Okay, I've done these. Actually, I had four years of Latin, two of which were AP. If I'd applied myself, I'd be a doctor or pharmacist by now.

You got it. My housekeepers work harder than anyone I know that isn't employed by the military in some form or function. I also refuse to let folks call them maids. They're not your damn maids, bud. They work for the hotel, NOT *you*. My point being, I'm too lazy to clean other people's homes for a living, though it can be a good living because there are soooo many others like me who don't clean a lot.

Liver is evil. That is all.

Now, you don't have to worry about them.

that's all I can think of right now.

I am loving other people's lists right now.

I'd cut off something important before moving back with my dad and stepmom because a boredom related death is especially cruel.

I've been in jail, though I don't have a record (Field trip, anyone? That counts, right?). I've eaten squirrel, though not by my free will or choice. I've owned several guns and, though I know the basics, I haven't shot any of the ones I've owned. Weird.

I'm afraid of heights but love whirlybird rides. Weeeee!

Part of me wants to skydive. Another part wants to live.

I've eaten oysters and have lived with someone who was in a Frederick's catalog once. I've also played chicken with a train. It was kind of exhilerating.

I could do without being in a life-threatening situation at the hands of another or chewing glass. Road rash is not something I'm keen to discover. Trampoline rash was bad enough. Um, I like pictures of the desert, but I really could do with never going there.
