Ten Things I've Done That You Probably Haven't, Plus One You Probably Have

I probably won't get to ten. I don't do that many far-out things. o.O

1. Had eye surgery at five months old to remove a cataract

2. Read the unabridged version of Les Miserables in two days

3. Drunk an entire can of Mountain Dew in roughly ten seconds

4. Been a "tree" for a fully grown boa constrictor

5. Written a college entrance essay about the Harry Potter fandom

6. Told someone I was an "optimistic cynic, or cynical optimist"

7. Had the chicken pox twice

...All right, I can't think of any more.

And one thing you probably have done...

1. Been INCREDIBLY BORED while sick

(You know what's the worst part? Reading makes my headache worse. And being up and about makes my nausea worse. I can't win. Thank God I'm already accepted to my chosen college so I can coast and use up my sick days.)

Anyway, talk to me. I'm on Y!M (though I'll go back to reading when I'm done with this entry), but I like getting LJ comments, even if it takes me forever to answer them. Especially as this very bright screen is doing wonders for making my head pound. *flees to bed*

ETA:

PSA:

thistlerose's icons give me an almost undeniable urge to find episodes of Rainbow Brite and My Little Ponies and watch them. *sigh* I loved those shows when I was younger. I want them back. I've got the Rainbow Brite theme song on my iPod. *g*

I've been a tree for a 5 1/2 foot boa. Not quite full grown. Her name was Charlie (Charlotte). I stuck her in my leather jacket for a motorcycle ride, too. She belonged to my friend David.

I was in the San Diego Zoo when I was seven and at this reptile show, and the handlers asked for volunteers to be trees to the snakes and I was probably the youngest volunteer (hey, I like snakes! :D) so they brought me up, and I managed to luck a boa constrictor. It was heavier than I was, so it only slithered around me for a bit (ahaha I almost typed slithered and slytherined XD), but it was cool.

We were at the Toronto zoo some years ago and saw their reptile show. I think Nyssa was about 13 and was sorely disappointed when they wouldn't even let her touch the boa. We'd had the chance to babysit Charlie for about 3 months then and she was very familiar with snakes. We did get a chance to hold nearly all the snakes at a reptile show last summer. :)

You have the Rainbow Brite theme song?!???

Can you send it as a MPEG? I've got the opening from She-ra...

Hee hee. My icons are so girly!

[gehayi.livejournal.com]

...you know, it's a sign of how long I've been in fandom that I read MPEG as "MPREG."

[thistlerose.livejournal.com]

I almost wrote MPREG. How scary is that?

[rynne.livejournal.com]

Hee. Sent! Tell me if you don't get it.

Every time I see your Rainbow Brite icons, I get the biggest urge to watch it, especially the movies. And really, if Rainbow Brite (the original) was still on, I'd actually watch TV more often...

6. Told someone I was an "optimistic cynic, or cynical optimist"

I told people I was pessemistically cheerful. XD Does that count?

[gehayi.livejournal.com]

How did you manage to get the chicken pox twice? I thought that was impossible.

[rynne.livejournal.com]

It's rather rare, but not impossible. The first time was when I was a baby, the second when I was in kindergarten. I don't really remember much about any of it.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

I had a snake around my neck at someone's birthday party when i was like 10 or something... I don't remember if it was a boa constrictor. Hmm.

Ooh what college are you going to?

And wow i'm so jealous that you wrote your essay about Harry Potter... while I was thinking about what I'm passionate about fandoms DEFINATELY popped up in there... but I'm not involved enough or anything like that to *really* write about it. The essay writing process taught me just how boring I am -_- But anywho. That must have been so much fun. I'm jealous. *pout* lol

I've done 6 as well. Cynical optimists unite!
