Week 4A : Top Ten

Top Ten Things on my "Bucket List"

1- Go sky diving; For some reason free falling toward earth with the treat of dying sounds thrilling!
2- Own a mustang; Even it is the day I die I want to own my very own Shelby Cobra and have someone drive me around in it all day.
3- Own my own architectural firm; I'm planning on going to college and studying architectural design. I'm also a controlling person who has a lot of ideas and I'd really like to develop this design program that I've been figuring out for a while now...I'm a nerd. I know.
4- Live in Japan; Last year, Olivia and I decided that when our husbands die and we're old we're gonna take a ton of money and go live in Japan for a year or so.
5- See as many places in the world as possible and spend every dollar I make trying to make the world a better place. No one needs a ton of money to live, and why do we need the highest quality things too? There are kids in Africa and many other places that are dying. How hard would it be to help prevent a few deaths if everyone helped chip in to save them?
6- Be in more than two places at once; In A Walk to Remember Jamie tells Landon she wants to be in two places at once and she proves that you can be...But how hard would it be to be in more than two places at once? Is it possible?
7- Take a bus across the country; I've talked to a few people who've actually done this and they said it's something they'll never forget and they wouldn’t change anything if they could because they learned a lot from it. I want to meet a ton of weird random people with awesome stories, and from what I hear; a Greyhound bus is a great place to do so...
8- Travel through Europe living out of a back pack; I've always wanted to go to Europe and see all the sites possible, and after my uncle went, I wanted to go even more. Sometime, I'd like to just get a plane ticket to go over there and then just stay until I've seen everything on my list. Maybe I'll buy a ticket to fly back to the states, but who knows for sure.
9- Trace my family's roots; When I asked my grandma what I am, she said I was basically a mix of everything, which sounds about right. But I'd really like to find out exactly where my great great great grandparents grew up and go visit there. I feel like there's a lot that I can learn about myself from finding out where I came from.
10- To make a difference in someone’s life and see the impact i had on them ; Kinda self explanatory but it's definitely something I want to see. My friends are always saying that I'll never know what all I've done for them, but I'd really like to see. Not even like what I did for them, but what they learned from me and what they did with it, cause that's something that you never really know.

Week 3A : Casting Your Life...

If my life became a blockbuster, i think Bethany Joy Galeotti would play me. My best friend would be that girl who sits in the corner and sees so much more than what meets the eye, like Peyton. She's a very artsy kind of girl and enjoys being depressed. My other best friend is a lot more like Brooke. If you know my best friends, you would understand.
The guys in my life totally relate to the guys in one tree hill. Which is rediculous. But still. It's true. My best friend is just as confused and lost and scared as Lucas, but can still have a ton of fun and be cool to hang out with. Then there's Mouth. He's a nerd, and he's a lot like another one of my friends.
My parents though, are nothing like anyone in the show. They're more like...Sandy and Kristen Cohen from the O.C. Totally in love and still struggling with all of lifes troubles in a very down to earth kinda of way...

Week 2A - The Ideal Mate

In order for him to be my "ideal mate," he has to be tall. I'd say between 5'9" and 6'. I prefer darker hair; blondes really just aren’t my thing. I love blue or green eyes. He can’t be too skinny, but he can’t be fat. Muscular is good, but not too muscular. He'd be interested in a lot of the same things as me, and HAS to love music. That’s nonnegotiable. He has to be a polite eater and have good table manners; gross eaters are disgusting. He has to be willing to work and be athletic and into sports. If he’s not a Cardinals, Bears or Illini fan, it’s not exactly a deal breaker— but if there’s any combination of those, it will be. He has to be a Christian and be active in his church and faith. And if he’s a cowboy, that makes all this even better (:

Week 1A : I'm so sorry...

To my dearest, loving, reliable iPod,
I'm sorry I never remember to take you places. I always leave you at home and I know you get fed up with it, always sitting there just waiting on me to come back to you. But you're getting a little...crowded. So I think we need to...take a break. Just for a while. Maybe someday, I’ll come back to you but, right now, I need a break. You have nothing new to offer me anymore. You just can’t give me what I need. It’s time to upgrade. I need more space. I’m sorry.
Sincerely,
Andrea
