We've all had nights where we party a little too hard...one too many shots, one too many bong rips...And can wake wake up the next day in the last place you might have expected. For me personally, I woke up in my friend's fireplace in his basement. The last memories of the night before was having a roman candle war at 3 A.M. in a nearby park after a (fantastic) Pearl Jam concert. Anyway, share your experiences here. -------------  |

not really a place, but a situation... the morning after my 21st birthday: In my own bed (thank God), pants around my ankles, shoes on, and a line of toilet paper stretching from my clenched fist out the door, down the hall, still connected to the roll in the bathroom. ------------- http://www.myspace.com/altaic" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/altaic ALTAIC "Oceans Down You'll Lie" coming soon |

on the sidewalk in disneyland on a busy sunday. I wasn't passed out because of alcohol or drugs, I was just really tired and lied down and went to sleep. ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

In a bean bag, after a disguise party, hugging and with my hands placed around the breasts of a girl that was somekind of "conceptual nemesis" (we were in the same class in art school, we always fought about the way to aproach painting). I really think I had too much wine that night...
On the same "too much wine" track, I once woke up in a bus, having pass the stop of my house by like 10 blocks. Then, I woke up in a taxi, with an "empanada" (kind of a bread, filled with meat, onion, olive and egg), in the opposite direction (going back home). I was pretty far away, in fact it was another city, like 30 minutes away. I don't remember getting off the bus or buying the empanada, also, the moment in wich I get on the taxi. One day, I went totally drunk from a party to the "Graphic expresion class". I curled up bellow somekind of furniture from wich we use to hang the works of the class. I stole the little mattress that was used for the model. The paper covered me completely, and I slept the whole afternoon (I thought I could catch some sleep, like 30 minutes, before the starting of the class). All day, the teacher was talking about how miserable and decadent it was to steal that mattress. I woke up and came out from that mountain of drawings, and I got a severe punishment. ------------- ˇBeware of the Bee! |

The first party I went to when I was 16, got absolutely hammered and
woke up on the floor in a bathroom. Unfortunately, I was awakened
by a cop's flashlight.

| Not that odd a place I know, but I woke up on the floor of the pub the morning after my stag night. I'd passed out at some point during the evening (after being carried round the pub naked) and my mates just left me there and carried on drinking. Even worse, the photos of the aforementioned carry around the pub were produced at the wedding reception the following week. |

I once woke up stuck to the pavement in the middle of an housing estate after passing out on my home from a party. I was lucky to be alive as it was mid-winter and the side of my face had actually frozen onto the pavement. I had a ridiculous red patch on my face for a few weeks...

Great thread The only really weird place where I have woken up is in the stairs in my grandmother's house. What is odd about this is that I don't remember at all why I was in the stairs and that I wasn't drunk or high. To this day, I have never found why I was there sleeping in the staircase.  -------------

The night I graduated from high school after a party date with my girlfriend.
I woke up in the back seat of my brother's car, covered from head to foot with paper napkins, my pants and my girlfriend missing, the entire left side of the car crushed in, and 200 miles on the odometer that I couldn't account for. And yes, there were stimulants involved.
 Oh yeah, and the car was parked in the middle of a corn field.
Fortunately that was 26 years ago and I'm feeling much better now.

I went to a new years eve bash at a friends place who lived just across the road from where I lived. From about midnight onwards, things seem to disappear from memory, but in the morning, instead of crossing a street and landing in my own bed, I had walked half a kilometre to a park, and slept ontop of a childrens fort. I was awoken at about 7am by a neighbour who hosed me from his garden.
I didnt drink for 8 months after that. (mind you, that was about 10 yrs ago). I still get 'heaps' for that.

i miss alot of waking up in mysteriously strange places because i don't drink and when i do, i usually fall asleep before i get so intoxicated that i would do something that would cause me to wake up in the middle of a corn field with panties on my head and painted from head to foot with orange paint or something like that -------------

No real funny moments for me..... I think the oddest place I have woken up was Birmingham......I did that often.......about 10 yrs ago I was working in London, catching the 5.30am train from Hemel Hempstead, by the time I was on the 7pm train home I often fell asleep............and often missed my stop and woke up at the end of the line in Birmingham.......
Other than that, growing up on the coast it was normal practice in my teens to wake up in a sand dune............ These days I like my duvet too much! ...............although a couple of new years eve's ago I ended up sleeping in a drum studio............which wasn't the best nights sleep ever! |

Kitchen.
Seated at the table, moments after finishing an omelette, and in the middle of a conversation with my mum (that I wasn't able to finish, given the circumstances). A week-day and late, about 9 am, I rushed to call at work to get the day off for me and the colleague I had drinked with the night before - he had gone to sleep early and made me promise I'd excuse him from work too. They were giggling on the phone, but I thought they'd figured the drinking night and that was that. Next I called my colleague to tell him I'd made the call to the office; he was a bit nervous, but I thought because I woke him up. The next day I was told I had actually called twice at work (hence the giggling) and twice at my friend's (hence the will-you-let-me-sleep). A used bus ticket in my pocket suggested part of the way home was made by bus. Seems I had come home, called the office, called my friend, had mum make me an omellete, ate that while speaking to her - than "woke" up in the kitchen, sitting in front of the empty plate, called work etc. Before that, I remember leaving a pub and heading home, broad daylight with people on the street - some 7:30 I guess. In the next days I managed to squeeze a slight memory of letting go of a loud beer-inspired "power-chord" on some street midway home, so loud that it drew the attention of people on the opposite sidewalk - which made me laugh loudly, I only remember laughing and the reason, but not the event itself. About an hour of my life totally erased from memory. I never slept the whole while, but I still find this story on-topic somehow :) ------------- This sentence have three erors |

I never woke up in an odd place after parties or trips, besides bus-stops, but when I was about 10 I went to bed and woke up in the bathroom on my knees, my hands folded and my head down like I was praying and my pillow was laying in the washing basin thingy before me.
I think I just walked there in my sleep but it was pretty odd to wake up like that -------------

it never happened to me; however I remember being on a party where someone was so drunk that he didn't realize what was going on; they stripped down his pants and underpants and tied a ribbon with a neat bow around his penis. I didn't witness his moment of waking up, but I surely would have liked to

According to Gurdjieff: By making frequent efforts to activate our attention in small things, such as walking, speaking or sitting etc., people can gradually wish to become more aware of themselves as living beings through the development of their attention instead of spending their lives asleep in dreams. Most of us spend most of our lives sleeping.
