and so far I've done two things on it. And they were things that I had already done before I made the official list.
One of them was to make a 1000 origami cranes and I've just made number 8 a minute ago.

I'm not a fan of any of that swimming with dolphins etc stuff. So my list will be comprised of grumpiness and slightly bizarre things

I've got a full 100 but Wiggy has only made it to 23. One of them is 'build something from wood that's not shit' - bless.

he hasn't even made a spice rack.
I think the weather is the main reason we can't have nice things.

I have never come across a style like it before. I am just over half way and will finish it tonight. I understand what they say about the poetry and prose things now.

I've done rollerblading, and seen a geyser blow, but the rest of the list is lovely.
My list would include:
Go surfing
Visit Japan
Drive across America

we clearly have to have a surf bash if it's going to fulfill one of your life ambitions.

here's 80 - 90
80. Tie a note to a balloon and let it go
81. Ice skate at Central Park at Christmas
82. Buy a lottery ticket
83. See a shooting star
84. Do the Trans-Siberian Express journey
85. Drink rum in the Caribbean
86. Get drunk on real absinthe
87. See a burlesque show
88. Learn to fight
89. See the Monaco Grand Prix
90. Go to a monster truck rally

I reckon it'd be fun, but you'd have to take a lot of booze along

84 my mates have done, they were bored rigid.
87... I've kinda done, it was more a couple of burlesque performances at a tattoo convention.
88 is vague, but I've done a bit of martial arts so that's that one checked.

so it would be sensible to know how to defend myself.
I meant to buy a lottery ticket when I turned 16, but truth be told, I don't know how to do it. I know that sounds silly, but I hate not knowing what I'm doing, so I didn't want to hold up a queue of people by asking the cashier. I put it on the list because otherwise I'll just never get round to it. Not everything on my list is "travel to the other side of the world" kind of stuff, I wanted to put manageable things on there too.

It's well over its 100 replies limit so hopefully it won't get in people's way. They're just fighting about drugs down there anyway.
