I Never

By Dustin Rowles | Posted Under Comment Diversions | Comments (161)



060818_kraft_hmed_9a.hmedium.jpg

Tonight’s we’re going to play “I Never,” a diversion idea that came from Lainey. Actually, I stole the idea from Lainey’s blog without her permission, but it was Stacey’s idea, so I’m absolving myself of the theft. But, while we’re ripping Lainey off, we may as well use some of her examples, for illustration purposes.

I’ve never eaten Kraft Macaroni & Cheese.
My dad thought it was disgusting & wouldn’t allow it in the house when I was growing up. The smell makes me gag and I used to lock myself in my room when my roommates made it.

I’ve never watched “The Wire”
And I kind of have no desire to even though the Pajiba Overlords RAVE about it. In fact, because I’m an obstinate twit, the more everyone goes on about it, the more I don’t want to watch it.

I’ve never owned a brand new car.
I could afford to buy one, I just won’t. It seems like a waste of money and also, I’m fairly certain that buying a NEW car would ensure that I would be in my first car accident. Which brings me to:


So, there you go. That’s how it’s played. You folks can take it from here.

I’ll start:

I’ve never gone camping. Not really, anyway. I’ve slept in a car overnight a couple of times, but I’ve never spent the night out in nature. Nature is dirty. I don’t like dirt.

I've never gone skiing. I'm pretty sure I'd break my leg.
on a dirty note
I've never made out with a girl. I think I'd been more nervous with a girl than I ever have been with a guy.

I've never seen a Bond movie. They've never appealed to me actually. Is that ... sinful?

Posted by: Amy at July 8, 2009 8:43 PM

I've never been to a concert that I wanted to go to. Even though I absolutely love music and, in my opinion, have superb taste, I know no one who has the same taste as me and have never wanted to go alone.

Posted by: Shell'sBells at July 8, 2009 8:44 PM

I've never had sex in the out-of-door-woods.
I've never danced with the devil in the pale moonlight. We just talked.

Posted by: Pinky McLadybits (aka Dangle McGee) at July 8, 2009 8:44 PM

I've never seen Apocalypse Now. I'm a little ashamed of that. But I have Grease and I fucking hated it.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at July 8, 2009 8:45 PM

I've never seen Schindler's List. I tried once but couldn't get more than a few minutes in.

And to also rip off Lainey, I also have never watched "The Wire".

I've never seen a single episode of "Veronica Mars" or "Firefly".

Posted by: Kiddo at July 8, 2009 8:47 PM

Is this literal "I Never" where you haven't done the thing, or drinking game "I Never", where you have?

Posted by: Lauren at July 8, 2009 8:50 PM

I've Never Been To A High School Dance

Our school used to throw dances all the time, and I never went to ONE of them. I mean, I went to Prom, but in all fairness, I was fairly plastered at the time.

I've Never Had a Boyfriend

Yeah, how depressing is that? I can fuck someone on camera and take off all my clothes in front of an entire room of people, but put me in front of someone I like and my mouth goes all dry and my legs go shakey and I start to stutter and look at my shoes.

I've Never Eaten at Taco Bell

Honestly? Never. I've seen commercials for them I guess, but I've never actually eaten there. I'm not that big on Mexican food to be honest with you.

Posted by: Jeremy Feist at July 8, 2009 8:51 PM

I've never been to New York City. I've been all over the US, Europe, Latin America, and Asia. But never NYC.

Posted by: jiggity at July 8, 2009 8:51 PM

I've never referred to myself or anyone else as a "twit". Twat, yes. Twit, no.

Posted by: logar at July 8, 2009 8:55 PM

Pinky, you've never? Oh, you should check out Canada's national parks. They've got lots of woosdy, underutilized trails that a sneaky couple can make use of. Rumour has it. (I almost typed "woody"...heh heh)

I'm going to steal my answer from Lainey's blog: I've never wanted a puppy. Always been an animal lover, but I grew up in a cat household. I love other people's dogs, and I find puppies absolutely adorable. But (much like babies) I just see them as darling little bundles of responsibility and effort that smell kinda funny, and therefore have no desire to possess one.

