dammit yibbyl!
Okay. I've been tagged It, thanks to that fine young man, yibbyl.
Ten things I've never done:
1) given birth, though I assisted in the birth of my goddaughter Sophia Marija, and it was an honor to serve her mother thus and witness Soph's water-bourne arrival.
2) bungee-jumped. Oh, I bragged that I would if we could take a side-trip from Oz to New Zealand (knowing we couldn't arrange such a thing) but since it didn't happen, I didn't jump, nor will I.
3) met a celebrity, formally. I did once almost walk right into Springsteen at the Inkwell in Long Branch, NJ, in 1970-something. I've met and spent a week with Harold Ramis' wife. Marilu Henner brushed my sleeve at a women's conference. But no introductions, alas. (Oh, wait! I lied! I met and spent a week with Meg Tilly. Hmm. How interesting I would forget about that. Heh. So I'll have to amend this one: I've never formally met a certifiably sane celebrity.) Then again, I had my 15 minutes of fame on a local access cable show. I won't EVER do that again.
4) I've never hiked any of the Appalachian Trail. I blame hobbitt. I had plans to do so right when he showed up in my bed. I would say life, but I'd known him for some time before he arrived in my bed.
5) I've never been to Europe.
6) I've never slept with a black man.
7) I've never been arrested. It helps that I've never really committed much of a crime, except for some shameful acts of driving while intoxicated in my youth. Oh, and the broccoli thing. Some trespassing. Statutory rape, underage drinking, urinating in public, exceeding the speed limit. Things like that.
8) I've never eaten octopus or squid, or conch, or snails. Never never never!
9) I've never gone scuba diving, though I had the chance at the Great Barrier Reef. I could not get the hang of breathing under water, and I bailed so as not to make the excursion too abbreviated for the other three people diving with the instructor, due to my likely panic attack.
10) I've never raised a kitten. Someday, maybe.
And now, in the interests of torturing others (lookey! I spelled it correctly!) I tag my dear friend Triskele, and my favorite couple, Aalln and Aiolsn.

D'OH!!! Ok....and wasn't Meg at that conference with Dena Metzger, or do I remember incorrectly?
You are quite right, P. It was indeed at Pine Mountain with Deena. (So was the Harold Ramis' wife thing, the year before.) And I shouldn't say that the celebrity in question was not sane. But she wasn't on any wavelength in which I could communicate.
Gee thanks. First Nook, and now you.
I'll do it. Eventually.
Harumph.
Who the hell is Aiolsn? Alaln! Are you seeing another woman?!!!!
Okay, chick. I've started working on my "Never been there or done that" list.
You're missing out on the octopus! It's yummy, especially in a light soup with a clear liquid with hot, Korean peppers. I'd give the name of the dish if I knew it...it's kind of a Korean seafood soup/stew.
