1. (Whipped cream)  Sorry, no.

2. (dance, music high) Egads!  What's wrong with me?!

3. x (laughed until you cried)  Oh yeah!  Harry Potter, anyone?

4. x (cookie dough)  I made cookies at a friend's house.  The cookie dough we made was even better than the cookies.

5. x (been sick, how many times?) Oh dear.  I had a cold a little before Halloween.  I remember not being able to sleep over at a friend's house because of it.  Then I got *drum roll* bronchitas.  Three weeks of coughing - not so fun.  And then, I got over it and the doctor's gave me the flu mist, so I wouldn't get it.  You know what follows: I got a cold.  At first, we thought it was just the flu mist, but no.  I'm just getting over that now. :( Over a month.  Been sick three times.

6. (limo/hot air balloon) not this year.  Maybe next?

7. (more than 10 hrs on a computer)  My mom would get me.

8. (hugged someone, don't know them)  I don't think this year.  But when I was younger.... Yeah, it was a party and I came into the kitchen where everyone was hanging out, and I went up to a women and hugged her saying, "Hi, mom."  Or something like that.  The whole room was laughing.  I was bright red.

9. (worn pajamas in public)  nope.

10. x (spent the night in a hotel)  I went on a road trip this year.  'Nuff said. :)

11. x (swam in the ocean) On the other side of the country!

12. (Snuggie) ???

13. (HPB) *eyes widen*  I wouldn't be here!

14. (screamed for Cricket or Muse)  Maybe jumping up and down.  Maybe squealing.  Not screaming, sorry

15. x (memorized song on instrument) I play violin and piano and this is inevitable. :)  I have recitals frequently and stuff like that.

16. x (seeen a jellyfish) in an aquarium, if that counts

17. (drawn on your hands)  there's something with me and drawing on your hands.  I think it's wrong.  Is it?

18. X! (watched yourself in moniter in grocery store)  Since I was little.  I love to wave at myself.  I do that in banks, too.  It's fun!!

19. x (gone 2 days without CBing) Sadly.

20. (sprayed someone with silly string)  I can't stand in on me, so I don't like to provoke anyone, if you know what I mean.

21. (cried yourself to sleep) not this year.  almost, but one tear doesn't really count

22. x (concert) I've played one.  And been to one.

23. x (screamed at the TV) "What are you thinking??!!"  Yeah, not my loudest scream, but you get the idea.

24. x (traveled to another state) I went on a road trip.  'Nuff said. :)  (26 states, by the way)

25. x (talked in another language just to confuse people) Merci!

26. x (spun in a circle, fell over) Yep!

27. (spent more than 4 hours on a video game)  Maybe.  At a friend's house.  You see, I couldn't do it at home, 'cause I don't have any of the stuff.  But I doubt it.

28. (ridden on a horse/pony/unicorn) Sorry, not this year. *pouts*

29. x (written a song or poem)  They're all bad, but they're there.

30. (sung 'Put a Banana in Your Ear' at the top of your lungs) I've sung it.  Loud.  Not at the top of my lungs

31. (got dressed, left house, no school)  I wrote a story about this, but it didn't actually happen.

32. (played manhunt) Sorry. ????
