Fifty Things
So, I don't know if any of you people watch youtube. But, a while ago the latest trend was to make a video marking 50 noteworthy things you have done in your life. When that happened I made a list of my fifty things. For some reason I feel like sharing it today.
1. I have graduated high school
2. I have broken my foot during a production of Guys and Dolls and kept a smile on my face as everyone told me "We didn't REALLY mean break a leg"
3. I have gone to a foreign country sort of knowing the language (but not really) and then was able to talk for hours with someone in that language by the end of my stay.
4. I have fallen both up and down the stairs. frequently.
5. I have double dueced an authority figure......when they weren't looking.
6. I have walked for an entire day on a broken ankle without knowing it.
7. I got into a shouting match with my eight grade teacher for tricking us on an exam...and don't regret it.
8. I have fallen off a horse.
9. I have done something even though I was terrified.
10. I have gotten up the courage to go on a zip line only to accidently let go the second my feet left the platform and do a belly flop into very shallow water (and you people wonder why I'm afraid of heights)
11. I have flown by myself both cross-country and overseas.
12. I have been in a physical fight with someone during school...and won.
13. I have been that person who when you enter a room everyone shuts up like they were just saying something bad about you.
14. I have gotten an A on a research paper I wrote in the four hours before it was due.
15. I have cried at something really stupid in front of a LOT of people.
16. I have accidentally run over a bunny rabbit in the middle of the road. and cried.
17. I have sung at Carnegie Hall with my high school choir.
18. I have swam in the ocean only to see a shark not very far away from me. and somehow got back to shore without having a heart attack.
19. I have climbed through lava fields on the big island in Hawaii.
20. I have gone punting on the river Cam.
21. I have lost someone very close to me.
22. I have been in a flood (and I'm not talking those things I used to get out of school for, I'm talking chair floating in the middle of a road flood)
23. Although I have not been in a physical tornado, I have seen extremely tornadic weather.
24. I have slept through an earthquake.
25. I have been woken up by our old dryer shaking my entire room and thought there was an earthquake.
26. For the sake of an experiment, I have stayed up for 48 hours straight and then taken a field sobriety test....and failed.
27. I have ran into an empty walmart that lost electricity to take cover from a violent storm only to find out when I came out that I locked my keys in my car while the car was still running.
28. I have gotten stuck in the mud in a very bright car next to my barn at school and somehow managed to not get found out by a. earlham security or b. the girls at the barn
29. I have gone skinny dipping...frequently.
30. I have been so drunk I can't remember what I did the night before and have a boy I didn't know be extremely friendly towards me and know weird stuff about me.
