Some things I've done that you probably haven't

[dianec42]

edit: Okay, some of the things have been done. Here's a couple more:

-1. Dyed my hair purple in retaliation for the then-boyfriend getting his long hair cut off.

0. Sang backing vocals on stage at a concert I paid to get into.

(When I'm more awake and can remember more HTML, I'll strike out the ones other people have done. Need caffeine...)

Okay, some things on this list were obviously shared experiences. But the people who shared them aren't on my friends list, so I feel free to claim them.

1. Sold a car without being physically present with the buyer. (Twice, actually. Once was overseas.)

2. Driven to Pennsic in a beat-up old car that we weren't sure was going to make it. Again, twice. (No, not the same car.)

3. Seen They Might Be Giants do the Apollo 18 medley live.

4. Touched Barry Andrews' arm at a Shriekback concert, and gave him such a smouldering look that he grinned and said, "Sorry, I can't right now".

5. Moved 500+ miles to a strange city with no job lined up. (Three times. (So far.))

6. Have permanent residency rights in both the US and the UK.

7. Played on stage at the Hard Rock Cafe.

8. Snuck back to the bridal shop and bought the dress *I* wanted, after Number One Bridesmaid declared she hated it.

9. Been conceived nearly 2000 miles from where I was eventually born. (Actually, lapsedagnostic is another military brat, so maybe...)

10. Have a spouse with his own entry in IMDB.

11. Bought plane tickets on September 11, 2001.

And some things that stuartc and I have done that we bet you haven't:

1. Booked a leg of the honeymoon on a different island just to get away from my parents.

2. Have our names in the credits of Quidditch World Cup.

3. Had 3 different flavours of cake at our wedding, including CHOCOLATE ORANGE!

4. Planned a wedding with absolutely no interference from either set of parents.

5. Named a cat after a role-playing character who's named after a small village in Scotland.

[hammercock.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure they did, yeah.

I've done that. I had to be absent; I didn't have the title.

I've done this (but only once.)

Whoops, missed this one. Done this twice, I suppose, if moving to Boston in 1994 counts as "strange city." If that doesn't count, well, I did move 10,000 miles to Sydney with no job lined up. :) Of course, in both cases, D did have a job lined up.
