Have you ever...

I found this on Megan's blog this morning.  It's one of those Q&A things about me, but way more entertaining than the usual!  Unusual enough for me to share.

Have you ever...

1. Been pulled over?
No, but I have been a victim of road rage... and no, it wasn’t my fault! I was young (18) and driving a friend’s beetle home from La Med, when Jacques and his friend decided to moon the car behind us. I’m sure it wasn’t a pretty site, but the guy in the car with two ladies seriously over reacted.  He cut us off on Kloof Nek and thankfully we locked the doors before he could open them.  I’m sure he would’ve thrown me into the road and then climbed into the guys in the back if he could’ve gotten in.  He even kicked the car as we drove off... was very scary.

2. Plucked your eyebrows?
Yes, but my natural eyebrows aren’t bushy enough to justify that amount of pain regularly.

3. Pulled an all-nighter?
Absolutely and I plan to have many more in the future...

4. Baked a cake?
Yes, I enjoy baking, I just need to have time and ingredients... don’t make me go shopping half way through.

5. Fallen down in public?
Yes, I don’t fall often, but I have fallen down an entire flight of stairs outside the Spur before.  I often wobble on my shoes and I did do a brilliant wipe out at school once, when my ankle caught a nerve while we were running on the tar around the tennis courts during phys ed.  Blind.

6. Been caught making out?
Yes, but never kiss and tell, right?

7. Taken a pregnancy test?
Yes, and it was positive J

8. Broken a bone?
No, but I did crack my cheek bone, when I was hit in the face with a flying hockey ball in high school.  Not pretty...

9. Had braces?
Yes, for 2 years from Std 7 – 9.  Also not pretty.

10. Gone skinny dipping?
Ummm... yes.  I even skinny dipped in the dam on the farm when I was 8 months pregnant.  I get that from my mom.

11. Made a prank call?
Yes...  well, I didn’t actually make the call, but I was part of a group who made people roar for fake prizes...

12. Screamed during a scary movie?
No, I normally just poop in my pants, gasp and cover my eyes.  I HATE scary movies. 

13. Gone out without underwear?
Often, it’s very liberating.  Sometimes it’s also essential. Panty lines anyone?

14. Been arrested?
No, but my sister (Rosanne) was arrested for drunken driving.  She was thrown in the back of a police van and put in a holding cell.  Then they cuffed her and took her off for testing somewhere along the N2.  Turned out she was stone cold sober.  Some cops are just jerks.

15. Opened Christmas presents early?
No, Father Christmas still drops my presents off while I’m sleeping!  I only open my gifts on Christmas morning.

16. Been in the hospital?
Yes, 2 nights when I had my sweet Jake.  That was it though.  I hate hospitals.

17. Had food come out your nose?
Food?  No.  Wine? Yes.  And I did something funky with coke and trifle the Christmas when I was pregnant with Jake...

18. Toilet papered someone's house?
No... I was such a nerd.

19. Laughed so hard you cried?
All the time!  I love to laugh and I am possibly one of the most childish people you will ever meet.

20. Burned yourself with a curling iron?
Yes, but with my straightening iron.

21. Been hit on by someone too old?
Yes!  My best friend tried to set me up with her boyfriend’s friend and he was about 15 years older than me.  And my previous boss once asked me when we were going away for a dirty weekend.  Um... no thanks...

22. Eaten food that fell on the floor?
Absolutely.  I do it because it totally grosses my germ-a-phobe son out!  He especially hates it if I don’t wash my hands first.

23. Given a hickey?
Yes.  I don’t like them though.

24. Shared a sucker with your dog?
I’ve shared lots of things with my dogs, but a sucker’s not one of them.

25. Been in an accident?
Yes, quite a few actually.  Was involved in a hit and run in my parent’s driveway (he was underage and had taken his mom’s car out on a joyride); reversed into someone once in a parking lot and had a head-on with a taxi, who decided to take the gap in front of me at a robot in the pouring rain.  Bastard wrote my car off!

26. Spied on your neighbours?
I don’t think so.  My neighbours just aren't very exciting.  If there were hot guys living next door, maybe, but there are old people living all around me.  The old man across the road looks like Roy Orbison and he cuts his lawn with a pair of scissors and collects leaves off his lawn all the time in his pyjamas.  That's quite entertaining.  Does it count?

27. Lied about your age?
Nope, I’m glad I’ve lived to be 27... hahaha... Only as old as you feel!!

28. Fired a gun?
Yes.  I have friends who live in the middle of nowhere and we went out shooting cans in the bush once.  It was a huge shot gun and you have no idea how much it hurts your shoulder when that thing kicks back at you.  I really don’t like guns though.

29. Been drunk?
That’s so not a question... but to answer... yes, often.

30. Gotten a tattoo
Yes.  I have a butterfly across my lower back.

So, that was fun and now you know a whole lot of other really random, sometimes weird things about me.
