» School Sports Day

One sports day, Cha was in elementary school...
It wasn't so much "sports day" as "put a bunch of kiddy pools in the playground and hope for the best" day.
Of course, I was like eight and excited like crazy and it was all anyone had been talking about for roughly nine millenia, and I could not wait.
The day came, oh joy
I forgot MY FUCKING BATHING SUIT.
I was sitting on the asphalt basically suicidal, on the hottest day of the year, watching everyone else cavort around in the pools, splashing each other, blowing bubbles, and generally being smug little asshats.

Worst part? I got the most horrifically painful sunburn ever. I can still feel it. Yeesh. Fuck you, splash day.

» In the Army Now - The joy of the Armed Forces

Crazy friend's mum
I had a friend when I was about eight, she was my best friend, I loved her a lot, etc. Except, she moved like a zillion times, because her mum was in the army.
The thing was, every time I went over, her mum would bitch about how awful the army was, and she'd say "Don't ever join the army, promis me, you'll hate it" and sometimes she was drunk, and I was afraid.
So, I am now scarred towards the armed forces, and I will never join, ever. No matter what.
