okay fine, maybe i have been slacking off lately. its been a while since i had a list posted. and when you get an email from a good friend, whom you always love hearing from, saying "UPDATE YOUR BLOG, DANGIT", then you know its about time.
so last night i sat in bed, and thought of different lists i should do. some might never happen. some might be really stupid. some might get me closer to that nobel prize for mathematics. but regardless, i looked at my paper when i was done, and realized, heh... there's 25 on here... dont ask me how it happened. i swear, it wasnt planned, but i came up with a list of 25 lists i should do. and here it is.
25 lists of 25 i should do sometime soon
1. 25 things somehow involving barrels... not much of a point behind this one, just associating barrels with things in any way i can.
2. 25 reasons for slow updates... self-explanatory. i'll save this one for later though.
3. 25 twenty-five second rambles.... if i can ever make an audio list, this would be a good one... i'll walk up to 25 people, have them randomly pick one of 25 topics, and have them ramble about it for 25 seconds. sounds like fun, right?
4. 25 reasons to either hate or love the holidays... again, self explanatory.
5. 25 words that rhyme with "poo"... im wondering how difficult this would really be... i mean yeah, there are probably tons of words out there, but can i avoid words like "caribou?" can i limit myself to only five words of two syllables of more? i dont know.
6. 25 good edsel memories... the bio teacher that taught me that i should "smile: it could have been a monday today."
7. 25 fun holiday ideas... for those who still need to shop, decorate, or otherwise waste their time in december.
8. similarly, 25 items on my wish list this year... for those who just want to waste your money on someone you dont know.
9. similarly still, 25 ways to get rid of those unwanted christmas gifts... self explanatory.
10. 25 ways to risk your life... i dont have much planned yet for this yet, but i know "walk into a bath and body works store" is one of them.
11. 25 lines i'd like to hear all incorporated into one radio show drama... just use your imaginiation on this one. (maybe if i sent this list to ira glass...)
12. 25 random objects in my room... things happen. trust me.
13. 25 strange things to hear a person say on a cell phone call... doesnt matter the response the person gets, just what did they say in the first place?
14. 25 ways you shouldnt slice spam... i mean, apparantly, there's only one right way to slice it...
15. 25 gameshows, or at least the first 25 to pop into my head... self explanatory.
16. 25 more things on random wall... maybe its about time we stopped back in my bedroom for general insanity... its a lot bigger than it was last time!
17. 25 reasons why npr has made my life so much better... no, i'm not obsessed. shut up.
18. 25 things i didnt do this week, but probably should have
19. 25 things i found on pieces of scrap paper... if it's an 8-1/2 x 11 sheet of paper and clean on one side, i'll quarter it and use it as scrap paper... but what lies in that big stack?
20. 25 things your junior alchemist set wont do... you'd be surprised!
21. 25 reasons to have a paper route... i'll do my best to come up with something, at least. (kidding.)
22. 25 articles of clothing i own, have owned, or desire to own... a list to file under "tmi".
23. 25 things i've downloaded off the internet... really a pointless list. but do you notice how as i'm writing this list, i'm taking less time to describe each thing? i find that kinda funny.
24. 25 possible origins of the 25 things series... i mean, hey, i could have stolen the idea from david letterman's top 10, or something on the internet... why not explore the conspiracies?
25. 25 lists of 25 i should do sometime soon.... okay, been there, done that, bought the t-shirt, wore it out, donated it to the salvation army.
questions? comments? insults? lists or ideas for lists? alternative spellings of the word "apocolypse?" send them all to
