the ten things meme

I thought about my life, trying to think of ten things no one on my friends list has done, and realized one thing: I've been way too well-behaved.

But I have:
1. worked in a Canadian pottery shop
2. talked to Adam West while sitting next to him in a TV studio, having no idea who he was and why people kept calling him 'Batman'
3. spent a day on the set of the X-Files
4. had lunch in a fancy restaurant with one of the lawyers who worked for the show
5. won a two-week trip to the Maledive Islands
6. fallen asleep during art history, feet on the table in front of me, right in front of the lecturer
7. been invited to a Lakota sun dance for several days
8. studied any of these languages for two years or longer: English, Latin, French, Polish, Russian, Japanese... and subsequently forgotten all but the English and Japanese parts
9. worked on a sailboat on the Hudson River
10. and on a farm in Colorado, hearding cows and chasing goats among other things.
(okay, at least the last one, probably not so unique but I'm grasping)

According to this list, nothing out of the ordinary ever happens where I actually live. Or is it more that it doesn't seem interesting if it's part of the daily life, and thus simply didn't come to mind when I made the list? Hmm.

Nope, not the same one then. The folks I stayed with were definitely not Amish.

I think I'm in the mood to do some baking now... :)
