¡Cien!

This is my 100th post!! Dear readers, I can’t believe it’s already come to this many! As I look back on the past 100, I can’t help but be touched by all the things we’ve gone through. The soccer games, the running, the good times and bad. Most people do a contest or trivia game of sorts to commemorate their 100th post, but I couldn’t really think of anything for that. I’m not as clever as others, I suppose. So to celebrate this momentous occasion, I’ve decided to make a list of the 100 things I’d like to do before I die. I hope to accomplish them all-most likely with PJ at my side.

1. Go Bungee-Jumping. I want to do this so much!
2. Go on a cruise. I’m not picky, any cruise will do
3. To do that, I’ll need a passport.
4. Eat a Gray’s Pappaya hot dog. I’ve heard they’re delicious-I’ve always wanted to try one.
5. See a Broadway show, on Broadway, in New York
6. See the Grand Canyon. Even though I’m assured this is not that big of a deal, I still want to see it.
7. Go the 4 corners-Utah, New Mexico, Nevada, and Arizona. PJ has said she’ll take me-and I can’t wait.
8. Wax my legs. Even though it’ll be painful, I so want to try at least once
9. Ride every ride at Disneyland. I’m dangerously close to finishing this one, actually. I’m one ride away-I’m hoping we’ll do it next time!
10. Be an extra in a television show or movie. I don’t even have to have a line!
11. Go river rafting. So scary-but I want to!
12. Go to London-actually, any part of England, probably
13. Go to Australia-love those accents!
14. Travel by train-in both Europe and America
15. Go to an awards show-either one of the Oscars, Golden Globes, or the Emmys.
16. Go to the Ellen Degeneres Show-an audience member, if you can’t tell
17. Meet a celebrity-someone that I’d like to meet. Best one-Robert Downey Jr.
18. Go camping. Sleep in a tent.
19. Learn to swim-properly
20. Visit New England in the fall and take a drive through the foliage
21. Go to the Sundance film festival (and maybe see some celebrities there…)

24. Stay in the Plaza Hotel.
25. Visit Central Park
26. Go to the Hollywood walk of fame. Take a picture by my favorite stars.

94. Learn how many pickled peppers Peter Piper picked

96. Find a treasure map-and then find the treasure!
97. See Britney Spears in concert. I don’t know if it’ll be as good as she was back in her prime, but I think she would give an amazing concert. Don’t judge me.
98. Learn how to fence
99. See the Loch Ness Monster in real life-I know he exists!
100. Get into a fist fight-and win

Most of these are probably impossible, or at least will be hard to do. I’m going to try to do all of these-no matter how long they take me!
Happy 100th!
