What are 10 things you've done that other people probably haven't? 
Submitted by Janette.   

1.    I was tasted by a turkey vulture.
2.    I gave my resume to Oliver Stone.
3.    I met Oliver North.
4.    I have helped with wiring for a concert (it gets messy after a while).
5.    I have hosted a movie night for a local radio station.
6.    I dressed up as cupid on valentines day, passed out candy and sold shots.
7.    During my insomniac days In Oswego, I'd walk to the harbor and find a bench to sit on and just think.  I only mention it because I never ever met anyone else out there.  ;)
8.    A classmate and I created a small digital library called the Orrin Stone Digital Library that's hosted at the school I went to.
9.    I took the time and made the effort to get to know someone who had a terrible reputation.  After I discovered she had passed away, I discovered that I might be one of a very, very, very, small number of people who knew her better and differently that anyone else ever would have bothered to.  I received a number of really unsavory comments that either were an attempt to varnish my impression of her or question me.  Maybe it doesn't sound like a big deal but when she had passed away and when I heard so many people act with either indifference or slight joy, it bothered me.  I had to deal with her.  When I asked a few questions about things of hers I noticed or were told about her and when she knew I listened she was very affable. Had she done bad things?  Yeah, I don't doubt it.  She never took any crap from anyone and her humor was sometimes acerbic - to put it lightly (yet it cracked me up).
10.  I completed this list and realized what a dork I am.
