I’ve noticed in my life that I am a lot better at getting things done if I make a list. I had plenty of time to spend thinking over the weekend, as I had a very upset stomach, and therefore took lots of naps in order to get better.  I decided during this time that it was about time that I make a list of things I need to accomplish before I die.

I know I’m kind of young to be thinking about death, but honestly people, you know me… and you know that some of the crap that’s going to end up on this list is going to be so crazy that it’s going to take me some time to get my act/money/friend base together enough to actually accomplish it.

So, without further ado, here is the list. (Please feel free to give suggestions of things I should add to the list, or ways to accomplish the things already on the list.  Much appreciated my lovely friends.

1. Go skydiving. (Cliche, I know, but I really do want to do it.)
2. Fall so madly in love with the girl of my dreams that it’s impossible for us to ever fall out again.
3. Perform with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir at least once.
