westerlingLet's try that meme that I was so taken with a few weeks ago:
Ten things that I've done that you probably haven't:
1. Been to Fastnacht in Basel, Switzerland
2. Watched the train pull out of the station in East Germany with my train ticket and visa aboard.
3. Been caught in flagrante delecto (in a place I wasn't supposed to be) when the fire engine pulled up right outside the building. Air brakes=Hsssss.
4. Accidentally seduced someone with Reiki. No, really, it was totally an accident.
5. Been to a NASCAR race with my Dad.
6. Translated Beowulf.
7. Climbed Mt. Katahdin, including over the Knife Edge.
8. Sang in "Thespis," a rarely done Gilbert & Sullivan show.
9. Camped out on Putney Mountain on May Eve to see the Putney Morris Men dance at dawn--every May Eve for 8 years.
10. Sold a piece of jewelry I made for $125.

Re: my list
Date: 2005-03-17 04:09 am (UTC)1. Restored a Model 1895 Mauser broomhandle pistol (which, coincidentally, was the same gun that George Lucas used for Han Solo's blaster in the original Star Wars movies) and a Model 94 Winchester lever action rifle with an octagonal barrel. (Is that one or two?)
2. Lost my plane ticket in France when I was 15 years old and almost got stuck there for the rest of my life.
3. Met Nick Rhodes and Simon Le Bon from Duran Duran. :) And got invited to go to the Museum of Fine Arts with Nick to see the Van Gogh exhibit (but couldn't go.)
4. Worked with the artist and former Smith student Sandy Skoglund repairing and installing 114 giant orange low-fire ceramic goldfish for the "revenge of the goldfish" part of the Reality Under Siege show at the Smith Art Museum.
5. Handled with mine own little hands pottery and glass objects from ancient Egypt, Syria and Crete, and ceramic plates and bowls made by Pablo Picasso while helping pack up all the art at the Smith Art Museum in preparation for renovations.
6. Was named a national merit scholar for scoring over 1400 on my PSAT in 10th grade. (For this honor I received one T-shirt)
7. Met Peter Murphy...he's taller than I expected. (I include this not because it sounds really cool or anything, but because it really means a lot to me.)
I'll have to get back to you on the other three. I KNOW I've done something else... :)
