Yeah, it's that stupid 10 Things meme. It took me a long time to give in and do it, because there aren't many spectacular things I've done in my life, and few that most other folk haven't done.
EDIT: I should've put it
Anyway, here goes:
1. Had a bicycle tire blow out right next to my ear after it had been overfilled
2. Had a shotgun fired about 18" from that same ear (Is it any wonder my right ear doesn't work as well as my left?)
3. Been hit by a car
4. Never fallen off a horse in 10 years of riding (something of which I'm actually not proud)
5. Shaken Prince Charles' hand
6. Seen a man on the sidewalk who had been shot to death a few minutes earlier
7. Stunned my 6th grade math teacher into a few moments of silence by repeating back, verbatim, a long explanation she'd just given (She thought I wasn't paying attention. She never called on me again unless I raised my hand)
8. Unintentionally performed a 'bootleggers turn' in a Lincoln Continental during an advanced driving course
9. Gotten a D on a programming assignment in college because I wrote a program that did something the professor said couldn't be done
10. Been introduced to someone who immediately responded by saying "I know you! You threw up on my doorstep last year!"
