Scariest Things You've Ever Done:
1) This probably ranks up there with the stupidest thing I ever did, too. During one of my many bus trips, I slipped out of the bus terminal during a layover to walk around and get fresh air -- walk around a big city block, at night, by myself. Didn't occur to me to worry about bums/criminals/etc until I was almost around the block and heard footsteps behind me and it suddenly flashed into my head that I'm a Young White Female in a Rather Dark And Scary Area. Nothing actually -happened-, but I was rather scared and I decided to stay in the terminal for the rest of the layover
2) Rode the SuperLoop @ a summer fair when I was really young. I'm afraid of falling, and the ride happens to 'hang' for a few seconds at the top of it's look. I spent the whole ride scared to death and vowed to never get on it again. And I haven't, to this day.
Fave Thing To Do In The Summer: Wait for it to get dark and then go swimming in the pool by myself. When the water's like cool silk and you can float on your back and look up at the stars, without screaming kids, it's bliss.
Fave Thing To Do In The Winter: Something I haven't gotten to do in... years. Sledding. Dress up warmly, grab a tobbaggan(sp?), and spend a few hours flying down hills. Mom once took me into the mountains. While she was taking pictures, I found an old logging road and had a priceless hour of wonderful sledding.
Little-Known Talent You Possess: Talent? It'd have to be so little known that I don't even know about it :) The things I'm good at, people know about, I think.
