Do something that scares the crap out of me.

This for sure happened today.
a Turkish guy was taking a liking to me.
He even came to The Net.
Long story super short, I had to stand up to him, despite my fears of what could happen and my fears caused by what has happened before, and tell him no.

I did.
And afterwards, I broke down.

It was a very emotional thing for me
But I do believe it qualifies for this life list-er
I'm sure there will be more of these happening

Ironically, before the net, I was watching the biggest loser, and one of the trainers said,

"Doing something you're afraid of is the only way you can grow"

So true.

Cook something from scratch with no "incidents"

I realized I did this one a while back
Before Chrissy got married

She helped me make stuffed chicken Parmesan from scratch
and nothing bad happened
it actually tasted good.

I wish this was second nature to me.
maybe one day.

28, 31, 34, etc.

So, a few of my list that I have accomplished but haven't gotten to post about.

#28.
Show true kindness to everyone.

There is an encouraging update on this one.
I got a card from my co-worker today.
It says

"With you, being real is easy--you just get me, and that means more to me than you'll ever know. I'm so lucky to have someone like you in my life"
Then she wrote,
"Just wanted to say thanks for being who you are <3 people need more friends like you in their life that bring out the best in them by inspiring them to be kinder, patient & happy!
Emileeeeeeeee you're a very considerate friend, subtle yet strong woman of God, beautiful inside & out, FUNNY kind of person I'm grateful to Him for :)
<3 Liz"

This meant more to me than words could ever express.

Write a song.

Jon Foreman put out a challenge to everyone to write a song with the same title on the same day.
I wrote the words to one.
It's a lullaby. It's called "Tomorrow's Song" and it's on my facebook.

Sell Photos I've Taken.

On November 7, 2010 my friend Rachel told me about an art walk on the island.
My sister and I got to be a part of it.
I sold a good $50 worth, which was awesome, and when I was printing the pictures, they accidently printed twice, so the lady gave them to me, which was awesome.
The first picture I ever sold was of my rainboots :)
I thought that was great :)

edits.

So, my co-worker is on this "life is too short" kick.
well, I've been bitten with the bug.
So, now we are going to be doing completely random, possibly dangerous things over the next six months before she leaves for Spain.
Then, I want to visit her in Spain.

So, be prepared for random posts of things that may not have been on my original list
And hopefully getting to mark some of the original things off.

:)

Mark
"Get asked out by a Turkish guy"
off my list of things to do.

Number 9 update.

My dad told me he found my brother on facebook.
That he went by Vic.

I found him.
I added him.
He accepted.
And we messaged back and forth a few times this weekend.

This. Is. HUGE!

I've been freaking out with excitment.
He's not a fairytale anymore.
He's real
He's alive
He's successful.

He lives in Austin. Trying not to get my hopes up, but hoping maybe I can meet him.
If nothing else, communication is enough for me :)

He knows who I am :)
