THE LIST

I turn 29 in February, so I have some time before my list needs to be completely finalized. I need some help from you, my readers, or reader, to finish it. I am open to adding and subtracting items, there just need to be 30. That's what makes a 30x30.

Items on the list don't have to be over the top. I have done a lot of things in my life, so there are a few go-to items that are automatically excluded. Also I don't have a ton of money, so lets keep this reasonable kids. I mostly want long term things that will take time to complete and that I can keep doing. Or things that I dread. I want to do so much. While in a store looking at notebooks I found one that said "Go Everywhere. Live Everything." That is what I want to do, not just with this list but throughout my whole life. Also my theme song for this experiment is "Shake it Out" by Florence and the Machine, in fact I just shook it out in my shower, and kudos for me on showering on my day off!

Here are somethings that are automatically off the list: tattoos (I have 4 and counting), go to Europe or Vegas (been), run a marathon, perform on stage, get drunk and make a fool of myself (Done. Several times over), have a one night stand (Done. Several times over).

Also this list is in no particular order. When I begin an item on the list I will blog about why I am doing it, and after I am done or while I am doing it. So here it is, The List Version 1.

1. Perform stand-up. (I do improv and sketch comedy this is a completely different beast, one I'm terrified of)

2. Go vegetarian for a week.

3. Go blonde

4. Take an art class

5. Learn guitar

6. No FB/Twitter/texting for a week

7. Visit my grandparents graves

8. Learn to crochet

9. Get up early and run for a week

10. Learn how to make old school cocktails

11. Read The Catcher in the Rye

12. Get a bikini wax (This doesn't mean that things aren't under control down there, I've just never waxed the thing. Okay?!?)

13. Drink a Scotch from 1983

14. Go on a blind date (Much, much help is needed for this one)

15. Host a formal dinner party

16. Write a letter to Tina Fey (This one is pretty weird huh?)

17. Smoke a cigar.

Help please.

I had "Make amends with Dick" on the list. Someone convinced me that wouldn't really help. Plus as much as I would like to, I think it's best that Dick and I aren't in each others lives right now.

Today is December 7th, I have 2 months and 11 days to finalize this list. Lets get creative friends.

Forever Yours,

Squeaky Clean B.
