- took a Nobel Prize to a party...in my jeans pocket
- had an orgasm in the White House

...OK, Obama might duplicate those in 2010.

- fathered twins...on the one occasion I had unprotected sex.
- willingly flew to Texas

That should do it for me.

Mix and match...

- biochemist working in a physics lab
- dropped a passport down a crevasse in France
- had a wedding cake decorated with octopi
- fell off a cliff and walked away
- and for Lidless (;)): has had two near-collisions with two different Nobel laureates on the stairs in two different buildings on the same campus (in one case, I was carrying something radioactive so he gave way, in the other case, he looked like he was in a rush so I gave way).

I was named after a song that Barbra Streisand sang on her 1965 album, "My Name is Barbra."

Was "baptized" by an orca whale.

I had lived in two countries more than 2,000 miles apart by the time I was 15 months old.

Learned to swim by literally being thrown off a boat into the Pacific ocean when I was less than two years old.

I had gone around the world and visited 11 or so countries by the time I was 6 years and one month of age.

Touched snow for the first time when I was ten years old.

I traveled with a Festival Choir through England and Wales when I was 16.

Skinny dipped in Lake Michigan in March, the day after the ice finished melting.

Had my first ever orgasm at the age of 25.

Am a member of both Daughters of the Revolution and Children of the Mayflower and still had the audacity to marry a Brit ;)

I married Lidless and have somehow managed to keep him happy with that :Q :D

Jumped a bike off a ramp while standing in the seat-- no hands-- @ 10 yrs old- and time slowed and I had time to figure out how to not get hurt when I separated from the bike in mid air.

Lived my teen years in a two room cabin-sharing the loft bedroom with my parents and brother.

Have not only skinny dipped, but once rode my horse into the creek while nude, until she was swimming too.

Have had a goat follow me into a cave.

I once stomped out a grass fire barefoot.

Caught my hair in the rope thingy when rappelling and had to cut it off to get down.

Have made a knife in a blacksmith's forge.

Have knapped a flint tool.

I've been an enlisted person, a cadet and an officer in the US Army.

I married the first person I fell in love with, and we are still crazy about each other 26 years later.

I bore 3 kids in 3 years, no multiples.

I have a brown belt in Judo.

I had a mystical experience once- where for an instant I knew everything.

I spin wool from my own sheep.

That ought to narrow it down, don't you think? :)

I have a nail from the ship of the Anglo Saxon High King of England and a silver coin of the kingdom of Boadacea. I have a 14th century sword from Japan.
I have helped a friend take apart a Tudor timber framed house and seen the broken witch bottle found in the chimney.
I knew the lover of one Soviet spy and knew the grand daughter of another. I knew a British soldier who was enlisted into the SS. I know the niece of a man who was detailed to go underground if the Nazi invasion had happened. I know a man who helped turn the landing craft round on the beaches of Normandy.
I can fence with four different weapons, throw a pot, open up and go through the frames of a beehive and write Japanese poetry.
I have friends in five continents.

Well I suppose it has more class than using a spray can. Didn't they stop you?

(Sorry, I'm in an "I miss whales" phase and stories like that make me jealous.) :P

I have nothing to contribute, unless I was the first person to make this joke:

I see Lidless' twins and raise him one...I got pregnant with twins while on birth control.
Oh and the weird thing is their birthday is July 6. ;)

I've been to the Alantic/Pacific and Gulf coasts of the US several times in my life

I've encountered a bear, cougar, elk, moose, deer (white tail and mule), bald and golden eagles, horses, and many various snakes and spiders in the wild.

I had a bald eagle try to attack my little black dog ziggy once, it was so close the air from the wing movement messed up my hair.

I've been to the Grand Canyon several time.

I've been to the meteor crater, and when I was a kid I ate the meteor rock my uncle bought me so I could be part of the universe.

I've been to Monument Valley.

I have my name on the bridge from Bridges of Madison County.

I can see four other states from my office window. And I can see Shiprock (Transformers movie) from said window too.

I've been to Chaco Canyon ruins during the spring equinox and was amazed by the accuracy of the whole calander they had going with their buildings. I've been to Anasazi ruins not on any map or tour.

I've seen dinosaur footprints in Utah.

I've been in Hoover Dam. Where's the dam bait....

I flipped off GWB, Rudy G. and Condy Rice while they drove by. :D

I was named after the state and county I was born in.

My boss and I are both decendants of Mary Queen of Scots and are both members of the Bruce Society of America.

I've held grown bald eagles in my arms. (They are amazingly strong!)

I've slept on a glacier ... and got hypothermia ... and had to be revived by a cute stranger in my sleeping bag... and nothing happened .... really!

I visited 30 of the 50 US states before I was 12 (and a few more since then).

I, too have friends on 5 continents. (Possibly the same ones. :P )

I went on my first and last snow machine ride at 60 below. Somehow, I was completely bundled up, but lost my wristwatch.

I've saunaed with a state senator, and about 30 of his friends ... he had a really big sauna... and then we rolled in the snow... and nothing happened... really!

I've eaten home-cooked seal intestines, whale blubber, and musk-ox stew.

I've read my best friend's mind three times, in great detail. Never come close with anyone else.

I am an engineer, and the wife, sister, daughter, granddaughter and great granddaughter of engineers.

I've walked on the floor of the Arctic Ocean. I've gone Scuba diving with a sea turtle in Hawaii.

I've climbed Mt. Whitney (not all of it, but some of it). I climbed to the top of an un-named peak that was 13,200 feet tall.

I'm on a team called the Dragonflyers.

I biked a metric century (100 km) when I was 52.

I talk to suicidal people once week.

My cousin's flightsuit and acrobatic plane are in the National Air and Space Museum (Patty Wagstaff).

I used to fly sailplanes ... and helped rebuild one... and got high on the paint fumes... and nothing happened... really!

I lead a boring life .... really!

I'm boringly ordinary. I guess that makes me unique here!

You hugged a hippo in Florida once. How many people can say that!

I've slept with Alatar.








By "with", I mean in the same room.

Pretty sure that doesn't make you unique. At least, for Al's sake, I hope it doesn't...

I had an unfortunate encounter with a car at the age of 4 while riding my bike.

I was electrocuted at the age of 5; it felt "kind of neat".

I had another unfortunate encounter with a car in 2000 while riding my bike (will I ever get off that damn bike?)
