My roommate came up with the idea to do 100 things in 1001 days, and I love the idea. I really wanted to see what is on her list to compare it with mine, but unfortunately I never got on the Livejournal bandwagon and she has her list closed. Coincidentally, I have a list of things I want to do before I die, and I complied that list into a list that could possibly be doable in 3 years. Since that list was WAY too short I added several more things off the top of my head and I still only have 80 items on the list. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!
