Things I Want to Accomplish

Mighty Girl, a member of the blogosphere, suggested that everyone must have "A List" - a series of events and experiences that one wishes to accomplish before one dies. As I've experienced quite a bit in my quarter life, I thought to both include what is currently on my list as well as things I've done that were on my Mighty Life List from as early as High School.

It seems I have a trend of remembering what was on my list and has now been accomplished, but I have a hard time adding things to the list. Generally, if I want to do something I will do it. That's one reason I have quite a few of these items crossed off my list. Another reason is that once I get going listing stuff, it's hard to stop.

So here's the first 45. I'll keep thinking and adding as we go along.
