(no subject)
my mind is overflowing with lots of thoughts, so i'll write for a bit. first, my roommate is engaged! i think this is the feeling every girl gets when she finds out a friend is engaged. it's that so happy for them attitude with a twinge of jealousy. basically thinking "aww, how sweet! i want to be engaged!"
anyway, earlier i was thinking about my old list of things i want to do before i die and wondering if i'm making any progress. so here's the original list:
~donate blood....YEP, at least 4 times now!!
~learn to crochet...Yea, Kim and my mom taught me although I'm not very good
~get a tattoo...Not yet
~learn to eat with chopsticks...Well, Jason tried to teach me, but I also suck at that
~stand on the roof of a really tall building at night overlooking a city and scream at the top of my lungs...Still waiting
~make a huge meal for lots of people..Not quite although I did get to make a lot of food for Emily's graduation party, but that doesn't quite count cuz a lot of the food was cold and didn't require much cooking
~kiss a guy in the pouring rain....Yep, and it was better than i ever could've dreamed
~visit a foreign country....No, maybe after I'm out of school
~spend Christmas or Thanksgiving at a soup kitchen/homeless shelter...No, I always seem to work on holidays
~run 3 miles in 20 minutes...hmmm, i can't remember. apparently if i did it wasn't memorable.
so far i'm doing ok. a few more to go, plus my newer list. not that it really matters all that much since none of the things are really that exciting. but i just like the idea of having a list and being able to check things off and prove that i've done something with me life.
but i guess in the end it's like the quote by George Sand: "There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved." So maybe all my little goals aren't going to make life worth living, but they can't hurt either.
