I found this list of *150* "What Have You Done?" things on Carrie's blog. You're suppose to copy it and then BOLD the ones you've done.

you could always tell us about the trip you took over the weekend -- I'm sure that was plenty exciting. . . .
I love those! I did one too on my blog earlier this month. Like you, I got it from someone else, lol!
Here's the link: http://happy-jeannie.blogspot.com/2008/11/soooo-you-think-youve-lived.html
I love it! And I have to say, I would not have guessed you had a piercing other than your ear. Also, I would love to hear about the time you sat a strangers table in a restaurant.
This is great Jennifer!
wow - i think alot of these things probably have great stories that go along with them! and ditto on the drama...
You know. Everyday as I struggle to come up with something to write about. I say a small prayer of thanks. Because there is little happening here. And with little happening, that means that drama isn't part of it.
And you can see how I grasp at straws today when I managed to make an entire post out of watching a dvd with the red cord pulled out of the tv...so the colors were off :-)
I've seen this list, too. I don't think I've done enough to make it even remotely interesting :-)
Man - my list was only 99 long...
You got me!!
Wow, you've had some interesting experiences. I'm feeling pretty dull now. :)
You have had lots of fun!
that was fun! We always knew you were exciting!
Now go eat sushi for goodness sake!
Love this!!! You and another bloggy friend BOTH put up these lists today!! What fun! I WILL be doing this for sure.
PS. How about #140???? How many people have seriously written their own computer language???? That one cracked me up!
Ok...should've read your comments...the other bloggy friend is Lizzy!!! Go check hers out when you get a minute...funny!
Magson--
It wasn't all that exciting--but I'll put photos up on Friday.
Carrie--
The other piercing was in my cheek! Also--it was totally customary in Germany that if the restaurant was full and you had room at your table--they would sit other people (strangers) with you, or you with them. Sat at many a strangers table to dine. It was always fun....or not.....depending on the people!
Lee Ann--
Crazy that I haven't done sushi, huh? If I were starving--really, really starving I'd give it a whirl :)!
Cool list. Interesting... You have lived a neat life.
Lisa Q
Wooah, you've done a lot of cool things! For example, "Danced with a stranger in a foreign country"!
Wow! That's one heck of a list. You should try sushi!! It's really, really good and good for you:-)
I've done 85.
Lets plan a trip to Ireland, the Great Wall or to climb the Tower of Pisa. We could also take turns flying the plane to our destination a cross off another item from the list.
oh how I love a good list :o)
~simply~
What a great idea. In looking over that though I decided I probably shouldn't do this for a post because I'm really boring. I may give it a go, so I can encourage myself to do more. But if I'm going to be adventurous, I guess we better think about updating our will.
i'm gonna have to get crackin' i haven't done too much on that list (though i have eaten sushi and i LOVE sushi...you need to have some!)
I have soooo much catching up to do.
Know where I've had inappropriate fits of the uncontrollable giggles? In the temple. Yes I am so reverent.
I want to do this but then everyone would know about my tatoos. Hmmm, should I?
how interesting. not necessarily a list of things you want to do. just simply a list of things done. I like the concept very much--and it was super interesting to read. Like you, I was surprised to find how many I have done.
Hope you don't mind--I am going to steal this list and post it on my blog :) too much fun to pass up! thanks for sharing! (or not minding my stealing, at least...!)
Sigh. I have never eaten mushrooms that were gathered in the wild or eaten kangaroo meat. I guess I just haven't lived. But "Fried Green Tomatoes" is one of my favorite movies. Does that count?
I agree with Annaliese that this is a great concept to focus on what was done rather than lament over what wasn't done.
I also want to hear some of the great stories... like tell us about the time you sat down to eat with a stranger and asked them out!
I have played D&D for 6+ hours, but I'm not certain that should be on a list I'm PROUD of :).
Tiffany T,
You'll have to go visit my bloggy friend Summer to get the story on asking out strangers. It was all her doing :)! (What were their names again....Jason....and Franklin?). The eating with strangers story is in my other comment ;)
I'm gonna do it :)
Oh man. I am bor-hor-ing.
Fun list!
You may just be realizing that you're not boring, but a lot of us have known that you are exciting for a long time. You'll have to tell us about saving someone's life. And not about holding a tarantula, please!
Sorry the trip was less then stellar. I only had about 5-6 things that were off from what you had, could we be twins? Or maybe I am living vicariously through you, I hope not. I think that it took me much longer than you to figure things out. It was a happy monday. I hope it was for you too!!!
What a fun list! You are FAR more exciting than me!!!
This is a fun tag. I did it on my blog as well. You have done a lot of amazing things!
I FINALLY made it!!!!!!!! It took me SO LONG!!! I've had this particular post up at least three times, and each and every time, when I sat down to read it, I would only get as far as the title, and then be interrupted. Elena called me today, and asked, "did you read Jennifer's blog yet?" I said, Uh oh...no...
I see the title from the other one, and decided to go here first....and prepare myself. I think I like this one better.....before I even read your other one.
Well...deep breath....here I go. This was a fun post btw....
