Message: <blockquote data-quote="AuroraGyps" data-source="post: 1945049" data-attributes="member: 1166">my worst date, that topped off a crappy dayIt was either the summer after my sophmore or junior years in HS (I dated the same guy for 18 monthes, so which summer it was ???).  The day started with my mother waking me up at 5AM (on a summer day... nothing to do, no where to go) with the phrase,"Wake up, I accidently slit my wrist!"  Ok, I was awake fast.  Turned out mom just HAD to get the last of the mustard out of it's squeezy container and proceeded to use a razor blade to cut open the thing.  NOTE: NEVER cut towards yourself when using a razor blade!.  Luckily, it was a brand new one.  So, quickly shifting into nurse mode, I check out the injury (which was just where a person would cut if they were really trying to commit suicide) wrapped it with a clean dish towel, wrapped that with an ace bandage, and then we both, with mom driving, headed to the hospital.  She got stitched up (luckily, it was more of a horizontal cut right under the tendon sheath, instead of a vertical cut right into the wrist), drove to the place she works and had one of her bosses drive us both home.Ok, that's a heck of way to start the day <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" />, a day I was already not looking forward to because it was my favorite soap actor's last day on my fav. soap (petty, I know, but I was young).  So, when I finally talked to my boyfriend about what a yucky day I was having, he promised me a good surprise.  He and his dad (my guy didn't drive yet) picked me up and my guy blindfolded me to make the date a surprise.  Before we got to the location, his dad blew the surprise (oops) & mentioned the bowling alley (not that there was/is alot to do locally in my hometown).  We met up with my guy's brother, his friend, and two of my friends.  Great right?  Just a couple of problems: I don't bowl, my girlfriends didn't bowl, and my guy didn't bowl!  So while the guys bowled... my guy doing very badly, we girls played video games (& what a great selection of games there were in 1989-1990  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />).  We kinda salvaged the night with w/ ice cream at Friendly's, but it was still a pretty lame day/date.</blockquote>
