You do not know how hard it was for me not to add my own little comments on some of them like:
~Riden in a Gondola - saw people riding in them, but was too cheap to pay for one of my own.
~Slept in an overnight train - I was too afraid to ride in one of those, but I slept in regular European trains
~Seen Michaelangelo's David - I saw the replica in Florence (outside the place where you have to make reservations to see the real one...yeah, didn't know that)
~Visted the birthplace of your ancestors - I have been to the country but not the city. Berlin is still a place we want to go.
~Visted Africa - I saw Africa from the top of The Rock (Gibraltar)
~Sung Karaoke - I won't try, as I'll never be as great a karaoker as Jessi. I can never make some old British people so disgusted that they can't drink their wine with a rendition of "Love Shack".
~Been in a movie - I've been in a "Made by 10th Graders" version of The View, discussing Julius Caesar.
~Been to the top of the Eiffel Tower - went to Paris 3 different times. Went halfway up it once, again, it falls into the "I'm too cheap" category.
~Read the entire Bible - started it so many times. I WILL finish it! I WILL!
~Kissed in the rain - I hate getting wet when I'm fully clothed or not in swimwear, I'll take a covered patio or something instead.
~Saved someone's life - I save Brian's all the time. As does he, me. We kill spiders...that definitely saves each other's lives.
~Met somone famous - tons of people, except that they aren't really famous...or I haven't really met them. The man who owns the Italian restaurant in Big Daddy. The wine instructor/tour guide guy in Romania (hey, he SHOULD be famous!) Being 4 feet from Yoko Ono. Ditto with David Letterman. Brad Paisley and Will Smith have both waved directly at ME. T-Murph (Aggie Football player). Geoff Hangartner (actually, he does play football in the NFL and he sat behind me in Finance at A&M). I've myspace friends with the J-Train (whoo-whoo) Javorski Lane. I have met a guy who has Michael Jordan's number in his cell phone and a signed golf ball of Tiger Woods (if you know anything about golf, you know that Tiger NEVER autographs golf balls).
~Killed and prepared an animal to eat - a fish. I hated every second of it.
~Been involved in a lawsuit - I think I was in a class-action lawsuit with Verizon once. And the DeBeers diamond one (we're still awaiting our cash money, thank you very much).
~Had enough money to be truly satisfied - I am honestly pretty content. I think too much stress comes with having too much money. We're not rich by any means, but I think we're smart with our money and that'll pay off over time.
~Given more than I can afford to charity - very ashamed of myself
~Bought a meal for a stanger - again, ashamed of myself

Ok, I'm done. Peace out, have a great weekend!
