10 things meme

[raefinlay]

10. Hiked to the top of Yosemite's Half Dome and back in under 6 hours.
9. Caught brooktrout on several occasions with bare hands.
8. Had a night on the town with three transsexuals.
7. Skinny-dipped in public lake in broad daylight.
6. Had a pet wolf.
5. Watched mom give birth to baby sister in master bedroom. (even boiled the water)
4. Pulled over on freeway to pick up nice roadkill fox pelt.
3. Taught self to speak Spanish by watching Mexican soap operas.
2. Foolishly kissed off most high school and college friends due to long-term commitment issues.
1. Visited hospital three times in relation to position as outside linebacker on college flag football team.

Geesh, that took some thinking. Someone should start a meme about 10 greatest failures. Or 10 most ordinary things about yourself. Those would be easy lists to write.

Mexican soap operas are a rich source of cultural heritage. :-)

Yes! How else would I have learned to say "I dwell in darkness without you" in Spanish??

I have no understanding of Spanish myself (will begin to change that starting with a class on Tuesday night), but does your telenovela version of the language involve a lot of face-slapping?

Of course. Face slapping and much love for my mother.

Good. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has skinny dipped before (in broad daylight). Mine, at least, was the ocean.
