99 things

Don't worry, I'm not keeping this font, but with my usual one it was hard to tell if things were bolded.


Things you've already done: bold

Things you want to do: italicize

Things you haven't done and don't want to - leave in plain font


1. started your own blog (um, doh)

2. slept under the stars (doesn't have to be the whole night, right?)

3. played in a band

4. visited hawaii (if I had the money to visit Hawaii I'd visit Tahiti first)

5. watched a meteor shower

6. given more than you can afford to charity (not likely to happen)

7. been to disneyland/world (I always wanted to go as a child. Now I'd only go if someone paid me)

18. grown your own vegetables

19. seen the mona lisa in france (almost... my friends and me decided to check out a small fair of sorts near the Louvre, the rest of the class went to look at the Mona Lisa. Can you tell we weren't A students?)

22. hitch hiked

23. taken a sick day when you’re not ill (I thought everyone did that)

27. run a marathon

28. ridden a gondola in venice

29. seen a total eclipse (two I think, or is it just my imagination?)

52. kissed in the rain

80. published a book

81. visited the vatican (honestly, Italy isn't that great...)

You're the only other person I know who does! I've got plenty more. :D

I'd come with you to the drive-in, but I think it would be a bit too far for me. And technically, the Vatican isn't really Italy. :P

The Seeker said...

Post them! :D

Yeah yeah, the Vatican is a country of its own, I know, but I dare you to visit the Vatican without visiting Italy.

Ha.

a traveller said...

I am aware of that, which is why I said technically. So there.

And I will; gimme some time!

The Seeker said...

I still couldn't resist.
