edenfalling10 Things I've Done That You Probably Haven't
1. Been paid to teach homeschool.
2. Burned the whole palm of my right hand on a radiator. (Fortunately, I was young enough that the skin grew back.)
3. Got sun-poisoning at a mountain lake in Transylvania.
4. Heck, I've been to Transylvania at all. Where I stayed in a Unitarian minister's house. And rowed a boat on Lacu Rosu, managing not to crash into the drowned trees. And visited "Dracula's Castle," which, interestingly enough, the real Vlad the Impaler never set foot in, though he besieged it a couple times.
5. Crossed the Germany-Austria border underground in a salt mine. Twice.
6. Attended an annual meeting of the Meteoritical Society.
7. Split logs the hard way, with a wedge and a maul. (Great for anger-management, btw! Though it's kind of hard on your back and shoulders.)
8. Backed a car halfway through a garage door by accident.
9. Fainted in the London Underground.
10. Spent an entire day with a wood tick embedded in my neck because I thought it was a pimple.
ETA: In the spirit of painful/icky things...
11. Been attacked by thumb-sized horseflies and consequently had lymph nodes swollen to the size of grapes in my neck. For three days. :-)

The garage door, on the other hand, was just embarrassing. :-)
