I am....umm...36 years old (urgh!) and I have never:
* seen or read Twilight or any of that series
* thought that the two main characters of that series are in any way or form 'desirable'
* travelled further than Fiji (8 times) but need to rectify this
* cared for Harry Potter
* seen Karate Kid (not even the first one)
* been bungy jumping (don't fancy jumping off a bridge with an elastic band round my ankles)
* ever wanted to own an automatic car (did once for a month or so, HATED it so sold it for a manual!! OH YEAH, I like to DRIVE my cars not have the car change gears for me...takes the fun outta it!)
* seen pumpkin in a can before! (come on, I know you strange Americans have everything in a can or packet!)
* made cakes, cookies or any baking that is NOT made from scratch.

Hmm... Jobe seems to have a fascination with wanting to throw, punch, and juggle things... maybe he'll attempt all this on his first venture outside the US, while watching Easy Rider... 
JOY--I will sample some of your baking ANYTIME, and yes, as a proud and strange American, I just so happen to have 4 cans of pumpkin in my cupboard that I plan to make custard with!!!
What can I say... we Americans like convenience!!! (I can add this to my list of "I have never..."--I have never baked a cake from scratch, but would like to someday.)

I know.
It's not for lack of trying though. Zookeepers are just too good at their job, can't get within 50 feet of a penguin before being tackled. Had a chance once to do the cat juggling but they were declawed, just no point doing it like that, takes all the fun out of it I would think. Also my ex never saw the humor when I'd ask about tossing her, it's not like I meant in the street, just to the couch across the room, big fluffy pillows.

Joy and Seoulsearch......I'm american and I've never made or even heard of making custard from a can of pumpkin. Kim, maybe you should write the recipe out for us in the recipe forum??? And that reminds me....I have a cool recipe for a pumpkin dip to go with graham crackers I should write for the recipes forum too!!!
I have never..............made any of my family's BIRTHDAY cakes from a box mix!!! Always from scratch! ---Kim....it's really not hard at all!!! and they just taste better I think too!

I'm 34, and I have never built a house. (But I will.)
I have never been kissed.
I have never won a fistfight. (I walk away from them...not that I've been in one since high school.)
I have never broke any bones. (Though I've tried, honestly.)
I have not owned a TV for close to 10 years.
I have set fire to a bathroom rug when I found out that deodorant is highly flammable.
I have eaten food off the floor that was there longer than the 10-second-rule.
I like disco.

I'm 27 years old (darn that hurts to say) and I've never:
-Been stung by a bee. As a result I have a built up anxiety about what it would be like and I have a little phobia over it.
-Owned a dog. I'm a little afraid of dogs too.
-Seen snow. My sister has and she said it was really disappointing. Just like frost from the freezer.
-Intentionally been overseas. Apparently I went to Papua New Ginea when I was a baby, but I don't think it counts when you don't even remember it. And I spent half my childhood on an island off the coast of Queensland, but it's technically part of Australia.
-Tasted caviar. Or seen it besides in movies for that matter.
-Intentionally been on a date. Lol. I won't go into that. Those that know me a little might get it.
-Caught a fish I didn't have to throw back. I suck at fishing. Only been once and cast so badly that my hook kept getting tangled with other disgruntled fisherers.
-Peacefully lived in the same house with anyone. I guess I'm just someone who needs my space. Or I just suck at the whole people thing.
-Seen cherries on a cake and been able to resist stealing one even if I'm not having any cake.
-Been pulled over by the police in my car. I'm dreading that one day it'll happen and I won't know that that's what they were trying to do, or that I won't be able to find a place to pull over safely and they'll think I'm ignoring them.
-Called the police. I'm never sure what constitutes a serious enough situation to do so and what number I would call if it wasn't a life or death emergency.
-Understood what's going on in politics enough to vote intelligently.
I could probably go on but I think that's enough raw honesty for one day.
