Ten Things I've Done that You Probably Haven't (and if you have, do tell!)

[vvvexation]

Seen in several people's journals, but I like cyan_blue's title the best.

At various times in my life, I have:

1. Snitched an entire cream pie from a school dining hall
2. Attended the funeral of someone I'd never met
3. Gatecrashed a couple of complete strangers' wedding reception
4. Sung in an opera
5. Joined the drum circle in Sproul Plaza
6. Won a medal at a state archery tournament
7. Had Douglas Hofstadter sign my birth certificate
8. Recited "Jabberwocky" in full while simultaneously writing out something completely unrelated using a friend's back for a desk
9. Stayed in a dorm with Kelsey Grammer's daughter
10. Had to explain that goth != asexual

Details and elaborations, of course, available by request.

#7 is also the one that I had questions about...more please?
#6 reminds me of the summer I went to camp with my cousin and we pretended not to be ditching archery.


#2 is actually true for me as well, more than once, but they were a combination of professional obligations and going to support a sweetie.

He came to speak here my freshman year or so, and I happened to have it on me although I didn't have any of his books on hand. He was amused.

Did he sign it "This is Doug Hofstadter's signature" or something suitably self-referential?

Were you the one who asked me that a while ago?

No, he didn't.

I knew there was something eerie about that comment.

Apparently it's a looping topic.

*groan* And now you've made it a self-referential loop.
