It also occurs to me that, in many, many ways, you are nearly my exact opposite. Yin to my yang. Remus to my Romulus. Cain to my Able. Jacob to my Esau. Christian Slater to my Kevin Bacon.
Bizzaro me.
Madam, you may well be the Anti-Proctor.

I've never:
1. Watched Star Wars.
2. Traveled outside of North America.
3. Mowed a lawn or used a snow blower.

So, you see yourself as the more successful, less evil twin to Gennimom?
I hope she sics Gennidaughter on you. I hear that girl has a mean bite.

Like gennimom, I've done most of the things listed on this thread (although certainly not all of them). Then again, I'm older than most (or all?) of you; maybe by the time you're my age, you'll have done most of these things, too.

Oh, don't misunderstand. I make no claims as to "evil" and even fewer about "successful." I'm not, on the whole, even sure what those words mean anymore. Lexical moving targets, I think. I suppose both depend on how you scratch it (or which side you're pulling for). I am, I must admit, more than slightly intimidated by the idea of a bite from a "gennidaughter." I avow that I would regard a survivor of such (let alone anyone who has endured it multiple times) with genuine awe. The images that scenario awakens in me are both mythic and apocalyptic. |

1) Ordered a martini (or developed a taste for them, though I can make a mean one, so I've been told, which is not too hard to do, since it's just gin, vermouth, and olives).
2) Purchased a pet.
3) Paid for my own airplane ticket.

I may have missed some posts, but it seems like I've done at least one of the things listed on other people's lists.
I've been busy!
Wow, that's still pretty vague. I mean, from a survey of the list, you could be a quiet soul who remembers fondly childhood vacations to the Grand Canyon and Niagra Falls, worked her way through college as a waitress, doesn't go to parties or bars but stays home to enjoy Prairie Home Companion on Saturday evenings. Or You could be the kind of person who had sex in the grandstands of a Nascar event in Spain with a guy you met in a bar while you were hopped up on "magic beans," all before going home to slam back martinis, peruse the Washington Post and feed the ferret. I'm not sayin'! ;) Clearly, JP hasn't yet met gennidad. *LOL* |

Good enough, JP?
It's certainly more clear (once I adjusted for the "double negative" aspect of the whole list. Helps if you squint). But I have to say, the earlier aura of mystery (which, I have to confess, was not only engaging but invested you, in an odd way, with an interesting type of gravitas) is, alas, now spoilt. Ah, well, I can't win! Yeah, Octoprof is right. GD is worse than I am! |

Wow, how did this post get so long before I even noticed it!
1) I have never eaten a marshmallow. I tried to once but spit it out.
2) I've never owned a car that wasn't a stick shift.
3) I've never used an illegal drug...I didn't even drink alcohol until I was of age.

Ditto. Plus 1. I've never been to the Grand Canyon, Niagra Falls, the Black Hills, Sequoia National Forest, or Lake Woebegone. 2. I've never been downhill skiing. 3. I've never had a martini and, like someone else above, I can make a knee-shattering one despite that. 4. I've Never Been To Me. |
