The Flower List #23: Go to a Midnight Premiere of a Movie

Whoohoo! Another thing down on the list.

Thursday night, I lined up with a bunch of my family members and their friends to see Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2. We dressed up, saw some crazy fans L.A.R.P.ing and just had SO much fun. It was amazing, just the whole atmosphere. I wanted to stay there forever!

I won't say anything about the movie, for those of you that haven't seen it. But I cried, and cried, and laughed, then cried some more. It was insane.

Me and my cousin Emily, (I'm on the right!).

Going to a midnight movie is definitely exciting and fun, but I think you'll enjoy it more if you're a true fan of whatever you're going to see! Like even though I read and enjoy the Twilight series, I don't think I'd go and see Breaking Dawn at midnight because I'm not CRAZY about it. Hopefully something else will capture my heart like Harry Potter, but until then, and forever always- long lived The Boy Who Lives!

Have you been able to cross anything off of your "Bucket List" lately?




50% said Yes! :)
0% said No :(
0% said I still don't know what a bucket list is...
50% said No lately, but I'm working on it!
0% said I don't have one.
and...
0% said Yeah but nothing MAJOR.



Well, I'm really glad for those that have been successful with their Bucket List adventures, but mine is just collecting dust in my closet. I'm lazy, I know, we've been over this.



Buttt..... two of my best friends have been able to accomplish some cool things lately that I wanted to share with you! One of my friends, Brianna, got to see the Jonas Brothers in concert this past Saturday. She's been a fan for a while and has been dying to see them live! She said the concert was amazing and I can't wait to see all her pictures and videos when she gets back home from a vacation in Florida. My other friend, Jacob, got to meet Kathy Griffin at one of her book signings. So, whatever you have written on your list, big or small, work on it!! Again, I should take my own advice...

What have you accomplished lately?? Leave a comment! :)



P.S. Thanks for getting me to eight followers! Made my day.

Do you watch The Buried Life?

18% said, Yes!
18% said, No.
45% said, What is that?
and...
another 18 % said, A couple of times.

Seeing as many of you aren't aware, The Buried Life is an amazing show on MTV. It's reality show (don't worry, a good one!) about a group of guys traveling around crossing things off of their bucket list. Very much like what I'm trying to do here, but not succeeding! If you have not seen it, I really think you should check it out! Go over to http://www.theburiedlife.com/ or http://www.mtv.com/shows/buried_life/series.jhtml. I'm glad a handful of you watch it! I'm not sure if they are having a second season (the first ended in March?) but I sure hope they do!

So.... about my Flower List. Things are slow. I mean, a lot of these things I can't accomplish right now! Mostly I want to travel places and that will have to wait. I'm still working hard on being able to do a spilt and I've seen progress, minor but still. I hope I can start working on #1: Make a Tree House. I had plans to make it in my summer house where it's very woodsy but I'm not sure what trees would work for it! #5: Learn How to Play a Guitar, might start this fall! It depends on my grade and how things fall into place. I haven't gotten around to writing and scanning more of my goals but trust me there's more! Hopefully more that can be done in the near future.

I just added a new poll now, and it may not have the theme of 'Bucket Lists' but I wanted to know all of your opinions!!

If anyone has created their own list or ideas, leave a comment or if you know my Facebook, inbox me! I'm always looking for inspiration and ways to help.

The Flower List.


You're probably wondering why I call it that. Yes, I've gotten many questions about it before. But you see, the term "Bucket List" in my point of view is a stupid term. I mean, tell me, who thinks about buckets when they think of death! Now, you may ask me me, "Well who think's of flowers when they think of death?" But I have my own rational explanation.


I've unfortunately been to many funerals in my lifetime, which means many wakes since most people I know follow some form of Christianity. If you don't know what a wake is, it's held before a person's funeral, family and friends come to a funeral home and come to see the person who has died, the casket could be opened or not. That takes place maybe twice a day for two days. At most wakes, there are lots of flowers, the whole room starts to smell like a greenhouse! So, it may seem weird that that's the first thing I think of, but it works for me.


Just now, I Googled "where did the term bucket list come from", and I guess I'm not the only one wondering this, because it came up right away.


Here is what I got from WikiAnswers: someone contemplating suicide would place a rope around a rafter, place the noose around their neck and stand on a bucket. The bucket would then be kicked away and the person would hang until dead. hence the phrase "kick the bucket".


Now, I'm sorry as hard as life gets I never see suicide as an option! So thinking of flowers works much better for me! But, hey you learn something new everyday!


Some people have asked me what else is on The Flower List, well I'm going to post a picture of it that I scanned (thanks, EPSON!) right here... this isn't the end of it! It's going to be pages long soon! So I hope you like it, and maybe get some inspiration do to some crazy things. Also take note that "Be Able To Do a Split" is #4, sorry I didn't have that info for you yesterday!

I'll give you guys another picture every time I make a new page.
