It's memeing again...

 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.

  1. 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.
  2. Sailed over the Tasman sea. Well, chugged over, in a giant floating city. But it was still gorgeous.
  3. 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....

life stuff, memes, fun
