I dont know about this...

Stacy wanted me to do this and since she's 1/12 of the people who actually read this blog, I thought I'd do it.. PLUS I really need to be doing work and I dont feel like, so this and American Idol are my distraction. Deal with it.

I love how people always preface these things with something about how "I never do these things but whatever!" We never do them because we don't want to seem like we want tons of attention, but dude I started a blog, because obviously I wanted a place to share my thoughts and who I am... soooo be excited about a random question thingy that helps in my blog's mission.

Some Things I’ve Done & Not Done in My Life

• Started your own blog - duh. Started this one about a year ago but posted random stuff on my myspace before that.
  
• Slept under the stars - Maybe? I've slept in a tent... but I honestly don't know if I've ever actually slept outside under the stars.
  
• Played in a band - I sang with a band occasionally for about a year in college.

• Taught yourself an art from scratch - uh, I dont think so.
  
• Held a praying mantis - Negative. I dont do bug.

• Taking an overnight train - I don't think so.
  
• Taken a sick day when you’re not ill - Yes, especially in school.

• Gone scuba diving or snorkeling - I swam 12 years but there is no way in heck I'd ever go scuba diving. I went snorkeling when I went on a cruise and it scared me to death. I like the murky, muddy waters of the atlantic... I dont wanna see who I'm swimming with!
