5. An achievement from adulthood you're proud of - passing my Level 4 Trinity saxophone practical exam last year.
Pedro- I wouldn't mind seeing Robin Hood. Looks better than I expected.
Wendy- Sightreading! Impressive.
Amy- Good to meet someone not ashamed of ammassing books. I say be proud, but the multitudes tend to scorn.
Joanna- I think you've mentioned India before, but I'd forgotten. Wow, that must have been a pretty interesting experience.
Ruth- You'd be little e's absolute hero, having played Dorothy!
Maso- You and I are pretty close in age then. For some reason I'd thought you were a bit younger. Must be the youthful good looks.
Beth- Jambalaya sounds very exotic and American, but I'm not exactly sure what it is. Is it like paella? I know it from a Carpenters song:)
Simone- I hope you, like, totally, like Eclipse, like.
Tim- You are approaching hero status there for me. Not only building your own canoe, but eating steak and gravy sandwiches for lunch. Maybe you could be my mentor.
Georgina- Yeah I felt proud of finishing my degree. It would have been tempting to take a year or two off to be a gnarly teenager, so I'm proud that I just followed it through.
Chris- Gee, a kibbutz? That is pretty interesting. That is some fierce dedication to learning Hebrew, alright.
Nathan- Yeah, I'm proud of convincing E to marry me as well. Who woulda thunk.
Soph- That's cool that you won a state competition. Definitely something to be proud of. PS- praying that the baby arrives safely and soon!
Laetitia- A girl dux, hey? I'm impressed!
