Borrowed from
mikigarrison, and a host of others, because, well, it's kind of a fun and short one.
* Post 3 things you've done that you don't think anybody else on your friends list has done.
* See if anybody responds with "I've done that." If they have- add another!(2.b., 2.c., etc...)
* Encourage your friends to paste this into their own journal to see what unique things they've done.
- Been stopped with my family by the Spanish military just that side of the French border because my dad took a picture of some pretty mountains. Which turned out to have a military installation on them. They did not take Dad's camera away, but it was a near thing. I guess my dad didn't make a credible spy. Perhaps the bored, sleepy, whiny children in the backseat of the crammed-full tiny Toyota convinced them, along with Dad's non-existent Spanish. It's possible he asked them where the toilet was, as an explanation.
- Sailed over the Tasman sea. Well, chugged over, in a giant floating city. But it was still gorgeous.
- Accidentally lit myself on fire, and ended up with a black eye but not at all burned. It's a long story.
Other things that others may or may not have done, but I think are cool (and less indicative of my clumsiness):
-Lived in 2 countries other than the US, visited 12 others, and lived in 4 States (5 if you count Nebraska, which was for only a few months).
-Played Cleo the Goldfish in a ballet production of "Pinocchio" when I was 10. Unfortunately was forced to wear ugliest costume ever.
-Sang Mimi's aria from "La Boheme" for a final grade in voice class in college, and did really, really well, surprising myself most of all. Still have that recording somewhere....
