Never Have I Ever...

Sunday, I drank human blood at a local orphanage.
I should probably back up though. We were volunteering at an orphanage in Kandy today, and we were painting a room for them, and cleaning the kitchen. The paint was in a handy dandy plastic container that required you to cut along the outside of it before it could be opened. Luckily, I had a swiss army knife with me, which I then used to cut the plastic strip and part of my thumb. It was deep enough that it bled a lot, so I put it in my mouth while someone dug up a first aid kit. I’m fine, and I have every hope that it’ll heal without complication. Of course, this means that during a game of “never have I ever,” I can no longer say “never have I ever drunk human blood in a Sri Lankan orphanage.” (for those of you familiar with that game.) Max, can I get 5 bonus xp for character research beyond the call of duty?
After volunteering, we went back to the ISLE center to watch a movie called “Grizzly Man.” When I get back to school, we should watch it together. It’s a documentary about a man who spent 13 consecutive summers filming and living among grizzly bears. It’s really a funny movie, I think without meaning to be, because this guy was crazy. I think. He had a boundless love for the bears and nature though. In any case, I think that any description of the movie will fall short, so we should watch it together sometime, and laugh.

Sure Nik, go for it. Though I'm totally going to use that in the next game of never have I ever that you and I are in.
