What is something really fun/cool/awesome/unusual that you've done recently?

Let's share our experiences.

This past weekend I went to Seattle with my troupe director (the woman sitting on the arm of the chair in my av) for MedFest. We went to the Seattle Art Museum to look at the Impressionist exhibit. It was awesome (in the true sense of the word) to be in the same room with these paintings. And not only that, they showed some earlier paintings that influenced the Impressionists. They had some as far back as the 16th Century.

And then we went to a Middle Eastern restaurant and had baklava. If you've ever had baklava you'll understand why it is noteworthy!

:-)

About a month or so ago I went to the Birmingham(Alabama) museum of art to see the Pompeii exhibit. After we went through the exhibit we browsed through the Renaissance art galleries.

^^ Haha, that's kind of cool, I suppose.......... kid kid

I attended Flashback Weekend horror convention earlier this month and met lots of horror icons including George Romero, Angus Grimm, and lots of the members from NotLD, Phantasm...oh, and Elvira

I held my tarantula for the first time-

I was in a wedding a couple of weeks ago in Portland.

I'm counting down til my mommy comes home from Portugal.
Let's see...87 more days :(

I got lost in a cemetary with my friends. We kept hitting dead ends. No pun intended.

I would love to get lost in a cemetary but all of the cemeteries around me are too small to get lost in.

Ours is pretty big. We kept trying to find our way out, but no luck. It took us forever to find the car too. It was fun though. We found graves of two of George Washington's soldiers who were tortured to death by the Seneca natives. It was interesting to read and their monument is beautiful.

I've been to the cemetery once n my life and that was when my godmother died.

Was it Mt Hope by any chance? These arent the best pic's but they're good. If you can find your way to the old old part things get really cool.

It was! I took some pics but they turned out crappy. I'll show them anyways when they upload. I seriously need a map to find places there. I've been to the old part once. Can't find it anymore. I actually live about 10 minutes away from it.

I love that place, hardly get there though but its really good for the walking if you want to take a bit of an adventure. I never use any sort of map, I just wander around until I hit a gate or fence or something next to the road and follow it out or I remember where I was and just go back. Pretty much if you cut a straight line from any point in there you'll hit road.

We got lost near the fire dept. tombstones. We were driving out and the GPS took us to a dead end several times. At one point we had to drive backwards on the sidewalk. People on the road were staring at us. It was hilarious.

I love going there to walk around. It's great exercise and at the same time you get a beautiful view.

Sat on my porch...hahah

When I sit on the porch I get treated to a funny territory battle over the hummingbird feeder.

Saw a skunk earlier and picked her up. So cuddily.

I'm partially Lebanese, and my great grandmother made the BEST traditional baklava. I miss it...

LUCKY duck!

(Do you snag any pictures while you were there, by chance...?)

I had a wacky last weekend;

Saturday was the memorial show for my friend Paul who passed away, and it was a very cool time. His band preformed, along with four others, and we raised a nice little chunk of change for his family and a charity in his honor.

Sunday, I went to Coco Bongo, for gay-night, which had a pool-party theme. So I went in my bathing-suit trunks, fishnets and 6-inch platform boots. The drags were very impressed with my balance, being that the foam machines and sprinklers put about two inches of water on the dance floor, and I never slipped or fell once; and I was dancing my little ass off btw. I went with $20, and had 12 drinks...ladies and gentlemen were buying the kid drinks all night.

I had a lovely young lady who works with me spend the night, and she and I saw The Dark Knight Monday afternoon...which if anyone has yet to see it, stop being a douche and get there.

Then last Tuesday, I was at meetings and training seminars all day, but to keep it fun, we had impromptu dramatic performances detailing hypothetical situations at work. I played a guy at a bar who was stood up by his blind-date and became a drunken mess after 30 minutes of her no-showing. Got that standing ovation..woohoo. Then afterward all was said and done, the regional and district managers took a group of us out to eat at Point Pleasant, and then we played some miniature golf. I won by the way out of 16 people, broken into four groups of four, I scored that (39).

Then I ended the day by doing something I haven't done in a decade; I took off my creepers, and walked right into the ocean at 8:22pm, fully dressed in grey B.C. ethic slacks and black button down. Most people on the beach though I was crazy...they don’t know me well enough to know how crazy though.

Wow, you weren't kidding when you said you had a wacky week. I've always wanted to see someone walk fully clothed into a large body of water. That's awesome!

Wow,that puts my nights out to shame.

My motto is this: If we're going out...we're going all the way.

Oh wow Portugal! I have always wanted to go there!

So this is my first post on this thread!!

One thing that I did that was awesome was go caving! Every summer I work at a summer, camp and this time I led groups of teens down a river and into some really sweet caves!!!

^I think the actual word for cave exploration is "spelunking"...

But welcome SPF!
