Have You Ever.....?

[Deidre]

This is a fun game to play on forums that I've seen. Thought it'd be fun here, too.

Goes like this....poster asks "have you ever been sky diving?"

The next poster (or you can quote as many posts and reply to them as u like) replies...and then posts up their own "have you ever" question.

Ok...I'll go first.

Have you ever traveled out of your country?

No. I'm not sure I'd make it. lol It would be a noble feat, indeed. ^_^ (have you?)

To you/everyone:

To you/everyone:

Have you ever won a spelling bee?

Yes, I have, I think 3-4 (as far as memory serves, which isn't always the best) weeks was the longest stretch, and I used to regularly spend months out to sea.

I have never won a spelling bee, although I consider myself rather verbose.

Have you/anyone else: Ever played a musical instrument (what kind)?

 

[Riverwolf]

Have you ever traveled out of your country?

Yes, I spent two weeks in Japan.

Have you ever spent a month without internet access/access to the outside world?

Except during the days before the internet, and also when I was a child and so unable to access the world except for what my parents allowed, nope.

Have you ever won a spelling bee?

Nope, and I HATE the fact that they exist in the first place. LOL

Have you/anyone else: Ever played a musical instrument (what kind)?

Yes, I (sort of) played the Clarinet in High School Band.

Have you/anyone else: Ever deliberately gotten lost just for the sake of having an adventure?

 

[9-10ths_Penguin]

Have you ever spent a month without internet access/access to the outside world?

Not since I got internet access, no.

Have you ever won a spelling bee?

I came in second at one when I was a kid. I won a globe piggy bank.

Have you/anyone else: Ever played a musical instrument (what kind)?

Piano (grade 8 Royal Conservatory)
Trumpet (2 years of band)
Alto recorder (one year of music class)
Harmonica... badly (trying to learn on my own and not making much progress)

Have you/anyone else: Ever deliberately gotten lost just for the sake of having an adventure?

Sort of... I've done quite a few navigational rallies.

Have you ever biked more than 50 km in one trip?

I don't know much 50km is but one time we got lost and ended up 3 towns over.
Have you ever gone paranormal investigating?

 

[9-10ths_Penguin]

I don't know much 50km is

It's about 30 miles.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Have you ever traveled out of your country?

Nope, but I'll be living in one before too long. And I don't even have a passport yet.

Have you ever gone paranormal investigating?

I used to, but to laugh at people, scare them, and enjoy myself.

Have you ever spent a month without internet access/access to the outside world?

I didn't even have the internet until I was in sixth grade. When I was a little kid, hardly anyone had it, and if you did you were either doing business stuff or an uber geek. Who were also the same groups that tended to have computers back then.

Have you ever won a spelling bee?

A few of them (I've heard these are primarily in America and other English speaking countries).

Have you/anyone else: Ever played a musical instrument (what kind)?

Bass guitar, guitar, violin, and synthesizer and banjo though I don't know enough of a keyboard layout to play the synthesizer and I very rarely pick the banjo up.

Ever deliberately gotten lost just for the sake of having an adventure?

Yes. I drove myself in random directions on country roads for about an hour and a half one night in a county I don't know the layout of with the intention of trying to get lost. When I decided I had no idea where I was, I cruzed around trying to find my way back home. The most unusual thing I saw was this small town that was very alive and active for it being late at night. One town, as was driving into, at first had a very similar layout to a town I live nearby, I saw a Dollar General and thought for sure I knew where I was, but it turned out to be a town I've never heard of. After I decided to get serious about finding my way home (mostly because I had just bought gas for the third time that night), because I know the layout of the highways and interstates here very well, I was able to take the first one back home.

Have you ever biked more than 50 km in one trip?

On an exercise bike, but I'm not really that good at riding a regular bike to make it that far.

Have you ever went somewhere (such as work or school) and realized you've forgotten things you needed just before arriving?

 

[Deidre]

Yes, I have, I think 3-4 (as far as memory serves, which isn't always the best) weeks was the longest stretch, and I used to regularly spend months out to sea.

Have you/anyone else: Ever played a musical instrument (what kind)?

I have won spelling bees. LOL I even watch the ones on ESPN. Yes, I'm a nerd!

I played piano as a kid, and still do...yup!

Have you ever went somewhere (such as work or school) and realized you've forgotten things you needed just before arriving?

Oh, you are moving to a new country! That's exciting.

As to your question...OMG YES. All the time.

I don't know much 50km is but one time we got lost and ended up 3 towns over.
Have you ever gone paranormal investigating?

Yes, and it was uneventful. :/

Have you ever biked more than 50 km in one trip?

Yes

Have you/anyone else: Ever deliberately gotten lost just for the sake of having an adventure?

Not deliberately, but the adventure was very fun indeed!


To all:

Have you ever returned food to the kitchen @ a restaurant because it tasted too horrible? Or was undercooked, etc?

I do this all the time, just for the hell of it . Especially while traveling overseas, as it's easier. I enjoy the thrill of finding new things hidden just off the beaten path.

Have you ever biked more than 50 km in one trip?

Nope, never.

Have you ever gone paranormal investigating?

Nothing official, but I have hung around supposedly haunted locations. Just never done any investigating.

Have you ever went somewhere (such as work or school) and realized you've forgotten things you needed just before arriving?

I do this often enough for it to be normal. I am usually forgetting something small too, like, picking up cat food on the way home from work. Forgot my ID at work when I went to lunch one day, and then couldn't get back into work because you need your ID to do so. Lol.

I really like when I get up and go into a room, and then forget what I got up for.

Have you ever done the polar bear plunge (Jumping into a freezing body of water in winter, in nothing but a bathing suit?

 

[The Hammer]

Have you ever returned food to the kitchen @ a restaurant because it tasted too horrible? Or was undercooked, etc?

If it tastes bad, I will not return it, but if it is undercooked I will. Even if I think it is awful tasting I will just claim I am not hungry and go somewhere else to eat later, or force myself to eat it.

Just curious...why won't you send it back if you dislike it? I will send it back, if it tastes nothing like what it should lol ^_^

Never have done the polar bear plunge, nope...lol Although it looks way cool to try it!


Have you ever had someone display road rage at you, while driving?

 

[The Hammer]

I ordered it, so I know what's in it, if I don't like it, that is my problem not the restaurant's. It's partly my upbringing, partly my own stubbornness.

I have eaten enough crazy things to know what I do and do not like, so it is rare I order something that tastes bad to me, unless it is physically cooked wrong/undercooked.

To everyone: have you ever eaten crazy food? What was it?

EDIT to answer: Yes, I have had lots of people display road rage at me. Typically, because I am displaying it myself. Lol... I hate a**hole drivers because I am one.

Back when I ate beef, I had Ox tail soup. I also once has cheddar covered crickets.

Have you ever gained fluency in another language?

 

[Adramelek]

I have never been sky-diving but I would love to one day. Have any of you ever performed a Black Magical Ritual Working?

Nope, but I know a smattering of Spanish, and Japanese. No fluency in anything besides English (American), and Sarcasm.

Have you ever jumped out of a perfectly good airplane?

I have, and it was probably one of the most effective magical workings I have done (even if the results were not intended).
