"I got home and a female friend was there. I expected her but no one else. I was talking with her and then another guy I know came out. I said we you later to ask him to leave so he did. Then another group of people came in ready to party. I told them all they have to leave. Then a group of drunk guys came up to the window and said they were there to party. I said the party is closed go away. One of them pulled on the window and broke it so I went out to fix it. I got in a bit of a fight with the guy who broke it and threw him down the stairs since he wouldn't leave or fix the window. When I got back to the house a bunch of people were there partying. I told them all they had to leave but the three hot girls mixed into the crowd could stay. My friend who was originally there approved. They all left but one of the girls came back. We were so hanging out and I put glow tape on us. Then we went for a drive in my original friend's van since there was a big party around town it seemed. We ended up driving through open large bay doors into a building and there was an auction going on and we were in the center of it. So we kept driving through and off the stage there was a crazy drop-off and I was like you can't go this way and she was like watch this and drove off. Turning at the same time and landed perfectly in the parking spot on the bottom. We got it and walked to a party going on outside there and there was a bunch of people smoking weed with a crazy vape. I couldn't figure out how to use it but it was heating up. When it was ready it forcefully shot weed smoke out into my lungs. The next person used it and it shot a stream of smoke across the room into another person's mouth in a tight stream. It was impressive. "

"I was in another country fighting in a Muay Thai tournament, but the tournament had weird rules and you weren't allowed to hit anyone, so it seemed more like a dance. So I was dancing and everyone, like I had lost the tournament badly because I was dancing and I guess if there was something else you're supposed to be doing, like dancing in a certain way that was more like fighting, but I just like didn't understand what the rules were. So I was just dancing instead. So I talked him into letting me be in another round and I just danced again, but still didn't really get it. So I lost the tournament and I was talking to some other people about the tournament and I was telling them there's a tournament next door and maybe they should try it because I knew that they were interested in Muay Thai and I told them that I probably should have just been hitting and fighting because it seemed like maybe that's what you're supposed to do. But they laughed and said that you're not supposed to hit and that that's not the way to do it, but you have to like follow the rules and I just didn't understand like what the rules were or how to be in a Muay Thai tournament without actually fighting."

"I was walking in a dark city with a woman we were eating a bag of potato chips. we were followed by three men. The men started chasing us so I offered them the chips to get them to stop chasing even though I wanted to eat the chips myself. One man attacked the woman and was on top of her. I ran to them and was going to attack him. But we all stopped. I knew I could kill them all but I didn't want to end their lives and couldn't see how else to handle the situation. So I warned them. Then woke up"
