Never Have I Ever is a game played with friends where one person says a thing they've never done, and then if someone else has, they get a point. Or take a drink. Never have I ever played the game, so I'm not sure. But now I'm going to play with a set of questions I cut and pasted from the internet. I wonder how I'll do since I'm playing against myself? :)
1. Never have I ever learned a foreign language. I have studied several foreign languages, but I would say I never learned any of them. In high school, I had a year of French taught by one of the coaches. I still remember a few sentences, but that's about it. In college, I studied Russian for three years. Even though I got good grades and was in the Russian National Honor Society, I didn't learn it very well. I can't remember much Russian at this point. I also studied a year of Japanese, and I probably learned more in that year than I learned in any of the other languages I studied because of an excellent teacher.
3. Never have I ever had a one-night stand. Nope.
4. Never have I ever read a partner's text messages. I do read Ward's text messages from time to time, especially if he's driving. However, I try to be respectful of his phone and don't regularly look at it.
5. Never have I ever read a partner's emails. Ward and I read each other's emails freely. Occasionally, we will tell the other to not look at them when there's communication about a gift. Ward doesn't check his email frequently, so because I check it, I can give him a heads up if there is something he needs to pay attention to.
6. Never have I ever been hospitalized for something other than giving birth or being born. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks when I was a baby for pneumonia, but nothing else since then except to have kids. I was in the emergency room once for amnesia but was not admitted.
7. Never have I ever sang in public. I have sung in school and community plays, church, and at work. I like to sing, but have no training, meaning sometimes I'm sound pretty good and other times I'm a little pitchy.
8. Never have I ever played a musical instrument. When I was in school, I played the clarinet and saxophone in various groups. I played my sister's flute at home. I tried to teach myself to play guitar but never got past my fingers hurting on the strings.

9. Never have I ever gone snowboarding. Nope
10. Never have I ever gone skiing. Nope. The most I've done in snow is sledding.
11. Never have I ever traveled to a foreign country. I have not traveled extensively, but I've made it to a few countries, including Canada, the Netherlands, Belgium, Japan, and Guatemala.
Until next time...
I've also never done any of these things
ReplyDeleteI think you'd win!
DeleteThat's a fun post! I've not played that game, but, I've done some of the things you've listed (learned a foreign language, traveled to a foreign country, sung in public, played a musical instrument) and not done some of the others (gone snowboarding, skiing, read a partner's texts or emails, etc.)
ReplyDeleteThe game is an interesting way to find out more about someone. However, I have heard it mostly as a drinking game. So then, the goal may be to get drunk instead of learning about someone. I guess it can be used in all sorts of ways.
DeleteLanguages are hard to learn. It's a shame we forget what we learned or else I would be fluent in a lot of languages.
ReplyDeleteI have never played 'never Have I Ever' either. It just seems pointless to say what you haven't done.
Have a lovely day.
Languages are something that have to used to be learned and remembered. I haven't used these languages in decades.
DeleteI've played this before, but not as a drinking game. I guess I run around in pretty tame circles. The things on the list that I have done include singing in public, playing an instrument, skiing (I went cross country skiing once, many many years ago), and I have gone to a foreign country. I took 2 years of German in high school, but I haven't retained much.
ReplyDeleteWe should have a contest to see whose circles are the tamest. 🙂
DeleteI have never dropped acid, had a one night stand, or snowboarded. I am unsure about learning another language. I took 4 years of Latin, but since it is not really spoken who knows. I can still read it badly, but can usually read enough to have the gist of it.
ReplyDeleteI've heard that if you know Latin, you can decipher several other languages. At the very least, knowing some Latin is a great help when working crossword puzzles.
