Pondering the complexities of life.

I've been tagged!

Having been tagged by my friend Mike (thanks a whole lot, Mike!), I'm trying to come up with a list of ten things I've never done that will make for an entertaining blog. Well...the list of possibilities is practically endless. I suppose I should be thankful that I wasn't tagged to list the ten most interesting things I HAVE done. Once you'd read my boring post, you'd all be feeling miserably bored and over-wrought with pity! Ten things I have NEVER done ought to at least be easier to make interesting!! And since I don't want to be seen as a procrastinator (insult upon insult), I guess I'd better get started here.


TEN THINGS I HAVE NEVER DONE:
  1. Been sky diving. (The fact that I'm not awfully fond of heights may have something to do with that.)
  2. Spoken any language other than English fluently...or even well. (Okay, so I took French in high school and Spanish in college. That means when visiting Quebec a couple years ago I managed to order a meal in some ridiculous combination of those two languages! I bet the waitress was laughing hysterically when she went back to the kitchen. I also bet she spoke fluent English. As a typical American, I believe everyone can - and should - speak English!)
  3. Performed on Broadway. (No, not really a goal. But I've also never done it, so it qualifies.)
  4. Taken a hot air balloon ride. (It sounds very romantic. I think this is more the lack of opportunity than the fear of heights.)
  5. Met a national celebrity. (My ex was on a cable-only game show hosted by Al Roker once. That's as close as I've ever gotten.)
  6. Made a decision 100% with my HEAD. (I'm emotion-driven. It's a curse.)
  7. Watched the movie "ET" without crying. (See #6)
  8. Been a bridesmaid. (I suppose I should be thankful to have never been "tagged" for that, but I feel sort of bad to have never been asked. I sang at a wedding once and I will be the maid-of-honor for my sister in September. I guess I'll have one symbolic ugly dress to hang in my closet.)
  9. Given birth to triplets...or even twins. (Thank goodness!)
  10. Owned an exotic pet. (I have an overweight, epileptic beagle. I don't think she qualifies as "exotic".)

Now the fun part! I get to tag some people. (Insert evil laugh here.)

I know that McG, Charlie, Tisha, Snake and Cowboy have all been recently tagged, so I'll let them off the hook.

AMANDA, PATRICK, PAIGE, SAR and HERMES....

....TAG...YOU'RE IT!!

(Insert an even louder and more sinister evil laugh here.)

Okay, by tagging me it means I have to do the 10 most interesting things I've never done/owned? That's the way it goes right?

HEY!! We got something in common: I, too, have never given birth to triplets, or twins.

I guess that's it. I won't ever have the symbolic ugly dress, so that's out.

Good list. U a lot of funny, Whiz.

Be so thankful you have never been a bridesmaid!! Oh the pain. I was maid of honor once for my best friend (who is no longer speaking to me btw) and swore never again. I have since told all my friends to elope and I will send them a nice gift.
