So I see I am the only one, so far, that was stupid enough to get arrested and go bungee jumping,
I see how it is.


I said no to the lemonade stand but as a child I did walk around hawking Yum-Yum. For those who don't know,
Yum-Yum is sort of like an Italian ice. Cherry was the only flavor we sold and I probably ate more than I sold.

Have you ever...


1. Won a trophy/award? Yes. I won four spelling bees in elementary school; in junior high I won two awards for my achievements in math... and not really any more since then.

2. Been arrested? No, and I hope I never do.

3. Been in an auto accident (either as driver or passenger)? Technically, yes, as a passenger. On June 24, 1993, we (my mom and I) were rear-ended in a parking lot when we were backing out of a parking space in a one-way aisle, and a woman driving a hot red car was going the wrong way, and hit us.

4. Gone skinny dipping? No.

5. Skipped a class? Not really... but if I ever had an appointment during school hours, I guess it would count. But I have NEVER played hooky from school.

6. Climbed a tree? Yes, only a small one, and not very high because I was a kid at the time and didn't want to risk falling off the tree and hurting myself.

7. Climbed a mountain? Nope.

8. Roller skated? Yes, but I haven't done so since I was 16. Even then, I wasn't doing it very frequently.

9. Ice skated? No.

10. Had surgery? Yes, twice. In 1987, at age 7, I had my tonsils removed and had to be in the hospital overnight; in 2000, at age 20, I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed, and I was an outpatient for that.

11. Flunked a class? I wanna say no to that... but unfortunately in college I had major struggles with upper-division computer-science classes and could not pass two of them with a 'C' or better.

12. Gone bungee jumping? No, nor do I intend to.

13. Had a lemonade/Kool-Aid stand? No, although it might have been fun.

14. Won any money in the lottery? Nope.

15. Been in a race (car, foot, etc.)? A foot race, albeit a minor one, on a few occasions at school when I was a kid.

16. Been fired from a job? No, and I hope I never do.

17. Played an instrument? Yes...piano. I took private lessons when I was a kid, and then twice in school. Haven't played much in the past 13 years, however.

18. Played a sport? I did tee-ball when I was about 7 1/2, and did some sports in school, but only in P.E. class. In addition, I did play a game of volleyball with other young adults about ten years ago, and the side that I was on won.

19. Been in a performance (either musical, dance, drama, etc.)? Not really.

20. Got drunk/stoned? No, nor do I ever intend to.

21. Been snorkeling/scuba diving? Nope; for the longest time I was deathly afraid to go underwater, and I have not had any swimming lessons since I was 17; that's half my life ago already!

22. Been to summer camp? Yes. For three straight years I went to summer day camp as a kid, and then I went to a week-long camp session and enjoyed the experience somewhat.

23. Been in a parade? No.

24. Have your photo/name in the newspaper? Well, I took some photos for a weekly newspaper that my dad works for, and I rightly had my photo credit. So I guess this would count.

25. Caught a firefly? No.

26. Been in on boat (sail, kayak, canoe, etc.)? Yes...a cruise ship! :)

27. Bounced a check? No.

28. Been camping? No.

29. Been hang gliding? No.

30. Been suspended from school? No, and I'm glad I never was. I was well-behaved for the most part. If I ever got in trouble, it was for something minor, that would NOT warrant a suspension.

Have you ever...


1. Won a trophy/award? Third place ribbon in elementary school games. Won a small prize for an art piece liked best by students judging. (Just for fun)

2. Been arrested? Of course not.

3. Been in an auto accident (either as driver or passenger)? When I was 16 my dad was driving and slammed into another car at a two way stop. The drivers of the other car must have been new, they were high school students and didn't have the stop sign. We did. Everyone was fine, the cars not so much. If he hadn't tried to avoid them people might not have been ok.

4. Gone skinny dipping? In a girl's pool in her backyard we did once.

5. Skipped a class? No. Couldn't get away with it.

6. Climbed a tree? As a kid all the time!

7. Climbed a mountain? Where by me is there a mountain?

8. Roller skated? Yes and I was so excited when I got rollerblades because they were easier to skate on. I loved going to the skating rink where they'd play dance music and sometimes me and friends would skate in this huge church lot when it was empty.

9. Ice skated? Yes, downtown there was an ice rink that lit up at night even. I didn't mind being cold then.

10. Had surgery? Three times. Once for wisdom teeth, twice for a broken bone.

11. Flunked a class? I've bombed tests and had failing grades in classes I didn't like, but managed to squeak by after the exams. I could have cared more.

