dragonlady7When I first saw this I thought, hey, I should be able to come up with some nifty things.
Then I thought it over and couldn't. Then I read some of the other answers out there and was like.... holy crap, a) y'all are cool, and b) my life has been pretty lame.
So I think I've managed to scrape out 10 things I've done, but I'm both reaching to make my adventures sound cooler than they were, and scraping to find mundane but unique experiences.
1) walked 8 miles to see Mycenae. Was weary, sunburnt, and my friend was having an asthma attack, as the teacher had lied to us about the distance so we wouldn't whinge, but seeing the Lion Gate over the crest of the hill was just so cool. Greece is cool.
2) had a shoe nailed to my foot.
3) was threatened with death by a fugitive from justice that the police had caught, when I was 2. (I annoyed him.)
4) made friends with all the bums in Killarney
5) made out on the, whatsit, that towery monument thing you can walk up in Edinburgh-- I think it's for Burns but it might be Bruce. Oh, I am senile. Anyhow, had a lengthy makeout session in one of the little windows overlooking downtown Edinburgh.
6) on a related note, had sex on the East Sands at St. Andrews, Scotland-- where they filmed the running scene with Bo Derek in "10", to "Chariots of Fire"... OK, i didn't bring a radio, but I hummed the song briefly.
7) Was involved in a foursome.
8) Wrote 1,010,000-odd words of fiction in one year.
9) loaded, fired, and later cleaned a Revolutionary War-era flintlock musket, on more than one occasion.
10) Got kicked in the head in the pit at a Green Day concert trying to keep my underage sister from being damaged. And oh, some asshole burned me with his joint. but my baby sister survived the day unconcussed. Unlike me.
In other news, my headache made me decide that I couldn't do any of my lengthy to-do list. So I took a 2-hour nap. I feel a bit better (though the nose is still annoying, it's not actually painful pressure anymore) but am thoroughly depressed at how far behind I am. It's not like I have a second day to catch up. No. You'd think I'd get used to my weekend being a day here and a day there but I can't.
Dave, the absolute sweetheart that he is, waited to have lunch until I woke from my nap. And he didn't wake me. So, he gets lovies of the non-clingy sort at some point.

>great experiences
The experiences are pretty cool, especially when carefully presented. :) The key is in the phrasing.
>getting things done
Man... Don't even know where to start.
