30 Before 30 Update

I haven’t updated in a few months, so look at this! Only two things left to do before my birthday in two months!

    Before I’m 28, I will:

  • watch “Citizen Kane”.
  • read at least five books on my books to read list. (Screw it. The list isn’t happening. I HAVE read four books so far this year [um, only one was on the list] so I may be actually able to make it five before my birthday.)
  • get a passport.
  • see a live musical. (Yay for “Wicked”!)
  • make a new friend. (I’ve made several!)
  • buy (or acquire) a dSLR camera and learn how to use it.
  • volunteer for something.
  • watch a sunrise.
  • take a class of some sort.
  • travel to Europe.
    Before I’m 29, I will:

  • kiss under a waterfall.
  • read at least ten books on my books to read list.
  • hold a formal 4-course dinner party.
  • do landscaping on the yard.
  • hire a maid.
  • go skydiving.
  • learn to knit.
  • go to Vegas.
  • write to a congressperson about something that’s really important to me.
  • travel to a beach I’ve never been to. (Went to Destin!)
    Before I’m 30, I will:

  • get a promotion.
  • read at least fifteen books on my books to read list.
  • write a novel.
  • pay my parents back.
  • pay off all student loans and credit cards.
  • put 10% of my paycheck into my 401k.
  • build a snowman.
  • stop thinking of 30 as old.
  • see at least one of the following bands/artists in concert: Tool, Coldplay, Nine Inch Nails, Jack Johnson, or Daft Punk. (I still want to see the others, of course, but NIN was awesome.)
  • travel to California.

    http://www.hon.org/AboutUs/index.php/hon_day_09/honday2009.html was the first thing to pop up when I searched for nashville volunteer work. *shrugs* Seems like fun :)

    Didn’t you have a further broken down to do list of your novel-writing? How far are you on that? You know, picking subject, point of view, setting, etc.

    Yeah I actually have two volunteer applications filled out and ready to mail. I’m just lazy about buying stamps.

    I have a vague synopsis for my novel. I need to flesh it out some more.

    Hooray for you!!!! (And happy birthday, a bit early.) I was just revisiting my own list this week, and it looks like SEVERAL items just plain won’t get done. So your percentage is no small feat!