12. Gone bungee jumping? No, but I did do a bungee cord thing where you're in a harness and can jump high on a trampoline beneath your feet.

13. Had a lemonade/Kool-Aid stand? Never thought of it, nor do I know how to make homemade lemonade.

14. Won any money in the lottery? Only $15 on a scratch and win.

15. Been in a race (car, foot, etc.)? Just on foot and I'm not fast.

16. Been fired from a job? Technically no because they were temp to begin with.

17. Played an instrument? We had to learn recorders in 4th grade, that's it.

18. Played a sport? Basketball.

19. Been in a performance (either musical, dance, drama, etc.)? A play in 8th grade, and Christmas pageants in grade school to sing.

20. Got drunk/stoned? Drunk yes. Stoned, never.

21. Been snorkeling/scuba diving? No, but it sounds like fun!

22. Been to summer camp? Yes and had a ball, but got very dirty!

23. Been in a parade? Twice. One when we had to pass out church fliers and candy while wearing cheesy hats. Before that there was one that got rained out and we were all soaked.

24. Have your photo/name in the newspaper? No.

25. Caught a firefly? Never tried.

26. Been in on boat (sail, kayak, canoe, etc.)? A youth canoe trip down a river. It was hard to paddle that thing! My arms were killing me and I got burned so bad.

27. Bounced a check? No, but I need to watch the spending.

28. Been camping? Summer camp.

29. Been hang gliding? Sounds fun, but scary.

30. Been suspended from school? No, but detention once for a technology code violation.

Have you ever...


1. Won a trophy/award? Yes. I won four spelling bees in elementary school; in junior high I won two awards for my achievements in math... and not really any more since then.

2. Been arrested? No, and I hope I never do.

3. Been in an auto accident (either as driver or passenger)? Technically, yes, as a passenger. On June 24, 1993, we (my mom and I) were rear-ended in a parking lot when we were backing out of a parking space in a one-way aisle, and a woman driving a hot red car was going the wrong way, and hit us.

4. Gone skinny dipping? No.

5. Skipped a class? Not really... but if I ever had an appointment during school hours, I guess it would count. But I have NEVER played hooky from school.

6. Climbed a tree? Yes, only a small one, and not very high because I was a kid at the time and didn't want to risk falling off the tree and hurting myself.

7. Climbed a mountain? Nope.

8. Roller skated? Yes, but I haven't done so since I was 16. Even then, I wasn't doing it very frequently.

9. Ice skated? No.

10. Had surgery? Yes, twice. In 1987, at age 7, I had my tonsils removed and had to be in the hospital overnight; in 2000, at age 20, I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed, and I was an outpatient for that.

11. Flunked a class? I wanna say no to that... but unfortunately in college I had major struggles with upper-division computer-science classes and could not pass two of them with a 'C' or better.

12. Gone bungee jumping? No, nor do I intend to.

13. Had a lemonade/Kool-Aid stand? No, although it might have been fun.

14. Won any money in the lottery? Nope.

15. Been in a race (car, foot, etc.)? A foot race, albeit a minor one, on a few occasions at school when I was a kid.

16. Been fired from a job? No, and I hope I never do.

17. Played an instrument? Yes...piano. I took private lessons when I was a kid, and then twice in school. Haven't played much in the past 13 years, however.

18. Played a sport? I did tee-ball when I was about 7 1/2, and did some sports in school, but only in P.E. class. In addition, I did play a game of volleyball with other young adults about ten years ago, and the side that I was on won.

19. Been in a performance (either musical, dance, drama, etc.)? Not really.

20. Got drunk/stoned? No, nor do I ever intend to.

21. Been snorkeling/scuba diving? Nope; for the longest time I was deathly afraid to go underwater, and I have not had any swimming lessons since I was 17; that's half my life ago already!

22. Been to summer camp? Yes. For three straight years I went to summer day camp as a kid, and then I went to a week-long camp session and enjoyed the experience somewhat.

23. Been in a parade? No.

24. Have your photo/name in the newspaper? Well, I took some photos for a weekly newspaper that my dad works for, and I rightly had my photo credit. So I guess this would count.

25. Caught a firefly? No.

26. Been in on boat (sail, kayak, canoe, etc.)? Yes...a cruise ship! :)

27. Bounced a check? No.

28. Been camping? No.

29. Been hang gliding? No.

30. Been suspended from school? No, and I'm glad I never was. I was well-behaved for the most part. If I ever got in trouble, it was for something minor, that would NOT warrant a suspension.



All of these answers (including the "No" responses) are still true today.
