I'm just now reading this, too. Good luck on Thursday, man.
And, to make you feel better (because you get to laugh at me being an idiot), I'll tell you the story of my first trip to jail.
My friend got a permit to burn garbage in his yard, and the garbage was a ruined couch. So, we burned it in the front yard (the house had no backyard. well, 2 feet from the house was the fence, separating the property behind it.). No big, right? Well, it happened to be a college town. And late at night. People in nearby houses (some of them frat houses) decided that it was a bonfire, and came by. Drunk people happened, havoc ensued, fights started, cars got turned over............cops were called. Myself and 5 male friends were arrested, as I actually started the fire (don't as me how 5 guys can't start a fire without burning themselves. I have no clue), and the others lived at the place.
So, I'm sent into holding, in a holding cell with 7 other women; 5 very hardened prostitutes, a drunk woman 1/2 missing the toilet with her vomit, and a woman insisting that she'd hidden a blade, so I shouldn't start any sh*t.
2 hours later, the cops decide that what we'd done was by the books, we had no control over the local drunken populace, and we could go home. So, I'm reunited with the guys.
"Oh, man!" one of them says. "That was the scariest thing that ever happened to me!!"
"Oh, yeah?" I ask. "What kind of people did you have in your cell?"
"Oh, it was just the five of us, but, man, I was totally scared!!"
At this, I was a bit pissed.
"YOU were scared? I was in there with 5 scary prostitutes, a puking drunk, and a scary-ass bald lady who wanted to cut me. You're idiots!!"
So, yeah, there was my first-ever (not last-ever) trip to jail. Oh, btw, I was 17 at the time. With no I.D. on me. All kinds of fun :P
