Ten Things meme

[cjsmith]

Why is it that when I read about things others have done and I have not, I jump to the conclusion that I'm somehow more boring? After all, if I think hard about it, I probably could come up with ten things of my own. (I don't need y'all to come telling me how fascinating my life is; I mean, you can if you want, but it's not necessary.) Would I really have to match *everyone's* most quirky experiences to think of myself as interesting?

I'm also envious of some of the things. Wish I could travel more, wish I had more nifty skills, and DAMN but I miss running and hiking and backpacking. Most of all, I miss being able to think "I could do that some day."

No, but it would be fun!

Let me know when you're ready. You provide diet soda and munchies, and I'll bring the balloons. :)

I don't have much free time for a little while, but this is a good time to ask: how big a block of time would this be? A couple of hours after work? A Saturday afternoon?

My brain is also attempting to morph it into a party idea. Everyone who comes teaches something, perhaps. I could teach -- or attempt to teach -- people how to cross one eye.

I originally had this in mind as a one-on-one cheering-up sort of thing ... however, if you'd rather morph it into a party, that's fine. :)

Most people can take about an hour of balloons screeching and popping before they beg for mercy. (Your Mileage May Vary.) Being a pilot, I suspect you probably have a higher ability of concentration than most people, and I'm guessing you'll be one of the rare hour-plus people. ;)
