Moving Forward

As I am only 23 years old I should have plenty of time left in my life to do the things that I want. But we aren't guaranteed a long and healthy life, so I would rather work on getting things checked off my bucket list sooner rather than later.

Some things I still want to do with my life:
1. Make a few YouTube videos with my sister of us singing
2. Get a tattoo
3. Travel around Europe with my friend Melanie
4. Design and sell some stationery
5. Move to England
6. Open a store (not sure if I want it to be a stationery store or a tea shop with art for sale... thinking the latter)
7. Sing in front of a crowd
8. Start a family
9. Learn how to play the guitar

*Not necessarily in that order

I have never been an adrenaline junkie, so I know for a fact that if I added anything like "go skydiving" I would never look at this list again. I wanted to keep this list as short and realistic as possible, only including the things that have been on my heart and mind for a long period of time (at least 2 years of bugging my conscious).

Now the problem is: how am I going to work through this list? Currently, I don't have much in the way of a plan other than SAVE LIKE CRAZY until I can financially follow through on my travel plans. The rest of the list are things that I don't really need money to accomplish, just determination to get it done.

Silly in the Tilley

So today was spent going in and out of the Tilley after church. While Taylor was doing his laundry we went to the Tilley center to check on the Redskins game. When we went to leave, Taylor had decided that there were just enough people there to try something silly. So as we were walking out the door, Taylor whistles as loud as he can the mockingjay song from The Hunger Games and everyone in the Tilley center whistles it back at different intervals and it sounded just like the movie. After we got Taylor's clothes out of the dryer we went back to the Tilley with my roommates to play soccer and go swimming (I only made one goal on Taylor, he made almost 20 on me). While we were in the hot tub  we met a nice guy who lives only 15 minutes from me and went to OPHS. As we're talking to this guy, my roommates get up out of the water and start dancing. I felt left out, so I got up and joined them. I bet we looked hilarious. Note to self: Roommates are your best mates.

Snakes.... too many snakes

Dreams can be a troublesome, torturous, dreadful thing. So here, internet; my worst nightmare. I was running around the kitchen doing a bunch of tasks like in those time management games; every so often running into another room to press a button on the wall. I didn't know what the button did, but there was a screen above it which showed me my next task in the kitchen. After a few rounds of running I forgot to press the button, and when I went to press it the screen was red. I went back to the kitchen to try and keep going, but i heard a hissing coming from the stove. When I turned to look at what was making that sound ("maybe I left the gas on?") I saw a small head with bright eyes lying on top of a heap of beheaded snakes. I realized that their heads had been chopped off by a guillotine every time I pressed the button. I turned to run, but it followed me, and two more were already coming out of the wall. The one I had first seen was preparing to attack, rising and spre...
