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!
