Bowing to peer pressure

[kellinator]

Or, I haven't written anything interesting on LJ in forever and I've already told most of these stories but what the hell, I'm bored.

Ten things I've done that you probably haven't:

1. Beat Ken Jennings at Final Jeopardy. (Unfortunately for my pride and my bank account, that was all I beat him at.)
2. Fallen asleep in the DNA Lounge in San Francisco. While the music was still going, even.
3. Held a book that Anne of Cleves gave to Henry VIII as a wedding present.
4. Gotten kicked out of grad school. Not dropped out, kicked out.
5. Given a romance novel a negative review that was then twisted to sound like a positive review and quoted in the author's next book.
6. Accepted a marriage proposal made over a telnet chat program.
7. Gotten trashed at the administrative headquarters of my university while still underage, under the eyes of the campus police.
8. Gotten a small crowd of Vandy students seated in the end zone to yell "Another Heath Shuler" at Peyton Manning during a football game.
9. Placed in a high-school poetry contest... with a poem about Duke basketball.
10. Scored my first roadkill in a driver's ed class.

Yeah, Evan and I figured out that was Ron L. who was making the insane catches

Yeah, it was Jim's arms that made the X possible. Hee hee. You're just banned.

Evan says talking about you reminds him of Kingdom of Loathing but he can't log in.

Ron, that's the one. Now I have the names+faces right.

Heh, Jim's arms are insanely long. He could practically wrap them around me twice when he hugged me.

Tell Evan to keep trying, it took me about 7 tries the first time I logged in. I think it tries a bunch of different servers.

On that note, I have GOT to go to bed. I added you :)

At some points, there may have been three Asian guys playing frisbee that summer, a 5'8" guy without glasses (Joe L.), a 5'10" guy with glasses (Charles L., me), and a 5'8" bigger guy with or without glasses (Ron L.) Evan and I can't remember for sure if Joe L. played frisbee or not (he definitely played basketball with us).

I added you too. =) Miss Kelly Ann is going to wake up tomorrow to find a FLOOD in her inbox from lj comments.

Time to sleep here too. In fact, I should have slept like an hour and a half ago. Doorknob ankle cold. This message thread is wearing thin, I've run out of luck, time for me to retire now, and become a duck. =)

I don't think I met an Asian Joe. Marcos remembers you tho -- the first thing he said was "You mean the one with the bad puns?" :)
