Anyone have an interesting or wild youth?

Not really. I was the oldest and didn't get to do the things my younger sisters did later; I don't even think I wanted to do the things they did. I went away to college and got a little more adventurous, bummed around Europe with another sister, and almost joined the Peace Corps. But on the whole, I was pretty boring and wasn't much of a rebel.
 
I could have been much worse - strict parents, middle class suburb and a high school where everyone was expected to go to university. I guess my stuff was minor - pot, alcohol, skipping school. I got married at 18 also - 6 months after graduation. And 6 months after that a baby boy.
 
I'm surprized that I survived my teens. Apart from motorcycling (survived with only one trip to A&E for a few stitches), probably one of the stupidest things I did was while sailing. The guy I sailed with had the idea that holiday makers always had a few frames left in their cameras (pre- digital), so they might as well take pictures of us. So, we would wait until the ferry to N.Ireland was ready to sail, and then deliberately capsize near it. Of course people would rush to the side to see what had happened. We would wave, shout that we were OK, right the boat and sail off (opening the self-bailers as we went). Bloody stupid thing to do, but we were invincible in those days. I wonder how many people took photos of us?

I could probably write a book too............slight hitch though, I'd probably have to make stuff up because I don't think I'd remember most of it. Good thing I decided to have kids, they're responsible for the memory function beginning to work again ;).

Ohhh...a menage a trois? And he is hot!

Forgot to mention that the summer of my junior year I was grounded ALL summer for sneaking out at night to go party. I was found missing in the middle of the night by my granny who heard it raining and went in my room to check the window was shut.

Shali, I'm curious - your commune was "deep in the country" of Canada? Or where? I'm just wondering because going without clothing in Canada in the winter time would not be fun. Brrrrrr! Even Vancouver gets chilly. :winter1:
 
Hi Glinda, we lived just north of Victoria, on southern Vancouver Island. During the chilly months, we did wear clothes outdoors., although some of the hardier types would go skinny dipping in the river. We weren't nudists, per se, it was a personal choice thing, but it is more difficult to be a poseur when one is naked, IMHO.lol.

Yes, we had a nude beach in Santa Cruz, CA which my ex and I enjoyed in the early 70s - not sure if it's still there. When the temp was just right, and we had plenty of sunscreen, total nudity was so much more sensual.
 
THAT'S where I saw you Glinda!!! I KNEW I'd seen you before! Remember me? I wore the mirrored shades and had the large....................................................umbrella?
