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.

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?

Been suspended from school - Never.
Been in a car accident - Twice. Calm down, Renee.

Oh, my God. I'm only now catching up on old posts. The bouncer story, though. We need more details than that! Details, Lena, DETAILS! How did the date go? What did you talk about? Who set you up, anyway?

[Smom]

Oh just dandy....I believe that I now have that jacket! Black? Buckles? Help me.

Caryn - The date was set up by my roommate's friend. These guys were HER boyfriend's friends. Follow? Yeah, I didn't either, but back then his stats fit the bill and that was all the info I needed. I recognized him the moment we walked into the restaurant. He of course did not. It was awkward. I was pretty good at being coyly amusing back then so he was hopeful.Fast forward to back at our apt. 2 hours later and I ask him if he remembers me. He says no. I say 'Now you will'. End of night. It WAS as exciting as it sounds. ;)EM -- LOL!!! Actually it's burgundy nylon. You think I would have gone after the pleather!
