    Drawing to an inside straight. :)

    Seriously, sports. Especially all the sports at which I've previously broken bones (mine, that is - I have yet to break anyone else's :ohwell: ).

    Dancing.

    Rock-climbing.
    Wilderness hiking.

    All the stuff I used to be able to do when I was younger. (Okay, maybe not *all* of it :wink: ).

    This, even though I'll try in a few years regardless...
    I would love to try sky diving... not failing meaning I wouldn't die.
    I'd love to try climbing a "waterfall" in a jeep... A waterfall is a dry spot where water once ran and it's very bumpy and can be steep... not failing would mean I wouldn't flip the jeep over while climbing up the waterfall... This is climbing a waterfall in a Jeep... http://s156.photobucket.com/albums/t23/rokrash/Jeep Stuff/Wheelin Pics/Moab 08/?action=view&current=MOV00325.mp4

    My fear of failure and a bit of lacking funds keep me from learning to swim and learning to ride a bike. I want a bike so badly, but haven't found one I could afford. My friends are trepidatious to say the least about letting me borrow theirs because they know that I don't know how to ride and don't want me to ruin theirs in what I can only think is a huge fiery crash a la stuntman movie in their imagination. Swimming is a biggie. The only place close enough for me to go would be a friend's pool (only one of mine has one and her husband is a d!ck) or the Y which is over an hour away. I'd feel so ashamed if I drove that far just to have a panic attack in the parking lot and go home. My friend keeps inviting me to the pool at her gym but that's a very long way from my house too.... even farther than the Y. I have had an extreme and unreasonable fear of drowning since I was about a year old which was magnified when I fell in at a creek at age 5, hit bottom and only popped above water one time. Had to be rescued and it still haunts me.

    If I could not fail:

    Teacher
    writer
    actor
    comedian
    doctor
    architect
    landscaper

    I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. :)

    I'd go for being an astronaut. I really *really* want to get off this planet, if only temporarily.
