Dolphins

Dolphins! I touched thee! (To add to bucket list. This was in August of last year).

Chopped

I don't know why, but since the dawn of time, if a girl is feeling funky for any reason the solution is to do something insane with her hair. I did it. I chopped it all off. Oh how I hate it. I despise it. However, it was necessary. I had over used heat products (hair straightener) and pretty much fried it all, so now I'm starting fresh. Also, it's another one for the bucket list. *sigh*

Shoot a Gun!

This is, again, from a while ago. My friends and I all decided to go out to a shooting range in the area. Before this, I had never so much as held a gun. I LOVED IT! However, I am a horrible shot. It was still tons of fun though!

Country Flip!

Okay, so this is from a while back. My friends and I were getting ready to go out dancing, and we wanted to learn how to do some tricks. One of my friends (the one I'm with in the videos) has taken multiple dance classes and knows just about everything - seriously! So he demonstrated how to do some tricks, including the country flip! It was the best time!! I miss him dearly, as he is currently in Korea to teach underprivileged children English, and I can't wait for him to come back so we can have more nights like these!!

Dancing in the Rain

Last night there was a huge thunderstorm! Generally speaking, I am utterly terrified of thunder. So, I was reading TGH, huddled in the corner, when I decided that I could use the opportunity to cross something off the bucket list: Dancing in the Rain! Sorry, the video is a bit dark as it was something like 1am!

It was so fun! Also, so terrifying when the lightening struck!!  I don't think I'll ever do it again, but I'm glad to have done it once in my life =D

My Bucket List

So, someone has encouraged me to make a bucket list. I will be updating this as I cross things off. I'm using my old bucket list that I had on my computer, so some of the things are finished, and I will post/blog about them. The list will be numbered, but the numbers do not indicate a specific order/level of importance. I'll keep adding things to the list, so my progress may change! When I'm finished I will highlight the number, and link to the post talking about it. Here we go...
