Never Will I Ever

In no particular order, a list of 25 things I will NEVER do:

1.  Go sky diving (Why jump out of a perfectly good airplane?)
2. Tattoo my face (I like tattoos, just not on the face.  Too much of a distraction.)
3. Get piercings anywhere on my body (already have 2 in each ear and no more for me)
4.  Cheat on my husband (I'm loyal.)
5. Kill animals for fun (If it is not for food, it isn't happening.)
6. Visit Antarctica (Too cold)
7. Moto Surf (Watch Surf Ninjas to get this reference)
8. Bungee jump (don't have a fear of heights, just falling from them.)
9. Own a gun (unless I'm in  a post apocalyptic dystopia)
10. Own a motorcycle (have enough trouble staying balanced on my own 2 feet)
11. Walk naked through town (unless you are paying me billions of dollars, up front)
12. Participate in an orgy (not into group sex)
13. Do drugs (I'm crazy enough, don't need any more help)
14. Swim naked in a public pool (in my own, yes)
15. Participate in a biggest eater challenge (don't want to die of food)
16. Star in a porn video (just NO)
17. Disrespect the holy place of any religion (not my style)
18. Steal a car for fun (I don't look good in orange)
19. Swim with sharks (unless it is a whale shark since they won't eat me)
20. Eat raw oysters (Yuck! Plus not a huge fan of seafood)
21. Go deep sea diving (snorkeling, yes)
22. Go spelunking (fun word to say though but I'll just stick to the guided cave tours where I just walk around)
23. Wrestle an alligator (don't want to be lunch)
24. Lick a cactus (Ouch!)
25. Assassinate someone (No matter how much they piss me off.  I'll just send them lots of bad energy instead)

Creating this list was a lot harder than you think but it was rather fun :-)

I Wonder

Thanks to a darker night, these thoughts crossed my mind this evening.

I wonder...

...do people actually care about me
...would I even be missed
...why I even try to rise above things
...should I even continue to try
...what would happen if I were gone
...should I walk away from it all
...what changes should happen
...what changes shouldn't happen
...is the light at the end of the tunnel the train or the sun 

Life is a Beach

Now, living in the center of the country, the beach is something that I miss a lot.  I grew up on the West Coast and for several years when I was a kid, we got to go on a camping trip to Pismo Beach.  It was so much fun. We would camp out at this campground that was a short walk from the beach and we'd walk to the beach every day.

One of my favorite memories was digging in the surf and watching the sand crabs dig themselves under the sand before the water came back in.  I also loved throwing cheese balls for the seagulls, getting tons of them to land, then running at them, shouting like an idiot & getting them to fly off.  I got lucky that I was never pooped on during those episodes.

The only real downside was that the sand got everywhere. And nothing is more uncomfortable than walking back to camp with a lot of sand in your bathing suit.  The sunburns weren't a joy either, and being pale, I definitely had some sort of sunburn after a week.

I'm not sure that I would want to live at the beach, but it is sure nice to visit.


(Prompt 288 out of 300: Write about the beach: your favorite memory of a trip, what you love, what you hate (e.g., sand gets everywhere).  Would you live on the coast if you could, or is it better just to visit?)

Life is a Stage

I did plays my junior and senior year of high school.  I was never in the lead, so in two of the plays I was in, I preformed as two different characters.  It was a lot of fun, especially when it came to picking out our costumes.  Our school was really old and actually had an old bomb shelter under the stage, which is where all the clothing and wigs were stored.  And since I was in a digital art class, I got to design the tickets, programs, and flyers for the show.

I would also learn my lines rather quickly, along with several other people's.  During dress rehearsals, whenever someone yelled, "Line!" I could be often heard yelling the line they needed from the wings, much to the irritation of the director.

Scrubbing Away

This was a hard one, but the soap I have would wash away the damage done to old car parts, restoring them to a new condition.  Driving an old truck, you end up having to replace parts that are just worn out in order for your truck to keep running.  And it can take a big chunk out of your savings if you aren't paying attention to the warning signs that something is about to fail.  A soap that could magically wash away that damage would be a great relief to my checkbook.  Although, it would mean that I  would probably need to take a beginners mechanics course so I would have an idea on what the parts should and shouldn't look like.

Hissy, Hissy, Little Snake

I find snakes rather interesting.  Here is a species that moves rather elegantly on their stomachs while humans look like utter goobs when they try that method of movement.  The beautiful mosaic of colors of their scales is quite lovely, even on snakes of plainer colors.  They are also a very helpful species, even though mankind doesn't want to admit it, getting rid of other species that can damage our food sources.  They also have a bad rap due to a major Abrahamic religion.  So, I think that I'll continue to like these amazing creatures, no matter what others say.

A pretty Rainbow Boa Constrictor
