Already with the surveys.

[constance]

Usually I'm paralyzed because either I can't think of anything to say, or because I think no one has any interest in what I have to say. But tonight, I'm paralyzed because I have so much to say and I don't know where to start.

So I think I'll just do a survey instead.

Courtesy of laurelwood, Ten Things I've Done That I Bet You Haven't, and this was actually easier than I thought:

01. crashed a motorbike;

02. had a nighttime picnic on the front steps of St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans;

03. pretended I lived in a gigantic rabbit pellet, painted red;

04. dressed as catnip for halloween;

05. put makeup on while sitting under a pontoon boat;

06. had a party where all food and drink were blue;

07. pulled a screaming toddler out from under a fallen television set;

08. stuck a pea up my nose;

09. performed a running walkover roundoff back handspring and lived to tell the tale; and

10. eaten greens blessed by a voodoo priestess.

Some of those things terrify me, Cammy. :| You crashed a motorbike; how scary! But, mostly the pea in the nose. That's a little traumatic.


I am most impressed by number nine. Crikey. I used to be able to do one-handed back bends, but I am not that flexible anymore.

Fortunately, I have no memory of the Pea in the Nose Incident because I was only two years old when it happened. A family Thanksgiving, so this is a family legend. (Part two is that after they brought me home from the emergency room, where they had to knock me out to get the thing out, I promptly stuck a piece of celery up my nose, though luckily they were able to get that one out themselves.)

The motorbike crash isn't quite as scary as it sounds, since I was only going about 15 miles an hour when I crashed. But believe me, it is plenty bad enough. And there is a second part to this one, but since it involves drills and spurting blood, I won't share.

And no way on earth could I do any one of those tumbles any more, much less all of them strung together! No way, no way.
