Rebel Ink Turns Three! #happybirthday #summerlovin' #bloghop #giveaway

8/14/2013

Summer has so many wonderful memories for me. With Amherst, Ohio being such a small town, we often knew everyone. My very first crush was a boy that I grew up with. Literally, there are photos of him and I in diapers in a sandbox. One particular summer memory is what I want to share.

Getting around at fourteen meant by bike. I already had been "going out" with TJ. He was such a sweetie. Kind hearted and good looking with blonde hair and dark chocolate eyes. One night, I was spending the night at a girlfriend's house for her birthday party. Michelle had approximately 7 girls over. Many like me were ones she went to school with but one girl was a friend from gymnastics. We hopped on our bikes and rode around town. Funny how we happened to run into TJ. His charm had won my heart but also that night the heart of the girl from Michelle's party. <grrrrr>. She didn't understand that he and I were an item, nor did she care. Michelle and I devised a horrible plan for when that girl slept that night. We took her bra off, got it wet and put it in the freezer.

I couldn't believe how far I would go to keep a guy. Funny thing...TJ and I did break up about a year later. He didn't like that I wouldn't put out. So please leave a comment below about one of the silliest things you did to win or keep your love. One random commenter will win a $5 gift card to Amazon or B&N. Good Luck!

There has never been a guy that I wanted to keep that bad, until my fiance I have now. I figure if he does not want to be with me, and has the hots for someone else, let his ass go! lol kbinmich@yahoo.com

god too many embarrassing tales to admit to... i do recall one summer where i just kept pushing blaine off the pier into the lake to get his attention. the time he was fully dressed and wearing his watch was the most memorable. (female substitution for dipping pigtails in ink wells?) and he must've either been interested or stupid as he kept letting me get him... :)

See Nora..that's what I'm talking about. He was probably wanting the attention!

I was always involved in competitive gymnastics all through school, so I never really got too crazy over guys.....I worked out with guys and in some cases was on the same team as guys, so I had a LOT of guy friends.

Thanks for the amazing giveaway!
