30 Before I Turn 30

I was going to wait until tomorrow to post this, but I'm just too darn excited about it!  I came up with this idea that is EPIC!  Some of you may have read about this particular stroke of brilliance on Facebook.  I have 8 months from tomorrow until I turn 30.  And since this last birthday(and the one before that and the one before that and the one before that and the one...) pretty much BLEW CHUNKS, I decided to take matters into my own hands.  I have big plans for the next 8 months...

30 Things to do Before I Turn 30
(In no particular order)

1. Go Camping (it's been a while since I've been and I miss it...this trip should also include fishing because I like that too)
2. Get rid of my Data Plan (I don't have enough self-control to stay off Facebook and other soul-sucking things)
3. Go ice skating(I don't think I've been since I was 12)
4. Attend a yoga class
5. Get a spray tan (I've never been tanning- fake baking or spray tanning)
6. Eat Eggs (my mom doesn't like eggs so I've never really eaten them...but I should probably at least try them before I turn 30)
7. Compose a piece of music (It's been far too long and I'm feeling inspired)
8. Visit a State I've never been to
9. Stay up all night (it's been a long time since I've pulled an all nighter...but I think I'm up to the challenge)
10. Get a massage (Never had one...but I want one)
11. Learn to swim (laugh all you want...I doggie paddle...but I mean business now)
12. Kiss in the rain (there's a lot of back story to this one and I'm not going to explain it)
13. Brush up on my French (That would be the language...in case you're confused)
14. Take a tap class (I can tap, but I've never really taken a class.  I'd like to take a ballroom dance class...but it's awkward when you go to those by yourself.)
15. Be able to do the splits (I'm actually getting really close...how many 30 year olds do you know that can do the splits?)
16. Watch 5 movies everyone quotes but I've never seen (there's more than 5, but I need to start somewhere)
17. Read 5 "Classics" (Cuz I want to feel literate)
18. Make 6 new recipes (I love to cook)
19. Learn a new car-related skill (as a single woman, I really should know more than I do)
20. Learn a new handy man skill (If I knew how to fix things I wouldn't have to sit on my washer during the spin cycle...on the down side...How do I coerce guys to my house if I know how to fix things?)
21. Learn a new computer skill (I'm pretty tech savvy...but I'm a nerd)
22. Go on a spontaneous trip
23. Make a 72 hour kit (cuz, you know, I should be prepared)
24. Wear a bikini (I never have and I if I'm ever going to, shouldn't it be before I'm 30...plus I'm working out and looking pretty hot right now)
25. Memorize 2 piano pieces (I don't memorize as much anymore...and I really should)
26. Try new dishes at restaurants (I have a tendency to just order the same thing every time)
27. Do something I've been too scared to do (I don't have anything specific in mind)
28. Go to a foreign Country
29. Get a stamp in my passport (I've had one for 4 years dang it!)
30. Have the perfect kiss (thank you FRIENDS for this idea)

Now, I'm already working on a few and there are even some I can check off already.  But if you're willing to help me with any of these things, I'd really appreciate it!  But I think it's all totally doable in the next 8 months!
