✵ Strike Out Challenge!

I’m doing something fun and a little different today! I found this challenge through Lifesfinewhine, and though it is old, it looked too fun to pass up. It’s a super simple challenge; I’m just striking out the ones I’ve done before and leaving alone the ones I haven’t done.

Some of these are good things. Some of these are bad. Do follow along and count how many from the list you have done. And let me know your final count in the comments below!

Kissed someone – Nope, unless you count unromantic kisses. 😂

Gone to a rock concert – Haha, also no. I don’t like rock music. I like going to hear beautiful symphonies and such. 😆

Helped someone – Of course!

Gone fishing – I went a lot when I was little.

Watched four movies in one night – I think I’d be asleep before the second one finished. 🤣

Lied to someone – Welp.

Failed a subject – I nearly failed three of my courses a year or two ago. At one point, I had good ol’ F’s for Statistics, Computer Science, and U.S. History. It was like a living nightmare, I kid you not. 24/7, I felt like I couldn’t breathe. It was my mom who forced me to finish my work. I choose to think of this as a little miracle, but I actually ended up getting things done and passed all three classes with A’s.

Been in a car accident – When I was little, our dad crashed the car while he was backing out of a cramped spot. I remember bursting into tears. 😂

Been in a tsunami – No, but I’ve been in the middle of quite a few tornadoes!

Watched someone die (including pets) – Grateful I haven’t. Unless fish count?

Been to a funeral – Haven’t been to a wedding, either.

Burned yourself – Yep, I’m clumsy like that.

Run a marathon – I don’t think I would be capable of such heroic feats.

Spend over 10,000 bucks in one day – Ahaha, this makes me sick just thinking about it!

Flown on an aeroplane – A lot.

Written a 18 page letter (front & back) – I’ve written lots of letters, but never that long! How in love do you have to be to do that?! 😙

Gone skiing – Yes, it was super fun!

Lost someone you loved – Some are dead. Others are still alive.

Got into trouble for something you didn’t do – The perks of being the eldest of three. 🤷

Stolen a book from a library – Ugh, shameful. I was a middle schooler, and I accidentally walked out of our school library with the book I’d been reading. The sensors didn’t beep, and I was already past them when I realized I had forgotten to check the book out. Then I was afraid to walk back in because then the sensors might actually beep. Obviously, now I would just go back and check the book out, but I didn’t then.

Gone to a different country – I’ve been to Canada and China before. And a million others through books. 😉📚

Gambled in a casino – I have been to a handful of casinos, though.

Been in a school play – I was once a reindeer in an Elves’ Impersonator play.

Taken a lie detector test – No, but is there such thing as taking one for fun? (I’d like to take one for fun…)

Voted for someone on a reality TV show – Nah, I don’t watch TV.

Read more than 20 books a year – I’m currently at 125 this year!

Gone to Europe – I missed a chance to go. 😭

Had a surgery – I’ve had ear surgery before.

Had stitches – Nope.

Ridden a tuk-tuk (autorickshaw) – Yes!

Had more than 5 IM conversations going on at once – Not with texting but yes with social media.

Been in a fist fight – Not… exactly.

Had a pet – Just a few beta fish and goldfish.

Petted a wild animal – We rescued a baby bird once, and it was so cute!

Had your own credit card & bought something with it – I know myself well enough to not trust myself with a credit card. 😂

Dyed your hair – Maybe when I was very young.

Got a tattoo – Nope, and I don’t think I’m going to.

Had something pierced – I’ve wanted my ears pierced since I was seven. 😭

Got a straight A – I would expect no less of myself.

Taken pictures with a webcam – Yeah, of course!

Gone to sleep with music on – Literally all the time. 😂

I removed a few of the original questions because they might not be appropriate for everyone.

I would also like to nominate the following blogs/bloggers to do this challenge if they so wish. 🥰
