This is a companion post to both my 40 by 40 and my list of things I have done.
Remember that drinking game where someone would say something that they’ve never done and then all the people who have done it stand up or take a drink or both? I didn’t really play it much but I’m sure there were a couple of times and it was fun so we’re going to play it today except you don’t have to tell me if you have done the things I haven’t (unless you want to) and you don’t have to drink if you have (unless you want to. Unless you’re at work. Then maybe that’s a bad idea. Unless you’re a bartender. Then drinking at work is probably okay). I’d prefer if you didn’t judge me on the things I haven’t done but I can’t stop you so try not to judge me too much.
Alrighty then.
- Gotten a tattoo
- Watched an Indiana Jones movie
- Drank Mountain Dew (it looks like something someone in a comic book would fall into and come out a supervillian)
- Changed a tire by myself
- Been arrested (or thrown in the drunk tank)
- Stayed awake for 24 straight hours
- Read the Harry Potter books (or Twilight or Divergent)
- Had short hair
- Gotten a massage
- Attended a professional basketball game
- Been on a cruise
- Played Cards Against Humanity (which I do realize is a crime against humanity)
- Watched an episode of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Real Housewives of Anywhere, or Big Brother
- Eaten a Big Mac
- Gone horseback riding (clarification: because I am TERRIFIED of horses)
- Cooked on a barbecue (I have eaten at a barbecue. I have never cooked on the actual grill because, like horses, I am terrified of them)
Bonus: I’ve never whistled because I can’t.
That’s all I can think of right now. I’m sure there’s more, particularly in the never watched or read and when I think of them, I’ll write them down and then maybe I’ll do a part 2.
Your turn. What are some things you’ve never done?
