A good way to introduce myself to you all is to go through the things I haven’t done. I’ve actually already done this here;
10 Things That I Haven’t Done That Most People Have
That post is from years ago. Instead of updating it, I thought it would be interesting to do the same thing but bring it to the 2020’s. This is that article! Another angle to get to know me is the see what I am currently doing.
Let us have a little look at things I haven’t done still today. Accompanied by photos of beautiful Spring blossoming in Tallinn:
1. Been on a date with an Estonian man
January 2026 marked (on paper) 10 years since I moved to Estonia. Most of those 10 years I have been single but almost half of it I haven’t dated at all. But while I did date, the local men never made it. Even on dating apps I can only count 3 or 4 matches with an Estonian. I guess it’s safe to say they’re not my type even if I don’t have a specific type (my friends can confirm this!)
2. Watched Game of Thrones
Nope, this hasn’t changed. Nonetheless, I know exactly what went on in it, because you can’t avoid all the clips popping up on social media. And I have seen an episode here and another one there, so I’m on the map.
3. Driven a scooter or a motor cycle
This hasn’t changed. One of my colleagues does have a motorcycle, though, but I’m sure she knows better than to let me try it out.
4. Done drugs
Ever. Still. And very proud of this, in fact, even though I’m not here to judge anyone who does do drugs. It’s everyone’s own decision, just like my decision is to poison myself with alcohol instead.
5. Eaten oysters
Nope. I did have the perfect opportunity to do this in Hawaii at New Year, but I opted out of this possibility when the tray was circling our table.
6. Traveled to Asia
Mainly because traveling in Europe is so bloody simple; no Visas or border controls or any sorts of hindering measures or paperwork. Since visiting New York I have a whole new appreciation for the EU systems and avoid inconvenient travel.
7. Not tripped in high heels
Well, this is irreversible like the damages on my knees, clearly visible on the photos for y’all to see where my knees aren’t covered. But hey, scars tell of life that has been lived! And most of those scars came to be on the way to or from a party, so very happy times indeed.
8. Gotten a piercing
Nah, still just have my ears pierced. But I don’t really have any urge to get piercings any more. I’m happy with the holes I have already (ehe ehe).
9. Had a surgery
Unless we count the wisdom teeth removal operation… It didn’t include a knife, but instead included a drill, an axe and a shovel. Does that count as a surgery?
10. Liked horror movies
Yeah, still don’t. The older I get the less tolerance I have for gory “entertainment” because it doesn’t entertain me one bit. Instead it brings me nightmares and makes washing my hair a nightmare, because I can’t close my eyes for the fear of someone standing there when I open them. Also, I can’t help thinking that people who actually enjoy watching them have something seriously wrong with them…
And now I will challenge you to make a list of things you haven’t done that most people have! I love reading lists like this, there are always some surprises that bring us a little bit closer to the reader, don’t you think?
