Have you ever?

I have about half a dozen "tag, you're it" style posts drafted that I've been meaning to finish but just haven't had the energy for. As my mind is a bit fried from all the thought I've been putting into the new/old job this week, here's a simple little list I found on Miss Macy's lovely blog a couple weeks ago.

So have you ever...

(x) snuck out of the house - was challenging in high school, I had hurricane shutters on my bedroom windows!
(x) gotten lost in your city - I'm pretty bad with directions
(x) seen a shooting star
(x) been to any other countries besides the united states - Mexico, see below
( ) had a serious surgery
(x) gone out in public in your pajamas - almost every weekend - why get dressed up to go to WalMart?
(x) kissed a stranger
(x) hugged a stranger
( ) been in a fist fight - although I always thought it would be a cool thing to add to my resume!
( ) been arrested - but I was pulled over for DWI around 1am when I was 19 - the cop let me park the car and call a friend for a ride - I think I cried about how I'd never get into law school with a record (was true at the time - I really did want to go to law school!) - LUCKY!
( ) laughed and had milk/coke come out of your nose
(x) pushed all the buttons on an elevator
( ) swore at your parents - never to their faces, but I did call my teacher Ms. Dilmore "Ms. Dildo" once in front of them in 3rd grade - they were not pleased - but hey, what kind of 3rd grader knows what a dildo is?!
(x) been in love
( ) been close to love
(x) been to a casino - we used to go to Inn of the Mountain Gods in Ruidoso a lot, but they ditched the $2 and $5 tables - minimum $10 now and I'm not THAT good at black jack!
( ) been skydiving - but I'd like to - I'm terrified, but I wanna do it eventually
(x) skinny-dipped - argh, several times at our old apt ... with other people - we were NUTS!
(x) skipped school - it's a miracle I made it through undergrad
(x) seen a therapist - went for a while when I was in a really crappy relationship several years ago - my internship supervisor is recommending I start up again - she says I can't be a good counselor until I've spent some time on the couch!
(x) done the splits - lots - was in dance team all through high school
(x) played spin the bottle - yes but hated it - I was more about the non-contact group drinking card games
(x) gotten stitches - last time in my lower lip when I fell on a concrete bench - ouch
( ) drank a whole gallon of milk in one hour - uh, why?!
( ) bitten someone - but I DID talk to an offender this week who is getting charged for assault for biting his mom on the face!
( ) been to Niagara Falls
(x) gotten the chicken pox - don't remember the itching but I'll never forget the smell of that yucky pink lotion
(x) kissed a member of the opposite sex - yeah, glad no one is asking for a number here
( ) crashed into a friend's car - no, but have hit quite a few stranger's cars!
( ) been to Japan
(x) ridden in a taxi
(x) been dumped - Daniel S, you heart breaker!
(x) shoplifted - okay, only 1 person in the world knows this: in undergrad I stole a can of bean dip - I'm so morified ((Will, I think we passed the statute of limitations on this one!))
( ) been fired - can you hear me knocking on wood?
( ) had a crush on someone of the same sex
(x) had feelings for someone who didn't have them back
( ) gone on a blind date
(x) lied to a friend - sometimes it seems kinder to save people's feelings
(x) had a crush on a teacher - Coach Plott, you were sooo hot in those coach-shorts!
( ) celebrated Mardi-Gras in new Orleans
( ) been to Europe
(x) slept with a co-worker - did ya know TBF and I met at work? I was his supervisor!
( ) been married - 11 months away...
( ) gotten divorced
( ) had children - about 2 1/2 years away???
( ) seen someone die
(x) had a close friend die - my cousin committed suicide when I was in 5th grade
( ) been to Africa
(x) driven over 400 miles in one day - I dated a guy that lived in Corpus for quite a while - I was stupid enough to drive down there (550 miles!) a couple times a month - ugh!
( ) been to Canada
(x) been to Mexico - been to Matamoros, on the border across from Brownsville
(x) been on a plane
(x) seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show
(x) thrown up in a bar - oh god, I'm embarrassed that I can't count the number of times this has happened
( ) purposely set a part of myself on fire - WTF?!
(x) eaten sushi
( ) been skiing/snowboarding - I've been innertubing at Ski Apache though
( ) met someone in person from the internet
( ) lost a child
(x) gone to college - for.about.t.w.e.l.v.e.years
(x) graduated college - finally! Got another one coming up in December!
(x) fired a gun - TBF has a shotgun - we both want to get .22s one of these days
( ) purposely hurt yourself
(x) taken painkillers

Yikes, this turned out hugely long since I went back and added some details to make it all a little more interesting. Adios amigos!
