Bucket Lists!

Bucket Lists!

I want to know what's on people's bucket lists. Mine is fairly ambitious. (But short.)

⃣ Publish a novel before age 16  

⃣ Meet a CBer--one that I really love/admire/have a meaningful connection with -or- have a CBer reunion

⃣ Meet Lindsey Stirling, J.K. Rowling, Emma Watson, Taylor Swift, Harrison Ford, or other

⃣ Learn a British accent

⃣ Get a YouTube account

⃣ Go to a Lindsey Stirling concert (YESSS!!!! I'M GOING TO HER CONCERT IN BOSTON IN NOVEMBER ON THE 17TH AT THE ORPHEUM THEATRE!!! *Freaks out*)

⃣ Learn to draw manga (This is a WIP here!)

Ugh, fear of heights. I'll never get over it myself, so there's no use putting it on my bucket list. I'm just overall timid, too.

You haven't seen leaves turn different colors in the fall?

...Well, I guess some people haven't seen snow... Just visit somewhere wet in October.

I live in Los Angeles. Here, the leaves just stay green all year... I have seen snow, though! It's just hard to visit places during the fall because there's school.

I know that this is probably the wrong place to put this. . . but . . . to continue our conversation from a while ago. . . do you maybe have a debate tournament coming up? Maybe on October 21?
