jibber

huh, already posted, but i'm bored, so I think i'll add ten other things:

1. met someone on a chair lift and remain good friends 2 years later
2. been in a minor avalanche and burried up to my chest (my friends found me and laughed, then dug me out)
3. been hospitalized twice in one week
4. played golf at 10pm while it was still light out (iceland, northernmost golf course in the world)
5. skied until my legs litterally gave out on me (first they seize up and wont let you control them, and then after you've ignored that for about an hour, they actually just collapse and you fall down in the parking lot walking back to the car)
6. set off fireworks in a backyard on a regular weekday
7. learned to skateboard in the emergency ward waiting room at the hospital
8. drove for 13 hours straight (lazy ass friends who refused to take the wheel and let me rest)
9. seen the geyser that all other geysers were named after (all geysers get their names from one large one in iceland, which was named "Geysir" which in Danish means "spouter" or "gusher")
10. gotten mild frostbite
