blather: the meme-ification of Arrow

[arrow00]

I am bored because work requires me to herd cats (engineers) today and I am waiting for check-ins.

here is a meme I spiffed from spuffyduds:

* Post 3 things you've done in your lifetime that you don't think anybody else on your friends list has done.

* See if anybody else responds with "I've done that." If they have, you need to add another!(2.b., 2.c., etc...)

* Have your friends cut & paste this into their journal to see what unique things they've done in their life

I have:
1. Gone skydiving (I can't be alone on my flist?)
ETA: utterfrivolity has also jumped, so we add:
1b. When my cat died, I kept her in the crisper. (the vegetable drawer in my fridge. hey, it was a Sunday, and my vet office was closed.)
2. Klutzed right into Greg Louganis (wham!) when he was wearing 5 gold medals on his chest (1984 Summer Olympics, on his way to press conference.)
3. Attacked my own muggers and retrieved my stolen wallet.

In other news, I am finally making progress on my Jim-as-Vigilante/Whore fic. Wee!

Well, it's not pretty, but I was living in Jersey City, NJ at the time, right down the street from the Hudson County Jail.

Three guys jumped me in the alley by my apartment. One held a knife in my back (a teeny one, I think--it didn't feel big) while another hit me a couple of times, shouting stuff. The third guy took my bag after I fell down. I got up and chased after them yelling I was going to kill them. I was a little out of my head. The third guy was slow and I caught up to him, hit him just as he turned, and he dropped the bag. His friends were way too far ahead at that point, so I guess me telling him "I'm going to fucking kill you, you motherfucker" was off-putting enough to make him run. Heh.

I think, in retrospect, I was a goddamned idiot. It wasn't until later I figured out he wasn't the one with the knife, but I didn't know that at the time. A monkey had taken over my brain.

Moral of the story: move to San Francisco (which I did, just two months later.)

You were really lucky that it didn't have a different ending. :( I'm so glad that it didn't. *sigh* Still, the anger compelled you, I'm sure. My mom did a similar thing, in Cleveland, once. She and my father had gone to the theatre and were going for a meal, after. A *guy* tried to snatch her bag and she wouldn't let go and started yelling and screaming at him. She actually managed to run him off in the end. Without her bag. Still...I was horrified when I heard the tale. I can't remember why my dad wasn't with her when it actually happened, but she still prevailed.

Personally, I've not done any of the three (now four) things you've listed. ;)

*hugs you*

Oh, and...oops. I just remembered that I owe you fb for your teeny!Ray story. which I loved, btw. I've been freaked the past couple of days because my desktop died a final death. :( Luckily, my computer guy was able to grab some (vital) files for me that weren't mirrored on my laptop - although most were. Thank god for my laptop. I'll make a note to myself. *nods*