Posted by: meaux at July 8, 2009 8:56 PM

I've never smoked pot. Allegedly there were some hash brownies that I partook of at a party, but that was never confirmed.

I've never lived anywhere other than the area I was born in. 28 years, college, career, marriage, and I'm still here.

Since my 15th birthday I have never gone more than 30 days without working. Through high school through college and all my adult life, week in week out with only a couple vacations or transitions.

wow, this diversion makes me sound boring.

Posted by: Yossarian at July 8, 2009 8:59 PM

I NEVER ever Tell the truth to my grandmother about the gifts she's gotten me.
They've been pretty bad. She got me glass cats for christmas and foot cream from the joan rivers collection for my birthday. Glad muy mother has better taste and learned from my grandmothers mistakes

Posted by: Dawnsdaughter(nameless) at July 8, 2009 9:00 PM

I've never had coffee.

Posted by: Monica at July 8, 2009 9:00 PM

I have never seen an entire Star Wars movie. I saw a little bit of some of them, and just wasn't interested.

I have never watched porn. See above for reason.

I, too, have never kissed a girl. I'm not saying I wouldn't, but the right opportunity has never presented itself.

I have never been to Canada, even though I lived on the border for two years.

Posted by: ami at July 8, 2009 9:00 PM

I've never drunk Kool-Aid. My dad used to say it was made from shaved crayons and it traumatized me for life.

I've never been drunk.

I've never even tasted a cigarette.

Posted by: figgy at July 8, 2009 9:05 PM

I've never seen E.T. And I'm of the age where I should have seen it as a child and had it completely shape my life outlook.
I've never ridden a bike.
I've never had horchata, but I really want to try it and seeing as I live in TX, it shouldn't be hard to find.

Posted by: myysharona (formerly Sharon) at July 8, 2009 9:09 PM

I've never seen Veronica Mars or Firefly either. I'd like to, but I just haven't.

I've also never seen any of the Die Hard movies.

I've never been knee-walking, puking drunk either. Been right to the edge a few times, but never there. I missed my chance in college because my friends were all to dumb to understand exactly what the phrase "Designated Driver" means, so that task was always up to me. And since college I haven't really had that many opportunities for drunkenness since my husband and I live way out in the country.

Posted by: stardust savant at July 8, 2009 9:10 PM

I like this better when it's a drinking game, by the way. Because the secondary game is "make your friends get very drunk and reveal secrets."

Didn't we all see that crap Lifetime movie with Shannen Doherty, and she's in a sorority or something and the lead singer of some crappy band but some blonde bitch tries to usurp her in every way? Anyway, during a game of I Never the blonde crazy says "I never thought I was pregnant" and then asks another girl "shouldn't you take a drink?" causing that girl's boyfriend to flip out.

Not that I paid attention to the details of that piece of shit, though.

Posted by: myysharona (formerly Sharon) at July 8, 2009 9:13 PM

meaux, I'm a dog-lover and I would NEVER buy a puppy. I mean, if I found a stray one on the side of the road I would take it home rather than leave it to get run over, but I would never willingly get one of my own accord. They are too damned much trouble. I will only have adult dogs.

Posted by: stardust savant at July 8, 2009 9:13 PM

I've never been drunk.

I've never even tasted a cigarette.

Posted by: figgy at July 8, 2009 9:05 PM

You just made me cry a little...

I've Never Had a relationship last longer than a year.
I've Never Thought of myself as possibly being bi until this year.
I've Never Had a one night stand.

Posted by: DeistBrawler at July 8, 2009 9:17 PM

In the same vein as the Kraft Mac & Cheese (which, by the way, I love. I think I lived off that stuff one summer) I've never had Chef Boyardee, also because my parents said it was absolutely disgusting.

I wonder sometimes if parents ever realize the manifest effects what were probably flippant comments will have on their kids...

Posted by: Lindsay at July 8, 2009 9:18 PM

The length of the list of my "I Never's" is depressing. It's very long. *sigh*

I've never been SCUBA diving.

I've never had sex outside. No car, no woods, no tent, never.

I've never voted. Yes, I know, it's terrible. Especially given my other half is in the military. The truth is, my political knowledge would fill a thimble and I just don't feel qualified to make an informed decision. I've tried to become informed but it seems campaigning is more a shit-slinging popularity contest than anything else. And that always kind of disgusts me. On the other hand, I try to never complain about politicians/government because really, I have no right.

