Forum: The Classroom Topic: place to hide.... started by: LiNeY Posted by LiNeY on Nov. 10 2001,15:38
Today it occurred that my mom needed something night-table-like to put somewhere downstairs in the house. She came to get that little thingie I have my printer on. GRRRR. But okay, the family gives, the family takes... just, the alternative she offered was too unstable for the printer to not be likely to crash down sooner or later. So, mom and I are looking for some other possibility to solve the problem. Suddenly, she says "why don't we take YOUR night-table!" and starts going towards it, already reaching out her hands saying "I'm sure you could put your stuff elsewhere! What all are you keeping in there?" By the time I grasped the situation fully, she was already halfway around the bed. Now, the thing is that I have some stuff in my night-table drawers which I keep there for a purpose, this purpose being that they are of no concern to anybody but me, and especially not to my mom! All I could do was jump onto the bed and stammer some hasty "oh, no, I have, like, all my body lotions in there, and, uh, my books and my... well, my knitting stuff... and anyway my socks are in there and all sorts of stuff so I really really need to keep that night-table!" My mom looked a bit puzzled, but thank God didn't open the drawers... we finally took my sister's night-table (no, nothing except old socks in there). This made me realize that maybe my night-table is not the best place to keep and hide personal stuff. I've come back from a trip recently and found out that my mom had packed some of my things into it (but obviously not realizing what was in there). You guys have any idea where in my room I can safely keep personal belongings? I don't want to go with the classical "panty drawer" thing. Oh and before you ask: no need for you to know what exactly my "personal belongings" are. ------------------ Posted by L33T_h4x0r_d00d on Nov. 10 2001,15:45
Is your bed on a frame? And if it is can you see under it? Most box springs can have a small hole cut in the undercovering and have "personal" items placed in them. If the items are flat its not too hard to make a false bottom for a drawer. And if worst comes to worst and you have to a computer case works well as long as its not the family computer. I used to keep a 12 pack of corona in mine.------------------ Posted by StreetRaver on Nov. 10 2001,15:45
I think we can use our imagination and figure out what was in there. If i were you i'd probly keep them under the bed or in a wooded box with a latch lock on it so you can keep them locked up and keep them out in the open but not have to worry about anyone getting to them.Heh, lucky girl your mom didnt get to them.------------------ Posted by LiNeY on Nov. 10 2001,15:50

we're a bunch of sick fucks, the lot of us. honestly, I'd buy something that can be secured with a lock and is heavy enough that it cant easily be broken open, a wooden trunk, a lock box or a foot locker all come to mind. edit: speeling is teh win This message has been edited by veistran on November 11, 2001 at 01:41 PM Posted by LiNeY on Nov. 10 2001,18:38
Does it matter that much what is in there? Imagine what would happen if my mom browsed these forums... Anyway, tell me where to hide stuff! ------------------ Posted by Wolfguard on Nov. 10 2001,18:45
Best hiding places in a bed room...Hmmm Back of a desk drawer. There is always room behind them to stash stuff. In the box spring is good. Boots in your closet work too. In plain site is fun if its big enough. Had a friend who made a bong into a lamp. Dont know if what you need to hide is that big... ------------------ Posted by peregrin on Nov. 10 2001,18:48
how big are these items? really small? book sized? perhaps longer, and abnormally shaped? all of these things make a difference. if you were really ambitious, you could hollow out the bottom of a big platform shoe. then glue it shut again. or, you might look into stereo speakers. there's always extra room inside those boxes. hollow out a book. get creative. ------------------ Posted by Vigilante on Nov. 10 2001,18:59

The Dildo of Doom - still in the process of assembly?! I have lived away from my family for the past 10 years (yea since I started HS) so haven't had to deal with anything to the same gravity ... hm cut out a fake wall? a hole in the wall in the closet!

