Experience 100 new things by the end of December 2012. (read all 47 entries…)
30- 38.

I have completely neglected this goal. I do experience new things, but I forget to write them down. Here’s some of the recent highlights:

30. Go to the nude beach with a friend: awkward at first, but well worth it for all the attention my gorgeous friend attracted to us! Sleazy men are hilarious.

31. Cook (a simple) dinner all by myself for eight guests. Liberating.

32. Go to Lancaster, PA. Lots of corn, not as high as an elephant’s eye, though.

33. Dutch Wonderland amusement park. Happy family time!

34. Meson Ole and sangria with the ladies.

35. Walk past the ranger station on the private road to Kismet.

36. Do a seven person conga line out of the fro yo store. (Still laughing about the look on the employee’s face.)

37. Epic fake rubber sword fight in the pool, complete with thrusting shouts and kung-fu quotes.

38. Roll around on the ocean floor and remain completely calm.

38:

I was dipping in some rough, wild waves, and I miscalculated the speed and distance of a particularly huge wave. I didn’t dive under fast or low enough, and the force smacked me on to the ocean floor where I tumbled for a bit. Now, normally, this would be upsetting, but I had this neat experience where time seemed to slow and I was very aware of my calm thoughts. I reasoned (as I rolled) that I was close enough to the shore, and the waves were pushing me closer, that I could just hold my breath and wait, and when I naturally surfaced, I would be able to stand up. I was right. I stood up and staggered to the shore line and sat to collect my breath. It wasn’t even particularly uncomfortable, except for a few scrapes on the sand. I still don’t know why I was so calm- I’m not usually the calm type. ; )
