A Simple Seed (Bucket List)

“If one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces, never be afraid to pick one of those pieces up and begin again.” 

~Flavia Weedn

I've removed myself from the facets of the technological universe.  Facebook?  Deleted.  Aim?  Never used.  I, Amanda Lehman, the once social butterfly of a vessel more commonly referred to as 'the prom queen', have gone irrevocably mad and removed myself (for the most part, since I'm now returning to blogging) from cyberspace.  Maybe someone I once knew will find me, and if you have, I can guarantee you one thing- I am so far from the person that I once was, that reading my thoughts plastered randomly throughout this blog will be like staring into the window of a stranger's home.  So, peeping Toms, good luck with your transition.

Hm, what to write?  I don't know; I was thinking this morning about how much I crave adventure these days. Then I thought, why not make a bucket list?  I'm still not sure how the timing will go, whether I do a new thing daily, weekly, or monthly.  I need to start living life again.  My way of doing that is to create a list of things I've never done or want to do again, a set of goals that I'd like to accomplish for my own state of being.

So, here goes- a couple ideas that I have (randomly, off the top of my head)

-Adopt a Child

-Minor in Anthropology

-Travel to Latin America to do a Field Study (with my Anthropology degree)

-Go to NYC with Dustin (my best friend)

-Go to Church (It's literally been years)

-Study a Different Religion

-Get a tattoo

-Color my Hair Blonde (I'm a Natural Brunette)

-Shave My Head for Cancer Patients

-Road Trip to Florida to See David (best friend #2)

-Help a Stranger Find His Way In Life

-House a Homeless Person, or Maybe Run a Shelter

-Visit with Virginia, my Neighbor

-Interview John Trudell (Should Have Been #1)

-Plant a Garden

-Make a Political Statement

-Join a Club

-Read "One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest"

-Move Down South (Or at least vacation)

-Be a Drug and Alcohol Counselor

-Wear Brown Contacts

-Trace My Native American Ancestory

-Help My Father Forgive

-Buy Red Tulips for My Grandmother

-Sell Almost Everything I have

-Walk Anywhere within 4 Miles that I Need to Go for a Week, Rather than Drive

-Use Solar-Powered Electricity

-Adopt a Dog from the SPCA

-Engage in Modern Art (9x9 Canvas, Spray Paint, Rolled Up Jeans- all of it)

-Become a Caricature Artist

-Swim with Sharks

-Fall in Reciprocated Love

Okay, that's all for today!! Will check in a bit later.
