Why have I been MIA? Well basically, I had nothing to write about. The more I actually do, the less I have time and energy to dedicate to thinking up something to write about, never mind actually writing anything.
But then I realized, HEY. I can and should do both! Write and live, I mean. Because looking at this list, I haven't really done much. I have my own personal bucket list, but here's 100 things from someone else's. The thing's I've done are in bold. How few and far between... =(
