You may not know this about me, but I jumped off a cliff once! Well, technically it was called gorge swinging. And it. was. TERRIFYING!
That's it over there --------->
The Zambezi Swing. The exact one I did! Backwards like that! (That's not me though. That's a guy. I'm not a guy.)
You may not know this about me, but I have a tongue piercing. Yup. This sensible, introverted girl decided it was a good idea to get a piece of metal shoved through her tongue. And when I became a teacher and opened my mouth to shout at my naughty class for the first time, all I got in response was looks of wonder and, "Ooh, you have a tongue ring? You're so kewl!"You may not know this about me, but I have a tattoo. Mmm 
hmm. Another sensible move on my part. Sensible because it's NOT a skull/skeleton/umbrella/some other gross or random picture. Sensible because it's NOT somewhere on my stomch where it will swell up one day when I have a baby. (Um... seriously hope I don't wind up with fat ankles one day!)

You may not know this about me, but I love Wikipedia-ing things. For example, once I figured out that kartoffelpuffer was NOT a completely ridiculous and imaginary word made up by the fabulous Rachael Harrie, Wikipedia informed me that kartoffelpuffer = a shallow-fried pancake of grated potato, flour and egg. Thanks, Wikipedia!

Oh my gosh. I would never be able to jump off that thing! You're a lot braver than I am. lol.
Don't feel too bad about the piercing and tattoo. I've got lots of metal in my face...and a home-done tattoo on my ankle. Darn those crazy teen years.
Oh, I couldn't jump off that bridge! Oy, the nads you must have, girlie!! Good on you! Glad you won the cliffhanger blogfest - you had my vote! Yay you! Have a great weekend!
Oh, I totally want to go gorge swinging! That looks awesome. And thanks for sharing these things about yourself. :)
Wow, gorge swinging? You're braver than me!
Love your post, and (wow!) wouldn't have picked the tongue ring and tattoo!!! Great to learn more about you ;)
I could (probably) do gorge swinging - looks really cool! It's free-falling (eg bungie jumping etc) that I'd have trouble with :P
Rach
Holy crap you're one brave cookie! (can cookies even be brave?????)
1. Wow, you're brave!
2. I was a teacher for several years, too, and I loved it. It can be such a fun job.
3. I think you win in the seamless dpt. Nice post! And a pleasure making your acquaintance. Looking forward to reading more...
The first three things on this list don't fit the type of person I am AT ALL. (I NEVER would have gone gorge swinging if the friend I was on holiday with hadn't convinced me!)
Here's to breaking out of the box!!
*raises a glass*
I miss my tongue piercing. Gorge jumping looks awesome!
Gorge-swinging looks like a lot of fun! Seriously, I'd do it. :D
Now I wanna go gorge jumping too.
Tattoos, piercings all the things I really wanna do if I weren't so scared of needles
Three things I've thought about doing but never have: jumping off a cliff, getting a piercing and getting a tattoo. Seriously. Go you for living life dangerously.
Rachel - Fun stuff, girl!! It's great to do things to through people off!!! I used to love to cliff jump - from terifyingly high heights. I have a tattoo too. Hee hee. Who wants to be predictable, right?
=D Great post!
Those are lots of interesting things about you! Thanks for sharing.
Doris
Some very interesting facts aboout you Rachel. I couldn't do the tongue piercing thing but the tatt looks nice. But jumping off a cliff - oh no!
O...M...G! I could NEVER jump off a cliff like that. I bow down before you!
I want to go gorge swinging! That looks like SO much fun! :D
Oooh, gorge swinging!!! I notice you mention it was terrifying, but you don't say if you actually had fun... LOL. But I definitely want to do that someday. Not so much the tongue piercing though, haha.
