This blog was inspired by the book: 101 things do to before you're old and boring by Richard Horne and Helen Szirtes
1. Send a message in a bottel
2. Run up an escalator the wrong way (I did this back in high school with Taline at Fairview and I was holding my tape recorder the entire time, while recording. When I finally made it up to the top I was laughing and out of breath and I said to her: haha ha, and you thought I could not make it!)
3. Make an origami crane ( I once made a pink flamingo without even knowing what I was aiming for!)
4. Learn how to tell when someone likes you and when they don't
5. Keep a dream diary ( I have written my dreams when I woke up and still had them fresh in mind and I think most of them could be movie scripts!)
6. Touch these creatures (easy for me because I had pets and studied EWM):
-Mouse (I had pet mice and also did small mammal trapping at school.)
-Butterfly (I had one land on me at the botanical gardens when the butterflies are free. I also collected all kinds of bugs for a school project.)
-Worm (I must have been a child the first time I played with a worm but the last time was during a worm watch presentation at school.)
-Bird (I had a cockateil for a while and did bird banding at school.)
-Spider (Who has never had a spider land on them? Daddy long legs are cool to hold. They kill a bunch of flies and mosquitoes so do not kill them!)
-Snake (I owned a Ball Python previously and held all kinds of snakes during the exotics course in Animal Health at Vanier. Even my interview at Granby Zoo required that I hold a very large Ball Python.)
-Frog (I had African Red Belly toads and Albino frogs. I also caught a few native species during the frog study in Lachute.)
-Fish (I use to be afraid but I had to face my fears when I had to manipulate fish for measuring, tagging and weighing labs at school and worked in a pet store when I caught them sometimes by hand.)
