Happy birthday me! is it normal to have a yearly to do list?

Hey it's disthing.

So tomorrow I turn 25.

25!

In the midst of my Quarter Life Crisis, I've decided to make a to do list... 25 things to do before the end of the year. 25 things I have to try my hardest to achieve before 26 comes around.

Is this normal behaviour?

    Happy Birthday!!! =)

    Borrow a book from a library and never return it
    Sniff a bald man and ask him which shampoo he uses
    Go #2 in a crowded public restroom and exclaim, disgruntled, that you got poop on your pants
    Go #2 in a crowded public restroom and don't flush
    Look up dumb laws in your local area and break one. (Here, Florida, it's illegal to fart in a public place after 6pm on a Thursday. I've broken this law)
    Ask a black neighbor for a cup of sugar and then tell them, with a straight face, it isn't white enough, before walking away without the sugar.

    Hope this helps! =)

    Awesome idea!
    Do porn
    Get a motorcycle
    scuba
    Extra income (find something you can do in your spare time to make a little extra cash)
    Teach some kid how to do something eg. ride a bike, swim.
    Make something out of wood
    Have sex with someone from a different ethnic background
    Surprise tattoo (get one of your idiot mates to pick a tattoo design for you, you don't see it till after it's done)
    Do something bad eg. shoplifting
    Do something good eg. volunteer at a nursing home
    Create your own signature dish

    You attention whore! I thought you were like, I dunno....40. Ok not really, more like later 20's. Whateverrrr. Gosh you're old.

    Learn to fly.
    Feather a nest.
    Eat bugs for breakfast :o
    Skip merrily through a flower field in the rain while singing singing in the rain.
    Paint your toenails.
    Build a sand castle with a moat and miniature trebuchets to fire small gourds at the enemy.
    Milk a bull.
    Spin a web.
    Make a scrapbook of your year 25 to do list accomplishments.
    Become a man the bullet ant way.
    Learn how to gesture "IIN 4 LYF" in sign language... though the look on your face and the lack in your grace say it all.........

    Bwahahahaha!!! I'm sorry. I have no lyf :(

          Not sure - my job requires me to use the internet so it depends if there's any opportunity to do it this year. But I still think it would be a challenge to try :)

    Happy Birthday! You're one year closer to dying! Yay, death!

    Today was my friend's birthday, so yaaaaay! I gave her chocolate (one Snickers bar to be specific) and a tea bag (Orange passion fruit green tea to be specific)! ...I'll give her a real gift at her party...

    Well, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (Sorry, I don't think I can give chocos or tea bags over the computer, but... Here's a cyberhug instead! *Hug*)

    It's like a to do list but in the form of an RPG. It's fairly basic but pretty neat!

  • howaminotmyself

    I thought there was going to be a list?

    Happy Birthday!

    Train for a triathlon
    shear a sheep
    rent a car
    fly kites on the beach
    learn how to dig a latrine

    I don't know. I had nothing to go on.

      I misread this just now. I saw the words 'fly kitties on the beach'

      ... Yeah.

    • disthing

      The list as it stands is pretty dull; stuff like:
      Get a better job
      Move house
      Travel abroad at least once
      etc.

      I'm only at 10, so figured the weird people of IIN might be able to chip in with some suggestions. Digging a latrine will not be going on there, but shearing a sheep might.

      Why punch a Welshman?

        Cuz I know he's from England. They have a bit of a cheeky rivalry with the Welsh.

          You mean like Welsh people are supposed to be English or something? My great-grandpappy was Welsh. My dad always tells me about how he was the sweetest, coolest, nicest old gentleman.

          Then gain, I also had a Welsh boyfriend when I was 21 who was kind of a jerk. He was always singing and playing his guitar. I used to pretend he was serenading me, but considering he kept going after I'd get bored and fall asleep he probably just liked listening to himself.

              Yup, it can be confusing for an American like me. I wish my great-grandfather had lived longer so I could have met him. He died when he was in his fifties whereas his wife, my great-grandmother, lived to be 98 years old!
