Good news: not about my cold.
Bad news: it's a meme.

And - GMonkey bonus! - with my comments after each apparently arbitrary section!
[1] I have read a lot of books.
[] I have been on some sort of varsity team.
[] I have run more than 2 miles without stopping.
[2] I have been to Canada.
I've been to Vancouver. I can't remember about the running. I definitely go more than 2 miles on the tradmill but I always do interval of sprinting/fast walking so that doesn't count.
[3] I have been to Europe.
[4] I have watched cartoons for hours.
[5] I have tripped UP the stairs.
[] I have fallen down an entire flight of stairs.
[6] I have been snowboarding/skiing.
I've been to Euro Disney and that is the only Disney park I've been to. I've watched cartoons for hours in the past week. South Park Season 7!
[7] I have played ping pong.
[8] I swam in the ocean.
[9] I have been on a whale watch.
[10] I have seen fireworks.
I want to go to Hawaii in winter and see the whales.
[11] I have seen a shooting star.
[12] I have seen a meteor shower.
[] I have almost drowned.
[] I have been so embarrassed I wanted to disappear.
I'm a damn good swimmer. I did, however, get considerably more water in my lungs than I usually like when I made my first and last attempt at water skiing.
I'm not easily embarrassed. You know how often quizes or whatever will say "what was your most embarrassing moment?" I can't think of one. One time I was in the bathroom of a train and the train went over a bump and the door came open and a guy had to close it for me because I was on the toilet. And that was more funny than embarrassing. So I'm hard to embarrass.
[13] I have listened to one CD over and over and over again.
[14] I have had stitches.
[] I have had frostbite.
[] I have licked a frozen pole and got stuck there.
[15] I have stayed up 'til 2 doing homework/projects.

[] I've played tennis on a team.
[] I've been on a track or cross country team.
[29] I've been swimming more than 20 times in my life.
[] I've bungee jumped.
Oh god, I would never go bungee jumping. I would hate it. Both the basketball and softball were on intramural teams at uni. Good times.
[30] I've climbed a rock wall.
[31] I've lost more than $20.
[] I've called myself an idiot.
[32] I've called someone else an idiot.
[] I've cried myself to sleep.
[33] I've had (or have) pets.
I've spent more than $20 playing the slots so I guess that counts as "lost." I don't get the crying oneself to sleep thing. If I'm crying, I can't just fall asleep in the middle of it.

[60] I've watched a lot of action movies.
[61] I've screamed at the top of my lungs.

Oh, how I wish I could say yeah, I've broken a lag - someone else's leg! but I haven't. I have never in my life been proven wrong. Possibly because I'm so staggeringly intelligent that I realize that I'm wrong before anyone else does and I admit it.
[] I've broken an arm/fingers.
