Come For the Games, Stay For the Cookies

I stole this from Kelly's archives because, well, she's just that cute and I'm just that nosy.

I know I know, I'm breaking my no meme rule again, but just like every other rule in my life, once its imposed I get twitchy and irritable and find ways around it. This isn't technically a meme because I'm not tagging anyone and I wasn't tagged. And this one is just FUN. To play, just cut & paste the list to your blog, and bold any of the ones that are true. Or don't. You know..because this isn't a meme.

Crashed a friend's car
Stolen a car

Shoplifted - my mother still unknowingly wears the fugly jacket I stole from Contempo Casuals when I was 15.
Been fired - Technically I was fired for quitting.
Been in a fist fight
Snuck out of your parent's house - I was raised SO strictly religious that all of my relationships up to the age of eighteen were conducted through my bedroom window.

Met someone in person from the internet - not until this happens
Been moshing at a concert
Taken pain killers - Can't you see it in my eyes?
Loved and missed someone

Flown a kite - The best memory I have with my father.
Built a sand castle
Gone puddle jumping

Been lonely
Fallen asleep at work or school
Used a fake ID- Oooooh, my. So, I'm SIX months away from turning 21 and my roommate and I just want to check out this new club that opened right down the street from our place. We drive all the way into the city (San Francisco) and spend $200 (all we had to our names) for fake ID's. Of course they have to be out of state, so we choose Illinois. As we stand in line at the club that night, we're loudly making conversation with the people around us about how its snowing "back home" and how much we love the Bears. When its our turn the bouncer takes one look at my ID, puts it in his pocket and says "Thanks for the ID". My roommate for some reason that we to this day cannot figure out, steps forward and hands her ID to him as well. Total loser moment. Then 2 weeks later I go on a blind double date. Guess who my date is? Bouncer!
Watched a sun set- last time was in Kauai a few months ago
Felt an earthquake -Born and raised in California; what do you think?
Touched a snake
Slept beneath the stars- Ha! I thought this said "stairs". Which also would have been highlighted.
Been robbed- While I was pregnant, people kept stealing our mail and trying to take Chris' identity. This almost ruined our credit and we were in a panic for about a year. I kept telling Chris that I feared one day I would come home and someone else would be sitting on the couch calling me honey and asking me what was for dinner.
Been misunderstood- Almost consistently. I often don't understand myself.
Petted a reindeer/goat - is this a joke?
Won a contest- I took 2nd place in a wet T-shirt contest about 1000 years ago - does that count? I also took 2nd place in a spelling bee. Here's to being second best!
Run a red light/stop sign
Been suspended from school - Never.
Been in a car accident - Twice. Calm down, Renee.
Eaten a whole pint of ice cream in one night- I don't like ice cream. An entire loaf of french bread with olive oil, yes.
Had deja vu- I feel like I've answered this before.
Danced in the moonlight - I'm not entirely sure what this means. Am I outside in this scenario? Am I howling?
Liked the way you looked at least at one point in time - Once.
Witnessed a crime- Only a crime against good taste

!
Been obsessed with post-it notes - Tell me this isn't a real obsession.
Squished barefoot through the mud
Been lost- I can hardly get from my office to the kitchen without getting lost. Or maybe that's distracted?

Swam in the ocean
Cried yourself to sleep
Played cops and robbers
Recently colored with crayons - Razmatazz rules!

Paid for a meal with only coins - How else do you pay for a 89 cent McDonalds burger?
Done something you told yourself you wouldn't- When have I done something I told myself I would?
Made prank phone calls- How do girls call boys these days with Caller ID?

Caught a snow flake on your tongue - This one makes me giggle. Why would I remember this?
Written a letter to Santa Claus
Been kissed under the mistletoe by your boy/girlfriend
Watched the sun rise with someone you care about- Only when I gain 3 hours in Hawaii am I up that early.
Blown bubbles - My daughter is obsessed.
Made a bonfire on the beach
Laughed so hard you pee your pants- Ewww.
Cheated on a test
Been kissed by someone you didn't like - Don't make me think about this one - I have a very sensitive gag reflex. My only question is how can a man reach 33 years of age and kiss like a lizard??
Gone skinny dipping in a pool - sounds dangerous

There it is - everything you never wanted to know.

Ha! The entire thing made me laugh. And just why did you receive a large Charlie Brown doll and some Anne Geddes banimal... baby animal.Did ya marry the guy who came over with "Booty Call"... how tacky, but a great story!

[Marcia]

I loved all the pictures. And since I'm "new" to your blog, I liked getting to know you!!

[mommyof4]

That was great! It was fun getting to know you better!

[TheIdleReceptionist]

1. French bread and olive oil!2. Paying for Happy Meals in quarters and nickels!3. Too many other things that made me go, "Hehe...yeah..." to count!!

[Lisa]

LOL! I read this earlier but couldn't respond with two kids on my lap. I think I'll play later. ;) It was nice to find out more about you!

[Jess Riley]

That "crime against good taste" picture cracked me up. Also, BOOTY CALL? Oh my. Very fun meme! :)

[Angela]

Too funny! That fake ID story is the best. I so hope that you didn't kiss him!! (that's what they call "karma", no?)

[Virenda]

Oh Lena, I LOVE this Meme. Lots of fun.Um, Bootie Call? That STILL cracks me up.Don't let ur hubby see... (u know what I'm talkin bout.)I will end up doing this, cause I'm a sucker for a good meme.

[mama_tulip]

LOL -- I love the fake ID story.

[Chatty Kathy]

i'm so copy catting you (and kelly)on this today. LOL - feel like I know TOO much about you, and at the same time am already ashamed of some of the things that will be hi-lighted on mine.

[Freakren]

Love the "Booty Call" thing and I can remember a couple of times you have called me for directions when lost.

[Lena]

I have a very funny family - a couple of them have actually done standup for a living. So, these are the types of gifts we get for our anniversary. Always the punchline, never the joke...That's a gnome by the way. We also received a dollar store romance novel, a ceramic clock festooned in squirrels, and a talking pen. The only real gift was my aunt's jam.I'm glad you're all interested in getting to know me, because you can rest assured that I'm all about getting up in your business too.;) I'm nosy like that.Also, there are many more tales. Many more.And of course I did NOT kiss bouncer! I flirted with him for half the night, then when he thought things were going well, I reminded him who I was (you didn't think he'd remember me did you?), said he could enjoy the rest of the night with my friend and her date, and went to bed.I can't wait to see this meme on your blogs!

[Moonjockey]

What I want to know is did the bouncer give you your ID back after your date?

[Kelly]

Hilarious as usual!Loved the booty call dvd blind date guy.Funny.

[KDubs]

Amen to the sushi love, and I also happen to agree that plane travel and NyQuil complement each other perfectly.

[Suzanne]

[Chrixean]

That was a fun list! Never thought that there could be more ways than one to get to know somebody -- and this is my first visit to your blog! I knew someone who actually peed in her pants (well skirt, for this matter) when she laughed really hard. She will kill me for ever mentioning this again. :-)Anyway, Wendy directed me here today ;-)

[Tanya]

I was going to do this meme once. But my mum reads my blog and there were questions there that I didn't want her to know the answers to!! Shame, coz most of it looked like fun. I loved reading your answers :)

[owlhaven]

I am SO not brave enough to do this (not)meme. Don't want to shatter anyone's image of me, ya know! But I sure had fun reading yours!Mary
