My stories are really lame compared to the rest of these.

I had a sort of fetish for starting fires when I was in 8th grade, and there is this ditch that always seems to get full of tumble weeds near my old middle school. My friend and I would go there often and set them on fire and watch them burn during lunch time. This once, we had the bright idea of hauling all the massive tumbleweeds together into one spot of the ditch and setting them on fire. So we did, and the fire sprouted very suddenly and was freaking loud as hell. We were only 14, and pretty dumb at that time. Scared the shit ouf of us and we took off running. Some people said they saw us (the ditch was just far enough so that most of the fires we lit couldn't easily be seen from the school, but this fire was BIG) and were saying that the security guards at the school were going to call the cops on us. I kept worrying about getting caught and being charged for arson. I'm not sure if burning weeds outside in a ditch could be considered arson, but it scared the shit out of me.

Similar incident in highschool (the obsession lasted quite a while) when another one of my friends and I lit a bunch of bathroom trashcans on fire. There was an announcement made the next day stating that arson is a felony, and that if caught, the individuals could be fined up to $500. I was sitting in French class when they made the announcement and I practically shit my pants.

Another time when I was scared as hell is when this chick that I used to stalk (yes, I admit it, ok?) was getting pissed and threatened to press charges on me. Ahh... damn it. There's a really long story associated with this, which I actually consider to be the gist of my life thus far. Anyways, I radically changed my way of thinking from then on. I also apologized to her for everything I had done to her. (shut the fuck up already Stiltzkin) ::shuts up:: Anyways, yeah. I was scared as hell at the time when she had threatened to press charges against me. She ended up not going through with it for reasons unbeknownst to me.
