I'm going to have to hate you for your varied and interesting life. You once again prove to me that my life is boring, dull, and lifeless and that YES, YES I will get hit by a bus one day, dying with the known fact that my life was spent at home.
So now that I'm done going psycho, I would like to say that it's great that you speak so many languages and had a chance to meet Bono. Also, the finger thing sounds painful, I winced and don't even want to think about it, or I may pass out.
- I was an airforce brat.
- I joined the Amy and jumped out of helicopters for my living.
- I can cuss you out in 7 languages
- I am fluent in only one language.
- I cry but NEVER EVER infront of anyone - except the dog.
- I have been hospitalized for childbirth and also when they tied my tubes and that's it.
- My brother broke my nose and made me have 7 stitches in the bridge of my nose when I was about 11.
You suck. My life hasn't even been close to this interesting. I'm very jealous but still happy for you. May I live vicariously thru you?
My life is much more sedate now - so I'm right there with you on the boredom thing.
Nikki - I'm an Army brat and joined the AF! How funny!
I can take apart anything you put in front of me and put it back together in working order - and I mean ANYTHING from a circuit board to a crocheted bag.
Geeze, can you fix the clock in our living room? Martha thinks it needs a new battery, but I'm not sure.
I take everything apart too, but I always, always, always have crap left over. I'm fairly pleased whenever whatever I reassembled doesn't explode or burn the house down.
I'd just use duct tape and WD40 for that clock, ADM. PS. ;)
I"m thinking maybe you have a little rainman in you, Misha? me too! ha.
HOW did you sever your finger? I must know.
CMHL - you could be right, definitely, definitely.
I blogged about my finger mishap a in January. I can't seem to be able to link to just that article (because I am a blogtard), but here's the link for that month.

Just scroll down a little. The post is called "The Doors, Part One."
I have yet to write The Doors, Part II.
I'm so lazy.
