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.

Hey! You are alive! I was wondering where you got to. Roadkill in driver's ed? Damn. We just had a girl who would get fixated on the car coming toward us and we'd suddenly be sliding into its lane. :) That was scary enough.

Duke basketball certainly can be worthy of poetry. Saturday's game sure as hell wasn't, tho.

You are much more exciting than I.

Willing to post that Duke basketball poem for us? I'd like to read it.

Heath Shuler? Yeouch...

Something tells me Vandy still lost that game though.
