26 in 26

I guess it is time again, for me to do something that everybody is doing...
I feel like I have been an individual for far too long now.
so as a follower, I shall now complete my 26 in 26 list.
why am I so old...

of course I don't turn 26 until December 13th [that is your second reminder, don't forget now people!]
but this will give me a little bit of a head start, you know,
in case the opportunity arises to do something to better myself [obviously!] before my birthday.
lets not pretend that some items on this list aren't going to be completely retarded or selfish, because they totally are.
if this is not the kind of list that you are looking for, go find a different list!
