37. Fall in love
There can really be no explanation for number 37. Maybe it's something I'll learn to put into words after some time, but maybe not. Feel's nice to know that I'm still working, though.
Update:
While it's still hard to put into words, I think it's a little easier to explain now. When I met Paul, we talked about everything under the sun..and after having discussed everything in our brains, I knew that I loved him in such a special way, I knew I would never feel that again, quite like that. Still gets me flustered, and we've been together nearly five months now! He's the most brilliant man I have ever known, and I'm so lucky to have him in my life. I love him so much that I can't believe it sometimes. I can't believe that something like this actually exists! It's great! And for the record....I'd like to justify the random hotel room ordeal by stating that the person I went into the hotel room with turned out to be the man that I'm likely going to spend the rest of my life with. You do the math :)

7. Pick up an additional 7 instruments
This one is going to be a work in progress, but I've decided to keep a running tab on it. I've played the piano since I was 5 years old, and since having been accepted to the music program and meeting with the Dean, I've had this strange urge to just play everything that I can. So, my brother and I got a new drum kit, and I re strung my acoustic, and purchased a sunburst fender squier. I've started taking drum lessons, and I'm moving really really quickly, which is so awesome. I'm going to have to wait for Brett to get back from touring with Mariana's Trench this summer in order to start the guitar. But it's ok, I'm going to work my ass off with the drums this summer and get really proficient, and we'll work on things one at a time. I've also purchased a Uke and have been playing that in my spare time as well. Same with a harmonica, but it's hard because its a C+ harmonica and its diatonic, so theres not a lot of range. But I'm learning slowly! And playing lots with the band so yayyy!!!

17. Hike a trail in BC
With the help of my good friend Brennen, I conquered the Grouse Grind. It's an epic adventure of a trail, a terrifying 2 miles uphill. They've made the mountain a giant staircase, and it's one of the most physically demanding trails in BC. The best time is something ridiculous like 39 minutes....and I completed it for my first time in 90. Which isn't bad considering I suck at anything athletic, annnnd I haven't been to the gym in a while. I wasn't even sore the next day! Epic climb!!!! Check out the trail:

33. Randomly check into a hotel
I'm not going to go into incredible detail about this one. I'll leave it at it was quite possibly the best night of my life spent with someone who is quite possibly the most fascinating person I have ever, ever been in the presence of. Great, great night, and the absolute best conversation of my entire life.
36. Dye my hair a super strange color
So I'm in Victoria a while ago and I go to shoppers drug mart, and randomly pick up a tin of purple washout color. I get to Stefania's and head to the washroom to put it in my hair. Been doing it at the hair dressers with a semi-perm ever since. It's so rad! What I haven't told anyone is that I'm going duo toned next time. Magenta and purple. Boom.
63. Stop purchasing greeting cards and make them instead
This one is pretty self explanatory. I stopped purchasing greeting cards a solid 2 months ago, because it's so much more personal when they are made from scratch. Got the idea from my best friends little sister. Yay, Nadia!

20. See Alcatraz in San Francisco
This one is pretty self explanatory and was covered in doing number one. I had been to SF once before with a choir but we didn't have the opportunity to get to Alcatraz, which is something that I had been meaning to do for a while. Naturally when we got to SF this time around, Stef and I were like, "there's no way we're missing Alcatraz." Amen. We took the moving audio tour, which was comprised of the voices of past prisoners and guards, and were granted stories and facts about Alcatraz. We were able to walk the rock freely and took a ton of awesome photos. Very cool time for us!
24. Drive an American highway
I drove an American highway when the girls and I hit up Seattle. We went on a shopping spree when Marta came back into town from having nearly finished her first year abroad in medical school....good times. I don't think I've ever driven that fast in my life! And in that quantity, either. So much driving. So much so that I made Marta drive home because my brain was slowly dying. All the tiredness aside, it was something that I had always wanted to do. The number of lanes in American highways are baffling, and it's something that I had always wanted to conquer!
26. Buy a skateboard
I took a trip to Metrotown to visit my brother at work, and I ended up wandering into toys'r'us, because that's how Jess rolls, and I purchased a skateboard! I looked at the good ones in the skate shops, but I wasn't sure how much I would a) love skateboarding and b) be good at it in any way shape or form. So I settled for a cheap first time board. It has a chihuahua on it. It looks really, really irate. I named it Skittles, just because I know that dog would have HATED it. Anywho, I get out on it once in a while, and I'm getting better at it, but it took a couple of embarrassing tumbles in front of home. My dog LOVES sitting on the skateboard and being pushed down the street. All her face hair parts and you just see this squinty, mini chewbaca thing flying down the street on a skateboard. Brilliant!

1. Visit a city on the west coast (USA)
I recently took an epic trip to San Francisco with one of my best friends Stephanie, and it was just the most amazing trip ever. From the second that we arrived in San Fran, we had the time of our lives. We met amazing people at our hostel, and experienced many things for the first time. We lived off of noodles, and had enough money for sight seeing and souvenirs, and that was pretty much it. We saw the golden gate bridge, coit tower, Alcatraz, climbed all the way up Lombard road, chinatown, a bit of the nightlife, and walked some sick ass hills. We came back with asses made of steel. Needless to say, this trip is gonna me tough to top! Amazing people, amazing times, amazing to knock off an item on my list.
2. Swim 50 consecutive laps.
I was finally able to do this in March. After the epic failure that was January, I decided to use the pool as my veritable punching bag....and hit it once a day every day at 7am. I've since slowed down...but on the last day of classes, I was not only able to hit the pool, but I swam that shit 50 times and couldnt believe it! It felt so good to actually do something that I had wanted to do for so long. It was incredibly empowering going from doing 10 laps to 20, to 30, and then staying on 40 because I wasnt sure that I could do more...and then I did it. Yay, me!
