left me home alone for the weekend. As soon as my family's car was out of sight, I rode my bike to our town's video store and picked up all of the R-rated titles I could hold in my backpack. Lethal Weapon. Die Hard. Terminator 2. I ended up hearing lots of swears. I saw people get pretend shot. I even saw Arnold Schwarzenegger's naked bum. And I stayed up wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy past midnight.

It was Babylon unleashed.

(I do realize that kids today probably have more opportunities to get into actual trouble. Also, I was probably a giant nerd at that point, so my personal opportunities to get into REAL trouble were probably limited.)

EDIT: Upon further reflection, it's not accurate to say I was a giant nerd at that point. I have always been and currently am a giant nerd. Needed to get that off my chest.
