  • Mine that always shocks people is that I’ve never seen Gone With the Wind.

  • I have lived in Alaska & Hawaii, gone snowboarding, eaten a slug (nasty!), needed (and received) stitches

    I have not broken bones, gone skiing, been to Europe

    and until just last month, I hadn’t seen Avatar. (would’ve been fine without it!)

  • @ Kelley, I’ve never seen Gone With the Wind either… AND it came up at dinner tonight. Creepy.

    I HAVE performed on Broadway (with my Marching Band) yet have NEVER smoked a cigarette.

    I HAVE been on TV and in a text book (picture of me), but I have NEVER run more than 1 road mile.

  • Chrissy

    Love this post! Awesome!

  • Awesome! I’ll have to do this when I get the chance. 🙂

  • ana

    what a fun list! there are quite a few things on your ‘never’ list that i think you should give a try, like snowboarding & eating a pomegranate…but one thing you can definitely do without is painting a house. in or out. it sucks.

    🙂

    love your lists.

  • I have never been to a music concert.

    cute post!

  • i’ve never seen schindlers list either. i’m getting it via netflix as my next movie (as in it’s being shipped this week…cept i’m not going to be home to get it! lol.)
    and i’ve never broken a bone either. sprained my ankle, but that’s about it.

  • excellent post.

    although you should:
    come visit seattle, and eat fresh washington asparagus. life changning!

    i’ve never:
    ridden a horse

    i have:
    kind of met brad pitt

    there’s some random facts for you. 😛

  • Ooo – three of the things you’ve never eaten are three of my favorite foods – fresh asparagus (so much different from yucky canned), poached eggs, and pomegranate. You must try them!

    Such a fun post!

  • so fun to read! i had a tongue ring once. people are always shocked about that!

  • Oooh! So fun!!!

    I have never…
    Been inside a museum (WANT TO GO!!!)
    Eaten lamb
    Stole anything
    Been in a physical fight
    Broken a bone (thank goodness!)
    Been to the North, East or South. :/ (Wander lust is strong in this one!)
    Babysat

    I have…
    Been with my wife for eight wonderful years – three and a half long distance as we met online when I was 13!

    Tried spice (synthetic pot.) It was horrible. I thought – like literally believed – I was dying. It was enough to make sure I wouldn’t ever become a druggie, haha.

    Rode a bareback bronc AND a bull in the rodeo!

    Traveled Utah with Jen, a lot, especially during seasonal jobs.

    Flown once and only once from Illinois to Utah to meet and move in with Jen!

    Tripped at our wedding. Broke out laughing. And now I say I keep “falling in love!”

    Stood up for myself with idiotic family.

    And so so much more!

  • Love the look and feel of your blog. And totally impressed that you’ve read 100 books in one year. That’s insane! I still love to read but sort of lost my desire for it after being forced to read ridiculous amounts of literature as an English Major. haha