Posted by: Eyvi at July 8, 2009 9:20 PM

I've never been involved in a land war in Asia. I avoid classic blunders.

I think you mean Friends 'til the End, Sharon. And it is perfection.

Posted by: jM at July 8, 2009 9:27 PM

I never played poker with a toothless one-eyed pirate who kept picking his teeth with a bowie knife to distract me while his parrot looked over my shoulder and told him what cards I had by using an elaborate code involving vomiting, chirping, and sea shanties.

What can I say, I like King Missile. The entire song is one giant game of I never.

Posted by: myysharona (formerly Sharon) at July 8, 2009 9:28 PM

I've never gotten a ticket (I've had a car and license for 6 years now).

I've never gone skydiving.

I've never faked an orgasm (if I'm not satisfied, you bet your under-performing ass you'll know).

Posted by: Donut Plains at July 8, 2009 9:30 PM

I've never posted enough on here for any of you to actually know who I am.

I've never eaten at White Castle. When I was little my step-mom used to tell me they made their burgers out of monkey lips, and even though I knew she was lying, I think a little part of me still believes her.

Posted by: christine at July 8, 2009 9:33 PM

I've never seen Titanic or Jurassic Park.

I've never watched American Idol, Survivor, The Hills, The Amazing Race or any other reality show on the major channels that didn't have Gordon Ramsay in it.

I've never been with a Ten, but one night I had 5 two's so I consider that a positive achievement.

Posted by: Rubble44 at July 8, 2009 9:34 PM

I've never seen any of the Godfathers.

I've never listened through an entire Radiohead album.

Posted by: buttercup at July 8, 2009 9:40 PM

christine I think monkey lips would be an improvement over what they put in White Castle burgers.

Posted by: Lindsay at July 8, 2009 9:41 PM

I never hooked up the cable in my new house. I've gone over three years with only occasionally seeing television in hotels when on vacation. Mr. Lower and I flip through the channels and laugh. Besides, I fucking hate comcast and very grudgingly have them as my ISP because they are the only game in town where I am.

I have never bought a lottery ticket. I'd rather keep the money in my pocket. I do play blackjack, however. The odds are better if you do it right.

I have never eaten an olive. They just look blech. Only lemon twist in my gin, please.

Posted by: slower lower at July 8, 2009 9:41 PM

I never told my daughter that I was the one who picked out the glass cats for her.

Seriously, I've never been to London even though it's the one place on Earth I'm dying to see.

Posted by: dawn at July 8, 2009 9:42 PM

I've never seen the Goonies
I've never even touched a copy of Twilight, or seen the movie. (I'm pretty proud of this one)

Posted by: battgirl at July 8, 2009 9:44 PM

I've never been asked out on a first date.
I've never taken a driver's test.
I've never dyed my hair (I sprayed it a few times with color).
I've never taken gym class in high school.
I've never tried a drug stronger than pot or acid.
I've never been to the corner store with no makeup on.
I've never been married (and I just don't think I can do it, if asked.)
I've never dived off a diving board.
I've never been in a small plane, and never will.

I'm boring.

Posted by: replica at July 8, 2009 9:48 PM

You've never seen the goonies? Then you've never had a soul either.

I've never had a successful threesome. It nearly happened once, but my wee soldier got frightened by superior numbers and retreated.

Posted by: superasente at July 8, 2009 9:48 PM

I've never been on a commerical airplane.

I've never been stung by a bee.

Posted by: Austin asking for trouble at July 8, 2009 9:54 PM

i've never been to a funeral, as absolutely nobody in my life has died yet. i'm 27. wtf. (i probably just jinxed it. oops.)

i've never seen pretty woman, any of the die hard movies, or a single bond movie.

i've never been able to finish a dairy queen blizzard. and i'm a fat kid, so i have no idea why that is true. but it is.

and as i just noticed it today, i've never kissed/slept with/whatevered anybody who didn't have black hair. guys or girls. i don't know.

Posted by: betsy at July 8, 2009 10:03 PM

-I have never smoked anything (cigarettes or pot).

