At first I thought it was the same as this one, but turns out it is a different list of Have I Evers. Got this one from Cakeeater Chronicles.

been to any other countries besides the United States

gone out in public in your pajamas (We used to have something called “Pajama Day” in high school.)
kissed a stranger (Ahem. Well, he kissed me on the cheek, but I am CERTAINLY counting it.)

“purposely set a part of yourself on fire”
A friend of mine from college seemed to have a thing for fire. He was a huge fan of ozzy osbourne, and apparently at Ozzy’s concerts he has a ‘crazy man’ competition. Basically whoever does the craziest (aka dumbest) thing during the concert gets to go back stage to meet him. So my friend decided it would be a good idea to set himself on fire at the ozzy concert. Now this was a surprisingly well planned activity. He even practiced beforehand. He wore several layers of clothing and doused the outer layer in some form of flammable liquid, made sure he was standing near a large water source (I think it was a river) and set himself on fire. Apparently that worked out fairly well, so he proceeded to do the same thing at the Ozzy concert (if I remember correctly it was at Foxboro around ’95). Unfortunately, or fortunately maybe, the second he set him self on fire the security guards jumped on him and put him out and he never made it back stage to see Ozzy. But if anyone was at an Ozzy concert at Foxboro sometime in the 90s and saw a ball of flame get thrown to the ground and extinguished by a bunch of security guards… that was my friend Mark.
oh no!! Cold water thrown on his dreams!
Funny story – I like the “he was standing near a large water source (I think it was a river) and set himself on fire.”
This guy had a strange affinity for fire. He set his dorm room on fire accidentally when he decided to make his eight shot a flaming one.
Curtis –
I feel like everybody knew someone like that in college. I know I did. That is so funny.
In HS, my boyfriend used to put lighter fluid (not from the can, but just from a lighter) on his jeans and then ignite the lighter. And he did it often. Nut case. Yeah, he should of have been in therapy!
I was 13/14, in the 1st year of secondary school, and fresh from my performance, in the school drama societys production of Our Town – Wally Webb since you ask. ANYway.. opening show went well and I was in the car with parents travelling back home, it was about 10.30-11.00pm.. and the sky lit up… along with the car, the road, countryside. Just like the Close Encounters scene with the truck at the road-sign.. except no loss of engine, no shaking of metallic objects and no sunburn.. oh, and no aliens. OK not just like that scene but it was close. Teenage me is straining at the side-window looking at where the stars should have been and theres a ball of light streaming across the night sky.. and its gone… only took a handful of seconds but it really did light up everything around in a bright white light. Meteorite hits Ireland was the headline the next day. Im not sure if anything was found to have actually fallen all the way down to earth, but have I ever seen a shooting star?.. Have I ever.
Another Thursday, Another Meme
Via Red, another one of those funky “Have You Ever” memes….
Oh peteb. I’m jealous. I would love to see something like that.
Meme of the Day – Version 5.0
Another meme!
Why is Japan separated out from the “been to another country”? Although I sorta do see the logic, it is like visiting an alien planet, even for other Asians. (For one thing, it generally is missing the smell of Asia. And that’s a good thing.)
Well, in the first “Have I Ever” meme that I did, it was “Have you ever been to Ireland?” As though there was only one “foreign” country to visit, and that was Ireland. So maybe they’re just going round the globe with these different memes.
It was also only a ten/fifteen minute car journey, Sheila.. it still seems strangely synchronous to me..
“Cut Yourself on Purpose…”
Once upon a time, I got a paper cut along the cuticle of my index finger on an envelope. I was demonstrating to someone how I’d done it later, jesting that I’d get another one, and I’d cry sick and go home from work.
Damned if I didn’t do it again on the other index finger as I set the envelope down….
