25: what's the weirdest place you've ever broken into?Technically nowhere. I'm not really excitable about going somewhere to want in THAT badly. However. Back in... 2003-ish? My mom and I took a vacation to Prince Edward Island for a week in the summer. The whole thing was great! Red beaches, quiet cabin-esque motel, close to a tourist-y

When I was young and dumb, my friends and I broke into the local mission a few times. It's a state park so it closes at dusk, and there are rangers that patrol there. But we snuck in and walked around and we even used a Ouija board once (I think our reasoning for being there was maybe to see ghosts, since all the missions are supposedly haunted). One time we were there, one friend wanted to do a séance, but the rest of us refused, and the next few mornings, the friend who wanted to do the séance woke up with scratches all over her arms! We never got caught, though we had one close call. However, a friend of one of my cousins got caught and had to go to court and pay a $500 fine.

Is a mission just a church ground or something similar? I don't think I've ever come across one in my life. You're certainly more daring than I'd be! I wouldn't use a Ouija board on a sunny day in a playground, let alone like you did!

When the Spanish came to California, they built missions. Missions included a church, soldier barracks, gardens, areas for livestock, blacksmith, food storage, a place to make wool and weave, water storage, and many other places. Most are haunted because the Spanish make Native Americans life on the missions, practice Christianity, and kind of be slaves to the Spanish. And many Native people died from diseases the Spanish brought. I live by La Purisima Mission, which is the most intact mission in California (the missions were built in the 1700s and 1800s). Although I also live close to 3 other missions, and I have been to one near San Francisco as well.

La Purisima has this house that creeps the fuck out of me. Basically the Spanish would take young native women from their families and put them in this house and train them to be proper young women. That house just has a bad vibe, like the hospital building.

We're breaking the law, we're breaking the law! ;)

Avonlea Village sounds really interesting. :)

Avonlea Village sounds really interesting.

It was... and wasn't. I grew up watching Road to Avonlea and Anne of Green Gables so I had this idea of what things were supposed to look like. If any of the buildings in the "theme park" (for lack of a better words, I guess) were actually used in either (the show was filmed in the Toronto area and I think the movie[s] were, too, but I'm not 100% on that) they'd definitely been painted and cheered up for the general public. I was just a bit disappointed in what I found, I guess.

The whole area was for tourists so I shouldn't have been surprised, really.

That is a fun story. You got what you wanted and nobody got hurt, so I'd call your trip to the dark side a win.

Crafting is supposed to be relaxing. RELAX!

That's all true! This hardened rebel lives to commit crimes for another day!