-I have never gotten drunk, but not for the lack of trying. The last time I got close, I was almost hospitalized since my heart rate went through the roof and I started to break out into cold sweat.

-I have never seen any of the Godfather.

(oh god I feel like such a loser)

Posted by: Vi at July 8, 2009 10:03 PM

I've never posted enough on here for any of you to actually know who I am.

I don't know about that... some of us are pretty dedicated stalkers. *I know where you live, little girl!* Muah ah ha!

Ahem. I mean, I'll steal my answer from Lainey's blog as well: I have never traveled off the Eastern seaboard of the United States. What's more, I've only been to 7 states. And one of those (NC) was one time when I was 15 for a week. I went on a trip with friends of our family to babysit their kid, so I didn't even see anything beyond the little patch of beach off the back of the house. And I got carsick on the way home. AND 4 of those states are the one I live in and 3 around it, so i don't even know if that even counts.

My someday plans are lots of traveling.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at July 8, 2009 10:06 PM

Well I've never been to heaven
But I've been to Oklahoma.

Get serious? OK: Been married almost 27 years and never physically cheated. Tried once, in a semisober state many many many years ago, but she decided against it. Now? No, thanks, couldn't, wouldn't, no matter how much the Pajibettes weep and wail.

Posted by: , (the commenter formerly known as bucdaddy) at July 8, 2009 10:11 PM

I've never eaten a Big Mac, or tried the sauce, despite working at McD's for 6 years (high school through college).

I've never seen a single episode of the Sopranos.

I've never seen Gone with the Wind or the Sound of Music, despite a college roommate who attempted multiple times to get me to watch them.

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at July 8, 2009 10:11 PM

I never expected to see my blog referenced on Pajiba! That was a fun surprise and reading everyone's answers keeps reminding me of all the other stuff I've never done.

I've never eaten sushi. I'm sure it's probably tasty, but I have texture issues.

I've never been outside the US (except to Niagara Falls when I was 7 and honestly, I don't even know if we were on the Canadia side or the US side. My dad insists that we never even took this trip despite the fact that I have pictures of us, with our tragic matching perms, on The Maid of the Mist and standing in front of the Falls. My dad did a lot of drugs in the 70's...)

I've also never eaten at White Castle, Christine and now that I know the secret about the monkey lips, I'm totally never eating there!

Posted by: Lainey at July 8, 2009 10:13 PM

, , I am *certain* there will be much wailing, not to mention gnashing of teeth and rending of garments in despair.

*sigh*

YES, thanks jM.
Haha, someone knows the crappy movie...I'm not the only one.

Posted by: myysharona (formerly Sharon) at July 8, 2009 10:18 PM

I've never seen Firefly, or Veronica Mars, or Doctor Who.

I've never been a fan of Nirvana.

I've never been anywhere outside the United States except Canada.

I've never been in a car accident.
I've never had a cavity.
I've never eaten a Big Mac.
I've never lived outside of Minnesota.
I've never been drunk (or drank much alcohol at all, really)
And I've never liked a Michael Bay Movie.

Posted by: annoyingmouse at July 8, 2009 10:19 PM

I've never had a boyfriend.

I've never seen 95% of the things people are admitting to have never seen.

I've never had a threesome, despite opportunities for both kinds.

I've never had such a hard time thinking of things I haven't done, which is why I'm going off of other people's things. I've been cramming a lot in over this past year.

Posted by: SaBrina at July 8, 2009 10:19 PM

Kolby, I can forgive a lot of things, but you must watch Doctor Who.
Don't you want to go to nerd heaven?

Posted by: myysharona (formerly Sharon) at July 8, 2009 10:21 PM

I've never been to me.

Posted by: branded at July 8, 2009 10:30 PM

I've never watched a single episode of the The Simpsons.

Posted by: RAT at July 8, 2009 10:34 PM

Go Twins?

Posted by: annoyingmouse at July 8, 2009 10:35 PM

I've never made a successful attempt at suicide.

Posted by: Lucas at July 8, 2009 10:42 PM

I've never watched The Wire. I've never listened to an entire Prince album (nor have I seen Purple Rain). And I've never played guitar in a band.

