In Which I Strike Out Without Playing Baseball or Leaving the House…

Happy Monday, Readers! I’m not an athletic person, so sports were never my thing (especially baseball. I can’t throw…ahem, I mean pitch a ball, nor am I likely to hit a home-run *cough cough*. So yeah, I’d be the person striking out all the time XD). However, in this case, striking out is a good thing!

How do you play? Well, you just take the handy dandy list below and simply cross off what you have done, leave uncrossed what you haven’t done, and give a little explanation if you please. Pretty straightforward.

Oh yes, and don’t forget to link back to the people who tagged you! In this case, the two lovely friends of mine, Grace and Lily Yu (yep, if I got tagged a third time I’d be out. Get it? Three strikes, you’re out? … Okay, okay, I’ll stop with the baseball puns and references.)

So, let’s play ball I mean the Strike Out Challenge! (I may or may not have been trying for that ball reference… XD).

P.s Lily said she removed a few of the questions from the original challenge in order to be more appropriate for those she tagged 🙂

---

Kissed someone – Yes and no (hence the half strike lol). Yes in an unromantic way (for family) and no, in a romantic way…so does this mean I strike this out or not?…Hmm…

Gone to a rock concert – Technically, no, because they’re too loud for my taste. We once went to a church service where they played Christian rock and it definitely felt more like a concert than a worship service (just… don’t ask. My ears are still ringing from it all).

Helped someone – Yes, a few times.

Gone fishing – Once with a makeshift fishing pole (we used a stick, some string, and a raisin…the fish never took a bite) and another time with buckets. I even caught a tiny minnow in my hand.

Watched four movies in one night – No, I wouldn’t last that long. I’m not exactly a night owl lol.

Lied to someone – *cough cough* Not something I’m proud of *embarrassed grin*

Failed a subject – MATH!!! I mean, I was pretty okay with it, but for some reason in my final year of highschool, I failed math (I ended up taking an extra semester to review and try the test again before I passed *phew!*).

Been in a car accident – Not a major one, thankfully. A lady clipped our car on the street while we were driving, though.

Been in a tsunami – We were just reading a book with a tsunami (The Dragon, by Jamie Lee Grey), and it sounds terrifying! Thankfully, I haven’t been in one (I’m also too scared to watch The Impossible, which is a movie based off a real story of tsunami survivors).

Watched someone die (including pets) – No.

Been to a funeral – More like a memorial (actually three, if I remember right. One for my dad’s former basketball coach, and two for distant relatives.)

Burned yourself – Ouch! Yep, been there, don’t want to do that again XD

Run a marathon – Haha…remember how I said I wasn’t athletic? Yeah, there’s no way I’d be able to run a marathon, or survive one…

Spend over 10,000 bucks in one day – Aww snap! If only! I don’t make that kind of money (but if someone’s offering me 10,000 bucks, I’ll take it! Ice cream for everyone!)

Flown on an airplane – When I was really little (maybe around four or five?) my family and I flew to a relative’s wedding. I just remember the ground being so far away when you looked out the window, and there were lots of people in the airport.

Written a 18 page letter (front & back) – No, I haven’t done that. I imagine getting a really big hand cramp before even reaching the tenth page lol.

Gone skiing – Nope. I’m not really coordinated to do that. I prefer to stick to solid, non-slippery ground 🙂

Lost someone you loved – Yes.

Got into trouble for something you didn’t do – …Probably? I’m not 100% sure on that.

Stolen a book from a library – NO! Absolutely not. According to one library, I never returned the something-odd-number of books I borrowed (which I totally did, I swear!). I am innocent until proven guilty *nods*.

Gone to a different country – No. But I think it’d be a lot of fun to try.

Gambled in a casino – No, I’m not a risk taker…though I’ve had to walk through a few casinos to get to a different building or street.

Been in a school play – Alas, I’m a terrible actress. I will spare Hollywood of my very raw, non-existent talents.

Taken a lie detector test – Nada.

Voted for someone on a reality TV show – No.

Read more than 20 books a year – I don’t think so. I’m a rather slow reader XD.

Gone to Europe – *sighs* I’d like to, but no, I haven’t.

Had a surgery – Minor tooth surgery; does that count? I hit my mouth with my bike handles when I crashed (I was about thirteen).

Had stitches – Nuh-uh.

Ridden a tuk-tuk (autorickshaw) – Since I haven’t traveled internationally (and we don’t have these locally lol), then no, I haven’t. Maybe that will change if I become a world traveler!

Had more than 5 IM conversations going on at once – I don’t believe my brain couldn’t handle that XD

Been in a fist fight – Thankfully not. I’m not a very aggressive person.

Had a pet – Yes, several! Chickens, cats, and at one point a frog and some pillbugs (erm, not at the same time though. Wouldn’t want the pillbugs to be a frog’s snack XD)

Petted a wild animal – In my dreams. Though, I would prefer if it was a rabbit or a deer, not an alligator or a bear *shudders*.

Had your own credit card & bought something with it – Nope.

Dyed your hair – Never dyed my hair.

Got a tattoo – Ouch. Uh, no….

Had something pierced – Yes, my ears! That’s about as much poking as I’ll take (unless it’s a tetanus or rabies shot.)

Got a straight A – Yes, though I can’t recall which subject (probably pre-highschool math XD. Just kidding 😉 )

Taken pictures with a webcam – No, I don’t have a webcam yet.

Gone to sleep with music on – Nope. Music usually keeps me awake 😉
