For lack of something better to post tonight, I’m going to try to come up with a list of 10 things that I’ve done that you probably haven’t done:
1. Taught kids from ages 9 to 90. (my only claim to fame)
2. Got a teddy bear the week before you were born and still have it 34 years later. (sleep with it, for that matter)
3. Taken your teddy bear to Australia, New Zealand, and London.
4. Built a come-back can which was in first place throughout the entire contest – until the last minute when one person beat it. (Yeah, I’m stretching here…)
5. Flew to Australia & New Zealand to stay with people you’d never met before. (Hmmm, might have some folks who have done this too.)
6. Given friend a free CoH sample only to watch her get more than 5 levels above self within a frickin’ week!
7. Put hundreds of photos of Sylvester McCoy into binders using little photo triangles to keep them in place. (Sad, sad fangurl here.)
8. Dreamt about Colin Baker trying to seduce you (and got all oogied out cuz, geez, the guy is happily married!)
9. Took a team of physics students to the TEAMS competition and watched them come in first place. Twice.
10. Sang at a choir competition and nearly passed out between songs. (really bad flu that day – hope it hasn’t happened to anyone on my flist.)
OK, I was reaching often there. At least I didn’t resort to “watch Leo clean his butt while you typed up this entry.” 😉 (Of course, I didn’t do this, because it didn’t happen. He is, however, sitting on the desk now, looking like he owns all this shit.)
I almost had #10 happen… but it was due to overheating rather than the flu. Choir Tux + Stage Lights + Not Exactly Being a Spring Chicken = Almost passing out. But I can thankfully say i’ve never dreamt about Colin Baker attempting to seduce me… that’d just be weird. “Mr. Baker, I believe you are trying to seduce me.
Colin Baker? Hmmm, no Slyv? And what’s a come-back can?
The Sylv one came years later… As for a come-back can – take a coffee can (sans coffee) and run 2 rubberbands through it lengthwise. Put a weight on one rubberband so that when you roll the can, one band stays in place and the other wraps around it. When you roll the can one direction, it will roll back in the other direction.
Ah! Literally it comes back. 😀
Hmmm, well you got me on all of those. Although, I do have a stuffed animal that I got in second grade and I still have him here with me!
