\*\*Got Caught Telling A Lie:\*\*I’m gonna say yes, although I can’t think of any right now.  
**Got A Speeding Ticket:** Yes  
**Been Arrested:** No  
**Littered:** I spit out my gum the other day, that count? Regardless, no doubt I did in my youth.  
**Fantasized About A Co-Worker:** Yes  
**Cheated On A Test:** No  
**Cheated In A Relationship:** No  
**Failed A Class:** Yes

**Have You Ever?**

Stolen Anything: Yes (minor shoplifting when I was a tween, and it was the “cool thing to do” :rolleyes:)

Been Drunk Before Noon: Yes, but only on vacation, and that doesn’t really count, right?

Had Sex In A Public Place: Yes, multiple times, and probably will again.

Got Caught Telling A Lie: I’m sure I have, but I can’t think of anything specific.

Got A Speeding Ticket: A few, but not in a long time

Been Arrested: Nope

Littered: Yes, but not anymore. In fact it’s now one of my biggest pet peeves.

Fantasized About A Co-Worker: Yes, many times. If you not repulsive, and I’ve seen you, I’ve probably fantasized about you.

Cheated On A Test: I’m pretty sure I have, but I don’t remember for sure.

Cheated In A Relationship: I used to pride myself on my ability to screw around and get away with it. Looking back, I can see that I was a selfish and cruel person, and it’s not something I’ll ever do again.

Failed A Class: Nope

Wished You Were Someone Else: I’ve often wished that I could change genders and become male, but not permanently. Just for a week or so to see what it’s like. Does that count?

Cried During A Movie: Yes. Most recently at Wall-E. Yes, I know it’s a cartoon. Shut up.

Had A One Night Stand: Yes. A few times while cheating, and a few times while single or in an open relationship. I regret the cheating, but other than that I still think one night stands can be fun from time to time.  
Wish Death On Someone: Yes, whenever I hear about truly heinous and brutal crimes, I hope they get the death penalty.  
Been mean to someone else for no good reason: Yes, during my selfish an cruel phase mentioned in the cheating question above, I thought it was fun to “play” people. I was not a nice person. I like to think I’m better now.

Got A Speeding Ticket: Yes - pulled over three times: one ticket, one warning, and one seatbelt ticket instead.

Been Arrested: No.

Littered: Yes.

Fantasized About A Co-Worker: No.

Cheated On A Test: No.

Cheated In A Relationship: No.

**Stolen Anything:** - Does paper from work count?  
\*\*

Been Drunk Before Noon:\*\* - I’m a student - it’s what we do!  
**Had Sex In A Public Place:** Yes, quite a few times mainly in parks and behind pubs!  
\*\*

Got Caught Telling A Lie:\*\* - Not that I know of, I’m a REALLY good liar!  
**Got A Speeding Ticket:** - Nope!

\*\*  
Been Arrested:\*\* - No I’m a good girl.  
**Littered:** - Yes as a child.

**Fantasized About A Co-Worker:** - Yes, I’d actually dating my co-worker!

**Cheated On A Test:** - Yes, oh the shame!  
**Cheated In A Relationship:** - Not in an adult one but I believe I was a heartbreaker in primary school!  
**Failed A Class:** - No, I’m pretty jammy when it comes to not revising but still managing to pass.  
**Wished You Were Someone Else:** - All the time. Anyone thin, beautiful and rich will do! Ideally Gillian Anderson.  
**Cried During A Movie:** - Yep, beaches and fried green tomatoes made me weep my eyes out.

**Had A One Night Stand:** - One or two when I was VERY VERY drunk!  
**Wish Death On Someone:** - Wish I could say no but there are a couple of people out there who have hurt me and are still making my life a misery. I don’t mean it in a petty way - I just want to get on with my life.  
\*\*Been mean to someone else for no good reason: \*\* - Once when I was in primary one I took one of my bubble gums and rubbed it in the dirt and then gave it to a boy in my class. Ugh, I’m so disgusted with myself. Even though this was almost 18 years ago I think about it now and then and feel terrible. There was no need for me to do such a horrible thing to another person.☹
