Paulson - I'm writing this just because you issued such a vocal outcry (and used far too many exclaimation marks in the process).
1. Watch The Dark Knight.
2. Listen to Viva La Vida in one sitting, front to back. (Not hard to do, it's only 45 minutes and 53 seconds long.)
3. Climb the nearest chesnut tree - guaranteed good time + exercise = a win-win situation.
4. Keep a journal. Write in streams of thought. Don't read over any entries until at least a week later.
5. Space your ears and then put straws through them the next time you're at McDonald's. [N.B. I won't be offended if you don't share my enthusiasm on this one.]
6. Struggle through a book that's ridiculously above your skill level (ex. The Story of Philosophy).
7. Take a long nap.
8. Upon waking up, drink black peppermint tea. It's quite revitalizing.
9. Read some Edgar Allan Poe.
10. Go fishing asap - it just finished raining so they'll be biting like mosquitoes.
11. Start listening to Ella Fitzgerald.
12. Try ketchup on everything - you may be pleasantly surprised.
13. Hangout with a sweet friend on the roof of their house.
14. Find something you wrote when you were little. Read it.
15. Go treasure hunting in a junk yard.
16. Take piano lessons.
17. Thank God for grace.
18. Do some (or if you're feeling particularly ambitious, all) of the aforementioned things.

1. Watch The Dark Knight. (DONE! with glee)
2. Listen to Viva La Vida in one sitting, front to back. (Not hard to do, it's only 45 minutes and 53 seconds long.) (DONE! with just about same amount of glee)
3. Climb the nearest chesnut tree - guaranteed good time + exercise = a win-win situation. (don't wanna risk it)
4. Keep a journal. Write in streams of thought. Don't read over any entries until at least a week later. (I have a poetry book does that count? It has some pretty stream of conscienceness things in it)
5. Space your ears and then put straws through them the next time you're at McDonald's. [N.B. I won't be offended if you don't share my enthusiasm on this one.] (Sure, I'll do it. With you though or someone who is a brave soul.)
6. Struggle through a book that's ridiculously above your skill level (ex. The Story of Philosophy). (Dr. Seuss here I come!)
7. Take a long nap. (DONE! with joy)
8. Upon waking up, drink black peppermint tea. It's quite revitalizing. (I shall!)
9. Read some Edgar Allan Poe. (Recommend anything other than The Raven?)
10. Go fishing asap - it just finished raining so they'll be biting like mosquitoes. (I've lost more than I caught; a watch and my dignity. I caught a branch once!)
11. Start listening to Ella Fitzgerald. (DONE with yummyness....SUMMER!!TIME!)
12. Try ketchup on everything - you may be pleasantly surprised. (meh)
13. Hangout with a sweet friend on the roof of their house. (I have no sweet friends, I ate them all. Oh, you mean people friends. Umm, I have no suitable people nor the setting to do so.)
14. Find something you wrote when you were little. Read it. (Burned the evidence a long time ago...jks!)
15. Go treasure hunting in a junk yard. (okay)
16. Take piano lessons. (if by piano lessons you mean jam on the piano randomly with no train of thought nor music sheets, I'm down!)
17. Thank God for grace. (yes yes, must do that more!)
18. Do some (or if you're feeling particularly ambitious, all) of the aforementioned things. (why am I responding to this?)
Number 11. Yes. Agreed.
