Ten things...

[futabachan]

Just because all the cool people are doing it, here are ten things that I've done that you probably haven't:

1. Founded a religious order.
2. Invented a programming language.
3. Built a boat from scratch.
4. Gone to Chautauqua every single year of my life.
5. Been a bridesmaid, a groomsman, a wedding officiant, a groom, and am in line to be a bride.
6. Hosted a radio show.
7. Chained myself to the White House fence to protest the nuclear arms race.
8. Founded a national civil rights group.
9. Emigrated to another country.
10. Stood watch at the helm of a 700 ton cruise ship.

(Changing sex and earning a black belt left out because plenty of other folks have done both. Likewise writing award-winning software.)
Update: (because my friends kick even more ass than I suspected)

1. Crossed the Atlantic by ocean liner, when ocean liners were still a serious means of getting back and forth.
2. Commissioned a luxury yacht from a famous designer.
3. Won the Deerfield debate.
4. Designed an operating system.
