Ten Things

[den]

Ten things I've done I don't think any of my friends have done.

1. Raised an echidna from baby to release.
2. Stood for 2 hours with my left leg wrapped to the knee in a bag because there was a 6 foot long diamond python up my pants.
3. Stood under the stars in a place so dark, Venus cast a shadow.
4. Held a bat that weighed less than 1 gram
5. Imped a Wedge-tailed Eagle
6. Mined for black opals in Lightning Ridge
7. Stood on the flight deck of HMAS Melbourne
8. Touched a Zero that bombed Pearl Harbor
9. Helped the zoo vets dart an angry wallaby, before breakfast
10. Appeared in News Of The Weird and a Hombrewer's Journal AND a Norwegian newspaper, all because of something I did.


Supplementary: 11. Peewees.

Wow....impressive! Number 2 comes close to my idea of a living nightmare (yes, I'm a silly girl that is scared of snakes.....bit of childhood trauma involving a rattlesnake, but that's another story)! Would love to be able to experience Number 3, and Number 10 just made me laugh! I'd like to share that one with my mom (AKA "Shadow Vixen" in LJ-Land).

The snake was very calm and relaxed UNTIL she was touched, then she constricted my leg. There was no way we could remove her when she was like that, so we bagged my leg and waited for her to come out. Of course, she loved my warm skin and almost settled into my pants leg permanantly. I had to wait until she felt safe enough to leave.
