Ten Things I Have Done That You Probably Haven't

I have a distinct feeling I should know better than to get involved in a meme. But nonetheless;

1. Walked through an old cemetery and picked up a skull.

2. Eaten nettles.

3. Entered a swimming pool dressed in Georgian costume (petticoat, skirt and overdress, shoes and stockings). On camera.

4. Wounded a man with a knife. On camera. For real.

5. Performed poetry to the accompaniment of a jazz trio.

6. Submitted a 45 minute film for an Honours thesis (it had a plot).

7. Set a trip wire trap on a secluded bush path. While dressed as an orc.

8. Felt a cold spot.

9. Attended Up-Helly-Ah, the fire festival in the Shetland Islands.

10. Chatted with Peter Weir about pyramids.

Publication

By the way, I have an article in the current (March) Dragon, "The Petit Tarrasque and Other Monsters". It takes a number of the common D&D monsters and strips them back to their roots in Pliny, Isidore and, in the case of the Tarrasque, the hagiography of Saint Martha of Bethany. It was extremely fun to write, and I hope to read.
