Girls Gone Wild


What is something you have done that is really daring or crazy?

In my wild high school years, I did all sorts of crazy things. One fun-but-crazy night in particular: I went to a dance club with my friends, and no one was really dancing because it was only 9PM. So she dared me to go out on the pretty-empty floor and dance. If you regularly read my blog, you know that I sometimes worry too much about what people think.

I kinda had the reputation, though, that I wouldn’t turn down a dare. So I went out there. Then my friend dared me to jump up on this little platform thing and dance. And when I did that, they put me up on the jumbotron screen at the front of the club for everyone to see! But what I found out was that it wasn’t so scary; when it got more crowded, I went up again! And after a few more trips, I convinced my friends that it wasn’t scary, and they joined me up there!! 🙂

Sometimes, it also pays to take a risk with your food. Now what could this be???

Let’s do the math. Don’t worry; this is fun math: Spaghetti squash + Coconut butter = love! See?  Fun math! It does exist.

    Something daring I’ve done? I know I must have done SOMEthing daring in my life, but I just can’t think of anything on the spot. But I love tat you’re going to answer formspring qs on the blog now, because I don’t “get” formspring, so this way people like me won’t be left out.

    I really have to order some coconut butter soon. You make it sound sooooo good! That’s a cute story about the dance club! I only dance crazy in public when I’m wasted…which happens more often than it probably should. 🙂

    As for crazy things I’ve done … hmmm, I’ve done a lot of stupid things. But crazy? Well, one night, I went with a group of friends out on the Mississippi River bridge (an interstate bridge connecting Memphis to Arkansas across the Mississippi). We walked along the pedestrian path next to the busy interstate, and then we climbed down a man-hole (intended for highway workers) in the center of the bridge. The man-hole took us down to this beautiful ledge under the bridge and we could see all the Mississippi from there….with big rigs rumbling over our heads. It wasn’t safe or legal, but it was worth every second.

    that’s a wonderful story, katie. and your so beautiful that no wonder they put you up on the big screen!

    I still can’t find coconut butter anywhere! Gah! I have to enjoy it through you. Keep posting those yummy ideas, girl!

    You sound like you really lived your high school years to the fullest!
    I’m not usually a daring person, but whenever I’m away from home, like on vacation or once when I went on an exchange program to England, I feel brave. The year I spent in England, I felt like a completely different person! And my parents thought so too when I told them the things I was experiencing!

    Getting my tattoo was really daring for me. I’ve always been a big wuss (and afraid of needles to boot), so the fact that I gathered up enough courage to get a tattoo was a big deal.

    Inspired you can buy coconut milk(the full fat one) and put it in the mixer. It comes out like butter or a very thick cream. And it’s delicious.

    I travelled solo in Ecuador. I was scared before I went, but I met so many great people while I was there that I probably wouldn’t ahve had I been with someone.

    I knew that was spaghetti squash with coconut butter before I scrolled down, and I bet it was delicious.

    Daring or crazy? I packed up after college and moved to Europe. I worked in London and bummed around for a few months. One of the best experiences of my life. Oh, and then there was the time I up and quit my stable job to attend massage therapy school. That worked out too. 🙂

  11. Susan says:

    It’s not necessarily daring (I was pretty desperate) but I recently broke into my house with an old health care card after locking myself out! I felt pretty bad ass afterwards.

  12. Michal says:

    If only all math could be fun like coconut math 🙂 Hmm something crazy I have done? Well honestly i havent done anything really crazy which kind of bums me out! But im only seventeen so i still have tons of time!

  13. Stef @ moretolifethanlettuce says:

    lol great story! and ya you do have a weird email…for like 6 months all of your messages to me went into spam!

    OH girl I have a lot of stories, but I remember I was out to eat with my older sis and her friends. And we were celebrating me passing my real estate exam (which another story) but anyways so I have had one too many glasses of wine. And then a band comes and ask for volunteers to help, so I jumped up and played the “cow” bell. I felt like Will Ferrel in the SNL Cow Bell skit. hahaha It was so funny!!!

  15. Lauren says:

    Crazy thing I’ve tried…making tempeh sausage. I’m only have kidding. It actually turned out delicious!!!

    My goodness, after reading the varied stories in the comments it seems that trips are the way to go for memorable experiences AND slightly ususual (yet still awesp,e) behavior . I need to sign up for one as a graduation gift next year – hopefully I’ll be able to afford it by then!

    I wonder if acorn squash would work for the Artisan. Tonight my fam will find out : )
