For Fun: I bet I'm the only...

Darn it!

I'm sure yours was better done! I am both regretful and delighted that no pictures exist.

I used to be able to do this, used to being the key word there.

I got a lot of practice in my 20s. If the teachers at my very conservative high school had known just how often one of the school's time-honored traditional requirements for graduation was being used as a drunken party trick, they would have been mortified.

Selu, mine actually has a long story - made in my home ec class, then cut by a jealous girl because I was a sophomore going with a senior and then our pictures turned out AWFUL! My mom found that I still have it when we moved this month and she was mortified. It wasn't cleaned properly afterwards and it discolored but I just can't part with it. SIGH.

That is to funny, I'm sure there are many things teachers have taught us that they were be mortified about now.

Oh prom drama! You definitely need to keep it.

I bet I'm the only one ...

who is her own 3rd cousin (my parents are 1st cousins, yes they knew but they didn't grow up together - only met 1 or 2 times -- still weird and I don't understand it).
whose father-in-law wanted her to get her nose pierced before the wedding
whose step-mother was also her 2nd grade teacher (and formerly her mother's best friend)

you can also add me to the list of never smoked anything. I hung out w/all the "bad kids" (the goth/punk rock version) in high school and spent a lot of time ferrying their stoned butt around but I never partook).

- can recite the prologue to the Canterbury Tales in Middle English.

Ha! Also had to memorize this in HS, but promptly forgot it.

I'm pretty sure DH can still do that.

Sorry Cassy, not quite at a public share point. I admire those who have been able to do that. I'm not one of them. It has been a big deal for me to occasionally allude to it here. In the past I have deleted any reference at a later time. It's too bad it makes others uncomfortable, like they need to rescue (they don't) or like I'm vying for attention (I'm not). I'm working hard with a therapist to own my history and I feel like I have made enough personal progress that I can finally name this and be happy at the same time.

Me too! The only thing I remember is there's a part in there about a holy blissful martyr because I really liked to say the word "martyr" with a ridiculously thick Irish accent (which in my head was close enough to an old English accent)

[Thirteen]

I can too on the Canterbury Tales!

I've also never mowed a lawn and own shoes that cost over $600.

I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who
- was born in Ukraine
- is fluent in Russian
- learned to drive at 25
- can eat pickles with anything (including ice cream) but only while not pregnant

We had an exchange student from Poltava live with us for a year and I took Russian in high school and college. Nowhere near fluent anymore, though.

I am a HUGE pickles fan. I can/do eat them with anything except peanut butter. The same goes for jalapeno peppers!

[corn poffi]

I have eaten an entire jar of pickles in one sitting. On more than one occasion.

LOL I have eaten an entire jar of jalapenos in one sitting on more than one occasion! The hotter the better!

I don't know any foreign languages either and I almost got you on the airplane too.
