In Certain Company...

...The experience I'm about to relate would've been much kinkier. You know, like if I was in the company of these guys.

(This post isn't fiction. I seem to have abandoned the "All-Fiction Blog" concept. But then, I'd also kind of abandoned the "blog" concept, so this is an okay compromise, right?)

Recently some friends and I visited a Fancy University. We were just sightseeing, as this campus is famous for its beautiful architecture and we happened to be in the area. But we were kind of annoyed when we realized there was a fee just to enter the grounds.

First, we argued with the guard. When that didn't help, we wandered around looking for a back entrance or easily-scalable fence. (We've been known to scale things in the past.) Finding none, and realizing we'd probably never be in this town again, we decided to go ahead and pay for the cheapest ticket available. This allowed us to tour the lawn and park. Once we made it past the guard, we proceeded to sneak into all the off-limits areas our limited time afforded us.

I mean, seriously. A beautiful old-timey university campus, and flagrant rule-breaking? Can you imagine the scenarios that would've struck the kinky-minded?

I, however, was just among the mischief-minded. Some things we did:

-Crept up a staircase when the guard wasn't looking and explored a place called "The Marble Hall." Seriously. It was just this hall where everything was made of marble. Did YOUR college have that shit?

-Nearly interrupted a choir concert due to our "go through any unlocked door" policy. Fortunately, one of my friends realized that these doors opened onto the stage before we had the chance to fantastically embarrass ourselves.

-Ran to the basement and checked out the cafeteria and some classrooms (sadly, the caf was closed for the day)

-Heard a class in progress, so crouched beneath the window and tried to listen in on the lecture

-Stole a job ad from the bulletin board because we thought it sounded suspiciously like a front for human trafficking*

-Availed ourselves of the student lavatory**

-Struck up a conversation with some faculty members when we heard the guard behind us and wanted to look like we fit in

Good times, man. And in hindsight, full of kinky potential. What would you do, if you were a scrupulous university guard or venerable professor, and you caught a trio of shameless foreigners gallivanting out of bounds?


*This is actually a serious problem in our area. And the ad was ten kinds of shady -- it asked for "young, beautiful women" who wanted "to travel" and the name and email address looked fake as hell. If it was legit, we're terrible vandals and should be cruelly punished.
**Notable only cause we'd have had to pay to use the public one

  2. Well, I was gonna join in EJ's guilt trip, but if you want to break all the rules at stuffy old universities instead of blogging, I say go for it!