Posted by: ChristianH at July 8, 2009 10:44 PM

The list of movies and television shows I've never seen is staggering. I've never seen Steven King's It, but that's going to be remedied on Tuesday next week.

I've never seen the ocean, which I hope to remedy one day.

And I've never been on a cruise, but I'm going to New Orleans for a week later this month, and I'm going on a short river boat cruise on my birthday. Woo!

Also, I've never had sex with a man. Yup, I'm a gold star lesbian.

Posted by: Tyburn Blossom at July 8, 2009 10:47 PM

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at July 8, 2009 10:47 PM

I have never watched the Titanic...but that is okay since I have a bet going with someone that I will die the oldest "Titanic Virgin" in the world.

Ditto on American Idol.

Posted by: shake at July 8, 2009 10:48 PM

"Never have I ever" has a better ring to it.

So:

Never have I ever climbed up to the top of a jumping platform without jumping off it, no matter how high.

Posted by: Ling at July 8, 2009 10:50 PM

Things I pretend to have done but have actually never done:

I've never passed a driving test. Six and counting.

I've never worn pantyhose with suspenders.

I'm Australian and from a seaside town and I've never surfed or participated in any water sports.

Posted by: Rebecca H. at July 8, 2009 10:54 PM

I can't decide if it's good or bad that I'm having a hard time thinking of something for this diversion.

I've never eaten at White Castle either though - and I never wanted to.

I've never seen a ghost (nor fucked one, nor made pottery with one).


Posted by: Cindy at July 8, 2009 10:56 PM


Deist, I do drink, just never enough to get drunk. But cigarettes are a total deal breaker for me.

Oh I've got another good one: I've never driven a car for more than 15 minutes, and that was in a parking lot.

Lainey: don't ever try sushi. It's nasty.

Posted by: figgy at July 8, 2009 10:56 PM

i never have been positively sure on any decision i have ever made

i have never had a mani/pedi/facial/wrap/even a massage or anything of that sort.

ive never eaten sushi

ive never been on a team or played any sport in school or otherwise.


Posted by: samma at July 8, 2009 10:58 PM

Add me to the "never been drunk" crowd, although I drink wine and scotch semi-regularly. I like the alcohol, I just don't like very much of it. As soon as I start feeling even the slightest bit tipsy, I no longer want to drink any more.

I've never seen the Godfather movies, the African Queen, or Flashdance. Even though all my friends in high school were obsessed with Flashdance, somehow I always missed watching it.

Posted by: Phaeolus at July 8, 2009 10:59 PM

I have never broken any of my own bones.
I have never dislocated any of my own limbs.
I have never had stitches.

6 years of wrestling and 5 years of kickboxing. I was very lucky (the only permanent injury I have is ironically from jogging on a cold day in Minnesota).

On a more pleasant note, I've never worked in the food industry. Um, I've never had a threesome either -- is it worth trying, or is it better left to the imagination?

Posted by: VampireSlug at July 8, 2009 11:03 PM

i've never watched arrested development or veronica mars.
i've never lived alone.
i've never eaten cocoa puffs. since cereal milk repulses me, the thought of chocolate cereal milk really sends me over the edge. and now they have those awful cereal straws! barf!
i've never had sex on a beach--the drink or the deed...and i live near a beach!
i've never played guitar hero.
i've never ridden a motorcycle.

I've never broken a bone.

I've never been farther west than Georgia or farther north than Connecticut.

Posted by: jM at July 8, 2009 11:09 PM

I've never seen a single Bond, Indiana Jones or Star Wars movie.
I've also never smoked a cigarette, had a boyfriend, or been to Canada.
Oh, and the Canada one may only be weird since I live in Maine.

Posted by: Erin S at July 8, 2009 11:10 PM

I've never been inside an Abercrombie and Fitch

I've never watched The OC (a great accomplishment when you consider that I was in 9th grade when it started)

I've never been in the hospital for anything other than my own birth.

Posted by: Claire at July 8, 2009 11:10 PM

Branded-Touche!
Me? I never got married.
I never didn't have Macaroni and Cheese. (But I'm Canadian and it's called Kraft Dinner and it is aw-ful-some!)
I never got to date the gal I had a crush on in High School.
I never got to know the joys of a normal childhood, due to circumstances beyond my control and that weren't my fault. Which is why I never got married and never dated that gal in H.S.
I never completely felt a sense of triumph.
I never meant to reveal this much.
Beer.

