BUCKETS!

ha, not actual buckets.
deena started talking about bucket lists [things you want to do before you die] over on her blog, and in response to her question "what would yours look like?" i typed the following list:

- get a large tattoo
- record an album
- put fun colors in my hair, like pink/purple/teal
- swim with sharks
- go deep sea fishing [i don't know why]
- roadtrip in a winnebago

here are some other things i think would be fun to do before i died. most are irrational, some are poigniant [just because i wanted to use the word], all would be good for my soul:
