The "10 things" meme

[mattp]

Here are 10 things that I've done that I don't think a lot of you will have done

1) Piloted a plane out of Manchester International Airport
2) Been on prime time TV as one of the starssubjects
3) Modelled for a photoshoot for a online porn site
4) Nearly drowned at the age of 3
5) Bit hit by a car... twice.
6) Been an studio engineer, editor and presenter at a radio station... sometimes all 3 at the same time.
7) Travelled abroad alone at the age of 12.
8) Held a belching contest with my mum... and lost.
9) Been to a wedding with members of the royal family as brides maids.
10)Been for a bungee jump

It was tough keeping these clean such that I could make it an unlocked post. I might consider making an alternative version ;-)

hmmm...I tried to leave a comment and it wouldn't let me. I just randomly found your journal on here and wanted to say that I, too, almost drowned at age 3! :) random.

Ooh, hi. Your journal looks interested *adds*

Curious to know - how did you find my journal?

[andi-williams.livejournal.com]

Seriously random. Like, I just hit random and found you! :) Thought you looked interesting and figured I would say hi!

:: ticks #6 - for two different RSL stations (in one case I was chief engineer and co-ordinated the building of the studios!) ::

nice list though ... were #2 and '3 connected?

[mattp.livejournal.com]

Aye - it was a similar set up for me with the RSLs. I was there from day -3 (building the studio) until the very end. I'd love to do it again some time.

2 and 3 weren't connected. 3 was in 1999-2000 ish, 2 was earlier last week.

#8 was a regular feature growing up. Mom still is better than I am.

I am jealous about #1 and #7. Not jealous about #10. (or #5 for that matter)

Do it! Those are fun. (The main reason I made my list non-public was the last item.)

I've done 3. It's a bit too intense; I hadn't eaten properlyafter the third one and gave myselfa mild case of shock :-) I'd love to do a parachute jump though.

I'm so envious of you doing number one :)
You've done a hell of a lot of cool things. Why were you travelling on your own when you were 12?

[mattp.livejournal.com]

Number 1 happened again on Sunday :-)
I was travelling on my own to go to Germany to stay with a family there to help my German skills. I went back in 1994, I think, and they came over about a year later.

Sadly I've not used German for ages and my skills have dropped considerably.

hey,
just letting you know I added you, tis Katie...I met you with gardeneden today.


quite weird really as yesterday I was looking at your journal and thought "I so want to meet this guy..." and it didn't even dawn on me today who you actually were :-/

(Sorry, it's almost a week later. I've barely been home)

Thanks for the compliment :-) Though I'm curious to know what it is that made you think that.

[hellomrteapot.livejournal.com]

You just seemed.. interesting (and proved to be!)
