You know, it occurs to me that my life has definitely had it's hazards. Last night I was talking to my mom and she mentioned the *other* fire I was in when I was a teenager. This made me think of other times I've been danger-prone.

The list goes something like this:

Various near-drownings between the ages of 1 and 5. (I'm a much better swimmer now.)
Burning my fingers as a toddler on the stove.
Getting pneumonia when I was 3. (I hallucinated for a couple of days...Cartoon skeletons tap-dancing on the walls in front of me. Damn you, Walt Disney!!)
My stupid brother shooting me in the leg with a bow and arrow when I was 12.(Rassing frassing kid brother arrgh...)
A big fire at a senior citizen's complex I worked in as a teenager. (Of course I was working that day.) It burned to the ground, but nobody was hurt.
Nearly going off a 20 foot cliff after the car skidded out on some ice. *whew!*
Holding off two would-be-muggers with an empty Arizona tea bottle.(They got scared and ran away. I'm a mean Maus.)
Choking on a lamb-kebab two years ago. (I heimliched myself over the table, and it saved my life.)

And of course, my little adventure this weekend...I keep telling people, "NOOO, I DIDN'T do it!!! I had nothing to do with it!!!" My friends don't belive me...*grin*

Hm, I'm having second thoughts about meeting you in June!! ;)

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

I promise i won't bring any candles!!!

[serendipity.livejournal.com]

And maybe we shouldn't go near large bodies of water, stoves, Disney movies, absolutely no archery, no cars near ice or cliffs, and no kebobs whatsoever.

*chuckle*

I promise, I'll de-jinx myself before June. No kebobs for me, I promise.

I think we should have you hermetically sealed.

*gulp*

But I won't be able to breathe...um....death is bad for me, really it is...

Wow...you're the real Danger Girl! You're either immortal or a danger magnet. You must have more than nine lives because this week was your tenth, although burning your fingers isn't life threatening. Please be careful! I want to see you again soon!

You're either very lucky or very unlucky... When I was two, I almost fell down a two story laundry chute... Luckily I got scared and hung on... My 5 year old thought I was going to die. He was quoted as saying "We'll never get another one!"

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

Man, that must have been scary!!!!
(siblings are weird like that, have you noticed? *shakes head*)

[sirreal13.livejournal.com]

The scary thing is I left out the word "brother" so It looked like I was 2 years old and had a 5 year old!!!!

*snicker*

how precocious you were as a child, monsier!!!:)

[zanzhera.livejournal.com]

You were shot in the leg...? Haha, that's nothing, my dad was shot in the eye! No kidding!

Re:

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

Really?!?! Ack!!!! What happened to the poor guy?

Re:

[zanzhera.livejournal.com]

He lived:) But he's got a glass eye.
I think he was about 12 when it happened - he and two friends had made bows and arrows and then one of the others shot him in the eye - by accident, of course! Ow...

Re:

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

Yep, bows and arrows can be dangerous like that. I'm glad your pop lived to tell the tale. *shudder*

Re:

[zanzhera.livejournal.com]

Yup. And because of that little incident mom&dad never let my brother and me play with bows and arros...

Re:

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

Smart of them!!!

(My brother didn't exactly have permission..he got them out of the garage when mom wasn't looking. Little twerp.)
