~Story time! New Additions.~

Hola! Como esta? (Pleas do not actually answer...I probably won't know what you've said!) Haha. Now, continuing on! It has been some time since I have updated the bucket list part of The Bucket List. So, as promised (or at least hinted at) last time, I shall do that now! (Aren't you excited? I know I am!) However, this time I'm going to try something new! I know that a lot of the things on my bucket list may seem sort of random, but they aren't really, I assure you! The point being, everything on my list has a story behind it. Every entry has a special meaning, and an event that put it there. But then again, I believe that everything has a story behind it, and that life might be a lot more wonderful if we took the time to really search for that story... But alas! That may just be a blog for another day! Any-who, on to the list!

66. Learn to use medievel weaponry- This one is simple enough really. Over spring break (Such a long time ago! T-T) I was talking to a really close friend of mine, a friend who I have known since the third grade. And, as we hadn't really sat around and just talked in a long time...we sort of just started talking. About everything! One of those things ended up being her favorite teacher, who apparently has some degree/certificate that basically says that he is CERTIFIED to use medievel weaponry! Awesome right?!

67. Get my Doctorate Degree- This one is really a promise to myself (as some of the others on my list really are) than anything. I decided from the beginning that this list would be a culmination of things. 1. Super awesome things that you live a lifetime for. 2. Silly little things that I've always secretly wanted to do. 3. Promises to myself; things that I want for myself to accomplish. After breaking it down this way, that really began to put this whole project into perspective. So one day I started thinking about the 3rd category and suddenly realization hit me! And so, this one was added!

68. Ride in a Taxi- Have you ever read the play Pygmalion? Because I had to. And apparently taxis are a pretty big deal. After reading the fuss everyone in that play made over riding in a taxi (and going home to watch 'CashCab') I decided that I wanted to ride in one too! Think about it, and I guarantee that if you haven't ridden in one yet you will add it to your own bucket list! My theory: the 'want' to ride in a taxi must be contagious; just like laughter, and the swine flu!

69. Learn how to hot-wire a car- Now this one started as my friend and I strolled past one of the schools little golf-cart-things. We then got into this conversation about how we both wanted to take one for a joy ride! (Not that we ever would of course!) So we both casually glanced over an noted that they never leave the keys there. (huh...I wonder why?!) How could we (Though we really never would.) overcome this predicament? By knowing how to hot-wire a car! Which lead us to a conversation about that, and my next list item...

70. Learn how to pick a lock- Don't judge! Let's all be honest hear....who DOESN'T want to know how to pick a lock?! Now, again, I would never use this and #69 to do something illegal....I just want to know how! What's that you say? 'What's the point?' Well I will tell you! As we continued on in our conversation we realized something very important. That is this: THESE ARE INTEGRAL SKILLS FOR THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE! Laugh now, but when the earth is plagued by brain-eating-zombies and the only means of escape is a locked car with no keys....guess who makes it  out alive!

Well that about wraps it up! I would love to know what you thought of this! Do you like the stories? Or do you honestly not give a crap?

Remember I will re-post my entire bucket list once I have hit 101 items! Hopefully that doesn't take to long! But, for now, let me know if you were curious about how any of the other items made there way onto my list! If you ask I may just have to answer!

Au revoir!

  1. Oh my goodness. The second I read "Ride in a Taxi" I went, "Hey! That sounds like a lot of fun! I want to ride in a taxi!" Then I read the paragraph, I realized... you are psychic. Haha :)
