How I did it
How to go to a rock concert
It took me
1 day
It made me
deaf.

How I did it: My friend invited me, and seeing as I had never been to a rock concert before, I decided I had better go. It was fairly loud, and I was in a box. I do not enjoy loud noises or heavy bass or strange people touching me, so I'm very glad I was not in the mosh pit. I couldn't make out the words to most of the songs, and I was positive that the bands all said, "This is the best crowd ever!" to every crowd, which annoyed me. I got free food, th… Read how I did it…

How to be an extra in a movie
It took me
2 days
It made me
COLD!

How I did it: I noticed there was an extras casting call going out, and decided that might as well sign up. On the casting company's website, it said that no acting talent was required to be an extra, which was perfect for me. After about 4 weeks, they called and said I was to be "featured" in a scene with the major stars. Needless to say, I was thrilled.I showed up on the day, and the extras were given instruction, then taken onto a bus and to the set… Read how I did it…

How to go to high tea with a friend
It took me
1 day
It made me
cheerful.

How I did it: Convinced a friend to go to tea with me by bribing her with tiny sandwiches. Took a bus to the teahouse. Ordered things. Ate and drank them. Made small talk with my friend. Paid for the food and then skipped merrily home. Read how I did it…

2. Roarke from J. D. Robb’s In Death series
If anyone else has read these books, they’ll know why. He’s rich, charming, gorgeous and Irish. Pefect.

3. Bernard Black from Black Books
He reminds me of me on a bad day, and is hilarious and has great hair. When I get married, I’m forcing my husband to wear his hair like that.

This should be fun... 13 months ago

These are not in any particular order, just the order I thought of them in. Take from this what you may…

1. Jan Fabel (created by Craig Russell)
A half-British, half-German detective trained as a historian. What’s not to like? And the character is in a really great series of books.

learn to play the bagpipes
Well well well... 13 months ago

My first lesson was today and my instructor seems very nice. I’m to work on scales and remembering the notes for the rest of the week. It’s fun so far and my instructor was impressed with my criticism of myself. That’s one thing I’m very good at.
