If a guy asked you "do you have a light"? ...then took your lighter, and threw it in the river... that was me.
I have been thinking about this since Sunday night, and I just feel like a total lame ass. Some people thought it was funny. (mainly my friends who know me) But for some reason I started doing it to strangers. And of course, the joke just didn't translate if you don't know me.
I don't want to make excuses, but I was really drunk. Getting too drunk, is something I have been struggling with for the last couple of years, and this is why. And it just makes me realize that my drinking must stop. Priceless was full of amazing people, and it makes me feel so stupid.
I thought about whether I should post this publicly or not, and the more I thought about it, the more I realized this is the only chance I have of hopefully reaching the people I pulled this lame ass, mean joke on, in the hopes of expressing some sort of apology.
If I threw your lighter in river, and you see me again, please slap me. Or, if you prefer something less violent, just pour something on my little, stupid head : (

Re: I am an idiot...
Thu, October 2, 2008 - 2:31 PMha go rabekah!
yeah man, the main issue i had with your actions was that it was a blatant public disregard to the 'leave no trace' theme going on and just really looked bad for everyone. Jokes are great, but not when they involve wasting resources. Its very fortunate that you chose to take the bic out of my lighter holder thing before throwing it away... Because I really like that little thing. I don't want to think about what might have happened, had you chucked the whole thing. -

Re: I am an idiot...
Thu, October 2, 2008 - 4:36 PMi saw you do this to a friend of mine, and i want to thank you for apologizing. it takes a lot of guts to apologize for this, and so publically admit you might have a problem. i hope you can find a way to deal with it - if you need help, there's a whole community here for you.
p.s. I FUCKING LOVED YOUR SET.

Re: I am an idiot...
Fri, October 3, 2008 - 1:07 PMyah, thanks for the apology. i was pretty miffed, especially because i was told NOT to give you a lighter and then i gave you one because i thought they were joking- and i don't even know you.
the issue felt two-fold: the fact that it was totally rude and obnoxious, and the fact that it was littering flammable liquid in a fire hazard area (don't think mine made it into the river)
someone slapped you? and you didn't stop? i heard you were doing a social experiment of sorts... maybe don't do those when you are getting wasted. not a good mix, because in the end, you are shown to be the experiment.
how many DID you throw? -

Re: I am an idiot...
Fri, October 3, 2008 - 9:34 PMagain, I'm really sorry.
I don't know how many I threw.
And I got slapped after I was done.
...And after that, I had beer poured on my head, had my new hat lit on fire, and then had it broken, then had more beer poured on me, and then just a lot of general abuse. It came from my friends, so I'm not trying to make anyone feel sorry for me. Just hoping that people understand I got repaid.
yes, it was an experiment.
no, it wasn't a very good one.
sorry again :( -

i didnt throw any lighters or get slapped, but two years ago at priceless, uh, lets just say i can relate. :)
(what is it about that 5am slot?)
and after a similar set of events (but much worse in my opinion) at another campout this summer, i finally was able to put my drinking habits in perspective and change some things accordingly (i still drink, but with certain adjustments)........
A LOT of us have made asses of ourselves in one state or another (ahem, cough!)- as long as we can use the opportunity to work on that reflection in the mirror as opposed to continually use this or that as an excuse, its not nearly as bad as it seems
