Meme: Things I've done that you probably haven't

[liv]

I just got a significant chunk of work eaten by a BSOD, so I'm consoling myself by making a silly post before I redo the bloody thing. I think I'm going to have a hard time with this meme, because several of the weirder things I've done in my life I've done in the company of various people on my flist. Anyway, it might tell some people something they didn't know about me.

• Cut up all the washing on the washing line with scissors in order to see how much trouble I would get into
• Drawn a Mendelian cross involving six characteristics because I was bored during the school holidays
• "Mooned" a group of a couple of hundred teenagers in order to raise money for charity
• Kept pet stick insects and named them all with gender-neutral names
• Been becalmed while crewing a 30' yacht in the middle of the North Sea in October
• Watched the Tall Ships race coming into Port Philip Bay (in Australia)
• Written the script of a pantomime that was performed by a local am-dram group
• Smuggled my brother into a French conversation lesson (at an all-girls school)
• Watched Cyrano de Bergerac more than a dozen times and cried my eyes out on every occasion
• Been told by someone of a different religion from mine that my actions helped to bring God into his life

Right, back to that figure, I think.

Why did you want to get in trouble? When was that?

I like the brother-in-a-girls-school part, too. And the God bit. & :-)

Why did you want to get in trouble?
Because I was a stupid brat, mainly. My parents were very kind and principled about making absolutely sure that I understood that I wouldn't get into trouble if I accidentally broke things, or did things wrong because I didn't know any better. So I wanted to know what would happen if I actually deliberately did something destructive which I obviously knew I shouldn't. Plus, I had a thing for cutting things with big scissors and I'd run out of the dead daffodils I was supposed to be cutting.

When was that?
When I was quite little, three or four I think.

I like the brother-in-a-girls-school part
Combination of crazy cross-dressing brother + slightly dopey French conversation assistante = opportunities for devilment. *grin*

And the God bit.
I like that too, I mean, of all the flattering things someone could say to me! Though it feels as if it might be tending slightly towards blasphemy, to be honest.
