I Went on a Bucket List Shopping Spree

Greetings to whomever is pondering the internet instead of sleeping like a proper human being should. So I know I haven't posted in a while buuuuuuut, I have finally accomplished some bucket list things! I have to say I am pretty impressed with myself and the recent events, but at the same time, I have decided to chicken out and do the easy things before I get down into the nitty gritty of hand holding and egg throwing. Also noted, it really bothers me how I cannot indent these paragraphs, this is very grammatically wrong and I want to punt my computer a little bit. Just thought I would throw that in there. Okay so here are the things I've accomplished in the past 72 hours-ish.

-Sitting on a dock watching the sunset. This was probably one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen, well besides Prince Harry's face of course. This picture required a lot of perfect timing, and beer, and ice cream, and the sweeping of duck shit..but it was accomplished none the less. Duly noted, we also have badass bottoms on.





Have a Picnic- This girl is more on the ball with my bucket list than I am. Also I'm incredibly awkward when it comes to taking pictures. Also, I do own more bottoms than this bright green thing you people keep seeing. Also, that sandwich was friggen delicious. Oh yeah, this is probably one of the nicest things someone has done for me....oh and I had a lot of grass stuck to my ass after this picture was taken.

Jump into water without plugging my nose- I am going to be straight up completely honest, this was more terrifying than riding on the back of a motorcycle...I'm not kidding. The fear of water burning every orifice inside your nostril is probably the worst feeling in the world, well besides being kicked in the testicles but I don't have those so this is just an assumption. But I did it; water was snorted and for some reason it made my eye burn, but at least I've accomplished what most people do... at the age of 5. AND I AM NEVER DOING IT AGAIN.

Smoke weed in a public place- I have to say I feel like a bit of a badass for posting this picture...as well as a tad petrified that at any minute mounties are going to show up at my door step and find some sort of way to inflict the death penalty upon me.

Ride on the back of a motorcycle- Okay so, technically this is the second time I have been on this young fellow's motorcycle buuut being as scatter brained as I am, I forgot to document, and well it's kinda the most fun thing ever so I didn't mind. Any-who, we went on a highway; I thought I was going to die. It was a very lovely near death experience, and all I kept thinking was "I hope my shoes will still be in tact when they scrape me off the highway."




Well there you go people-who-have-nothing-better-to-do-than-read-about-my-trivial-life. I am aware that most of these things are done by the average person, but based on my bucket list an assumption can be made that I'm not "technically" average; I'm more of a 6 year old trapped in a 20 year olds body, with the attention span of a squirrel on crack. I will continue my adventure for all of you lovely people who are taking the time to read this blog, and I hope you receive a miniscule piece of the enjoyment of my epic piece of enjoyment. I guess, the crumb to my chocolate cake...wait bad analogy...I hate cake. Crap.

The beginning. The challenge.

Well this is quite a process in itself. I've never been one to deem myself as interesting enough to engage in the blogging experience, but I felt that the "conquest of summer 2012," needed to be documented. This summer is my last summer in Canada, not only as a teenager but before I  move to the UK for an entire year...and who knows maybe forever. Thus, my soul and brain commanded me to create a bucket list that needed to be accomplished. So fellow readers here is the list that I need to complete before I hop on that plane. I will update this blog every time one of these tasks has been completed, along with photo documentation as confirmation. Personal record and all that jazz.

The Bucket List

• Ride on the back of a motorcycle
• Learn to play one song on the ukulele 
• Skip double dutch (I did this when I was like 8, but I feel as a soon to be 20 year old it has to happen in my homeland again)
• Smoke weed in a public place
• Throw an egg at someone (I know this is mean, but come on half of you fuckers have either had an egg thrown at you or have done it. I've experienced it and it makes for a funny story)
• See as many bands as I can afford
• Jump off a bridge into water
• Graffiti something (it will be something inspirational I swear)
• Fill up as many marble slab cards as possible (at the rate I'm going I'll probably be the size of an elephant plus have a million cards at the end of the summer)
• Get someone (a male) to grow a mustache for me
• Drive a boat
• Get my license (Yes, it's pathetic...I'm almost 20)
• Drive fast on a road (this means going beyond 60km)
• Hold someone's hand (yes I've done it before but this is more of a "Oooh I like you and I'm going to awkwardly hold your hand" event)
• Stretch my ears
• Get another tattoo
• Sleep under the stars without a tent
• Jump in the water without plugging my nose (again pathetic I'm aware, but don't worry I can swim!)
• Set off a firework
• Swim under the moon
• Find a secret hiding spot
• Pet a duck 
• Play an entire guitar song in front of someone (I'm deathly shy when it comes to this business)
• Have a real picnic
• Try every flavour of dunkaroos (don't worry, I question my childhood sometimes too)
• Sit on a dock and watch the sun set
• Meet someone who believes in pinky swears like I do
• Make a postsecret and put it in Kingston (I am a loyal follower of the postsecret blog, check it out!)
• Go a week without eating ketchup (I'm addicted...I'm not kidding)
• Sit on a roof
• Hop on a random bus on a random day
• Make 100 friendship bracelet

Well, there you have it folks...The conquest of my summer. The majority of these things are miniscule and non-life changing, but I feel the need to accomplish them. Stay tuned and pray I don't get in too much trouble!
