Kayaking

I love kayaking, and would love to get to do it more often. Here are some amazing spots I hope to get to go someday:

25 by 25

Oh man, I can't believe I'm going to be 25 next year. Ok, that's giving me a little bit of a headache, so let's just move on to the list, shall we? 

First, I put anything I didn't do on my 24x24 list on this list. 

1. Move out. 

2. Hike Half Dome.
3. Go kayaking
4. See a movie at our local theater that serves dinner and drinks.
5. Go on a fabulous vacation. (I have decided this should be on my list every year!)
6. Add more color to my wardrobe. I own a lot of gray - it's time to spice things up.
7. Go on the Santa Monica Ferris Wheel.
8. Make a scrapbook of my college years.
9. Go to Diddy Riese.
10. Try paddle boarding.
11. Stretch and improve my posture.
12. Wear bright lipstick with confidence.
13. Expand my musical horizons. (I'm a little embarrassed to tell you how much music on my ipod is from my high school years.)
14. Go beer and/or whiskey tasting.
15. Go to Chocolatine.
16. Go to the Natural History Museum and see their new dinosaur exhibit.
17. Revisit some of the classics I read in high school.
18. Read Johnathan Strange and Paris: A Secret History. These have both been on my bookshelf for a while, but their length has stopped me from picking them up, so I'd like to finally read them.
19. Watch the first seasons of 30 Rock, Community and Friday Night Lights.
20. Participate in Operation Beautiful.
21. Make this hot chocolate.
22. Start writing again. I was really into writing poetry in high school, but haven't written anything for the past few years.
23. Get crafty. Maybe try my hand at painting.
24. Visit San Francisco - one of my absolute favorite cities.
25. Have an amazing 25th birthday party. Since my birthday always falls so close to Thanksgiving, it's hard to party it up, but I'm determined to make my 25th a big celebration.

WHOA.

Alright, hold the phone. I just read that a hotel is going to open up on the ground of Versailles. Versailles, people! How amazing would that be?? Yep, that's officially added to my life list. 

Life List: 5

In honor of tonight's game, I thought I'd add "attend the UCLA vs USC football game" to my life list. If you know me, you know who I'd be cheering for. (Hint: It starts with a U and ends with an A)

Life List: 4

The first (and only) time I've been to a drive-in I was about 6. I spent the previews climbing around the bed of my dad's truck, and as soon as the movie started, I promptly fell asleep. Not much of an adventure. I'd love to try again! (and stay awake this time)

Life List: 3

Snorkel in the Barrier Reef before it's gone.

There's something thrilling about sharing your deepest secrets with complete strangers. I especially love the positive ones, like this one above.

Zip lining in Costa Rica. Um, how amazing would that be? I think it would make you feel so alive.

Life List

I think having a life list is a wonderful idea. mylifelist.org lets you post and share (or not share) your life list, and check it off when you're done. You can even browse other people's lists for ideas. Who knows, maybe something you never knew existed will jump to the top of your list. I'll post selected items from my list on here from time to time.
