Friday Five

1. What's the most daring thing you've ever done?

Jeeze, I thought I led a petty dull life, but not this dull. I have been sitting here, trying to think of anything daring I have ever done, and coming up completely blank. I guess the most daring thing I can remember is sneaking out of the house when I was in high school and going to pig roast-keg party. That's the only time I can remember ever getting grounded.

2. What one thing would you like to try that your mother/friend/significant other would never approve of?

I would like to go to a Pagan retreat. I saw an add in a New Age magazine for one last year that sounded really neat. There was going to be workshops on all kinds of neat things. People were going to camp out, and there was even going to be a spot set aside for people who wanted to be 'skyclad', a pagan code word for being naked. When my husband saw that part he said there was no way I was going to go.

3. On a scale of 1-10, what's your risk factor? (1=never take risks, 10=it's a lifestyle)

About 2.5 or 3.

4. What's the best thing that's ever happened to you as a result of being bold/risky?

Well, the boldest thing I've done lately is buy things on Ebay. Talk about living on the edge. I have been able to learn how to read tarot cards, and maybe some day I will feel brave enough to be a professional prognosticator.

5. ... and what's the worst?

When I was in high school I started dating a boy that was a little bit of a juvenile delinquent. When I finally decided dating him wasn't such a hot idea, he didn't agree with me. Breaking up turned out to be a nightmare. He tried to stab me, but I was able to get away. It could have been a lot worse. I ended up leaving town and spending the summer with my grandparents, so there was a bright side to the whole sorry episode.
