Okay, My Turn

[mandysee_mandydo]

I've seen this meme a couple times now so I figure I'll do it, too. I can't promise anything as exciting or interesting as others, but that's me.

Ten things I've done that you probably haven't:
1. Survived spinal meningitis at age 4.
2. Successfully networked a Windows XP computer, 333MHz iMac, Macintosh SE FDHD, PowerBook Duo 250 and PC running DamnSmallLinux on a mixed LocalTalk & 10BaseT network bridged by a Cayman Gatorbox CS.
3. Met the members of Suicidal Tendencies and watched them perform from backstage. Robert Trujillo (now Ozzy's bassist) was an awesome guy. They even autographed my jersey!
4. Navigated a Cessna from Boire Field in Nashua to Plum Island and piloted it back.
5. Taught myself to speak Cherokee (ditsalagi), though not quite fluent yet.
6. Performed with a rock band playing guitar and singing in a caged trailer on the back of a pickup truck at a county fair in Vermont.
7. Nearly smashed my guitar on the mainstage at the same county fair in Vermont wearing a dress shirt, denim shorts, hot pink tie and suspenders. I'm not making this up.
8. Campaigned for both the Republican and Democrat Senatorial candidates in the same election for extra credit in high school. Even got a free dinner out of it at the High 5 in Manchester.
9. Provided live musical accompaniment to role-playing games, board games and LARPs.
10. And since these invariably involve some sort of risque sexual act, I will share one: had sex at a local natural attraction just off the hiking trail. Yeah, not as exciting as others I've read but I guess some would probably think it's shocking.

Yeah, I could've done #3, but I'm a nice guy ;)

I know! I was really bummed that they wouldn't let you go backstage, too. I was also going to include in the list that I saw Metallica perform sans bassist and tell Kurt Cobain jokes but you definitely did that, too. After all, we were probably the only two in the audience actually laughing at the jokes.

Wow, that's quite the list!! I'm trying to think up some stuff for my own list, if I ever were to make one... I got three things sorta so far, and they're all lame.

Hmm... maybe with some more thought I'll remember some other zany things I've done....