I once made some amplifiers in woodwork class... big case with only the speakers and some wiring in there...lots of free space. Used to stash some stuff in there Home-made radios also good. There's always the empty glue stick for secret notes Posted by chmod on Nov. 10 2001,21:36
Old book with the center of the pages hollowed out. Effective, but takes patience to make.

yeah, like in the Shawshank Redemption!but are you hiding a rock hammer? Posted by Observer on Nov. 11 2001,00:46
In such a situation, you also must take into consideration how quickly and easily it can be stowed into the hiding place. In such a case, I would recommend in the boxspring.Though having a lock on the door eliminates a lot of that need. Something I sure wish I had when I lived at home. Hell, I just wished I had a door, and four complete walls for my room. ------------------ Posted by MattimeoZ80 on Nov. 11 2001,05:39

... I think he's saying you had dildo's in there. Which, to my understanding, most girls do. Then again, "to my understanding" also means the Big Blue Room is where most people spend their days, but I just don't believe that------------------ Posted by Rshias on Nov. 11 2001,10:11
Whips, chains, handcuffs... The easiest thing to do is just get a lock-box big enough to hold these "personal items" and store it under your bed, or somewhere nearby. It then has mobility, and security. There's really no need to go full out stealth mode when a simple lock and key works just fine. ------------------ Posted by kuru on Nov. 11 2001,11:28
I keep my sex toys in the cabinet under the VCR, inside a computer box.I keep the videos in a crate next to it. I don't know what my mother thinks of it, I just know she's too damn afraid of computers to touch those boxes. ------------------ Posted by L33T_h4x0r_d00d on Nov. 11 2001,11:30

I agree w/Observer. Having your own place is nice. Look forward to it. I leave what ever, where ever. Toys on the bathroom counter, videos in the vcr, whatever. It's nice. I used to have to hide shit when I lived at home also but I don't remember where I used to keep everything for some reason. I did have an antique school desk for a night stand (ironic yes) which had no drawers and since the top stayed closed and covered in stuff, no one bothered it. The good thing was that it had a hole in the top for an ink well to sit which was perfect for sticking a flashlight down in when I wasn't busy fishing my stash in or out. (Stash, not snatch for anyone who thinks they might like to get funny.)

I actually mounted a small box on my comp's case (which is in a cabinet that no one really touches and since the comps in my room, i use it) where i tend to stash things.

I'd screw him in return for living there rent free.I suppose the more the rent and the nicer the place, the more I'd have to put out... something like a 'fair pay for services rendered' contract... And it'd have to be a purely business only deal, since it's not good to mix business with pleasure.... Unless he's really hot, and then it would be .... a lot like having a relationship. OH HELL. I might as well just get my own place and pay the rent. Then again maybe there is a total hottie out there living in Alaska who wants a geeky sexy chick to bang his brains out daily and rewire his house for fiber optic... ------------------ Posted by L33T_h4x0r_d00d on Nov. 12 2001,14:34

I always hid shit under the bottom drawer in a dresser. I remember when I moved out and my parents found all my old pr0n and shit ...damn that was funny. I had one book called the Clitoral Kiss ...that was a good book. I was pissed they threw that out. And they threw out my videos, ones I had edited together from other videos so they only had the scenes I liked. Fucking parents ...no respect for smutt.

You know guys... this may seem a little silly, but she may have CHANGED HER PHILOSOPHY... You never know... or maybe she got abducted by space aliens or something, or she said it as a joke, or maybe she just said it to confuse you. In any case... she shouldn't HAVE to explain herself.

There are a lot of things I'd do to get away from living with a person who calls me a 'worthless, lazy, good for nothing, ambitionless piece of shit' on a daily basis.At this point in time, being someone's personal whore doesn't seem nearly as bad as what I have to put up with here. The rent isn't really "free", I pay for it in the mental abuse shoved on me constantly. Happy, Observer? I answered your question. Yes, I'd sacrifice my pride and be a whore if it meant I wasn't abused. You wanted a public answer. ------------------ Posted by Observer on Nov. 13 2001,20:30
Fair enough. I had thought you were comparing it to living on your own, not living at home. Issue resolved.------------------ Posted by Observer on Nov. 14 2001,05:26
I was actually hoping kuru would explain herself since she made both those posts. I'm sure there's a simple explanation that I'm just missing.Posted in public, answered in public. And no, I don't have a sudden urge to join the USMC. ------------------ Posted by kuru on Nov. 15 2001,01:50
No big deal, since I could've been more clear.We've had many discussions about why my parents' house isn't my home... something about that hostility thing.. Anyway, I want my own apartment again. After I get a car, a new computer, and another gun.
