The ME List

I'm a list maker, I've embraced this about myself. I like the organization implied by the making of a list despite the fact that I'm really not that organized at all. I like the vision required to make a list. Except my vision isn't really that far reaching, not only do I not know where I'm going I don't know where I want to go.

On my birthday I made a list of things I wanted to do before I turned thirty and to date I've done exactly none of them. Or if I have it wasn't because of the list and frankly dyeing my brown hair a slightly different shade of brown isn't what I had in mind when I stuck it on the list. And 65 pounds is great but not quite a hundred.

So I thought okay maybe I need encouragement, I need people asking: 'Hey have you taken that art class yet?' Or telling me they know a guy with a zamboni or a tattoo artist with a slow hand (which is only funny if you know that the guy who gave me my first tattoo was named 'Slowhand'). I need to decided to date again, and find someone worth kissing in the rain. And then I need it to actually rain.

So here is my list. It's frivolous (mostly) and things I've always wanted to do, or thought I should do. It probably says something about Me, Myself and I but I'm not feeling reflective. I'm starting with pi, what do you think is 3.141592654 impressive enough? Cause to date that's all the digits of pi my calculator spits out and thus all I know...
