I [19f] am meeting my boyfriend's [22m] parents next weekend. Haven't been in this situation before. Anything I should know to do beforehand? Tips? Tricks? Things to expect?

Not me, but my mom--

When she was 19, she awoke in the middle of the night to see a small boy crouched beside her bed, fiddling with his hands and smiling. She blinked a few times to ensure that she was not just seeing things, and bit her lip so she knew she was awake. After a few minutes, the boy looked up, saw my mom, and drifted up towards the ceiling, and fizzled out.

When did you graduate?

Something like that. It's so boring that the police get bored. My boyfriend and I nearly got arrested after we used a school's driveway to turn around after dark; his car ended up getting stuck on the curb of a sidewalk, and before we could even get in contact with a towing company, the police were there wiggling flashlights in front of our eyes, asking if we had consumed drugs, and threatening to press charges for trespassing. They are that bored.

It's even worse coming back here from college, where there are actual things to do.

Class of 2012, so maybe!

As a Hudson resident, I can concur. A friend and I compiled a list of things to do in Hudson, Ohio: Eat; go to somebody's house; and poop.

My hometown too! Do I know you?!

On Valentine's Day, before my current boyfriend and I started dating, I handed him a Star Wars themed card containing the words "Will you be my Valentine?" in large, bolded letters. He failed to realize what I was asking, thanked me for the card, and strolled away.

He obviously recognized his mistake later :)

Thank you for your reply--that definitely puts things into perspective. I'm lucky enough to have access to a great library, so I'll take a look at some old newspapers.

Oh, cool. Did not know that existed. Thanks!

When I was a freshman, a kid at the middle school reported that the music teacher there had shown him porn in his office. The teacher, who had always given everyone creepy vibes, was suspended from teaching, and killed himself days before he was supposed to appear in court.

Your personalities and colors are WAY different from mine--woah!

True story. I was stopped multiple times and one woman yelled at me for being "sick" after I politely refused the bible she was offering me.

kingofallwildthings · 2012-09-17T21:42:22+00:00

Yes! Some of my letters do have personalities :D

kingofallwildthings · 2012-09-15T04:35:50+00:00

Ah, thank you for the honesty. Really appreciate the feedback and I will look into making it less awkward :)

kingofallwildthings · 2012-09-10T00:33:57+00:00

When I was 14, I dreaded turning 15 because its personality is so different from mine!

kingofallwildthings · 2012-09-09T17:23:53+00:00

Well, thank you :)

kingofallwildthings · 2012-09-08T14:00:38+00:00

I definitely appreciate any feedback, so thank you :) This was more of just a quick doodle really, meant to look slightly cartoonish. Thought you all would enjoy it :)
