Ten things I've done that you probably haven't


1. Gone through Doula training

2. Started a Lexicon for an AU slashfic

3. Had a "cry count" going for a movie. (16 separate times is my highest.)

4. Read the Illiad three times. Without it ever being assigned.

5. Written Hulk/Legolas slash.

6. Set my thumbnail on fire.

7. Dropped a thesaurus in the bathtub.

8. Made Harry Potter House undies.

9. Made two Greek costumes, including grieves, sandals and bracers. (One inspired by Diana, the other a standard upperclass women's chiton)

10. Been a Quaker.

If you have done these things I shall either proud or scared. Maybe a little of both.

I was lighting a candle back when I had acrylic nails and I had to angle my hand to reach down into the candle. When I brought it up, my thumbnail was on fire. It was gross.

#5 is disturbing, to say the least. I dropped a copy of PoA into a hot tub, so I came CLOSE to your #7, but not quite. And...Harry Potter UNDIES? Were you planning a hot date with Lupin or something? :P

5 was just a drabble and it was one of the best challenges I ever got. *cackles*

And every good Hufflepuff needs their official Hufflepuff thong! Especially the President of the Easy Lay Hufflepuff Association.

Oh, if that thong could talk! The stories it could tell! Hey, I just remembered - I was Lana's Secret Snape in 2003, and I did some iron-on Potter Puppet Pals images for a teddy and some panties for her. So, that counts as "making HP underwear" right? Woot! :)

*muuuuuuuuuuuuuah*

But I call bluff. I may be on crack, but weren't you required to read the Iliad?

I believe you fully on the nail thing.

You dropped your thesaurus in the bathtub and DIDN'T TELL ME???? It's been like my signature nerd fact for years! How could you join my fun without telling me? *weeps*

And *I* made your HP undies. But I still love you.

You rock my collegiate party world.

Well.. :-p on you.

I was never required to read the Iliad; you smokin' the hobbit weed. I did that all on my own, but I probably did it more than three times, so you can get me there.

heh..It wasn't attached to my finger... that count? ;)

It wasn't so much MY thesaurus but there was still a thesaurus and a bathtub and me...dropping ....or throwing...one of those O:-)

And yes...you did make my first pair...I plead the 5th on the rest.

*hugs*

I am actually quite relieved you haven't done anything on this list. I felt a little freakish putting it together.

Although I did have a moment of, "So that's why I don't get invited out in public!"

hmm... maybe word got out that someone you know has both set her own thumbnail on fire *and* written Hulk/Legolas? But not both at the same time.

*huggles you hardcore*

hmm, and here I thought I had that well under wraps. I went and stamped it with a big red "CONFIDENTIAL" as well....do you think that just encouraged people to go rooting around?*grins*

*huggles back*

ps. I'm glad it wasn't at the same time, I was worried for a good 2.5 seconds

And I'd totally do 5 & 9...and 2 but I don't usually read AU fics.
Also done 3 but I only cried 3 times, but I'm dead inside!

O:-)
I'll stop spamming your LJ now.

You like spamming me. Admit it.

You aren't dead inside so much as I should not be allowed to watch RotK EE after months of waiting while enjoying an exciting hormonal journey.

And I believe you with the Hulk/Legolas. I really do.

*hugs*

Well, yes. Obviously I like spamming you, otherwise I wouldn't do it.
That and I was bored.

heh Hulk/Legolas

You should call me or be online or something.

I've made two greek costumes. Not high quality, mind you, but they did have sandals.

It was part of a presentation for IB Theatre. We were to present scenes from The Imaginary Invalid in an entirely new setting and/or style. So, my partner Cat and I decided upon Greek Theatre for reasons I cannot remember. We brought sandals to class, used some cloths from the fabric closet as togas (togae?), and our director Paris made large masks that looked like kindergarten art project rejections.

As I said, not high quality.

PS: How come I'm not listed as one of your friends anymore? Did I do something wrong?

Nope. You didn't do anything wrong. I usually friend people I either have a *very* pressing need to know about their day to day existence or they're authors I read on a regular basis. I try not to keep too many people from home friended as it just feels a little weird.

It all depends on rides, but I may be coming to see the Crucible on Saturday. We'll see.

3, 6, 10...

I also Screwed my thumb to the stage...woot. Thank you Hamlet platforms.

Have you ever had a paint fight at 9:30pm with another techie after gibby has left rehersal, and we were painting the Crucible set (I did that...oh...20 mins ago. I look like a black tiger)

Bleh...come to crucible....you know you want to.

Can't say that I have. (Especially as "another techie" would imply that *I'm* a techie. Alas, I was a mere actor at South.) But I did get into a paint fight *with* Gibby during class one day. Anything Goes set.

I may be able to come on Saturday. It all depends on how much my friend loves me. We shall see.
