I was threatened with a knife and almost froze to death
Here's an MSN conversation I had with a friend about my two scariest experiences while drunk.
Me: ive never seen anything bad happening in brum
Lauren: mm
Me: there was one time i might have been mugged tho – but i was really drunk and can hardly remember it!
Lauren: :(
Lauren: are you serious paul?! bloody hell
Me: i was walking back to campus bout 2am on my own, n on broad st i remember telling some guy that i wasn’t scared of him!
Me: then his girl said something like ‘you should be’, n i was scared he had a knife so i walked off quickly
Lauren: omg
Lauren: :-O
Lauren: you taking the piss?!1
Lauren: shit
Me: i got back ok but during the walk back i was scared
Lauren: mm, i bet
Me: i discovered i had a cut on my finger the next day, but i don’t know if that was from falling into bushes or something!
Lauren: hm
Me: and my wallet was empty of notes, and i’d had like £60 at the start of the night, but i suppose i could have spent it all on drinks! but im not sure
Lauren: clean ccut?
Lauren: oh hell
Me: just a small one, i don’t think he cut me, but i still dont know where it was from
Me: after that ive been more wary of being in brum at night
Lauren: mm
Lauren: more than 4 I’d say
Lauren: pl
Lauren: ppl*
Me: sorry?
Lauren: more than 4 ppl or you aren’t safe
Me: yeh well u cud still get into a fight with another group of people
Lauren: mm
Me: the worst night out ive had though i thought i seriously thought i was going to die!
Me: too many thoughts there
Lauren: that was when the guy with the knife was about, yeah?
Me: no this was a different night
Me: i was reeeeeeeally drunk and left the club alone and without my coat, and i ended up walking for about 3 hours – in the snow – looking for the campus!
Me: and i had walked somewhere else entirely, and i just couldn’t find anywhere familiar
Lauren: oh god
Me: n i remember giving up, and i tried opening doors of some places but they were locked, so i sat in a corner and tried to get warm
Lauren: oh dear god
Me: it was snowing so it must have been about -5 degrees celcius
Lauren: why the hell didn’t you call a taxi?!
Me: i was drunk so i wasn’t thinking right
Me: didnt have any taxis phone numbers anyway
Me: i think i thought about calling my parents but i was afraid theyd be ashamed of me
Lauren: o god
Me: in the end i came across someone – i hadn’t seen anyone else in ages – and it turned out to be a prostitute! i asked her where i was and she dialled me a taxi on my phone
Me: she even offered to ‘warm me up’ but i said i just wanted to get back to my flat
Lauren: rofl
Me: and when i got back i was really happy
Lauren: lol, I bet! ha haq
Me: i had really thought that i was going to die…
Lauren: mm
Me: freeze to death or something
Lauren: uh huh
