Ten Things I've Done That You Probably Haven't
1) Been to dinner with a Rockefeller at his house. Regularly.
2) Got a kiss on the cheek from said Rockefeller as he dropped me off at my dorm after dinner one night, inadvertently starting a rumor that he was having an affair with a college freshman. (No, I didn't tell anyone the mysterious freshman was me.)
3) Applied to a college on a Wednesday, was accepted on that Thursday, found temporary housing that Friday, got offered cool dorm space on Friday night, packed and moved that Saturday, started classes that Monday.
4) In one semester was believed to be "intimately involved" with over 10 different men (including two married professors) - never got my sources to be clear on whether they thought I was doing them all at once or what - at a time when I was most decidedly still virginal. (And *damn* I wish I *had* been involved with some of them!)
5) Have had a short film I was in screened by big wigs at Paramount, Touchstone, and a number of other major film studios and didn't find out about it till years later..
6) Once fell *UP* two entire flights of stairs. (In front of the majority of my high school. Sigh...)
7) Was maid of honor for my best friend at a fabulous wedding and then never saw her again. She called once 6 months later, refused to give me a phone number or address and I never heard from her again despite numerous attempts on my part. For no apparent reason. 16 years ago.
8) Had a precognitive dream about the assassination of Itzhak Rabin - right down to assailant, weapon, location, and group responsible - the day before it happened. Thought it was just a weird fluky dream till it showed up on the news.
9) Stage-managed a complete outdoor production of Macbeth, complete with huge live sword-fighting and a live drummer as musical accompaniment for the show, with no crew. (And lived to tell about it!) (Which goes with an earlier time when I disarmed a crazy actor who pulled a sword on me and in one move slammed it back into his side sheath and slapped him upside the head without stopping to think about it. He peed his pants. And the rest of the cast was very, *very* well-behaved for the rest of the run.)
10) Came into a live role-playing game as an NPC (Non-Playing Character) Bodyguard effectively - no skills, no weapon proficiencies, no money, no armor) - and intimidated everyone into giving my "employers" everything they wanted. If even *one* person had challenged me the whole thing would have fallen apart. Guess I'm believably threatening. ;)
