The Strike-Out Challenge

The Strike-Out Tag Challenge

Heidi’s such a dear. I asked permission this time, and she agreed. As you can see, no one can resist my charm.

Huh, interesting. No rules for this one. I believe that’s my cue to take liberty in going haywire.

Without further ado, have I ever…

Kissed someone – On the lips? And not as a threat to my younger sister? *police car noises blaring* [through megaphone] Absolutely not.

Gone to a rock concert – Hm. No.

Helped someone – …I want to say yes. No trick question here?

Gone fishing – Rue the day. Days? I did it thrice, but the most recent one was not fruitful, to say the least. A trio of rowdy kids don’t attract dem fishies.

Watched four movies in one night – Is that even possible?!

Lied to someone – No, I am an utterly flawless human being.

Failed a subject – A test, yes, but an entire string of them? My inner perfectionist could never.

Been in a car accident – My baby sister, who was a baby then but not anymore, did experience that in a minor sense. She came out with no injuries, so no worries there. The last time I checked, she was (is?) still alive.

---

Convo Insert:

Me (Breanna): “Hey, Chrisha, are you alive?”

Baby Sister: *stands and grabs a pillow with dramatic flair; walks over to me, stands ominously* “Did you just ask me if I’m alive? Huh?!” *raises pillow* “Hmmm?!”

Me: “But are you alive?” *grabs the pillow and hits her with it*

Baby Sister: *falls and dies*

Apparently not.

Or something like that. It’s hard to communicate without making it into its own story.

---

Been in a tsunami – No, but it’s only a matter of time, considering where I live.

It was a joke, Mom.

Me averting problems in life:

Sees tsunami, reverses from said tsunami.

Watched someone die (including pets) – How depressing. No to that.

Been to a funeral – Yep.

Burned yourself – Yes, again. Clumsiness for the win.

Run a marathon – Nah.

Spend over 10,000 bucks in one day – In dollars? Who’s got that kind of cash?! Definitely not this jobless minor. Nope.

Flown on an airplane – Oh, do you mean…✨”aErOpLaNe”✨? Flashback to Peppa Pig days, when we all had British accents. But in response to the question, yup, I have.

Written an 18-page letter (front & back) – I don’t quite see why one would do that. So, no.

Gone skiing – Nuh-uh. Have you seen the number of headlines of people dying from skiing accidents over the past 20 years? Me neither. But I’m pretty sure there were some. I’ll just stay in the comfort of my home, typing way and providing content for you all.

Lost someone you loved – Yep. Sadly. But we’ll meet again one day.

Got into trouble for something you didn’t do – Willingly or involuntarily? If so, yes.

Stolen a book from a library – The answer is no, not even if I wanted to. I don’t have libraries to steal from.

Gone to a different country – Mhm. Japan, Hong Kong, America, and Canada, in reverse order. I believe I’ve been to America and Canada twice each, but my memory fails me.

Gambled in a casino – EXCUSE ME, MA’AM. *police car noises return* My underage self could never.

Been in a school play – I’m homeschooled, so…we might not have the same idea for that one. I had a separate organization for theatre, though, so if that’s what you mean, I give a fat thumbs up. Even as a sideline character, viewers said I stole the show. Viewers, as in the moms of my friends and the friends of my mom. Still counts.

Taken a lie detector test – Those things are fake. No, nor do I have plans to.

Voted for someone on a reality TV show – I’m so dull. Another resounding no.

Read more than 20 books a year – No, but this year I will! Five books left to finish before I can say I did this.

I’m getting in the groove. School’s been rocky, and I only picked up on reading because of blogging.

Update (10/9/2023): 23 books, and going strong!

Gone to Europe – Perhaps one day. 🥐

Had surgery – Uh-huh. I had one for some vascular tumor on my head. I fell asleep halfway through.

Had stitches – Ooh! Yeah, I did, for that benign tumor I mentioned. It left a ghastly hole, so they had to close that up. Don’t ask me why I’m excited to share this.

Ridden a tuk-tuk (autorickshaw) – My country has its own version of this. We call ’em tricycles. I don’t know if that counts, but yes.

Had more than 5 IM conversations at once – Come on, guys. I’m not that famous.

Third time using this, and I have no shame.

Been in a fistfight – No, but I can be unintentionally aggressive, so it’s for the best.

Had a pet – Have a pet. 🐕👈🏻👍🏻

Petted a wild animal – Yup. Do lions count? He was part of a safari (caged, sadly), and I fed him milk. I didn’t touch him otherwise, but I’ll still say I did.

Had your own credit card & bought something with it – Haha! *cries in broke coz I don’t have my own money*

Dyed your hair – Nope. My hair color? Oh, it’s ✨natural✨.

Got a Tattoo – How Old Do You Have to Be to Get a Tattoo?

“…the minimum age requirement in the United States is 18…” US, as in YOU-S (as in, I’m not a US citizen), but I’ll take what I can get.

Had something pierced – Weird way to put it, but I have ear piercings and no recollection of how I got them.

Got a straight A – As one does.

Taken pictures with a webcam – Nerp.

Gone to sleep with music on – I find silence a better companion.

Isn’t it funny? When required to tag, I don’t, but when I don’t need to, I do. The power of lack of pressure.

Tag, You’re It!

Congratulations…
