This is someone elses's list, but I'll play along

100 things to do before I die (like I said, someone else's list, but I'm playing along) Things I've already done in blue. Snurched from DJ


1. Started your own blog (Yes, obviously, otherwise I'd never do any of these little things)
2. Slept under the stars (Been all together too long since I have, camping stuff in the basement I just need to get a weekend of

3. Played in a band (We talked about it a bunch at speed school, I would have been the basist default because I'm the lagest of an otherwise scrawny group)

4. Visited Hawaii (Never been a beach person, but after seeing Forgetting Sarah Marshal I'm rethinking it)

5. Watched a meteor shower (one of those nights I slept under the stars.  New moon that night too so everything was so clear it was sweet.  I was 17 we were in West Virginia)

6. Given more than you can afford to charity (yeah, yeah, lay on the guilt)

7. Been to Disneyland (twice in fact, only once that I actually remember in detail)

8. Climbed a mountain (you're joking right?  The three tallest peaks in Tennesse, tallest in Virginia and Maine, Baldy in New Mexico which was the first time I'd crossed the tree line, wishe there'd been snow on top)

9. Held a praying mantis (yes, and learned a praying mantis form as well)

10. Sang a solo (I enjoy singing but I've never been in a choir or other singing group)

11. Bungee jumped (I won't say never, like never ever because you can't ever really say never, but I've got a feeling that I"m more likely to join a circus than bungee jump)

12. Visited Paris (no specific interest actually, or at least I'm not going to feel like I missed out)

13. Watched a lightning storm (watched several really love electrical storms, seen snow with lightning too, very cool)

14. Taught yourself an art from scratch (I'm going to claim yes because I taught myself origami)

15. Adopted a child (may eventually, but not soon)

16. Had food poisoning (not yet, I'm sure it'll happen eventually)

17. Walked to the top of the Statue of Liberty (never even seen it)

18. Grown your own vegetables (tiny carrots, it was cute)

19. Seen the Mona Lisa in France (France really isn't on my to do list in any capacity)
