20 today, feeling a bit crappy. I'm two freaking decades old now and I feel like I haven't accomplished anything in my life. Or anything meaningful, I guess I should say.
NEVER HAVE I EVER:
1. Traveled out of North America! I'd love to go to Europe and Asia, but I just don't have the fundage to do that. But I feel like such an ignorant North American; I can never truly empathize with the plights of others in third world countries. I feel so unworldly! Everyone else I know has been travelling, or at least been to one other country than the states. I think I really need to go to these places for myself!
2. Done anything I'm really, truly proud of! Can't add much to this one.
3: Had a boyfriend. People seem to look down on me when they realize I've never had a boyfriend ("Wow, what's wrong with YOU!") but I am perfectly happy with myself as an independent unit, so I can't say I feel like I'm missing out on much?
4. Dyed my hair! I think I might like to. But I've never had a reason to, and I'm more or less okay with my true hair colour. Maybe if I live to 80 I'll dye my hair bright purple or something.
5. Seen Star Wars. My friend tried to get me to watch the first one, but I totally fell asleep within the first ten minutes, so I have no idea what actually happened. Nerd fail!
BUT I TOTALLY HAVE:
1. Eaten LOTS food off the ground. Three second rule for the win?
2. Been Chunky-dunking, Skinny-dipping's slightly more obese cousin.
3. Been in a fistfight at school. And didn't get suspended for it!
4. Been suspended in Elementary School. It was only an in-school suspension, though? Still pretty bad, I guess.
5. Eaten moldy food on a monthly basis. I don't know what it is with me, I guess I never really look closely at things before I eat them...
I think I should make a life bucket list and try to accomplish at least one thing on that list per year!
Oh, Micaela!!! I'm sending mega-hugs for your birthday! We're all getting old and achey but at least there's still so much more life to fill up with work and school and fun stuff. Preferably the last one, but you know how it is... Come on over to the island when you can, and we can be old and as of yet unaccomplished together!
ReplyDeletePS - when it comes to Star Wars, especially the 1st one, you're not missing much.
Thanks Kirsten! Yeah, I'm sick of work already, but I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles. I will definitely take you up on that offer, being unaccomplished on Vancouver island is a lot better than being so in just plain old vancouver. :)
ReplyDeletePS - I'm glad. :P
Let me know when you can invade! I am heading out on the job hunt soon, some places showed interest so hopefully I'll have a schedule to work around soon. Keep on keeping on!
