it's a miracle, a cosmic miracle

Have you ever done something you told yourself you wouldn’t? 

    that accounts for much of what passed for entertainment as a late teen and 20-something. The cognitive difference between sober me and drunk me is enormous.

Have you ever laughed until something you were drinking came out your nose? 

     I had to be careful when Chris and I drank together, because he was so prone to saying snort-worthy stuff at just the wrong moment. If I wasn't paying attention, I'd end up with vodka lemonade shooting out my nose—that burns!

Have you ever slept with someone at least 5 years older or younger? 

    yes

Have you ever kissed in the rain? 

    I have not

Have you ever made out in a park? 

    no—I don't think so?

Have you ever dreamed that you married someone? 

    yes

Have you ever glued your hand to something? 

    no, but I did get superglue in my eye once, which kept me from using the plane ticket I'd bought to go to Las Vegas because my eye doctor told me the pressure might exacerbate the blood vessel bursting I'd already suffered.

Have you ever got your tongue stuck to a flag pole? 

    of course. I was the gullible younger sibling!

Have you ever ever gone to school partially naked? 

    uhm, no?? Is that something that other people have done?

Have you ever been a cheerleader? 

    I really couldn't be less of a cheerleader.

Have you ever sat on a roof top? 

    a college boyfriend had a top-floor apartment with roof access. He liked to go out there while drinking and I joined him a couple of times. Since I'm afraid of heights, though, it never held much appeal for me.

Have you ever been too scared to watch scary movies alone? 

    I don't watch scary movies in the dark...
