I was invited to Valve’s Game Developers Conference after party. I met Felicia Day and swing danced with her. She’s super fucking cool. During that same GDC, I started interviewing at Riot Games and ended up getting hired by them.
There’s other fun stuff I’ve proactively done, but I think that’s the big one that happened to me
I answered a ringing payphone in an otherwise empty train station. Life goal achieved!
I also spent a week surviving in the wilderness a couple times, slept out for multiple days in below-zero temperatures, built and slept in a snow-dome shelter, and so on, but that’s just life in the Scouts.
And I judged the world’s largest annual scavenger hunt for years.
Thank you! I was really tempted to try to put moves on her, but I was in a relationship at the time. When I got home and told the story, my girlfriend at the time said she totally would have given me a pass. I have regrets. Of course, I probably would have failed anyway, but it’s fun to think about.

Yo, that’s super cool. +1 on the who was on the phone?
A woman whose son was supposed to be there waiting for the train. She sounded really annoyed; obviously he wasn’t there.
Ahahaha that’s pretty good. Thanks for sharing. I hope they sorted things out
“Mr Anderson…”
Wait, what happened when you answered? Did it start the plot of payphone?
No, but that’s definitely what was on my mind.
That’s cool!

I always imagined her as a super cool person, thanks for confirming!
