Well, Tomorrow I start the challenge. I got a overwhelming amount of feedback from my family and friends on facebook. At first I was really excited as I started to write them all down on a piece of paper...until I saw that I had 66 suggestions and counting. It would be impossible for me to do them all! I am having to sort though them all and pick the ones that I should do. Which means forcing myself to pick hard ones, not just the smaller ones. But I also face the problem of thinking I am invincible and giving myself to much. I want this challenge to be something that I can finish but at the same time be something that I have to work at completing. I think I will have a hard time watching my regular tv shows this week :)

Amoung the ones that are already on my list.

Eat with a homeless person
Hike Multnomah Falls
Eat a huge dairy queens soft ice cream and pay for the person behind me
Pretend I know a random person
Write a anomymous appreciation note
Visit a retirement home and read to someone
Buy a hundred Starburst candies at target while wearing my star trek uniform
Make a a starburst chain with 100 wrappers
Sleep under the stars
Try on 11 prom dresses take pictures
Read and write about "Brave new world" by Aldous Huxley
Read a whole newspaper, write notes
Watch a old sci fi movie
Teach myself to change a tire
Learn my favorite song on guitar
Learn and video my attempts on Tuvan Throat singing
Boycott things made in China for the 20 days
Meet 20 people
write 20 reasons why i am glad I am a christian
Prepare a five course meal
paint a picture

There still might be more if people continue to post some good ones. But I think this is a great starter list. Some will be a lot harder for others, but I am hoping for the best and that It will be fun!

20 days til 20!

Hello Friends!

This may seem a bit corny to some of you but if you know me well enough you know that corny should be my middle name, and you are still friends with me on facebook so we are probably great pals and you don't mind :)

Some of you might have seen what I wrote on a current status, it says...

"I need 20 suggestions for things to do before I am 20. I am going to do a 20 day countdown It can be something Physical, Mental, completely random....whatever. Preferably no to low costs"

So thats pretty much it, I want to take up a 20 days till 20 challenge. and it could be anything. I do not want to make up any for myself, because it would be disastrous for whatever reason. So I need YOU (if you are tagged or not) to come up with something to do for me. It could be something funny/ridiculous, something I need to reflect about, something I need to write, some physical activity, a goal, something I need to master, A process that takes more than a day, Something I need to eat. or maybe something that I need to make sure I do before my teenage life ends. ANYTHING.

If you don't have an idea, then you can vote for someone else's if you want or you can ignore this :)

I do have some rules though...

1. Please nothing illegal. If its in the 'gray' area then you can still write it down and I will look over it.
2. I will not do any against my moral standards (I know most of you will be nice anyways but just wanted to clear that up :)
3. Preferably little to no costs
4. Nothing impossible like, "like tear of my arm and smack kittens with it."
5. Please keep in mind that I have no insurance as of this moment. (that will be changing soon though so you don't need to worry)

I think that is it.

I won't really have a complete list for awhile so feel free to to continue to write them during the time period. I am not sure how much I will do, probably more than 20 to keep it a challenge. I do work full time so we will see.

Thanks!
