40 days to 30

Found this on an Australian blog. It's a decent list. Let's see what I need to do in the next 40 days...

30 things to try before you turn 30

1.Channel an old school movie and throw a drink in a man's face. Done
2.Delete the words “like, random and totally” from your vocab. Will try
3.Break someone’s heart; similarly, have your own broken. Done
4.Divorce toxic friends. Have done and getting better at it
5.Drink a champagne cocktail in a Paris bar. Isn't the fact that I've been to Paris good enough?
6.Master the art of choosing the perfect wine. Done
7.Confess that (present or past) crush on your best male friend. Well shit I guess I need to do this. This requires some brain power.
8.Drive a wickedly cool car, even if you have to rent it. I think test driving a GT-R counts
9.Use an alias for a day. I use the name Brittney at bars sometimes when I don't care to give my real name. Brittney because I couldn't look more opposite than a Brittney and I like the juxtaposition.
10.Visit a strip club. Done (female, duh)
11.Have a favourite book which isn’t chick-lit. Done
12.Quit a job, without having another one to go to. I seriously contemplated this a week ago. But it ain't happening, unless by miracle I suddenly come into a large sum of money in the next 40 days. And by large I mean shitloads.
13.Buy a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill and a black-lace bra. That last one- will need to do. This is the year of new bras after all.
14.Learn who you can trust, who you can’t and why you shouldn’t take it personally. I need to learn not to take it personally.
15.Live by yourself (for at least six months). DONE and doing it again.
16.Travel somewhere by yourself – a foreign country, another city or just a road trip to the country. The move to college and LA subsequently was pretty isolating and I did it alone. I consider it done.
17.Forgive someone who wronged you; apologise to someone you've wronged. Hmm, thinking.
18.Master cooking one impressive three-course meal. Adding to the list.
19.Learn to change a tyre. My dad showed me once, does that count? I know how to dial AAA.
20.Buy an original piece of art. I've been meaning to do this! I guess now is the time. See how I need that job to afford these goals?
21.Volunteer for a charity you care about. I want to do this
22.Break-up with a man who you know is bad for you; similarly, have a fling with a man who you know is bad for you! Done
23.Dine solo in a restaurant – no phone, book or notebook allowed. I do this all the time
24.Run a marathon. Sorry, not happening. How about a 5K?
25.Pay off your credit card(s)/HECS debt/car loan. Okay.
26.Spend a whole pay packet on a pair of shoes. That would be so retardedly awesome. I could get myself a pair of Loboutins. Yeah right.
27.Have a killer joke you tell perfectly ready to use for those awkward moments. Will work on this.
28.Try something you always said you’d never do – whether it be sky-driving or eating escargot. Rollercoaster? Yeah, it needs to be done.
29.Learn how to stand up for yourself, rather than silently seething when you receive poor customer service or someone makes a snide remark. Getting better at this.
30.Have a one-night stand (or more than one). Done and done.