I've never been in an airplane.

I've never been kissed, hugged, fondled, groped, etc., at all, by anyone.

I've never taken the SATs.

In my sheltered life, these are the things that keep me up crying in the night.

Posted by: Cait at July 8, 2009 11:17 PM

My God, I read through all of that and the only things I could agree with were:

I've never seen Doctor Who
I've never had sex with a man
I've never been to Canada
I've never been in a threesome

Oh, and I've never jumped out of an airplane. There's that.

I don't do so well with the jumping from great heights thing, so I'll add bungee jumping to that list, too.

Posted by: ahamos at July 8, 2009 11:19 PM

But I promise to show battgirl The Goonies as soon as possible.

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at July 8, 2009 11:20 PM

I've never been to a funeral, which is ironic seeing that Six Feet Under is my favorite TV show. I've had relatives die, people have come and go, yet I've never atteneded a funeral. Strange if you think about it.

christine Making monkey lips posts like that is no way to stay a lurker. Compliments! Just think, in every small town there are a couple deadly funny people, and when you dip your foot in the Pajiba waters, some of us just stay little fish and some of us bring dynamite like "White Castles are Monkey Lips." Yay! sincerely.

bucdaddy has never been to Facebook, and thus forfeits his month in the Pajibette Beefcake calendar.

I have never smoked pot. As a teen my edges were 89% straight with occasional bouts of drunkenness.

I flatly refuse to watch The Wire or listen to any sound originating from the direction of Jeff Tweedy. That shit is good for you like granola and decaf and soy cheese and thus verboten in my house, where it's all Man vs. Food and Hayes Carll and cheesburgers and espresso. And Heart disease and obesity and premature death.

I've never smoked crack, though for a summer there in grad school, I was kinda tempted to try it when all the regular coke the Applebee's wait staff supplied up had run out.

I've never fallen in love with anyone who would eventually deserve that love. I didn't ever take the love back from those guys; I simply altered it and made it into something else altogether -- more innocuous and less fragile.

I've never fucked a stinkstar. Well, on a girl anyway.

I've never been to Canada, though something tells me I'd be oh-so-happy there.

Been married.
Been divorced.
Been re-married.
Fathered a child, won a custody fight, and raised said child as a single-father.
Eaten it.
Drank it.
Smoked it.
Shot it.
Surgery.
Caught on fire.
Stitches.
Broken bones.
Carried a dead body.
Popped an M18 smoke grenade in my first apartment.
Dated inter-racially.
Had a threesome.
Kissed a boy during a drunk game of spin-the-bottle.
Drove a '79 Buick on two wheels.
Co-hosted a radio morning show.
Interviewed Zachary Levi.
Invented a word.
Parasailed.
Waterskied
Snowskied
Foreign country.
Sex outdoors, woods, beach, hot tub, pool, in the vacant lot behind a Denny's, car, and in the cab of a back-hoe.
East coast-West Coast-North-East-West-and South.
And eff you Costanza==I have, indeed, "successfully accomplished the Roommate Switch!"

Optimus Rhyme -- well, I've never pulled it off, but here's how it might be done:

Step One: Find roommates who each have low self-esteem, and who are in subconscious competition with each other.

Step Two: Get them drunk.

Posted by: sansho1 at July 9, 2009 1:03 AM

I've never been to Hawaii.

I've never seen Casablanca.

I've never done heroin, angel dust or crystal meth.

I've never had sex with anyone of another race or gender (making out is another story, however). The race thing -- not by design, just never happened. The gender thing... I guess I'm just not inclined in that direction, though I've definitely wished I were, on occasion.

I've never voted for a Republican.

I've never successfully moved a cat from one home to another without that cat either running away or being run over by a car in the new neighbourhood... and the record is safe as of today: my cat ran away last night from our new house.

I can't really say I've never watched The Wire, because I watched about the first ten minutes of the first episode, and promptly fell asleep.

Anyway, so...

I've never been outside these united states.

I've never had a threesome (outside of my mind. Hohoooh!).

