when didi you hitch hike! do tell:)
Okay- that was pretty cool! Fun stuff to learn about you! So tell me, do you get to make up your own 100 things? Or was this some kind of list? I am guessing you get to make them up- I want to try it! :) p.s. sorry we didn't recognize your cell phone number last night-DUH!! thanks for the birthday wishes!
I actually didn't make this list up, I found it on a blog, and seen it circulating on facebook. Sometimes its fun to think back on stuff you do in life. I hitch hiked mainly up little cottonwood or provo canyon for snowboarding, so its not like it was really scary. Also, most of my hitchhiking was done when I lived in China, just to get around in the middle of the country, people were really friendly and happy to meet an american. So it worked out.
I love your list. A lot of stuff we did together. I almost forgot our ramones cover band. 20 20 24 hours a dayyyyy. Was that the only song?
I remember hitch hiking with Tamara on University Ave. trying to get rides from Provo High to Timpview. Were you ever involved in this naivety?
oh yah, i was wondering if you knew the name of that weird photo/wedding makeover place that we "modeled" for? I have those pictures still and am embarrassed to show them to people.
LOVE your list! You've done so many of them!! Its fun to "see" you again!
