Makes you feel like you haven't really lived

Nini and Janet both did this today and I am currently trying to kill the last hour of my work day.

Also, I think its time you learned more random nonsense about me.

Apparently it has instructions...ooohhhhh: You're supposed to BOLD if you've done it. And ITALICIZE if you really want to do it sometime in the future. (isn't it nice that used those words to show you what to look for)

1. Started my own blog
2. Slept under the stars

You're deprived.

ninirific said...

Where is there a drive in theater in Miami, FL and why don't I know???? =(

Jossie Posie said...

Janet - LIES!! I went there a ton as a child and I was never offered an elephant ride.

Nini - It was in Alabama on a trip to see the ex-bf. I'm not sure we actually have one here at least I've never seen one :-( Its a shame really, it was so much fun.

I'm still working my way through this one, but I wanted to let you know you have an award over at my blog!

Riding an overnight train is overrated. In fact, it's downright awful.

Pilgrim said...

so okay, i decided i'm going to pick a few of the things that i would want to do with you when i can manage to drag my ass down to your side of paradise: (2) b/c that would just render this sexy no-leg pirate aglow! & well, you know how i feel about the night sky (20) well, just sleeping i would be content with actually, but on a train, it turns into an adventure with cuddling involved, (43) this i've actually done in TN, and with you, well it would be just that much more fulfilling to get to do it with someone witha heart of gold, (52) i'm fairly confident i'd never forget that moment... so thanks for that in advance ;-) there are more, but i'm not going to go there just yet... i think i've accomplished enough damage for one post.

Janet said...

I just melted a little at Pilgrim's comment.

Jossie Posie said...

Sassy B - Thanks love. You are too cute.

Arjewtino - I'm all about downright awful experiences as long as I have good company.

Pilgrim - amor, you are too much at times. :-)

Janet - I know, trust me I melted too. He kind of has that effect on me.

I am thinking about doing this, but I feel like it would just be disappointing. I never rode an elephant either. Punks!
