Twenty-four things...

...I thought would be fun but then they just weren't (as stolen from Schmutzie)

1. Taking a grad class, bellydancing, voice lessons, acting in a musical, working full-time, and preparing for my Royal Conservatory of Music Grade 9 singing exam at the same time.
2. Eating a plate-sized portion of prime rib after not eating red meat for a year.
3. Flushing that panty liner when I couldn't find a garbage.
4. Playing "gas station" with mom's car using beer bottles full of water as the gas.
5. Falling in love with someone who was still hung up on his ex.
6. Dying my hair fire engine red with a product that claimed it would wash out in a week, one week before starting a new, professional-type job.
7. Leaving writing a 20-page grad paper until two days before it was due.
8. Buying a house down the street from my best friend (a few months before she and her live-in boyfriend split and he took the house)
9. Attempting to communicate with my incestuous Italian cousin who couldn't speak English and interpreted everything I said as confirmation that I was going to have sex with him.
10. Leaving a bottle of @dvil on the counter within reach of two mischevous cats and a clueless dog with a taste for sugary coatings.
11. Telling my significant other that his penis is about the same size as my favourite vibrator.
12. Doing my ironic ditzy blonde routine (head tilt, blank stare, mindless giggle) for people who didn't know me well enough to realize the irony or the fact that it was a joke at all.
13. Making out with the guy at the political convention with "ARM THE WORKERS!" written in black marker on his canvass bag.
14. Sharing intimate details of my life with that gal who listens sympathetically and then tells everyone about what you said and trashes you behind your back.
15. Badmouthing that well-known journalist with a chip on his shoulder who has a way of finding out these things and has a penchant for revenge.
16. Taking an unstable term job right out of university at a non-profit organization that paid only $1,300 a month, because I thought it was noble.
17. Taking a job at a big, soulless corporation because it paid well and had good status.
18. Putting in one of those Instead cups when I was really angry with my lover.
19. Making fun of that girl when I thought she was asleep.
20. Convincing my little brother he really wanted to take the oboe in band class because I thought it sounded cool.
21. Making out with that guy in front of all those cops.
22. Changing who I was to please someone I was dating who wasn't even worth my time.
23. Spending $2,000 on a bed without measuring whether said bed would fit up my stairs and into my bedroom.
24. Smoking a joint that was potentially laced with something nasty at a house party where I didn't really know anyone.
