That ten-things meme ...
Feb. 22nd, 2005 11:05 pmTen things I've done that you might not have:
1. Gotten a phone call from Italy from Roberto Benigni's assistant.
2. Bent my ankle sideways at a 95-degree angle and sprained it to the point where the ER doctor said I'd have been better off breaking it, then didn't walk right for four months.
3. Tied a cherry stem in a knot with my tongue on my first try in less than a minute.
4. Never broken a bone.
5. Had an uncle who interviewed Paul McCartney, Ellen Degeneres, Chris Rock, Elton John, and lots of other famous people. (He was a music critic for the San Francisco Chronicle.)
6. Ran away from home for five days after I flunked out of college.
7. Had a llama sneeze on me.
8. Convinced a stranger hitting on me in a movie theater that I was a new mother of triplets on my first night out by myself in months when I was eighteen. (Then ran into the same guy three years later in Borders and still managed to keep my cover story straight.)
9. Had my mother go to a PGA Tour game and seriously consider taking a banana peel Tiger Woods threw into a garbage can and selling it on Ebay.
10. Had a physically painful nightmare about a pair of tall buildings exploding a month or so before September 11th.
