I was a sophomore in college, and I had a bit of a crush on a friend of mine who was a real wild child. She shoplifted all the time, was very rebellious, etc. I was dismayed by my own boring, by-the-book past, and wanted to impress her, so I decided to shoplift something from the campus store. I hit upon a disposeable fountain pen and one of those leather key chain wallet thingies. I made it out of the store without getting caught, but I was SO paranoid that they'd seen me do it and were just waiting to review the videotape and bring down the axe and expel me and fire me and post my guilty face all over campus. ACK!!!! This would explain my boring, by-the-book past, and my boring, by-the-book life ever since. That was my first, only, last experience shoplifting and I would never do it again. Not even to impress a girl.
