Never have and never will. I'm too picky with men. If I do get drunk enough to want to go home with somebody, it's always someone I know, and usually someone I've already been with and never planned on being with again lol.
I was on the bus one day and saw this gorgeous boy and felt drawn to him and sat by him. We talked and it turns out we knew people in common! The more he talked the more familiar he seemed and simultaneously it hit us--oh, God, that drunken party downtown....the hot guy/chick....ruh roh, awkward... In my defense I was seventeen and foolish at the time. And it's kinda not my fault as this guy was a teenage ringer for Jesse Williams (Brooklyn's Finest). http://images.search.yahoo.com/searc...illiams&sz=all
Man this thread makes me feel old. I haven't even hit menopause yet, but I remember when:
Venereal diseases could be cured with a shot of penicillin
Crack was not invented, and meth wasn't either
You could hitchhike unmolested around the country--women too (and I did)
Everyone in this country weighed an average of 30 lbs. less than they do now
Soda and candy were an occasional treat
No Wal-mart, and McDonalds just taking off
Real downtowns, not these strip-mall after strip-mall nightmares
No internet, cellphones, CDs, DVDs, and pinball was big--and VCRs came out when I was in college--if you wanted to see a movie again you had to wait til summer and hope the theatres would show it again
I'm sure I could think of a few more but going to bed.
Man, I was looking forward to all that and by the time I got to adulthood...POOF! It was long gone. And pinball was my LIFE!!!
Darn, no! I usually tend to remember who I meet the night before... Of course, that's pretty much in past tense as well.
So sad, yup, past tense! Too much crap around these days! I miss my teens and early 20s!

If some how you could see cd people of that age in pics of 40 years ago, they would appear a lot different than they do now, not just older.
Back then it really wasn't drinking that we did either.
Nope, not drinking, just loving - and protesting!

You must have started early to not have hit menopause and remember this stuff!

Yup, didn't need alcohol to believe in free love.

Party pooper!
I remember when.......I didn't sleep much those days - so I never woke up with a stranger. Now, I had my share of sex with guys I didn't know well, but when the next day came, I remembered who he was - and I did not sleep with him - sleep was a waste of time! There was round 2 or something else to do.
There is something special about sex with someone you don't know well and probably won't see again. Gosh, it's been years and years. Those were the days my friend....

It wasn't that long ago. Thinking of all those things makes me realize that 1980 was the pivotal year and I was 20. That was also the year that the gays came out of the closet--en masse. It was almost simultaneous that gays came out of the closet and aids was discovered. It was about that point that the dieticians began to say that it was fat that was causing weight problems and not eating fat would cure the problem--and we all gained weight--about a lb a year, collectively. About that year that a young woman in CA was discovered walking along the side of a highway, in shock, nude, and with her arms cut off. She'd been hitchhiking and a drunk picked her up and raped her and cut her arms off and after I heard that I never hitched again. VCRs came out when I was in college. And it was around 1980 that pacman came out and pinball became a dinosaur.

Singleton was released after serving only eight of his 14 years in prison. He was arrested again in 1997 for murdering a prostitute.
Wikipedia says:
Governor George Deukmejian ordered that Mr. Singleton be placed at San Quentin for the duration of his one-year parole. The outrage at this sentence resulted in legislation which prevents the early release of offenders who have committed a crime in which torture is used: in 1987 Singleton's parole led to passage of California's "Singleton bill," which carries a 25-years-to-life sentence.
So at least that's something.
When I was younger, the big fear was about the "Night Stalker." He was closer to home.
