apocalypsos: (boo tantrum)

Hmmm.

Post 3 things you've done in your lifetime that you don't think anybody else on your friends list has done. See if anybody else responds with "I've done that." If they have, you need to add another. Have your friends cut & paste this into their journal to see what unique things they've done in their life.

Um, let's see:

1. Got sneezed on at a zoo by a llama.

2. Got a phone call from Roberto Benigni's assistant about a week after he won the Oscar telling me that he had really loved a letter I'd written him after seeing Life Is Beautiful. (What? It really hit me hard at a really bad time, okay?)

3. Flunked out of college, had what was probably a small nervous breakdown, aaaaand ran away for a week.

My things that nobody else have done SUCK, yo. Why couldn't there be a "Defy gravity with the power of my mind!" or "Win the lottery" or "Commit obscene, lewd and possibly illegal acts upon Jensen Ackles's person" on that list?

2. is frankly amazing and wonderful. GO YOU.

Dude, I wrote him a six-page letter. And then I get a phone call. From ITALY.

Seriously it's beyond awesome. I can only guess you said something really wonderful in that letter. :)

#2 really is awesome.

As for #3, is flunked out of college, definitely had a nervous breakdown, and hid in my apartment for several months close enough? 'Cause if so, *raises hand* did that.

#2 is pretty much the only good option I could come up with. Sigh.

Hey, if it's close enough, then my next option was, "Got two completely unrelated flat tires in a span of three hours," which ... ugh, I don't even want to think about THAT particular day again.

I have many llama-related camp stories, though they never sneezed on me. My camp had llamas and the best thing was when every once in a while one would escape and people would chase it around until they got it. I never went too close to them, they kind of freaked me out. And that's really cool about the phone call.

#3... yes, yes, and I ran away home without telling anyone in the dorm, who then thought I was dead and had to break into my room to get my phone book for emergency contact details. That count?

(#2 is awesome)

Yes to #1, scarily enough.

OMG ME TOO. EWWWWW.

(Is it possible llamas are allergic to humans?)

Yeah, this meme, I have nothing good.

I mean, mine would be, hm.

1. Been treated in an emergency room with no wheelchair-accessible bathrooms and not staffed by any actual MDs, by a kid who hadn't ever dealt with a broken bone before.

2. Managed to develop a need for emergency surgery at the exact same time as my child, unbeknownst to me, was at an ER in another city being observed for possible accidental poisoning.

3. Sneezed hard enough to require one of the sexy cervical collar brace things for the whiplash.

WHEE!

1. Haha, I've been sneezed on by a camel! That's close! ^_~

Your list is extremely cool.

I dunno #2 is pretty fucking awesome.

Why couldn't there be a ... "Commit obscene, lewd and possibly illegal acts upon Jensen Ackles's person" on that list?

Dude, tell me about it. I would line up behind you for a chance to do that.

#2 is awesome.

Mine are kinda meh.

1. Sat on Adam West's lap/ridden in the 60's Batmobile.

2. Ran away from the FBI (while being pursued).

3. Kicked a guy in a Scooby Doo costume (for being mean to my little brother at an amusement park).

I actually have a startlingly high number of friends who did #3, in part or in entirety.

Flunked out of college because I had a large nervous breakdown that involved the police, although not for a week?

My dad got spit on by a llama at the zoo ... close enough?!?
