Rules: Bold the items you’ve done. Don’t bold items you haven’t done. I’ll add: Strike out the items you don’t want to do. Like the other one I did, but with partly different things.

1. Started your own blog [Three times :)]
2. Slept under the stars

4. Visited Hawaii
5. Watched a meteor shower
6. Given more than you can afford to charity
7. Been to Disneyland/world
8. Climbed a mountain
9. Held a praying mantis [Are there any praying mantises (mantes? mantisi?] in Austria? I don’t think so. Don’t know. I held grass hoppers, though!]

12. Visited Paris
13. Watched a lightning storm at sea

17. Walked to the top of the Statue of Liberty [Do I really have to walk?]
18. Grown your own vegetables
19. Seen the Mona Lisa in France [I don’t know what it is about that painting that fascinates people so much. (Don’t say: Her smile.) But if I get the chance, I will have a look.]
20. Slept on an overnight train [I actually like it.]
21. Had a pillow fight [But not of the fluffy cliché “girls just wanna bounce around in their underwear” variety – they were real fights. With hard pillows. Made from tears.]
22. Hitch hiked
23. Taken a sick day when you’re not ill
24. Built a snow fort
25. Held a lamb
26. Gone skinny dipping
27. Run a Marathon [Really. If you ever see me running it’s because somebody’s running after me with a fucking sword in his hands.]
28. Ridden in a gondola in Venice
29. Seen a total eclipse [and I haven’t gone blind! ;)]

33. Seen Niagara Falls in person
34. Visited the birthplace of your ancestors
35. Seen an Amish community
36. Taught yourself a new language

46. Been transported in an ambulance [Nothing serious: I had problems with my knee after a pretty bad fall while snowboarding. I walked around with it for a week and then decided to go to the doctor. She looked at it and called the ambulance immediately, saying that maybe I had torn my tendon. They picked me up, drove me to the hospital, where they had another look at the knee and told me it was just pulled and overstretched. I had to walk home. (deadra too, who was with me.)]

61. Sold Girl Scout Cookies [I don’t think they do that here in Austria. Anyway, never part of these catholic boot camps and proud of it.]

63. Gotten flowers for no reason
64. Donated blood, platelets or plasma [I am not allowed. Having travelled to a malaria region, my blood might be contaminated (even without me ever being sick) and Austrian law says I can’t donate. But I was already there and ready to do it.]
65. Gone sky diving
66. Visited a Nazi Concentration Camp [Kind of compulsory in Austria.]
67. Bounced a check [They’re not really used in Austria.]
68. Flown in a helicopter

70. Visited the Lincoln Memorial
71. Eaten Caviar
72. Pieced a quilt
73. Stood in Times Square

76. Seen the Changing of the Guard in London
77. Broken a bone
78. Been on a speeding motorcycle [I’ve been on a motorbike before, but not a speeding one. Anyway, speeding in general is reckless, unnecessary and irresponsible. That’s why I always shout at myself when I do it. Speeding on a motorcycle is suicide, imo.]

93. Lost a loved one [I lost my great aunt who I liked a lot, but apart from that, I was very, very lucky.]
94. Had a baby [Not yet (you hear, uterus? Yet. So give me another few years, alright, before you turn me completely insane with going aaaaahhh over every baby!)]
