~ You have camped between two trees.
~ you have slept on a gear shift (still repenting for that one)
~ You have flirted across a canyon
~ You got into college with a top ten list (They really should have seen the real one)
~ you have seen the sunrise and the sunset (maybe it was against your will?)
~ you have walked around the block in your nightgown with flowers on your fingers and jewels on your neck
~ you have slept on the floor in the same room where a woman passed from this world to the next (and we got reprimanded for making so much noise by hearing that story and getting scared out of our little minds)
~ your grandparents are celebrities....of a sort
and with that memorable last edition, I think I'll close =)
You have acted on stage!
I should add to the part about camping between two trees that it was done in a car and we couldn't have opened the doors if we'd tried. But we didn't know that until morning.
What a great list! But, you forgot to mention:
you let your friend try to make you like Marisa Tomei in Oscar for Spring Formal
:D
Made jelly from flowers?! That's awesome! Would love a post about how/what that entailed! never heard of such a thing :-)
