I'm stealing this idea from John Scalzi, because it took my fancy.
1. Spent 22 hours in labour. And 70 mins in labour (different babies)
2. Grew a tooth with the crown pointing backwards into my mouth
3. Read a paper on quantum field theory written in French by a Russian (in the original French, naturally)
4. Cooked for 150 people. More than once.
5. Danced the pavane in the carpark of a roadhouse in Nhill at 3am
6. Walked for two days on a sprained ankle to get out of the Flinders Rangers where I had sprained said ankle.
7. Coughed all the way through a speech by someone who later became premier of South Australia
8. Gotten stuck on a bus because a man on a seat in front of me had a heart attack
9. Worn a small figurine of a man made from a broken capacitor in my hair - as a matter of habit
10. Had a needle inserted into my breast to suck out pus.
Hmmm...I could do this all night. Other things that nearly made the list: dated a Young Liberal, gone without a haircut for 11 years, made marzipan pastries from scratch (including pastry) in a tent whilst up to my ankles in mud, been inside an unmanned underground power station, discovered I am related to Emmeline Pankhurst, contaminated myself with radiation.
