Things I haven’t done, that you probably think I have<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Downhill skiing<\/strong><\/em> My parents took us once when we were kids and I hated it. I totally don’t understand the appeal. It is cold, windy, difficult, why would you want that?<\/li>\n
  2. Spent large amounts of time in Canada<\/em> <\/strong>You would think, since I live in a border state, that I would have been there a bunch of times. In fact, I have been 2 or 3 times. My parents claim we went when I was a child. We ate lunch just over the border when my sister was visiting her boyfriend at camp. We spent our honeymoon in Montreal. That’s it. 3 times. I’ve been to Cancun more times than that.<\/li>\n
  3. Smoked pot <\/strong><\/em>I never really saw the need. I had a roommate in college that did, but she was not all that into peer pressure. I was in the room sometimes when my friends smoked up, but I never tried it. It probably has something to do with my pessimistic nature: I’d get caught; I don’t need the muchies to eat too much; I’d get sick; I would do something stupid.<\/li>\n
  4. Had a lot of jobs<\/strong> My parents owned their own businesses when I was growing up (still do) and my dad figured I should work for them.\u00a0 So when I was younger (okay, it wasn’t a real job) I worked in the store, stocking shelves, collecting empties, running the register.\u00a0 You know, they sold the store when I was twelve, but I was still a better cashier and bagger than the kids who work in our grocery stores.\u00a0 When I got older I had a lot of tasks around the appraisal office (in our house).\u00a0 I sorted, labeled, recorded photos.\u00a0 I photocopied and filed appraisals.\u00a0 I have only had 4 “real” jobs outside of the family, but that is a list for another day.<\/li>\n
  5. Seen a lot of plays<\/strong> I enjoy doing theater, but it has to be really good for me to sit through a performance.\u00a0 I’ve seen more than your average person, but not as many as I should have seen considering my love for it.<\/li>\n
  6. Read many “classics”<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 Mark Twain called a ‘classic’ a book that everyone praises but which no one actually reads.\u00a0 I have always been more of a current culture sort of girl.\u00a0 I have read some of those books others would call classics: Little House on the Prairie<\/em>, Little Women<\/em>, David Copperfield<\/em>.\u00a0 But I prefer modern fiction.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
