OT: Groovy things we’ve done

[x hannah x]

We spend so much of our lives as emets bein afraid to try new things, but I got this idea from another forum to make lists of all the cool and different things we've done/been in our lives. My list thus far (I am yet young) is:
<UL>
<LI>I've walked barefoot in the snowfor the hell of it
</LI>
<LI>I've been to Ireland, Scotland, France, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium and the USA
</LI>
<LI>I've been to Disneyworld and Euro Disney
</LI>
<LI>I've had 7 parts (Only two non speaking)inone year 6school play of Bugsy Malone(Tied up man, washer woman, talent show contestant, down and out, gangster, horse rider and - my proudest moment - a lamp)
</LI>
<LI>I've been to a wild party at a vicarage - last night actually, apparently the priest is a close friend of the birthday girls family, it felt somehow wrong to drink in what felt like a church...
</LI>
<LI>I've had the flu in Disneyland - and carried on going to the rides for the first couple of days of it
</LI>
<LI>I slept through the millenium</LI>[/list]


Please add, peoples!

OK,


I like this topic, and lgood - you are a very mad mad person (but I am envious of some of the stuff):-


1. Sang backing vocals on a charity record that made it to #38 in UK music charts


2. Got to #1 in local music charts with old band


3. Had sex on a bus, when there were other people on it (it was many years ago, and I was very young - please don't judge [img]smileys/smilies_02.gif[/img])


4. Ran 2 marathons, and a 40 mile ultramarathon (not in the same day)


5. The best and most memorable groovy thing I have ever done is watch as my son was being born (and crying like an idiot afterwards)

I would just like to add to my list what I did last night:
<UL>
<LI>Remembered a coursework deadline suddenly and wrote 17 pages 11pm - 4am</LI>[/list]

[daffodil]

Cool topic!
-Recently traveled to N.C. with my kids and hubby to visit family, and didn't have a panic attack on the plane

-Gave birth to two wonderful, beautiful, crazy-making girls (the last one was unmedicated)

-made a snow angel in my nightie (as a kid)

-read a ton of books

-reached out to people on this site (we should all be proud of ourselves for this)

*I have seen at least 500+ bands.

*In high school I used to make jewelry for musicians. Probably the most famous person who wore my jewelry was Layne Stayly from Alice in Chains. (he wore something I had made for him at a televised show at Madison Square Garden in the mid 90's, so I got to see my jewelry, on him, on t.v) That was exciting for a 16 year old girl!

*I saw Nirvana for $7 in a small club before the release of "Nevermind".

*I've seen Bad Religion everytime they played in Cleveland since 1992 (ish). (with the exception of the time they toured with Blink 182.. puke). And got to hug Greg Graffin.

*I got to see Social D in Southern California. (very cool)

*I moved away from my family when I was 17 and endured the life of a military wife.

*I gave birth to a beautiful daughter!

*I left an abusive marriage.

*I traveled by myself across the country (by plane) to spend a week in California, strictly for me time.

* While in California, I met Harry Perry and he sang for me the song that he sings to Perry Farrell in the movie "Gift" while he is also on the boardwalk at Venice Beach.

* I shrunk uterine fibroids on my own with diet and natural hormone therapy.

* Because of an anti depressant that I was on, I became borderline diabetic and have also managed to reverse that with diet and excercise.

* I have posed nude for an art class.

* I had sex on the roof of a school.

I guess those are my favorites... Kinda long, but I don't know what to remove.

Ok, mine will seem really dull but here goes.


1. Lost my shoe in the middle of a street parade whilst playing my clarinet and had to run back to collect it.


2. Had a 8lb8oz boy and a 9lb11oz boy completely natural


3. Flew to Brisbane with my family on a plane and didn't freak out


4. Signed up to become a leader at my son's Sea Scouts which entails a flying fox next month (omg)


5. Had a huge stack whilst rollerblading and being an idiot and managed to slip 2 discs in my back


6. Was offered a parliament internship (regretfully declined due to being pregnant)

[samara's on tv]

Mine aren't that great but here goes anyway


1. I've survived 2 massive head injuries (Okay maybe not MASSIVE but they were bad enough to make me pass out)


2. Did a commercial for a radio station when I was like 5 or 6


3. Met Brad Delp three years ago and and got free tickets to his concert and back stage passes(He's the lead singer in the band Boston...LoL I like old music so sue me)


4. I guess this one isn't something to be THAT proud of but I sort of am. Ihelped write a eulogy and then read it for my Aunts funeral a few years ago. I was the only one in the family who could speak without crying.


5. Did some modeling work, some nude pictures


6. Worked at a stripper for a year and made some AWESOME money


7. Survived (And still surviving) with Emetophobia for 21 years!


8. Have had gum surgery, a root canal, and EVERY TOOTH in my MOUTH filled from cavities, and my four bottom teeth in the front are fake. (This damage is due to the fact that I have acid reflux disease and it eats away at my teeth)


Other then that I have nothingelse to say!


~Monica
