Fired a Gun - Yep, but only a few. As a Boy Scout I was posed for a picture with a .22 rifle for an advertisement for the Boy Scout camp.
Been Married -
Fell in love - Yep
Been divorced -
Swam in the sea - Nope, but I got my toes wet in the Pacific.
Gone on a blind date - No, my friends weren't into torturing girls.
Skipped lessons or lectures - No. As I explained to my own classes you pay good money for those, you ought to take advantage of them while you can. I know some classes are deadly boring, but from experience it was better to go and listen regularly than waste my own free time reading dull stuff for dull classes.
Watched someone give birth -no, but I have seen a gnu being born at the zoo!
Been to North America - Live here
Been to Australia -
Been to Asia
Been to South or Central America -
Lived in more than one European country -
Been to London -
Been to Paris -
Been to Venice -
Been to Spain -
Been to Russia - Yep
Seen the Northern Lights - Yes, several times.
Been on a cruise -
Served on a jury -yes. Helped send somebody to jail. Helped talk one of the jurors out of insisting on convicting the guy on something else we really didn't have evidence of.
Been in a movie - Home movies ;o)
Been to a Scandinavian country - Denmark, Sweden and Norway.
Been to Iceland - Yes
Played in a band - No
Sang karaoke -
Made prank phone calls - No, but as I kid I giggled nearby when my big brother made one.
Laughed so much you cried - Yes, can't remember what it was about.
Caught a snowflake on your tongue -yep
Had children - Not that I know of.
Had a pet(s)- Yes, still do have one.
Been sledding on big hill -yep, my childhood yard had a big hill.
Been skiing - Nope, was going to learn when I went to graduate school, but ended up going to school in Ohio instead of the Great Northwest.
Been water skiing or parascending - I could have but my brother water skied frequently and I thought it was boring to watch. My father drove the boat and I was assigned to watch to see when my brother either fell or signaled he wanted to stop.
Rode on a motorcycle - Yes
Been to a music festival - Only classical music festivals.
Spent at least one night on an island - Nope, the islands where I lived were mosquito infested nightmares after dark. I have spent many nights next to the Mississippi river, in a well closed cabin. ETA: I have to take it all back. Copenhagen is on an Island and I've had the pleasure of spending weeks there.
Rode an elephant - I wanted to. They had elephant rides at the zoo for little kids. My mother didn't want to pay for all three of us to have a turn.
Been on TV - Yes, I was on the news. They were covering a hearing for a new highway. There was a close-in crowd shot as the reporter gave the basic story to the audience. Right in the middle of the frame, as the reporter was talking, all you could see were my bald head and my brother's giant checkered-shirt-covered stomach.
Been in newspaper - No, but my high school girlfriend was. She got very upset that they accidentally shortened her name Victoria to Victor.
Stayed in a Hospital -Not since leaving the hospital when I was born. Back then they used to keep mom and baby a few days.
Donated blood - Yes
Got a piercing -
Got a tattoo - Like Shadowkat, I don't understand the appeal. When I was young, tattoos were mostly for young, dumb, wanna-be males.
Driven an automatic vehicle - Mostly do. I can drive a stick, but I'm not a big fan.
Driven over 100 mph - No, I got up to 90 and more crossing the bleakness of Nevada which theoretically didn't have a speed limit in those days. My passengers objected, so I slowed down.
Lived on your own - a long time
Rode in the back of police car - I was interviewed in the back of the police car, and thought the officer, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was being a dick. Since I was the one who called the police, I didn't appreciate talking to the back of his head.
Rode in the back of an ambulance - In no part of an ambulance.
Got a speeding ticket - No, but I did once get a warning.
Got a parking ticket - No
Rode a horse - Yes
Swam with a Dolphin or whale -
Been in a podcast -
Appeared in Dr. Who -
Have an Equity card or equivalent -
Used an Oyster card -
Have been in a play - Nope, severe stage fright. A professor asked me to try out for the lead in a play he thought I'd be perfect for, I declined.
Have played with a monkey -
Have trained animals - Yep, and my cat is still trying to get me trained. Slow learner. ;o)
