I'll credit this one to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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.

Re: 6.: This goes without saying. I was plastered in a very good, Imperialist Western Capitalist sort of way, and I was just wandering through this crowd of students gathered at the University sports arena, when suddenly guys started whacking me on the head with rolled-up newspapers and magazines (again, in a good-natured sort of way, not violently). I grabbed one of the weapons and started giving back. I'd rush this way at the crowd, and they'd fall back a little and then regroup and try to hit me, at which point I'd run the other way toward the other half of the crowd, swinging, and, well, you get the picture. At one point I leapt into the stands and then rushed back; at another point I was doing aikido shoulder rolls (on concrete!) as I rushed the crowd. By the end, we were all roaring with laughter... and my shoulder was sore for some reason. Heh, and that was just midnight.
Re: 9.: You're a baaad man.
Re: 10.: Torii gate looks like this:
entering through one is considered like entering into the spirit world; as long as you exit through another one, you're supposed to have returned to the real world. I was drunk (again! Notice a theme?) and purposely left the shrine through some woods on the side. So where am I now? Hm.
