Hey, thanks for changing your comment box to a pop-up! Otherwise I definitely wouldn't have replied to this one, because I had too much to remember.
OK, first of all, #22...I was 12 years old and trying to ride a bike 15 miles to the next town. I got tired at about 13 miles (sad, I know), so my dad and I waved someone (I knew them) down and they gave me a ride into town while he kept biking. But it WAS hitch hiking.
#30 Have you seriously never watched a sunset, or did you just overlook that one?
#55 Cool, what movie?
#58 LOL did you have a cool outfit?
#87 Oh, come on, PETA! :-) J/K, I've personally only done fish, but I've been with people plenty of times to witness pigs, cows, chicken, deer....I'm a small-town girl!

You're right, I did overlook # 30 - I only have about a thousand pictures of sunsets & sunrises! As for #55, I've been in a bunch - mostly just as an extra - but I was a "featured extra" in Travelers (I didn't have any lines, it just means the camera was really darn close). That's where I met Mark Whalberg and he fell madly in love with me. I hated to tell him it wouldn't work out - we come from two completely different worlds...he was heartbroken. #58 - I had to wear what looked like white pajamas. I don't think I ever even made it out of white belt status, but I can do a mean roundhouse kick!
