Everyone else is doing it...

I'm not sure whether I can come up with 10 things I've done that nobody on my friends list has done, but I'll try:

1. Been honored at an AMIT dinner
2. Made a special trip to NY to see Fantasia 2000 on an IMAX screen
3. Entered the Wilton Design-a-Cake contest
4. Spun off a highway at 85 MPH (without damage to me or the car, thank G-d)
5. Initiated correspondence with an artist in France (Had to amend that one after remembering that palmwiz and civic_oracle later served as translators...)
6. Made potpourri out of home-grown rose petals
7. Won first prize in the Best of InScribe contest
8. Had a pass to a Harvard parking lot
9. Attended a friend's wedding on crutches
10. Been asked by a leading designer if she can duplicate my wedding invitation

Don't know if those are as exciting as what other people came up with, but that's what I can think of at the moment...

BZZZZZZ! I've done #4, but with damage to the car.

OK, so that's a half-match... I should have been more specific!

Unfortunately, I've done #4. Only it did a lot of damage to me and totalled the car.

So that's a partial match... I should have phrased it more carefully, I guess!

I work at Harvard, and I can't get a parking lot pass. (I suppose I could if I were patient enough, but I hate driving into Cambridge.)

I was working there at the time; specifically, at the Harvard Hillel. The pass was one of the few perqs... albeit a nice one. :-)

I've done #9. Somehow, I doubt this would surprise you. :-)

[vettecat.livejournal.com]

I should have expected that! :-)

Ooh, 3 sounds neat! What kind of cake did you make?

[vettecat.livejournal.com]

I submitted the cake I made for sdavido's birthday party ... not my most polished, but it was kind of fun and different. (Here's a close-up if you want more detail.)

I bet I know the one about the wedding and crutches...I guess it was memorable.
I still feel bad about that.

I still regret missing the ceremony, too... but at least I made it there!
