Signed up for a 'hiking tour' of Italy somehow mistaking 'hiking' for 'marching' ... guess what ... HIKING is UPHILL!Let's just say that a) I thought I was gonna die -- and that b) a group of retirees were out pacing me and taking turns 'pulling up the rear'/babysitting ME so I didn't get eaten by wolverines or fall off the darn cliff faces.![]()
OR
Joining a 'wilderness retreat group' ... and going away for a weekend with them WITHOUT A SLEEPING BAG. I thought we'd be staying at like a lodge or motel or something! HA!!!![]()

At my last job our agenda consultant (PR gal) quit suddenly with three fashion shows left hanging...on a whim I told my boss I could take over, no problem. Unbeknownst to me at the time was the fact that she did triple duty as the commentator, organizer of the events, and ''stylist.'' I had no experience commentating, and very limited experience at organizing such an event (3-400 guests per show), just a weekend in Atlanta at the Merchandise Mart as a college student doing some small fashion shows. I snuck two glasses of white wine before commentating the first one, and was off and running. No one was ever the wiser, and it was worth the risk because I was able to add the experiences to my resume! Oh, and did I mention I planned our wedding in the meantime? I really don''t know how I did it. I must have been nuts, looking back on it now...
All the rest of my nutty moments are best kept in the past...some were legal, some were uhhh, not.![]()
Aww...I am glad you didn''t let him be the one that got away...Date: 1/24/2007 12:32:05 AM

I called 411 to get an ex boyfriend''s number after not seeing him for 6 years. Called up, got him on the phone, met for drinks that night and were married a year later...I just decided to take a chance, he could have been married or in a relationship, but I just thought it was worth trying!
I thought she was going to say that, too!Date: 1/24/2007 12:44:53 AM

Me too, we laugh about it sometimes, because it really was fate in a way...and now 17 1/2 years later, think we are doing okay! (married 16 1/2)
I thought you might say you married the Greek guy!
No...I married an Aussie guy after I somehow made him think that entering the U.S. greencard lottery might be a fun idea. That''s probably one of the more kooky things HE''S done. And he won...go figure!Date: 1/24/2007 12:44:53 AM

Ok, I ''think'' this is the kookiest. I was about 14-15, hanging out at the local park with a bunch of kids. There is a HUGE hill there. I have no idea of how steep or the length, but kids use it all the time for sleigh riding, to give you an idea.
Someone dared me to roll down it in a metal trash can. So I did.![]()

OMG you sound just like me! I'm much better at team sports than the outdoorsy type stuff like snowboarding, skiing, biking, etc. The problem with me is, I'M SCARED TO DEATH OF SPEED. Any sport that requires you to ride on a piece of equipment at high speeds scares the bejeezus out of me. I've snowboarded ONCE. After attending a group lesson, we were asked to go down the bunnyhill. Out of a class of 20, I was the LAST ONE DOWN THE HILL....and basically I fell all the way down. Every time I picked up speed, I'd panic and sit my butt down. Ally, at least you overcame your fears and became a boarder, but after my one humiliating and SLOW bump down the bunny hill, I said "never again."Date: 1/24/2007 12:49:12 PM

Went snowboarding last winter. I'm REALLY not the snowboarding type of girl. I've never been skiing and I frankly despise snow-outdoor sports, but my guy bought me all the equipement as a Valentines day present so I had no choice but the try. (He's a big snowboarder) Anyways....oh my gosh it hurt. I nearly killed myself a couple of times fell on my FACE managed to avoid those stupid moving-trees. I'm actually a natural athlete though, so after the first cringe inducing period, I like to ride ALOT now.![]()
But so far out of my comfort zone. And nutty by my standards.
It''s so fortunate that you were ok!! A black diamond run... eep!Date: 1/24/2007 1:36:26 PM

i think mine is probably when i was learning to ski, going up to Heavenly with a bunch of coworkers and my then bf, on a work/conference trip...and telling them that i was just a beginner yet somehow letting them convince me that i would be okay up on the BLACK DIAMOND mountain.because no one would go with me to a lesser mountain and i didn''t want to go alone since i had no idea where i was.![]()
well i made it down 1/2 way (crazily and veering and out of control and just about peeing my pants!)....but on the 2nd half...yeah it was bad...i took a serious spill, lost about every article of clothing and my skiis, ending up almost on the edge off the mountain near a nice big tree, and i wrenched my knee, almost tearing my ACL. had to be taken down the mountain on a stretcher and recovery of knee took weeks...i blew it out again once after that playing volleyball so it''s totally a ''weak link'' now...thanks to that fabulous mountain and my awesome coworkers who were ''so sure'' that i''d be fine on the black diamond. uh yeah.![]()
