Another Thursday, Another Meme

Via Red, another one of those funky "Have You Ever" memes.

Bolded answers are "Yes".

snuck out of the house - My dad was the lightest sleeper in the world. When I finally learned to get out of the house without him hearing me, it was a huge accomplishment. I could have snuck up on a rabbit from behind and grabbed it by the ears, I could move so quietly.
gotten lost in your city - When I first moved to the Twin Cities, Saint Paul was pretty confusing. I still get turned around on the West Side.
saw a shooting star
been to any other countries besides the United States - Holland, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Germany, the UK and Canada.
had a serious surgery
gone out in public in your pajamas
kissed a stranger/hugged a stranger - The big street party after the Twins won the '87 World Series. Kissed strangers, hugged strangers, bought drinks for strangers, the works.
been in a fist fight - In my days in bars, the fights frequently came to me.
been arrested - Once, for some overdue parking tickets.
done drugs - Actually, I've never had an illegal drug in my life.
had alcohol - Oh, yeah.
laughed and had milk/coke come out of your nose - Grape juice.
pushed all the buttons on an elevator
made out in an elevator - Oh, yeah.
slept in an elevator
swore at your parents
kicked a guy where it hurts - Loc Cit. The bars were a lousy place.
been in love - It wasn't what I'd expected.
been close to love- Ditto.
been to a casino - Playing blackjack at a Holiday Inn bar in North Dakota doesn't count..
been skydiving - I wish. Someday.
broken a bone - There are two bones in my body that, since I was a little kid, I've always been paranoid about breaking - my little finger, and my little toe. Guess what two bones I've broken in my life? Broke my little finger (and needed surgery) when I was 27, broke the little toe when I was 30.
been high - Not from drugs. Last winter when I had bronchitis, I coughed so hard I frequently got euphoric.
skinny-dipped
skipped school - Pfft. If I'd skipped school, my dad (a teacher) would have found out about it instantly. I didn't even skip classes in college.
saw a therapist
done the splits - Not within about five feet.
played spin the bottle
gotten stitches - Many, many stitches.
had an IV
drank a whole gallon of milk in one hour
bitten someone
been to Niagara Falls
gotten the chicken pox - When I was 17.
kissed a member of the opposite sex - Er...yeah.
kissed a member of the same sex - Never even been tempted to.
crashed into a friend's car
been to Japan
ridden in a taxi
been dumped - The stories I could tell.
shoplifted - Never.
been fired - Guh. I started in radio. I got fired the first time when I was 17. At eight radio stations, I only quit on my own power twice. I've never been fired for cause, ever - but aside from my radio career, I've had contracts lapse on me unexpectedly, had companies close their doors (or been laid off by companies that were going to shut down before long), and quit to get away from bosses or situations that I hated. But I've never been fired for doing anything wrong.
had a crush on someone of the same sex
stole something from your job
gone on a blind date - many, many of them. I've probably gone out with 85 different women in the last five years. Most have been blind dates. I kind of like them.
lied to a friend
had a crush on a teacher - Yep.
celebrated Mardi-Gras in New Orleans
been to Europe
slept with a co-worker - technically. My ex and I met at a bar we were working at. Does that count?
been married - @#$#@%
gotten divorced- Ibid.
had children - Two. Plus a stepson.
saw someone die - Two and a half times. I saw a car get hit by a train, killing the driver. And I saw a car smack into a motorcyclist, throwing him into a tree. Technically, he was pronounced dead at the hospital, but I don't think he made it all the way there. And I happened on a car crash on I35 one night. Two cars. I pried one door open - the people inside were hurt but OK. I went to the other car, where people were giving CPR to the driver. I don't think he made it, either.
been to Africa
driven over 400 miles in one day - Many times.
been to Canada
been to Mexico
been on a plane
seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show
thrown up in a bar
purposely set a part of yourself on fire
eaten sushi
been snowboarding
met someone in person from the internet - Several times.
been moshing at a rock show - I was a rocker, baby.
cut yourself on purpose - Not my best moment. At various moments of extreme, unbearable, irreconcilable stress, I used to do that. See "Therapy", above. It's been 12 years since I last did that.
been to a moto cross show
lost a child
gone to college
graduated from college
done hard drugs - Again, never.
taken painkillers - Oh, yeah. I'm pounding Aleve right now.
love someone or miss someone right now - I love my kids very much. They're on spring break, so I have to say that I'm glad I'm at work. If by "someone" you mean in a romantic sense? Good question.
