Ten Things Meme

I'll credit this one to narwhale, because even though she wasn't the first, she was the one who tipped the scales.

Ten things that I have done that people on my friends list probably have not.

1. Bungie-jumped in Thailand.
2. Canoed down the Shimanto River.
3. Climbed Mt. Fuji.
4. Chased away gypsies in Florence.
5. Hiked fifty miles, half of them with coral poisoning.
6. Mock-fought the entire student body of Xiamen University at midnight on New Year's Eve.
7. Rescued a man from an overturned truck that had kerosene tanks in the back.
8. Led sixty people in the Hokey Pokey.
9. Built eleven fully operational and online computer labs at eleven Recreation Centers throughout Oakland.
10. Entered a holy mountain shrine through the Torii gateway and neglected to exit the same way.

Hehe, now that sounds like a positive experience. In our case, we were rushing to the train station to catch our overnight to Paris. I looked back to see two gypsies doubling up on Yoko; the lead had her attention, while the other one was actually beginning to untie her backpack. I ran back, roaring at the top of my lungs and they both looked startled, then pissed, then just turned and left empty-handed. Pretty good composure for two 4'10" women being shouted at by a 7' bearded maniac.
