"a sobering thought: what if at this very moment i am living up to my full potential?" -jane wagner
Here are the top ten most frightening moments of my life... in no particular order...
10. hearing a bear at big bend state park and trying to "silently escape"
9. jumping off of "thrasher" the highest cliff at pace bend... but should count because my dad has been throwing me off that cliff since age 5.... ok, so no throwing, but we were fearless little kids, and he made us tough:)
8.entering the "midget house" with ten people following me because i had the one and only FLICKERING flash light. (the midget house is the local tall tale)
7. seeing the cop that i knew would arrest me, walk into my garage at a party.
6. being threatened at knife point in new orleans on bourbon street.... good call for me being sober and grabbing my trashed friend... hailing a cab and gettin the fuck out of there. 5.entering another tall tale abandoned home in the middle of no where in austin, and being chased out of it by a loud boom and an eighty year old woman (or at least we hope she was human)
4.going to class the next day and seeing a family photo from the abandoned house sitting on my desk in ap english.... my friends really got me there;)
3. being in the fourth grade, home alone with my brother that was in the seventh grade, when the swat team fully loaded with machine guns knocked on the door and asked for our back porch light to be turned off when there was a hostage situation in the house behind us. (VERY SCARY)
2. having to tell my mother that i failed my first and only class in the seventh grade and let me tell you.... the outcome was not pretty, so i had plenty to be frightened about. lets just say i knew what would happen, and i was so nervous that i gave myself strepthroat from worrying about it
1. ok, so i wasn't frightened, but i put it on the list because if i wasn't minorly intoxicated, i might have been a tad bit scared.... getting into a melee in the middle of the street in the pouring rain. there is a lot more to that story, but i promise i am a lover not a fighter... had to protect my girls that were getting attacked.
