meme - 3 things you've never done

[flamingsword]

1. Lost a bet by only having 163 scars, when the other guy had 181. Austin Hester: incompetent pyromaniac!

2. Taught myself to be ambidextrous.

3. Scared a ghost.


Things most of you haven't done, but I'd love to hear the stories if you have:
Gotten brain damage
Had a foursome
Died
Been arrested but not formally charged
Jumped off a balcony, off a roof onto a trampoline, off a swing at the widest point of arc

I've had a foursome or two

Story?

Let's see... according to my parents, I died once, but I don't really remember it. I just turned cyanidic, and stopped breathing for about 6 minutes. My parents tried several times to revive me, but apparently all they really had to do was get me within 20 feet of the emergency room door.

There's probably some brain damage from that, but who knows?

I do remember almost drowning at around age 11, but almost doesn't count. ^-^
One thing I have done is jump off a balcony onto a stage, landing on a clever crash pad made from a scrap of plywood and single layer of picnic cups. The trickiest part was having to jump over the railing of the balcony, and still land on my 2'x2' target below (which looked about like a postage stamp). I would have looked more badass if I'd been able to rehearse it beforehand, but it still got an audible gasp out of the crowd.

10 words for you: classy, helpful, thoughtful, peaceful, creative, restless, focussed, endearing, frustrated, self-possesed.

I've been arrested but not formally charged.

Ironically enough, the only time I was arrested was when I hadn't done anything. I just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. For serious.

I also caught someone jumping off a balcony a floor above me. Dislocated my shoulder doing it, and almost followed him down. I wasn't the only person on the balcony and that probably saved me.

Oh, and I jumped out of an airplane without a parachute. That probably counts.

I would say airplane counts like 10,000 balconies. You win. :)

Re: I've been arrested but not formally charged.

[flamingsword.livejournal.com]

Yup, that's a win.

Yay! I win.

[bardkris.livejournal.com]

What do I win?

Since I'm the king here, I guess it would be my daughter's hand in marriage? Because if I had a daughter, and she were old enough to marry, and I were an authoritarian jerkface, I would totally do something like that. :D

I was airlifted to the bigger hospital and put in an incubator at shortly after birth (which happened in the ambulance). For realz. Not many people can claim that sentence. :D :)

Uh. It is entirely possible that my brain is broken.

-hands you Magic Bandaids that ALWAYS stick- Fixed!

Why is it broken? Pretty positive that none of that stuff is that cool, you know not like shooting an epi pen into your thumb or anything (not me, my younger-older brother, as he's younger than me, but older than the other 2)...
