i wrote this about 7 months ago and found it in my drafts. here you go!
my blogger friend, mrs. dexter, inspired me. i call her my blogger friend because i really don’t know her other than her totally rad blog. which i think is kind-of cool.
anyway, she inspired me to write a list of things i’d like to do before i’m thirty. i’m 23 (shocking, i know) shoot, i’m 24 now, is that still shocking? and i have approximately 6 5.5 years left to accomplish these things. so, because i’ve been dreaming and scheming about a lot of these things anyway, here you go.
