Blame my sister

chuckroOkay, so my sister (hutubachick) posted one of the giant "In Your Life, Have You..." lists, bolding everything she's done. I think I'll just cut out everything I haven't and randomly comment where appropriate, as that's more my style.
And by request, let's see if this LJ-cut thing works...
03. Climbed a mountain
I've hiked up a mountain with the Boy Scouts, but I doubt that's what they're going for here.
06. Held a tarantula
Had the opportunity in 6th grade, and turned it down with dignity. (That is, I wanted to scream like a girl, but didn't.)
08. Said 'I love you' and meant it
09. Hugged a tree (haha… tree hugger)
10. Done a striptease
Out of respect for everyone who reads this, no stories.
14. Stayed up all night long, and watch the sun rise
Missed the sunrise--was too busy roleplaying.
16. Gone to a huge sports game - football, baseball, hockey, etc.
18. Grown and eaten your own vegetables
20. Slept under the stars
26. Looked up at the night sky through a telescope
28. Had a food fight
30. Taken a sick day when you're not ill
For the record, the sick days I took from MedAbiliti were occasionally because the job made me ill.
31. Asked out a stranger
32. Had a snowball fight
34. Screamed as loudly as you possibly can
35. Held a lamb
36. Enacted a favorite fantasy
38. Taken an ice cold bath
This is not so fun, thanks.
41. Ridden a roller coaster
44. Danced like a fool and not cared who was looking
45. Adopted an accent for an entire day
46. Visited the birthplace of your ancestors
47. Actually felt happy about your life, even for just a moment
48. Had two hard drives for your computer
50. Loved your job
51. Taken care of someone who was shit faced
52. Had enough money to be truly satisfied
That one's easy when you're ten. It's harder to have "enough" money when you actully need to buy things.
53. Had amazing friends
56. Stolen a sign
58. Taken a road-trip
61. Midnight walk on the beach
63. Visited Ireland
64. Been heartbroken longer then you were actually in love
69. Alphabetized your records
Records? Okay, in what decade was this list written?
70. Pretended to be a superhero
That was my childhood in a nutshell. Was I the only one who went to kindergarden with my Superman cape tucked under my shirt?
71. Sung karaoke
72. Lounged around in bed all day
76. Kissed in the rain
77. Played in the mud
78. Played in the rain
80. Done something you should regret, but don't regret it.
85. Fallen in love and not had your heart broken
Here's hoping...
86. Toured ancient sites
89. Played D&D for more than 6 hours straight
Yeah, after the RPG-til-dawn comment above, I think everyone should have seen that coming.
91. Been in a movie (Me and Paco)
Does "The Chinaman" count? (Though I have actually been on TV multiple times.)
92. Crashed a party
93. Loved someone you shouldn't have
94. Kissed someone so passionately it made them dizzy
98. Made cookies from scratch
102. Found that the texture of some materials can turn you on
109. Performed on stage
111. Recorded music
112. Eaten shark
I actually ate shark during the aforementioned trip to Ireland. It was the same night my sister had speckled rice with all the speckles picked out.
113. Had a one-night stand
Well, it was intended that way, and then there were multiple nights. Some of my dating history has been a little odd.
120. Been on a cruise ship
124. Performed in Rocky Horror
125. Read - and understood - your credit report
127. Recently bought and played with a favorite childhood toy
131. Found out something significant that your ancestors did
135. Walked the Golden Gate Bridge
No, but I have walked the Williamsburg bridge--during the blackout last year.
136. Sang loudly in the car, and didn't stop when you knew someone was looking
140. Wrote articles for a large publication
145. Broken someone's heart
147. Been fired or laid off from a job
148. Won money on a T.V. game show
155. Fired a rifle, shotgun, or pistol
157. Ridden a horse
158. Had major surgery
163. Slept for more than 30 hours over the course of 48 hours
Thank you, codiene.
170. Eaten sushi
171. Had your picture in the newspaper
173. Changed someone's mind about something you care deeply about
180. Read The Iliad
184. Taught yourself an art from scratch
199. Written your own role playing game
I wonder if there's anyone who reads this who'd actually remember my DEO system.
74 out of 200. Not too shabby for a 23-year-old.
