own a gun
get a spray tan in a dark shade of orange
walk on hot coals
spiritual pilgrimage that involves a lot of walking
wrestle and alligator

anyone else?

hmm... these are things that WOULD be on my list...

*I'd like to be a fancy chef, but my mom already does that so...
*I DO own a gun...lots of guns actually.. (and trophies for sharpshooting...and archery, as well...)
*I HAVE walked on hot coals...not that bad
*I WOULD LOVE to attempt to wrestle a gator...i <3 gators...lol

Okay, let's see...what do I NOT want to do...
*become a politician
*have a hot needle poked into my cornea
*jump out of a plane...(deathly afraid of heights)
*be covered in honey while tied to a stake over an ant hill
*have to (discreetly) tell my 84 year old grandmother (AGAIN) that her swimsuit was in a "reverse" thong position <--what has been seen can never be unseen *shudder*
*be featured on an episode of Unsolved Mysteries OR America's Most Wanted
*wake up in a bathtub full of ice with a slight "pain" in my side...
*run the NYC marathon
*wander upon a hungry raging grizzly in the forest

This list could go on and on...

Okay, I've done these. Actually, I had four years of Latin, two of which were AP. If I'd applied myself, I'd be a doctor or pharmacist by now.

You got it. My housekeepers work harder than anyone I know that isn't employed by the military in some form or function. I also refuse to let folks call them maids. They're not your damn maids, bud. They work for the hotel, NOT *you*. My point being, I'm too lazy to clean other people's homes for a living, though it can be a good living because there are soooo many others like me who don't clean a lot.

Liver is evil. That is all.

These sound really cool. I think you should totally audition for AGT.

that's all I can think of right now.

I am loving other people's lists right now.

I'd cut off something important before moving back with my dad and stepmom because a boredom related death is especially cruel.

I've been in jail, though I don't have a record (Field trip, anyone? That counts, right?). I've eaten squirrel, though not by my free will or choice. I've owned several guns and, though I know the basics, I haven't shot any of the ones I've owned. Weird.

I'm afraid of heights but love whirlybird rides. Weeeee!

Part of me wants to skydive. Another part wants to live.

I've eaten oysters and have lived with someone who was in a Frederick's catalog once. I've also played chicken with a train. It was kind of exhilerating.

I could do without being in a life-threatening situation at the hands of another or chewing glass. Road rash is not something I'm keen to discover. Trampoline rash was bad enough. Um, I like pictures of the desert, but I really could do with never going there.

OMG Blade! I was at an outside church event when I was a teenager and I pulled a hair pin out of my hair and was going to stick it inside the bottom of a light pole, where there was a plug at the base. Some guy stopped me...damn good thing he did!

You all are funny.

Rebuild a car
Give money to someone that is NONE deserving
Become cold hearted.
Become self serving.
Become complacent with other peoples needs.
Become a home body.
Become my mother.

Become a Proctologist
Run for President
Ask for no pain killers if having teeth drilled.
Deliver a baby cow.
