TouchDown
Is it Friday yet?
OK.
I know all of us get a bad rap about being completely anti-social, pocket protector wearing, stand in the corner at the party type people. There's nothing wrong with being reserved and keeping your pens (I just reread this and I need to EDIT, yes I said PENS) from staining your best new button down shirt, either.
But, when my to-be wife met me and my roomates when we were in college, she was let's say pleasantly surprised that engineers can have fun and be kind of wild.
Some of her friends have thought the same thing in the past (about engineers being stuffy and not having fun). I will say though that I'm still probably a big geek... That's beside the point.
Then the other day, she was talking with a friend in Arkansas (I think), and this person ONLY knew 4 engineers. It was 2 couples where all 4 of them were engineers, and they were serious swingers in the biggest sense of the word. How did she find this out, well it seems girls like to talk about conquests with each other and she was getting information about their swinger parties.
When my wife told her that I was an engineer, she said - wow, you guys must be super wild, because all the engineers I know are super wild and have sex parties.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER HEARD THOSE WORDS SPOKEN (not in jest) ABOUT ENGINEERS EVER.
Without being too revealing, what is the absolute wildest thing you've ever done.
I'm pretty tame. I didn't drink alcohol until I was near 21, but the summer after I turned 21, I was close to binge drinking. At one party, I got so wasted, I was letting people ride my back down our carpeted stairs like a sled. I woke up in a neighbor's house in my underwear with rug burns all over my body and I had NO idea how I got there or where my clothes were. That was a fun summer, if only I could remember parts of it...
