Another Meme

Stolen, yet again, from Michelle.

Ten things I have done that you probably have not:
  1. Accidentally flashed a crew of construction workers. (Yes, it was a complete accident!)
  2. Had a slight run-in with the Russian mafia.
  3. Had a moon-eyed skinhead attempt to woo me.
  4. Went to college that had around 400 students. Total. All women. (Well, except for that one guy but he was so-and-so's boy toy so he didn't really count.)
  5. Had my portrait painted in Moscow.
  6. Was almost crushed by a falling cinderblock. (Pretty sure it was pushed off of building. Quite sure it was intended for someone else even though it almost hit me.)
  7. Met two minor SNL alums in one night.
  8. Knew a kid-- went to my high school and had just asked out a friend the week before-- who was killed in a bizarre cult ritual.
  9. Have been on the news. (The story wasn't about me, it was about a freak accident that lead to a person's death. I was in the background while another student at my school was interviewed.)
  10. Have won two cereal contests-- Life and Captain Crunch-- and received $100 from each. (I don't like either cereal. I nagged my mom to buy them just for the contests alone-- which she swore I'd never win. I told her I'd not only win, but that'd I'd compensate her for the cereal. I love being able to say "I told you so!")
That was a lot harder than I thought it would be. It also makes me realize that my life is a lot weirder than I'd previously thought.

It's certainly more amusing and interesting than mine.

I look over that list and think that if it hadn't happened to me, I wouldn't have ever believed it. What can I say? I live in interesting times.

Okay, i see a distinct pattern forming on your meme. I have to know wether the russian mafia, the russian portrait, the cinderblock, the dead guy and the news story were linked in any way?
Heh! Doesn't it freak you the "death" appears to be the common thread!

Michelle- The Russian mafia, the portrait and the cinderblock are linked. They all happened on my trip to Russia when I was 16.

The news story was a freak car accident that happened a block away from my school when I was 7 or 8. The crossing guard was killed and several students were injured.

Heh! Remind me to invite myself on one of your holidays, they sound like a blast!!
Sad story bout the crossing guard and students :(

I echo what someone said already: everyone has been on the news. It'd be more bizarre if you hadn't been.
