Ganked from a number of sources:

The Challenge:

- Post 3 things you've done in your lifetime that you don't think anybody else on your friends list has done.

- See if anybody else responds with "I've done that." If they have, you need to add another!(2.b., 2.c., etc...)

- Have your friends cut & paste this into their journal to see what unique things they've done in their life.

1. I met the 1996 recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, Bishop Carlos Belo.
Side note: I asked him how he felt about the fact that President Clinton would not meet with him. He diplomatically dodged the question, which I then rephrased and asked again. He smiled, and answered it the second time.

2. I went to Belfast, Northern Ireland as part of an exchange program, before the 1998 ceasefire.

3. I made strains of HIV that are WORSE than the ones found in nature for my thesis project.

( However, if anyone is looking for a superior husband )

These tests measured more my level of sheer fucking laziness, than my suitablity as a marriage partner.

Call me Posty MacPostsalot.

I am sweet, like Sugar. I am all sweetness and light; fluffy bunnies and dancing fairies; happiness and joy. Too much of me will make you sick. What Flavour Are You?

Fluffy bunnies and dancing fairies? LIES, ALL LIES!

I have to present a paper in lab meeting next Wednesday. It is titled "Semen-Derived Amyloid Fibrils Drastically Enhance HIV Infection". Working on a sexually transmitted disease brings unintentional comedy to my life on occasion.

Ganked from several people on my flist.

Please share something you think I should do or try to do in 2008. Big or small, silly or earth-changing.

If I like it, I just might do it.

You bet your bottom dollar she can. She just did. :-P

What I like (love) about you- fashionably late edition:
shadowravyn
1. You are witty and sarcastic. You make me laugh like an idiot all the time.
2. A vast portion of your books are not science fiction/ fantasy. It's good to know another geek who reads lots of books outside the genre.
3. Your tolerance for stupidity is just as low as mine.

rainbowsbright
1. You are a survivor. I only know an inkling of what you've been through, but I do know that you're still a great person despite it all.
2. You bravely came to my potluck picnic even though we haven't seen each other in 10 years, and you wouldn't know anyone other than me.
3. You are very forgiving.

In order of the comments:
queende:
1. You inspire me. Whenever I'm down about something, you always say the right inspiring and hopeful thing.

2. Your questions about the universe either make me think, or laugh, or both. See: why is Nickelback popular?

3. You are incredibly kind. You inspire me to be kind to others, even when my patience may be short.

empressstacie:
1. No one knows me better. I can tell you anything, everything (and believe me, I have), and I know that you will never judge me. Nor does anything I tell you shock you (at least, not anymore ;-) )

2. You are sasstastic, and fabulous and sexy.

3. You are my icon. And my hero.

4. You are my bestest friend in the whole world. I know that we haven't been in touch much lately (and that's my fault), but I know that whenever I see you, or talk to you, that the time passed never matters.

nightskyre:
1. You have a great sense of humor, and share it freely.
2. You're honest without being mean about it.
3. You have a giving nature.

dontcallmemolly:
1. You can out-raunch me. And you don't mind when I am raunchy.

2. You have taught me that pot roast is not disgusting.

3. You give me many insights into life and love.

Because I am BORED...

During this extraordinary speech, Bingley had looked questioningly at his sister, but at her last statement, he started visibly, then looked to Darcy for his reaction to Caroline's newest cast for his approval. It took all Darcy's self-control to prevent the telltale twitch of his lips as, with a solemnity worthy of a bishop, he assured Miss Bingley of his confidence in the success of her search. "Although," he concluded, "such constancy in the perusal of its lines must make its loss almost immaterial, for you will surely know much of it by heart."
