My Kick It List

We all have them. Things we want to do before we die. Or before a certain age. Some of them are realistic. Some are so out of this world, literally, they are merely fantasies. I am no different. I think a lot of people call it their "Bucket List." But I'm going to call it "My Kick It List." These are all things I want to do before I kick it. Whether that means before I die or before I'm married and have my 8 kids and unable to even dream about completing any of them. 

1. Live in North Carolina. I think I want my permanent residence to be on the east coast. This is a little far fetched. Not only because the odds of me escaping Kansas are very low, but also because it's hard to pick up everything and relocate. But, since I have virtually nothing. I guess it's not so far fetched for me. 
2. Own a boxer. My puppy now is adorable. I love her. But nothing can compare to a boxer. I would name him "Cannon." #lifegoal
   
    
3. Watch a sunset on the beach. This would be easy to come by if I pick up and move to North Carolina. Sunsets are beautiful alone, but I could not imagine how breathtaking the reflection of the sunset in the water would be. And of course it would be made perfect hand in hand with the love of my life. 
4. Travel to Ireland. I'm a sucker for accents. Southern accents, British accents, hick accents... Ireland accents would take the cake. I would be absolutely defenseless against a sexy Irish fellow. 
5. Horseback riding on the beach. You see it in movies, but I'm not entirely sure if anyone ever actually does it. I also want to own a horse someday. A buckskin pony. Named "Chellarae." Just a fun fact, I have names picked out for all of my future kids and pets, so I hope my future husband doesn't have much of an opinion because I'm not changing my mind.
   
    
6. Fish in the dark. Okay, I've actually already done this. Many times. But I want to fish in the dark, with a campfire, and wine, under the stars, with someone I care about. 
7. Watch all the Harry Potter movies in one day.
8. Be naked all day. I want to go through a day without wearing any clothes at all. 
9. Meet a stranger at a bar and really get to know them. I turn 21 in 51 days. So I guess I can't accomplish this one until later. And I want it to be an interesting person. Someone with a story. 
10. Meet The Script, Safetysuit, or Mayday Parade. My first choice would be the guys from The Script. Their lyrics amaze me and I would love to pick their brains and learn where their inspiration comes from.
    
    
11. Visit a lighthouse. I think I'm destined to live on the water someday. No lie. 
12. Tell someone how I really feel. And not someone that knows me. Like Colton. I want to completely open up to someone who hasn't known me my entire life. That's a tough one. 
13. Smoke a cigar. The only think I've ever smoked is a hookah. And I didn't like it. But I want to smoke a cigar. I would be okay with never smoking a cigarette ever in my life. 

I'll probably add to this list at a later date, but for now, I think this will do. 

Peace, Love and Dreams

Why So Serious?

I have this strange feeling that people take me too seriously. I could have bigger issues, but this one tends to bother me. I would estimate that 65-75% of everything I say is sarcasm.
Problem is - I don't think it translates as sarcasm to people other than my close friends. My close friends know how sarcastic I am.
In all truth, I maybe sorta can get irritated easily, but it doesn't last. And I also try not to show it. So I want to know why everyone takes me so seriously.

Maybe I should start dressing up as the joker and proclaim "Why so serious?!"

Then maybe people would laugh with me. I would like some feedback on this. If anyone reads this. Generally I'm a pretty laid back, carefree person. I don't like people thinking I'm an uptight, temperamental psycho. 

I can be. On occasions. Rare occasions. But we all have our moments. 

On another note - It's finals week. I only have two finals. One in Concepts of MIS and one in Discrete Math. I need to study for both. But have so far been unsuccessful. I think at this point in the semester there is a relatively long list of things that I would rather do than study. Since I have the handy dandy tool of a numbering system, I'll just go ahead and make that list

1. Clean - If I am trying to avoid studying, I will clean my room, the kitchen, the bathroom.. anything. Do laundry. Anything but study.
2. Cook - I think a lot of people eat when they are procrastinating something, but I don't just heat up a hot pocket or throw a frozen pizza in the oven. I'll make some delicious cupcakes or a full blown meal. Much more time consuming.
3. Movie - This one is kind of a given. This one throws me off though. Because I'll tell myself that I'll study while I watch the movie. Yeah, that never happens. 
4. Read - My Kindle has drastically forced me to decrease my study time this semester. 
5. Work out - This isn't necessarily a bad thing. A little exercise is good for a person. Especially since I will be leaving for Florida in two weeks. That bikini isn't going to look good on its own!
6. Blog - If I can somehow put the millions of thoughts into words, I will write them down. Here in my lovely blog. Usually I can't put them together in a form that makes sense to the average human being, resulting in a post much like this one.

Anyways. I'm going to try and study. Yeah, that was a lie. I'm going to watch The Holiday and dream of a romance like the one Jude Law and Cameron Diaz have in that movie. (Great movie, by the way) 

Peace, Love, and Snowflakes
