Things to do before I die...

A couple of weeks ago I was able to cross off an event from my "List of things to do before I die." If you look back a few blogs, you can read my story of being an extra in a movie. Everyone has a list, either mental or written, and most of them are very similar. Things such as write a book, travel to Spain, meet someone famous, etc. Well I guess my list is a little unique. Being an extra in a movie was something I never thought would happen. Last fall I was able to cross off "Pick up hitch-hikers" from my list. Now that may seem easy and harmless. But, being a young lady, it can be rather risky. So last fall when I took a vacation alone (also on the list), I picked up a couple of hikers who just so happened to be gynecologists from Ohio. Weird. We had some very colorful conversation. In the end I gave them a ride to their car and they gave me $50. I told them I didn't need the money, but the one guy said, "I'll make more money in 5 years than you will in a lifetime." So I took the money. Back to the list. So I have always had this mental list of things to do. Now, I'm going to write some things down just so I can read back at a later time and laugh at how stupid they are and to see if I've completed any. Without further delay, here is the list:

1. Be a stand in on a police line up
2. Change a strangers flat tire
3. Pay for the next cars order in a drive thru
4. Do something that makes someone say, "You know, I really admire what you did!"
5. Win an award
6. Pull on the "Pull in case of fire"; even though there is no fire
7. Glue coins to the floor and watch strangers try and pick them up
8. Go to a poor area in a city during the winter holiday season, without any shopping areas to draw the middle class. I will put on the worst clothing I own, take a strip of cardboard, and write "Homeless please help" on it. Then I will sit down next to the sign, shaking a change cup. Anyone who gives me change will get a $50 bill until I run out of money.
9. Drive cross country without a map
10. Walk into a crowded bar and yell out, "Next round is on me!"
11. Set a world record
12. Run up the down moving escalator as many times as possible
13. Improve my active listening skills
14. Be a camp ground host
15. Go to the Olympics
16. Return every phone call I receive within 48 hours
17. I'd like to go 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fumanchu
18. Wade or swim in a fountain
19. Learn to juggle
20. Go ghost hunting, with all the fancy equipment
21. Drive a zamboni
22. Ride an elephant
23. Learn to play the bagpipes
24. Spend a night in a haunted house
25. Yell, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore" in a crowded area
26. Start a fire without matches
27. Fly with one of the Blue Angels
28. Learn to ride a unicycle
29. Partake in St. Patty Day Events in Ireland
30. Get to know my neighbors

So that is a good start of a list. My creative juices are now draining, so I'll have to come up with more ideas some other time that I get super bored....
