eregyrnSo, I was going to do the "20 Celebrities You Would Actually Sleep With" meme, until I realized that I could only come up with, like, 5. No, seriously. (Actually, I just thought of 2 more, and that's because in previous attempts to think of answers, I forgot about hockey... just like everybody else is going to because of the stupid cancelled NHL season grrrrrrr.) ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
raqs says I need to be less picky. I don't know if it's pickiness, per se; it's just that I have this disconnect between being able to admire people in an aesthetic way, and actually being able to step over a certain line. So anyway, that was clearly useless, therefore I decided to do the "10 Things I've Done That You Might Not Have" meme instead.
This meme is kind of good for me, because as my nearest and dearest will attest, I don't have the greatest memory in the world. Anything that makes me think hard to remember things is good. And this was hard, as there are people on my flist who've been my friends now for going on 20 years (eeek), and we've done an awful lot of things together, one way and another, and that leaves out a bunch of possible stuff ("...no, can't say that,raqs was there.... no, that won't work, chelidon was there... rats....").
1. Been stupid enough to climb the north face of the Acropolis of Sardis all by myself (and almost kill myself in the process).
2. Sat with a live shark in my lap.
3. Broken my elbow within microseconds of even just standing up on rollerblades for the first time.
4. Had Isaac Asimov make up a dirty limerick for me in exchange for a kiss.
5. Dressed up as a unicorn.
6. Had pictures of penises strewn around my room when the fire-department had to come in, for a paying art commission (the guy was really, REALLY picky about how the penises should look).
7. Spoken to Hugh O'Brian ("The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp", etc.) on the phone.
8. Been called "deadly", as a compliment.
9. Painted a dragon on the bottom of an in-ground swimming pool.
10. Had three total blood transfusions (before the age of 1 month).
