Lists...expanded

I swung by my friend's blog and found a list there waiting for me. Sometimes you are surprised by the little known facts...sometimes not, sometimes you just revisit good memories.

So here you go--

Rules are: Anything you have done has to be in bold. How many have you done?
Also, I put an * by the ones that I plan to do, or plan to do again...
Add one or two original ones at the bottom... :)
