When good things happen to bad people.
Jul. 13th, 2003 12:12 amI recently sorta missed a meme (put about by
dreamingchristi and
andrewdavies) which was the 'things I have done' meme.
I may be a bit late, but the laydeez always tell me it's best to take my time. As such, I thought I'd get in on the act.
Things what I have done.
I have spread misery and despair wherever my feet have touched the earth
I have been mistaken for Chesney Hawkes in a public place.
I have put on my country's colours and fought against the French.*
I have run the Cam and my sanity has come out no worse than when I went in.
I have battled against monsters, but I have not become one. (This may be related to the above achievement.)
I have manipulated peoples' emotions with subliminal messages **
I have turned a somersault in mid-air, and landed on my feet.
I have squat lifted 2.5x my own weight.
I have believed people whom I should not have believed and mistrusted those whom I should.
I have paid cash for something that never existed.
I have watched the Howler monkeys play on the Temple of the Jaguar.
I have seen attack ships in flames off the Shoulder of Orion.
I have seen T-beams glitter in the darkness at the Tannhauser gate.
I have served at high altar for Holy Communion.
I have lost more than a full year's salary on a single stock purchase, and laughed about it. ***
I have been born with a silver spoon in my mouth.
I have got Dwight Schulz ('Howling Mad Murdoch' from the A-Team) to NPC one of my games.
In the last two years I have been propositioned by more men than women.
I have invaded Poland.****

* At a Full contact Karate Championship in 1993. In the first round I fought the French National Champion, who beat the crap out of me. I think I set a record for 'shortest fight'.
** As a part of my Degree Dissertation. And they were volunteers too.
*** In a bitter, slightly maniacal way, admittedly.
**** Playing Risk, yeah, but time will tell.
