Having an Evil Twin, I pretty much grew up fighting with him. Man we used to go at it something fierce. Most of the time it ended up a draw as we both got exhausted and gave up.
I was always being bullied by my twin brother when I was young. As I started getting older I started putting up with less and less, which meant that we would fight more and more (I was his bitch until I was like 12). I remember when I broke a broom over his head. I remember when he pelted me with rocks. I remember our last fight, in the confines of the back seat of a minivan, where I beat him over the head with his own walkman (which he had been listening to at the time and, in theory, during, until his hearing and his walkman were rendered inoperable. RIP walkman.). He started that one though. We were maybe 14. We didn't really get in many fights after that.
Ah, childhood.
Got in a few fights with strangers as a kid, not many though, and nothing compared to the battle royales that me and Matt had.
In my adult life I've only been in two fights, both oddly enough in the same bar in Des Moines that I frequented when I was 19 and doing a lot of drugs. The first one was with a friend of mine who was just way out of control (tequila does mean things to people). Don't even remember how that one started, just that at one point he was swinging at me and I was trying to talk him down ("you're drunk, man. Just chill out, I'll take ya home.") He ended up connecting with a good one though on my jaw and I sort of barrelled into him (tackled basically, though we didn't both do the football thing where we land crisply, we sort of both quickstepped backwards through tables and people and then landed on the nasty ass floor of the bar). He tried to get up and I got behind him and started choking him, talking ot him in his ear about how he needs to calm down etc etc. He finally gave up when he started turning purple and I let him go. He bought me a case of beer for that the next day, he felt so bad.
Same bar, some other guy, don't even know who he was. Sort of the same scenario really, except we both started swining at about the same time. After a few moments of that (I'm a small guy, he was giving a lot more than he was getting) I sort of said "fuck that" and shot for his knees. Took him down hard, he smacked his head on the little elevated thing that you rest your feet on when you're sitting at the bar, started getting REALLY fucking mad so I got behind him and did the same thing. This time though, he was clawing my eyes and banging his head against me and shit. So I put it on tighter and started telling him to cool it etc and he just kept fighting and sputtering. He tried to get to his feet a few times without much success. Finally his activity started to diminish but he kept saying shit about how he was going to kill me so I didn't let go. Then he went limp. Scared the holy shit out of me, I've never choked a guy unconscious before and my first impulse when all of a sudden the body in my arms went dead limp was "HOLY SHIT HE'S DEAD!" Immediatly let go and stood up with an "aw shit" look on my face, and three guys immediatly grabbed me and held me back like I was going to start kicking him while he was down or something. I kept saying "Holy shit, I'm sorry, is he okay?"
He was fine, his buddies got him to come to pretty fast, he was sort of dazed and they all just helped him out the door and I stayed and finished out the night, totally fucking edgy and creeped out. Gave me a wicked black eye and my shoulder and nose were in agony the next day, but mostly I just remember that really sick feeling in my stomach when the guy suddenly went limp (it's a really, really weird feeling, when you're holding a struggling guy and all of a sudden he just STOPS and becomes dead weight). *shudders*
In Des Moine I got in more than a few sketchy situations but I don't really have a temper to speak of, would get my ass kicked regularly if I did, I'm a little guy) and I talked my way out of most of them, save those two. Since Des Moines, haven't really been in many situations. If it looks like it's going that way, I'll just leave.
