The haves and the have nots...

[denny]

Idea yoinked from nisaba

I have never...
Passed any A levels.
Been a passenger on a commercial flight.
Seen the pyramids.
Learnt to swim.
Smoked (tobacco or hash).
Been paid for performing in a stage-show or similar.
Had a boyfriend.
Parachuted.
Abseiled.
Slept with anyone famous :)

But I have...
Earned a first class honours degree.
Flown a plane, rode a motorbike, and driven a car, a lorry and a bus. And a speedboat, briefly.
Met and been backstage with many of my favourite bands.
Stage-dived.
Tried/used most drugs (often to excess).
Played with fire-toys.
Come/been out to family, friends and co-workers.
Been recognised by people that I don't know, in towns I've never visited before. And not from LJ.
Written software that other people choose to use.
Had my photo on the front page of the (local) paper. In a good context, before you start :)


Not a bad life, really. And as nisaba observed on her similar post, still a few years left to catch up with those 'have never' items that I'd like to move to the 'have' list.

I've never passed any A-levels either, but then I was in the wrong country for that :)

I have been a passenger on a comemrcial flight, smoked tobacco and hash, learnt to swim, and had a boyfriend. I've also tried various drugs (although not really to excess)... in fact that's the only 'have' of yours that I've done.

Huh. After I went and looked up "abseil" I realized that I've done it more than once. I highly recommend trying it!
