bay and the next thing we know Donovan's pasty butt is running down the dock and into the water. He shrills from the cold and makes his way out holding his junk in the most grace full manner. I stand ready with towels. He tells Carley she needs to do it. Alright she says. Jenny follows her to the dock with a blanket ready. Carley strips and now her little bum is racing down the dock, she makes a leap at the end. She out did Donovan. 
Oh small town life. 

I'm coming back to Evergreen soon. Pretty much ready to come back. Matt Louv and I were talking about starting a frat. So sk8 town.

Almost Getting Arrested

I almost got arrested today. I was hanging out with Katherine Paul, she rocks. We were on our way to The Business* in Annacortes. On the way we saw a bunch of old junk on this beach in Summit Park. We decided to go check it out and take some pictures. We found an old transit bus that was so badass! Even more Badass was finding an old rusty sign that said explosives on it. I set it to the side and continued to explore. 

As we left i took the sign with me. I broke rule 2 of Urban Exploring, "Do not take property, at least in an obvious way." I should've at least waited until night but this sign was so badass that i couldn't wait. DUMB! 

After going to The Business and having pizza at Village I got a call from my old man. He was angry, he said the Sheriff was there looking for me, something about an explosives sign. 

Fuck! I tell Kathy we have to go. I was calm at first but she started to get me freaked out. Crap who saw us, the owner, oh god the owner is gonna be some crazy old man. I'm going to jail, I'm gonna hand cuffed, court, lawyers, fines, I ain't got the goozalas for this shit. I dropped Katherine off and drove to my impeding doom. Canada then Cuba, start a new life. Oh shut up. I rolled up and saw my Old Man red faced in the driveway. Then the silver Sheriff car. Why the fuck is Sheriff car silver, fuck that shit I bet this hooptie wagon has rims. "Charlie, can I see the sign," Sure i say, i know this cop, he's aight. 

Long story short he said i could get arrested for trespassing and theft. Lucky me, the owner was cool and didn't press charges he just wanted his sign back. Cool Beans. The sheriff told me to stay out of trouble while i was in town. My Old Man said it was cool sign but i was a fucking idiot. This is true.
