Tuesday, February 26, 20086 THIINGS TO DO BEFORE 18My extremely mad, funny, beautiful friend Kaya has tagged me with this rather sane sounding thing eeeek! The rules are: 1. Post these rules before presenting your list. 2. List 6 actions or achievements you think every person should accomplish before turning 18. 3. There are no conditions on what can be included on the list. 4. At the end of your blog, choose 6, or less, people to get tagged and list their names. 5. The tagged peeps write their own blog entry with their 6 suggestions. 6. Leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged. Crikey! If I listed some of the things I got up to before the age of 18, my blog would warrant the special designer blue & red page thing, y'know, the one that says 'This site is Forbidden'. So, I think for the benefit of keeping my blog on the right side of the censors, I'd go with the following (snippets of sanity): 1) Enjoy your youth, 'cos you only have it once. Looking & acting 'all grown up' leaves an impression of about 3 nano seconds with your 'best friends'. You will get to be 'all grown up' in a few years time, when you will have the pressures of possibly a wife, a family, a mortgage & a pet that has a weak bladder & psychotic tendencies towards anyone who has the misfortune to walk through your front door. Enjoy your youth, cos it don't last for long! 2) Don't choose a career that you 'think' you might like or be forced into one that your parents feel is 'right' for you. Wait until you're slightly older & have had the opportunity to try out several short-term positions in various fields, before settling on a permanent choice. It's no good being a proctologist if you can't stand baked beans. 3) Understand that for every action, there is a reaction. It's a vitally important fact of life. 4) Travel, as far afield & as many times as you can afford to. We're given ONE life, which is so complicated at times it does my head in! We live in ONE world, unless you happen to be Terry Pratchett. Use every possible opportunity to travel to different parts of your home country, your home continent & then take it further if you can, to see other parts of the world. There really is so much to see & experience. Prove to yourself that you can't fall off of the edge of the world. 5a) MAKE time to stop & smell the flowers. 5b) Walk in the rain. 5c) Let yourself get splashed by waves if you walk along the shore. 5d) Marvel at the intricacies of a cobweb, instead of fearing the spider. 5e) Taste & try to identify every spice or herb in a special meal. 5f) Watch the sun go down & savour the moment it breaks over the horizon again, at the start of a whole new day. 5g) Feel the amazing softness of a horses muzzle. 5h) Cry when you watch a sad movie. 5i) Don't be afraid to admit you're wrong. 5j) Sing to yourself. 5k) Smile at a total stranger. 5l) Bungee jump. 5m) Use a dead cat as a toilet brush. (It helps if it's really stiff) 6) My final action or achievement is on a more personal note & it is to ride a Harley. If you just take one for a test ride, the feeling of longing to have your own will never leave you. There's something very special about a Harley & it's a feeling that I'd recommend to anyone. The following have been tagged, with humble apologies. You're under no obligation to do the tag, but if you don't, I'll just have to send you a cockroach cluster through the post :-)
