If I didn't know any better...well, never mind

Someone is going to be 21 in less than 4 months. And I totally stole this idea from someone at work, but I've decided to compose a list of 21 things to do before I turn 21. But I suck at making lists, and ya'll don't - especially Amanda, so I need help! I'm trying to think of things that are fun and silly and kind of young and childish, maybe a little crazy or even subversive (I know that's a difficult ideal). Keep in mind I will be in Sicily from January 23rd till April 16th (which is my birthday) so I'm thinking maybe in terms of stamps on my passport, etc. Things having to do with the number 21 would be really cool, too. I already know the very last item on my list, which I'm only going to do if I get all the others done, but I can't tell you, because it's my excuse for a dirty little secret. It's really not dirty, I promise. Hmmm...what about read for 21 hours straight? Do you think I could do that? I've never been to an opera, so that's definitely going on the list, somewhere. Write me your suggestions quick because I need to get started. Also, does anyone want to join me in these?

Amanda, I don't think I can do that! But thanks for all of the confidence...some of them I'll try. You are amazing!

Lillian, you are also amazing, as you know, but I already died my hair auburn, and I'm afraid that's as crazy as I get, and I've never fallen in love with anybody, particularly someone I just met. Sorry. Got anything a little bit more Ashley?

but ashley. the point of twenty one is to branch out to become a new more perfect you. and auburn is about as crazzy as toast. you need to expand your horizons.

deffinately read twenty one authors you never read before. that might be healthy. for entertainment. and the twenty one blog posts is very very very ashley. even if you don't have the time.

you must go to a mall or public shoping place waring something very wacky too. like polkadots and stripes. you will be in europe so it wont be as strange. but at least you can give it a shot.

:D.
