This is a good one- I'll have to give it a whirl.
Skinny dipping indeed. Yawza!
Merry Christmas.
might steal this one k :P:)
The most interesting part of this list is the perspective it offers on the culture/people who wrote it. Travel, in particular in the USA, ranks very highly. It also has an urban focus as many things that would be hardly be considered noteworthy in the country are mentioned (grown own veggies, slept under stars, skinny dipping).
TD
Ooo I'm stealing this too. I like the memes where I'm not tagged, because then I get to pick which one's I want to participate in.
Girl, that's a LONG list. Many of them are interesting and some of them are hmmm weird. How did "had food poison" get in the same list with "seen Michelangelo’s David"?
We should have so totally gone to The Mint for karaoke on Friday. It would have been less stressful than shopping with me!
Joyce, fun to see your responses!
Oh, GB, leave it to you to draw attention to my sordid past ... ;)
Mariella, steal away! See, I prefer memes this way where you can just choose to do them or not!
TD, I see what you mean, though with the travel there is an awful lot of stuff that relates to travel in Europe ... three in Paris alone! But yes, I do imagine that this meme was written by an American.
Beany, I'm with you. Steal away.
Cindy, I know, it's a little weird. But FUN! And now you know weird facts about me!!
Beth, OMG, next time we get together, we're going to have to karaoke. I seriously *love* karaoke.
I'm going to borrow this one... I have nothing to post about tonight and work for the holidays that I'm trying to avoid. Thanks for the inspiration :) Enjoy your break from school!
