Never Have I Ever

I stole this idea from Teh Megan.

(X) Shot a gun 

() Gone on a blind date 

I mean I've gone on Tinder, Plenty of Fish, & Match dates...but I've never been set up by anyone.

(X) Skipped school

In high school when you turned 18 you could sign yourself out/call yourself in.  My senior year I didn't want to go on a field trip for my MN History class & since the rest of the class was going, my friend & I decided to just ditch school & go shopping instead.

() Watched someone die

No thank God. 

() Been to Canada

One would think that since I grew up 3.5-4 hours south of Canada, & have been within 1.5-2 hours of it many times the answer to this would be yes.  However, somehow I've just never gone the extra distance.

() Been to Hawaii 

One day.

() Been to Cuba

Negative

(X) Been to Europe

It's been far too long (a decade) but yes.  I've been to Germany, Austria, Switzerland, & Lichtenstein 

() Been to South America

I would like to, but no.

(X) Been to Las Vegas

Again, it's been too long (6 years) but yes.

() Been to Central America

I want to see the world...

() Been to Asia

One day. 

() Been to Africa
Someday

(X) Been to Florida

Panama City/Panama City Beach
Pensacola

() Been to Mexico

Much like Minnesota & Canada, one would think that living 4.5-5 hours from there for 3 years, & having been less than an hour-2 hours away more than once, I would have just committed & gone the whole way.  Nope

() Been to the Pacific Realm

Not yet

() Been to the Middle East

Negative

() Seen the Grand Canyon in person

For someone who loves to travel I sure haven't been around much...

() Flown in a helicopter

I've been in a 2 person plane.  Does that count??

() Served on a jury

I was close.  I had to sit all day through selection but luckily didn't get picked.

(X) Been lost

More than once.

(X) Traveled to the opposite side of the country

I moved from MN to TX which is the complete opposite side North/South wise.  I've been to 28/29 states.  I haven't been to the PNW, New England, HI, AK, or the SW.

() Visited Washington, DC

No but I need to.

(X) Swam in the ocean

Atlantic.  In South Carolina

(X) Cried yourself to sleep

(X) Played cops and robbers

(X) Played cowboys and Indians 

() Recently colored with crayons

I recently colored with colored pencils... does that count? 

(X) Sang karaoke

I think I've only done it a few times for real but anytime in my car alone it's my own version of carpool karaoke. 

() Sang a solo or duet in church

I was never in a church choir period.

(X) Paid for a meal with coins only

I'm sure I have 

(X) Made prank phone calls

That was what we did for entertainment in elementary/middle school.

(X) Laughed until some beverage came out of your nose

Only once & it hurt like hell

(X) Caught a snowflake on your tongue

Every winter of my childhood.

() Had children 

(X) Had a pet

We always had a dog growing up.  We've also had fish, cats, chickens, horses.  But always a dog. 

(X) Been skinny-dipping

Only once.  A couple of summers ago.  My friend & I had never gone so we drove out to a lake one night just to do it.

(X) Been fishing

I haven't been in way too long but I went fairly frequently growing up.

(X) Been boating

See above

() Been downhill skiing

I grew up in the land of snow & yet no, I've never been.  I honestly have no desire.  I half ass tried snowboarding once & if I lived in a winter climate still I'd still like to learn to snowboard.  But I don't.

() Been water skiing

I grew up in the land of 10,000 lakes...but no.  Again, I never really had the desire to do so.

(X) Been camping in a trailer/RV

All the time growing up.

(X) Been camping in a tent

Every summer growing up & every year at WeFest.

() Driven a motorcycle

I've been on one more than once.  I still REALLY want my license.  I just never go do it.  I need to just start doing things instead of wanting to do them.

() Been bungee-jumping

I kinda want to do this, but I kinda don't.  Megan said it seems like less of a good idea the older she gets but I am more attracted to the idea the older I get.

(X) Gone to a drive-in movie

Only twice.  I want to go to more.

(X) Done something that could have killed you

More than once.

() Done something that you will regret for the rest of your life

No.  I mean we all have those what if moments but I don't have any regrets. 

() Rode an elephant

() Rode a camel

(X) Eaten just cookies or cake or ice cream for dinner

I also used to eat M&Ms & Mountain Dew for breakfast sometimes.

() Been on TV

() Stolen any traffic signs 

No, but growing up my brother would somehow always have to go to the bathroom really bad at about the exact same point in our hour drive between home & the mall.  So we would always pull over on this rural road so he could pee.  So many times I wanted to steal that sign for him & give it to him for his high school graduation.

(X) Been in a car accident

Nothing serious but yes.

() Been in the hospital in past 24 months

(X) Donated blood

A few times.  I need to do it more often.

(X) Gotten a speeding ticket in the past 12 months
It's been 8 months since my last ticket.  If I somehow make it to October that will be the first time since 2011 that I'll have gone a full year without some kind of ticket.

(X) Gotten a piercing

My belly button & ears.

(X) Gotten a Tattoo

I have 6: left wrist, right foot, left collarbone, left hip, right shoulder blade, right rib cage

(X) Driven a manual transmission vehicle

I've tried but I haven't been successful with it for more than a mile or 2

() Ever owned your dream car

I've owned a Plymouth Breeze, Chevy Impala, & Ford Fusion.  None of those are cars that I ever really wanted or was like "Must. Have. That!"  My dream vehicle is a Ford F150.  2010-2013.  Bright blue.  Extended Cab.

() Been Married 

() Been divorced 

(X) Fell in love  

(X) Fell out of love 

(X) Paid for a strangers meal

It's possible.  And part of me wants to say yes.  But we'll stick with no.  I know I've been in the car with people who have.

() Written a published book/story/poetry 

() Eaten snails
