Meme stolen from KCScribbler

[belphegor1982]

(I have no idea how you make the "LJ user" HTML work in the title... ah well. I'll nose around LJ and find out.)

So I lifted this "Strike-through what you've done before" meme from kcscribbler (who in turn "snitched" it from charleygirl), because I found it darned interesting :o) It's rather long, though - 100 questions :o)

1. Had beer. I keep trying for curiosity’s sake, and I keep not liking it.

2. Smoked an entire cigarette. Never started – I’ve seen what the buggers can do.

3. Smoked a cigar.

4. Done drugs. Is chocolate a drug? :D

5. Write on a bathroom wall. I think I scribbled something short and philosophical (hmm...) on the toilet door in university once.

6. Read a George Orwell book.

7. Had a physical fight. Kicked a boy in the fork because he called my dad an arsehole (after spending hours insulting me) as a kid. The only time in my life I ever hit someone.

8. Used Twitter

9. Listened to Lady Gaga.

10. Been in a car accident. I was too little to properly remember anything other than the colour of our old car, though.

11. Gotten suspended. I got a detention (for forgetting to go to Latin class) once. Does that count?

12. Gotten expelled. From the school library for laughing too loud.

13. Been allergic to something. Antibiotics when I was a kid, and sticking plaster (BandAid) now.

14. Got a computer virus.

15. Touched a real gun. Don’t want to. Too much potentially destructive power in my hands.

16. Had a dog.

17. Had a cat.

18. Been pregnant.

19. Camped out. Summer camp. Folding up tents under heavy rain is no picnic.

20. Swam in the ocean. From a beach and a boat out at sea – the latter is both scary and enjoyable.

21. Wore a bikini. I’m not fond of my body, but I prefer two-piece swimsuits.

22. Driven a car.

23. Been sent to the principal.

24. Ever liked someone. Um … yes? A lot of people, actually...

25. Failed a class. We have a different system here in France, which led to my passing my 3rd-year exams in university while getting a 3/20 mark in (English) Linguistics. I was good enough in other subjects to make up for it.

26. Failed a test. Lots.

27. Went to summer school.

28. Got worse than a D. Oh yes. Here teachers generally grade from 0 to 20; I never got a 0, but I once received a 2,5/20. Not fun.

29. Read an entire book. Are you kidding?

30. Recorded my own music. I sing and strum the guitar a little bit and once fiddled with Audacity and a mike. Not that I’d let anybody listen to it...

31. Had an xbox. Nope. My fiancé had a GameCube, and we currently have a Wii and a PS3, though.

32. Worn heels more than 3 days in a row. Not if I could help it – if it’s really hot, I usually go to work in flat, practical shoes and put the (somewhat) high-heeled sandals there. I’m not sure if it counts.

33. Wore fishnets.

34. Wore skinny jeans. Nah.

35. Been in love.

36. Hated someone. Been bullied in school? Then you know what I mean.

37. Been cheated on.

38. Cheated on someone.

39. Did something sexual with someone of the same sex.

40. Practiced Christianity. When I was a kid, I went through a phase where I liked to go to church with my dad (separated parents), but it stopped when I realised I just wanted to spend time with him and didn’t need church for that. I also realised then that I just didn’t believe in God.

41. Worn makeup.

42. Lied to my parents about where I was going.

43. Had surgery. Had to get a (quite begnin) breast cyst removed once.

44. Had my license.

45. Been to college or university.

46. Graduated high school.

47. Attempted suicide.

48. Worn coloured contacts.

49. Painted my nails black.

50. Broken someone’s heart.

51. Had my heart broken.

52. Cried for an hour straight.

53. Lost something very valuable.

54. Got separated from one of my parents as a kid. My parents actually divorced six years ago (thank goodness) but they were separated long before that.

56. Gotten stung by a bee.

57. Eaten something bad/expired. Turns out cereals get flabby and powder chocolate looses flavour.

58. Threw up from being so drunk.

59. Saw someone throw up from being so drunk.

60. Danced with someone of the opposite sex.

61. Owned an ipod.

62. Owned an iphone.

63. Fell for a best friend. Before realising that my best girl friend had fallen for him long before I did, so I stepped aside, because some things are important.

64. Stole a friend’s significant other.

65. Went far away from home for more than a week. When “home” was my mum’s house, yes, frequently, since my “temporary home” was elsewhere. These days, not so much.

66. Moved out. 3 times with my parents, 3 times on my own, and 3 times with François.

67. Ran away. More like “grabbed my stuff to finish my master’s thesis at home in peace because life with my mum had become hell”. It’s not really running away if you’re doing it at 22. The air cleared up considerably after that.

68. Teased my brother/sister. If you have a kid sister, it’s part of your job requirements, just like the opposite.

69. Been to a hospital. Mostly to see people.

70. Had food poisoning.

71. Had a job.

72. Been fired.

73. Lied to a friend. “He is a horrible person and I hope that he burns in hell for ditching you that way.” Really the guy in question was just a guy who didn’t really know what he wanted, and handled a bad situation in an incredibly awkward manner. But I almost believed it at the time, and anyway that's what you say to a friend in pain.

74. Lied to a family member.

75. Had a Facebook.

76. Posted a video on Youtube.

77. Started a rumor about someone.

78. Talked bad about someone.

79. Dropped out of school.

80. Deliberately failed a test.

81. Been skinny dipping.

82. Counted to a million. I’d never be this bored/patient.

83. Counted to a thousand. See above.

84. Ate rabbit meat. I love it, but you’ve got to watch out for the little bones.

85. Ate duck meat. Cooking duck (and duck or goose foie gras) is a very old culinary tradition in the South West of France, and it’s dee-li-cious.

86. Had fast food.

87. Been to church. See #40; I personally went as far as Confirmation. I also went to church lots of times for weddings, christenings and funerals, and went to a German Protestant temple once for a friend's wedding. It was very interesting.

88. Been to Canada. I crossed the Channel, but not the Atlantic yet.

89. Been married. Sorta. I’m PACSed. It brings rights and responsabilities (less than marriage) between two same- or opposite-sex adults. Ours is the second kind.

90. Had a divorce.

91. Broke a glass. And quite a few plates, too...

92. Hugged someone today. I will as soon as my fiancé gets home from work :o)

93. Texted someone today.

94. Received a phone call today.

95. Threw something out of the window.

96. Ignored a text from someone on purpose. When it’s from a guy I don’t know who wonders why he never gets dates, hell yes. How on Earth did he get my number anyway!?

97. Had my feelings hurt by a friend and never told them.

98. Wished I was somebody else.

99. Gone on exchange.

100. Gotten drunk and made out with a friend.

58 out of 100 – not bad :o)

Still looking for a job... After a week of eventful holidays. We went to Spain, we went to Agen, and to Bordeaux... Lots of fun, but also lots of driving. I can't wait for the Best Beloved to take his driver's licence so we can split the time behind the wheel :o)
