i’ve never…
August 18, 2008
eaten lobster
had a bikini wax
been to an opera
relished the limelight
crossed the atlantic
seen “the breakfast club”
liked tequila
had a margarita
been in a street fight
been good at conquering my fears
exhibited much self-control
met a cookie i didn’t like
understood the fascination with certain celebrities. hello? beyonce?
been able to figure out why people are obsessed with sushi
owned an american car
planted a garden
imagined that i could love anyone as much as i love my daughter
been good at telling a story
fully believed in myself
met anyone as smart as my husband…besides myself, of course
been good at giving directions
gone skinny dipping in the ocean
stopped dreaming of living a simple life on the beach
thrown up on a rollercoaster
understood why people voted for bush….twice
known why anyone would want a snake for a pet
understood how people can deny the existence of evolution
smoked a cigarette
balanced my checkbook
enjoyed public speaking
donated blood
answered calls from “unknown” numbers
understood why some people have entire stuffed animal collections in the back window of their cars
felt confident around groups of teenagers…even as an adult
figured out what i want to be when i grow up