I've never drank a Guinness.

gforcetwo is causing me to feel a little inadequate.

Never lost an Oscar voting pool (I think) in the few years I've been involved in them.

Never gotten in a car accident.

Never lived alone.

Never found a woman sexually alluring save for Penélope Cruz in Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Never full-on dived. I freak out being upside down in water.

Never been on a date.
Never smoked weed (cigaretts and cigars, oh god it was bad when the folks found out)
Never seen Arrested Development, and refuse to out of a matter of principle at this point.
Never been hunting, but I would like to this year.
Never paid for a comic book.
Never been to New York.
Never read a comment written by Che I didn't like.
Never had a diet soda in my life, haven't even had a regular soda since I gave it up for lent a few years ago.

Posted by: kelly at July 9, 2009 3:29 AM

I'm one of those people that believes in trying (almost) anything once but more often than not, I end up doing it just for the experience then never doing it again. Hence, some of my "i've only ever done it once..." stories are way more interesting. But that's for another time.

I have never asked anyone out on a date.
I have never been on a second date.
I have never had sex.
I have never pulled an all-nighter.
I have never tried mushrooms and refuse to do so, no matter how "awesome" my friends tell me it supposedly is.
I have never used a vibrator.
I have never starred in a movie.
I have never read Perez Hilton.
I have never lived in my own place (either at my mom's or rented a room.) and subsequently, have never lived in a room that was decorate exactly the way I wanted it.
I have never streaked.

This is why I hate playing "Never have I ever" at parties. All the questions end up being sex related and I'm the only one sitting there with a full cup and a clueless/bored look on my face.

Never posted before (actually I might've. Terrible memory).

Never been in a full on relationship or date. It's always been that "I think you like me and I think I like you so let's fuck" sort of thing. Aaaand...

Never had a "relationship" last more than a month.

Never had a falafel and I feel very deprived only because "falafel" just sounds so funny.

Posted by: Tarn at July 9, 2009 7:32 AM

I have never figured out how to whistle. I think my pucker's broke.

I have never killed a mammal or a bird on purpose. I have hit two birds with my car, one of which had to be euthanized. And by euthanized I mean I made my friend step on its head to finish it off because it was losing its internal organs. However, I have saved three other birds as motherless babies so karmically I consider myself okay. On the other hand, I have been responsible for numerous rodent murders by dog- and cat-proxy. And I once chased a mouse around my bathroom with a plunger for almost an hour. But was not successful!

I've never owned my own house.

I've never eaten Tuna Helper. Ick.

Although I've been in Atlanta for almost 8 years, I have never been to Coke World or the High Museum (and suddenly I think there might be some kind of weird subtext to this city's "sights"....)

*broken a bone/had a serious injury/needed surgery (although that one changes soon as I need my wisdom teeth out. le sigh...)

I have never broken a bone but I did give myself two concussions diving.

I am one of the remaining women in America who has not subjected herself to Sex and the City. I have, unfortunately, had friends who tried to decide "which one" each of us is.

I have never had a one night stand. They always call the next day.

I have never enjoyed scotch but I have been drunk enough to get it down.

I have never been in a hospital except for that part where I got born. At least, my parents say I was born in a hospital. Don't really remember back that far. I certainly hope I was born in a hospital and not at home. I remember living in that home and that would be really super weird to live in the place where you were born. I mean, to walking through the living room and be like, oh, hey, me and placenta came gushing out on that sofa and now my grandparents are sitting there. Ew.

I have never eaten a tangerine.

-I have never read a Harry Potter book or seen a Harry Potter movie. (Not because I'm against them or anything, I just never got around to it and now I feel like the ship has kind of sailed. And when I say this, inevitably all the evangelical Potterheads within a 2-mile radius go 'Noooo, but you can read one a daayy!! Here, I'll lend you the first one right now!)

-I have never seen any of the American Pie movies.

-I have never watched The Hills or Gossip Girl.

-I have never had a cavity. (I'm 26 and really hope this streak continues for a while.)

-I have never taken any drug other than pot.

-I have never been snow skiing.

-I live in Spain but I've never gone to the running of the bulls in Pamplona. Nor do I have any desire to.

Otherwise, reading this list makes me feel like kind of a deviant too.
