Re: memories

One of my fondest memories would have to be my first summer break from school, all the way back after kindergarten. I remember driving past my school one time during the next school year and asking my mom when "we're having the year long break again". In reality, the break was only two and a half months, but because perception of time is relative to age, it felt like a lifetime.

The first time I smoked weed is a great memory too. Also the first time I smoked weed and listened to dredg.

And I can't forget to add the time I read auto's memory of ars' memory of meeting Lenka. Those were swell times.

Re: memories

What'd you do the first time you smoked weed?
I remember one of the first times I did, if not the first time. I was in 10th grade. The day before was picture day and I had skipped school, so the next day I started doing my makeup, smoked some weed and looked all over for my wig (this was while I was shaving my head bald). I could find it nowhere. After searching for what seemed like an eternity, this friend of mine I carpooled with went with me to school and helped me find my first class. It was sculpture. We were doing wire sculptures and I couldn't do it worth a shit so I just sat there and laughed a lot. Then the principal comes and gets me and I'm like, OH FUCK. Pulls me in this room and there's cameras and a backdrop so I had to take my yearbook picture, turns out they were doing it that day since I had missed picture day the day before.

So there I am in my 10th grade yearbook, blazed and bald and with no eyebrows, because I used to shave them and draw them on and I never finished doing my makeup after I smoked.

I got home from school that day and it turns out my fucking wig was on my bed the whole time. I swear I looked all over my room for that stupid wig.

Re: memories

My first time smoking, I ditched school sometime in 11th grade and rode the city bus to a park where I met my friends. I smoked out of a home-made bamboo pipe with a fucking ratchet nut for a bowl. It was some straight up mad scientist shit. I laughed a lot, and stared at absolutely nothing a lot, and it was one of the most entertaining experiences of my life.

Re: memories

My first Bonnaroo is probably one of the most amazin' memories that I have. Especially Sunday watchin' Wolfmother and lookin' up at the sky and it was on fire. But in a good way. A really amazin' way. And then almost gettin' into a fight with a giant light-bulb for talkin' shit to me. Thankfully my Native American guide (okay he's only half, but you get the point) convinced me it would not be a good idea.

Also two of the best times I've been high. The first was also my first time smokin' outta a bong with one of my best buddies. Was really messed up for a while and when I finally drove home I was still under the influence. It must've been like 3am and I was listenin' to Sans Seraphs record and it felt and looked like I was drivin' through space. The second was at a party at this same friends' place and I looked at the cover of his copy of Menomena's Friend And Foe. I was laughin' hysterically and cryin' because for about five minutes I understood the universe. Then they woke me from my trance and I was most unhappy with them.

Re: memories

What'd you do the first time you smoked weed?

The very first time I smoked it, I remember staring at my roommate/girlfriend, who was reading a book. I started laughing hysterically and just couldn't stop...she looked so fucking focused and interested in it, LoL. What was going on in my mind could not possibly compare to any kind of excitement that a book could possibly provide. That's the thought that was going through my mind at the time...and it was so fucking funny :]

EDIT: She was stoned, too.

Re: memories

The first time I smoked weed was in a car outside a party with a chick I was WAY into and a friend of mine who I kinda didn't want there. I didn't get high. Then after my friend went inside and announced to EVERYONE that I had just smoked for the first time. I didn't really know anyone there so I don't know who looked like more of a douche, him or me.

The first time I got truly high was about a week later. Some friends and I went to meet some other friends at this really great Chinese food restaurant (RIP Golden Bowl. Your name was great). We each had our own bowl on the way there. I felt perfectly normal until I got up and out of the car when it fully hit me. We just kept looking at each other and cracking up the whole time and our other friends were like "what's WRONG with you guys?!" Then we got smashed, drove to another restaurant and were told that the manager wouldn't let the bartender serve us, but she did anyways. Looking back on it, that was one of the most dangerous nights of my life. Pretty stupid.

As far as a fond memory... the summer of 1997, a year after graduating high school. I can't point to any one specific time that was good, it was just all fun. Never went to college so all my "college years fun" was spent with my best friends.
