Hello from the computer lab in Cherry Hall. I just finished redoing (to some degree) my literature review for English 300 and thought I’d try to blog before I have to run to class.
So…tomorrow’s a pretty cool day :)
And tonight should be pretty fun as well. Woot camping! andpossiblyfreezingtodeathbuthopefullyntobecausewellhaveafireandaheaterandapileofhumantosnugglein!
And in honor of my 21st birthday on Saturday and because I couldn’t think of anything better to do, I decided to morph Anna Beth’s challenge from a while ago into a slightly different thing (maybe this means I’m actually one step closer to making a '50 things' video…or not :P)
21 things I’ve done in my 21 years of life
1) spent an hour having an intense argument about Shakespearean works for fun
2) had a conversation with a complete stranger about superpowers
3) had a poem published
4) written a 10 page zoology research paper in one night
5) been burned by acid (well, it was diluted acid, so it only tingled a little until I was able to wash it off, but still)
6) been thrown from a horse
7) shot a flaming arrow
8) Laid down in the springy grass on the top of a mountain I had climbed
9) found multiple rainbows under a waterfall
10) gone phatdippin'
11) used deflated inflatables as slip-n-slides in the rain
12) played cookie roulette and ended up eating onion and chili pepper chocolate chip cookies
13) learned how to swear in Latin
14) drove out into the wilderness at dawn and listened to the beautiful cacophony of bird calls
15) held a teddy bear for ransom
16) held a lion cub
17) fed a giraffe behind the scenes at the zoo
18) slept in a booth at Pizza Hut
19) completely shattered a pot and glued it back together piece by piece
20) ran and dived head first in a pile of mud
21) spent the last 2 ½ years living with the best friends a girl can have
21 things I want to do in the next 21 years
1) not die of frostbite this weekend
2) have a picnic in the London Eye
3) travel the world with friends
4) write a novel whether or not it gets published
5) become proficient at parkour
6) fall in love
7) bungee jump at Nevis in New Zealand
8) have a conversation with someone in a different language
9) be able to identify at least 10 constellations by sight
10) I want to spend a day among strangers and feel comfortable and confident
11) still be able to act like a kid at age 40
12) meet my favorite YouTubers next summer
13) Ace my chemistry test next week
14) prepare an entire meal from scratch
15) see the northern lights
16) drive a dogsled team
17) learn to play piano....or guitar....or violin
18) Go from house to house in the fall asking if they would like their yard raked, accumulate as many bags of leaves as possible, and make the biggest pile of leaves as possible to play in
19) Build an igloo
20) go zorbing
21) stay close friends with you other adventurers for the rest of my life

Sigh, 21 is too small a number for this kind of list. I had to cut out too much. I guess that's a good problem to have.
In other news, I've been working on a story for Nanowrimo/Noshanowrimo. Though I haven't actually written any part of the actual story yet. I've just been thinking through the characters and the plot. I hope it turns out well.
I know Halloween’s over, but I felt like sharing this anyway:
