31 before 31
lots of the lists I looked at online were lists of things to do before tuning 30, so just so my list is a little different, I am making a list of 31 things I want do before I turn 31 so here goes in no particular order. Updates to come as I cross them off my list.

so I don’t know how much I really believe in horoscopes and fortune cookies but I do like to collect ones I like. one of my favorites i have taped on to my computer so that when I am feeling crappy I can look at it and it makes me smile.
you’re growing almost too fast, Capricorn. You know almost too much and you’re almost too attractive. Furthermore, you’re on the verge of being riduculously smart, absurdly popular, and outlandishly creative. to avoid having any of this spawn jealously in others, you should probably go overboard in expressing humility – even if you have to fake it a little. Another step you could take to minimize any problems people might have wuth your amazing beauty is to be extravagaantly generous in your wealth.
