March 02, 2005 2:30 PM- only ten?
It's true. I don't often do memes. But I liked this one.
Found it chez Lizzie who saw it chez Terry who picked it up from Eve.
Ten Things I Have Done That You Probably Haven't
1. Left the Fenway in the fourth inning of a World Series game because it was "boring." (No, the guy that slept in the street the night before to get tickets never asked me out again).
2. On a small street in Paris covered in vines, I climbed up the front of my foyer (because it was 3 a.m. and the curfew was 11 p.m.) to my first floor room (in heels, mini-skirt and drunk) with two firemen I had met while clubbing to come face to face with Sister Marguerite, the woman who ran the place who happened to be a nun. And a nazi.
3. Stepped on Rudolf Nureyev's foot. (His fault, totally).
4. Was voted class president in 5th grade and was impeached three days later. (I chose not to resign gracefully).
5. Had someone ask for my autograph. (I gave it to them).
6. Told Liza Minelli her scene was great. (It was a total lie).
7. Helped Jennifer Grey choose a bra.
8. Told Joel Grey that I knew every song of "Goodtime Charley" by heart and he said (with scorn), "you're the only one who does."
9. Stepped on Oscar de la Rente's foot. (I am NOT clumsy, I swear).
10. Got seven stitches in my thumb without novocaine. (I wanted to see how strong I was. The last two almost made me pass out! The PA who was giving me the stiches almost passed out herself.)
Now, YOU go and tell the world your ten things . . .
OR, better yet, click on the link below to go to Mihow's self-portrait day site and check out T! (hmmm, sure hope he doesn't get mad that I posted him there and called him an "uber-mensch." Well, I tried to balance it out and called myself "high-maintenance"-- which we all know I'm so not. I just have special needs, non?).
got 2 cents?

you should squish every one of these things into one 30 minute sitcom episode. the main difficulties would be the journey time between fenway and paris, and 5th grade and sneaking in at 3 AM with firemen. i would stand and applaud when the credits rolled.

Hey! I had to make a stealthy entrance in Paris at 3a.m. before! Only not with the fireman...and fortunately my chaperones were none the wiser. Neither was my roommate who was getting it on with some guy on my bed for that matter.

What *is* it about firemen, anyway? What a wonderful set of ten things, and I certainly can't duplicate any of them. In fact, I couldn't even do the meme my own little pathetic self, because I couldn't imagine that I'd done ten things that nobody else was likely to have done. But your list: a classic! (And thanks for the vote for the fish!)

You have a lot of connections to the cast of Cabaret, it seems...

clutzy "bigfoot" girl says:
oh gimmy-- it confirms just the opposite! Am so not cool. But for the record, I've never liked Joel Grey ever since-- I'm sure it was a funny or self-deprecating comment but it pissed me off. Grrrr.

Pfft. 7 stitiches doesn't impress me. But 8 stitiches...THAT'S pain tolerance.

I did the list thing too. It was a lot harder than I thought it'd be. And here I always believed I was so original.

amber says:
I had seven stitches in my left pointer finger, and I nearly passed out from the novocaine shot that they shoot INTO the wound. BP and gimmy, you are either much braver (or dumber) than I was :)

bp says:
um, darling Auntie M, you do realize I sent the photo in to Mihow and wrote up that "faux" questionnaire on behalf of T, yes? because for the record, he would never refer to himself as an "uber-mensch" and lucky for me he is away on vacation or he might see all of this and have another, less endearing term for his wife than "high maintenance" . .

melanie says:
I went to Paris with my parents and they could only hope that I would hook up with some firemen because at least that would have meant that I wasn't dating "asshole" (my fathers name for the boy I was dating at the time). But alas, nothing happened.
I don't think I could do a 10 things list. Maybe a 5. I will have to think about it.

Auntie M says:
BP, Ah...I'm a bit slow at times. My husband would definitely say something similiar.. at least about the high-maintenance wife! Will try to keep up with you next time!
