a few things i never want to experience again

the divine miss scarlet charged me with this meme. of course, this was ages ago and i've been in a tizzy to try and narrow it down to come up with 10 things i never want to experience again. so here it goes and no, i'm not explaining anything.

10. acid
9. officially questioned
8. stupid drunk
7. fired
6. breaking bones
5. hollywood curls
4. pixie bangs
3. pneumonia
2. being served

and the #1 thing i never want to experience again

i can't even tell you.

it's an interesting thing to start thinking about those things you'd rather forget ever happened and even more interesting to share them. this might not stay up for very long...

  1. Ouch on number 6-breaking bones. I definitely wouldn't want to repeat that!

    Oh, numbers 10-acid and 8- stupid drunk could lead to number 9-officially questioned. And I've been stupid drunk on occasion :)

    Did you have the Hollywood curl and pixie bangs at the same time?

  2. eros...re the perm and the bangs, no, so it was 2 MAJOR hair mistakes! *sigh* xoxox

  3. An interesting read! But excuse me please for asking a stupid question: What is "pixie bangs"? And "being served" means you jumped out of a cake?
    (WV reads "conam" .. yeah Franconia is a wild country ...)

  4. 10. Was not illegal when I was in high school.

    5. Initially mis-read it as "hurls." Sorry.

    1. :( What if I sent you a nice box of chocolates?

  5. My goodness me, what an interesting life you've led. I sense fodder for a best-selling novel in there somewhere. ;)

  6. pixie bangs! will you tell me the number 1?

    ReplyDelete
  7. I can't relate to #4 and #5, but the other 8 are horrendous.

    And I agree with Eleanor: there is a novel in there. Which reminds me, I need to reread The Valley of the Dolls again, my all-time favorite trash book.

  8. Hi Savannah,

    "...this might not stay up for very long..."

    Having listed these, do you think anyone will forget acid, hollywood curls or pixie bangs?

    All I can say is that I congratulate you for being willing to share them.

    You're still my sister...xxx

  9. Fascinating.
    It sounds like it was a bit painful for you to do this.
    Does bangs mean a fringe?

  10. pixie bangs: my word girl, I never knew you were away with the fairies;-)

  11. When hairstyles get listed as worse than broken bones and being arrested, you have GOT to post pics of them on your blog :)

    ReplyDelete
  12. I share the broken bones but otherwise I think I must have had a fairly sheltered life.
    Up till now. There ls still time for all hell to let loose.

  13. Hey...I just thought I'd drop by.

    You're just a tease. How can you not say what #1 is? Meanie.

    I'm so with you on #3, that is officially, Not Alot of Fun.

  15. Oh man, no explanations?!?! You're cruel :)

  16. 4 and 5 are a mystery to me but the others seem spot on.

    If I got you stupid drunk, would you tell me what number 1 is???

    Prettyplease???

    ReplyDelete
  17. Oh it's all so painful.

    I think most of the things on my never-want-to-experience again list are things I can't tell anyone...

    bless you for sharing!

    ReplyDelete
  18. I love your list and your honesty!

    Wonder what my list would look like.......

    ReplyDelete
  19. I have never had to endure 2,3,4,5 and 6....but I feel your pain....acid, I never want to venture that way again, fun yes, but never again...

    ReplyDelete
  20. Wow. That's a list NO ONE wants to ever experience. I'm sorry you had to do it the first time.

    PIXIE BANGS. *shudder* me too.

    I'm with you on; 8, 7, 6, 5, 4.

  21. You can take it down now because I've written it in my diary: pixie bangs, you? I tried Hollywood curls myself and it was definitely worse than broken bones, I had to shave my head. Still, we live and learn, XXX

    ReplyDelete
  22. Acid was awesome!!
    Now THAT is gettin' HIGH!

    Miraculous as it may seem, I have never had pixie bangs..honest!

    I concur with your decision to keep your worst nightmare private.
    I'm certain that the people at the sperm bank are still talking about mine

  23. Great list! I gave myself pixie bands once—I was 7 and didn't like my Dutch boy haircut, so I took a pair of play scissors to my bangs, and things got out of control. My mother had to take me to the hair dresser to make the rest of my hair match. Actually, it's not unlike how my hair looks now 40 years later.

  24. Pixie bangs? Hollywood curls? This is fascinating, even if I'm now off to google to find out what they are.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Now see what you've started: somewhere in London there'll be someone doing an accountancy exam sat behind a lady with pixie bangs.

    i realised afterward that the list might be understood as in order of importance, but that wasn't my intent. BUT, all evidentiary proof has been lost, so believe me when i say, it was not attractive, sugar!

    it's so nice to talk to someone who knows what you're talking about, sugar! Painful memories! xoxox

    i love y'all's current look, sugar! i wish i could say my adventure with pixie bangs had been a childhood diversion! *sigh* xoxox

    Blogger Madame DeFarge said...

    Pixie bangs? Hollywood curls? This is fascinating, even if I'm now off to google to find out what they are.
    we're not talking current manifestations, sugar! don't think of kirsten dunst loose curls or posh spice pixie bangs! look further back in time! masses of spirals = hollywood curls and my pixie bangs, well, i can't bear to describe them! xoxox

    Blogger Kevin Musgrove said...

    Now see what you've started: somewhere in London there'll be someone doing an accountancy exam sat behind a lady with pixie bangs.
    yikes! what have i done, sugar? xoxo

    An interesting read! But excuse me please for asking a stupid question: What is "pixie bangs"? And "being served" means you jumped out of a cake?
    (WV reads "conam" .. yeah Franconia is a wild country ...)
    a hair style, sugar, best left to the young! and no, no cake jumping, receiving legal papers*sigh* xoxox

    Blogger xl said...

    10. Was not illegal when I was in high school.

    5. Initially mis-read it as "hurls." Sorry.

    1. :( What if I sent you a nice box of chocolates?
    it was when i dropped it, too, sugar! and i felt like hurling when i saw my hair! thanks for the offer, but #1 happened many years ago. xoxox

    Blogger Eleanor said...

    My goodness me, what an interesting life you've led. I sense fodder for a best-selling novel in there somewhere. ;)
    i think it's been done already, hon, but thanks! xoxox

    Blogger supernana said...

    pixie bangs! will you tell me the number 1?
    yeah, what was i thinking? and you already know the answer. xoxox

    Blogger Charlie said...

    I can't relate to #4 and #5, but the other 8 are horrendous.

    And I agree with Eleanor: there is a novel in there. Which reminds me, I need to reread The Valley of the Dolls again, my all-time favorite trash book.
    y'all make me laugh, sugar! thanks! xoxox
