10 things I've never done (that you probably have)

[vvvexation]

The flip side of the previous meme, by way of tsgeisel.

I've never:

1. Had an entire drink of something alcoholic. (Half a drink seems to be about my limit.)
2. Gotten my driver's license.
3. Had a cavity.
4. Had any acute illness worse than a really bad cold or stomach flu.
5. Had sex with someone I was in love with.
6. Made enough money in one year for the IRS to care about.
7. Eaten a peanut butter and jelly sandwich [edit: or a plain peanut butter sandwich, either] (at least not that I can recall, though I suppose I might have tried one once when I was little).
8. Worn eye makeup voluntarily. (Okay, so most a lot of the guys reading this probably haven't either. You don't count.)
9. Had my hair cut to less than shoulder length.
10. Lived in a dwelling whose inhabitants were all one gender.

This was tougher to come up with than the other list, probably because positives are so much easier to notice than negatives.

Haven't done #8 either.

[vvvexation.livejournal.com]

Ach, should've known.

[tsgeisel.livejournal.com]

I think I can join you in 5, so long as "love" is used in the traditional romantic sense, and in retrospect (looked like love, more likely infatuation), and without reservation on number 7.

Actually, you may have enough actor/theater friends that number 8 isn't *so* meaningless for men.

[tsgeisel.livejournal.com]

Oh, and number 4, too.

[japlady.livejournal.com]

oh honey! #5 is just so sad.....

[vvvexation.livejournal.com]

Eh, well, I have high hopes of crossing that one off in the not-too-distant future.

[eeyore42.livejournal.com]

I hope so. It's dangerous but worth it. *hugs*

2), 4), and 10)

Notice that I didn't mark 8.

[kaligrrrl.livejournal.com]

put me down for 2 too. I've never driven at all.

[aaangyl.livejournal.com]

I've done all of those. Though #8 was short-lived and #9 is a fairly new thing for me still.

[aleeceh.livejournal.com]

Close on #3. I had two fillings in my baby teeth. My adult teeth are cavity-free at 38. Never had any need for orthodonture either. Dentists call their staff in to look at my mouth. Just good tooth genes, I guess. I can't claim it's from putting a great deal of effort into superior dental hygiene.

1. Mmm wine...
2. Took me longer than most, but only til 17. I got my license only because I scared the crap out of the evaluator enough that she gave it to me, I think, just so she didn't have to risk testing me again. Anyways, I deserved it... after all, I didn't actually hit any of those kids!
3. Way too many.
4. Bronchitis.
5. You have, however, had sex with someone who was in love with you. *hugs*
6. It's been one extreme or the other for me.
7. Wow. I mean, wow.
8. I have.
9. Shaved head.
10. Done that once. Gods, the place was a mess!

7. What can I say? I never have liked peanut butter.

[ocicat.livejournal.com]

Done all of those.

Regretted #9 though.

I have applied eye makeup to myself.

However, usually when I ended up on stage, I didn't need it, because my eyebrows are already freakishly noticeable and my eyelashes strikingly long.

I also didn't get my driver's license until I was 21, and went through three learners permits until I did. And I hadn't driven a car on three successive days until last February, at age 24.

I haven't done #3 either. And my first single-sex dwelling was when I got my own appartment, since everything else was my parents' house and residence halls.

[vvvexation.livejournal.com]

That's the interesting thing in my case: I'm on my fifth apartment right now and they've all come with male roommates.

[tenacious-snail.livejournal.com]

I've done all of the above. And, indeed, I've spent a freakish amount of time living only with people of my approximate gender (that is, since I was 6, everyone that I've lived with is someone who has an innie rather than an outie).

and I'm also notable on the #9, and more prone to #5 than many of the folks in our community.

1. Had an entire drink of something alcoholic. (Half a drink seems to be about my limit.)

I've never, either. The stuff just doesn't taste good to me.

[vvvexation.livejournal.com]

I loathe the taste, but can handle it okay in some mixed drinks; the other problem is that I'm a lightweight's lightweight.

[ri-whittlesey.livejournal.com]

All of the above. As for
5. Had sex with someone I was in love with.
7. Eaten a peanut butter and jelly sandwich
... you're really missing something. (But I won't say, in what order.)
