I like the way my stories grow in people's imaginations. I once went collecting for sea urchins around bodega bay. In [livejournal.com profile] four's retelling, I was farming them. Indeed, the retelling is a new story itself: "Tobin and I were snorkeling down in Mexico.. I saw these purple spiny things on the bottom, and Tobin said, hey I used to farm those!"

Another story was about how, on a visit to the mostly-Arab town of Ramla in Israel, we found our way to an underground reservoir which we were actually able to go down into and row boats around. In [livejournal.com profile] hypostatization's retelling, we had to bribe them to let us into the cisterns. I don't think we had to bribe anybody.. I mean, we did have to pay some kind of fee. I'm not even sure anymore myself, but I kind of like the new version.
