I could not resist. + Funny little frog.


Hallo Ihr Lieben,

okay, I have seen this list so many times now and I am sure everybody is really sick of it by now so that means it is time to make mine. Haha. But yeah, I could not resist. I love making lists (okay I did not make this) so it was a lot of fun to work on this one.

1. Started your own blog  - yeah, I guess you can see it.
2. Slept under the stars - when I was a child I loved to sleep in the backyard. Does sleeping in a tent count too?
3. Played in a band  - haha. Well, I really played in a band. I played bass and the name of our band   was "ausverkauft" (sold out). Very clever, right?
4. Visited Hawaii - no, not yet but I would like to.
5. Watched a meteor shower - sounds interesting.
6. Given more than you can afford to charity - I always give money to homeless people with dogs but I have never given more than I own. I guess I am a bad person. 
7. Been to Disneyland  - I have been to Europapark in Germany. That's almost the same.
8. Climbed a mountain - I have been on a mountain but I did not climb it. Damn. 
9. Held a praying mantis -  No, actually I have never seen one in reality. How sad. 
10. Sang a solo - trust me. Nobody wants to hear that. I sing in the car when I am alone or when I play Singstar Take That with my friends. That's enough.
11. Bungee jumped - No, thank you. Maybe I would try skydiving but I am not really interested in Bungee Jumping.
12. Visited Paris  - Yeah, it is not that far away from my hometown. You can drive there in a couple of hours. Like that city a lot.
13. Watched a lightening storm  - I guess everybody has done that at least once. 
14. Taught yourself an art from scratch  - Hmm, I like to paint and draw so I just say that counts. 
15. Adopted a child - Do animals count? I adopted my bunnies and cats. 
16. Had food poisoning  - Oh yeah, when I was a child I ate some paella and got food poisoning. That was the first sign that told me to stop eating things like that.
18. Grown your own vegetables   - I love doing it. I have tried salad, tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, beans, etc.
19. Seen the Mona Lisa in France Yes, but only once. I have been on a class trip to Paris with my art class.
20. Slept on an overnight train - No, but I am sure it would be better than sleeping in a plane.
21. Had a pillow fight - Sure, that's what you do when you are a child.
22. Hitch hiked - No, my parents told me not to. But one time my Mom and me stopped for a hitch hiker because we thought we know him. We were wrong but we still gave him a ride.
23. Taken a sick day when you’re not ill The bunnies were sick so I had no other choice.
24. Built a snow fort - as a child.
25. Held a lamb - yes, one of my friends in Grundschule lived on a farm.
26. Gone skinny dipping - No, I don't like cold water.
27. Run a Marathon - Would be interesting.
28. Ridden in a gondola in Venice - Yes and I thought I'd die because I am so scared of deep water.


29. Seen a total eclipse - In 2000 the sun was completely covered by the moon. It was so cool because it got dark in the afternoon.
30. Watched a sunrise or sunset - I guess it is complicated to avoid this.
31. Hit a home run - Baseball? Don't even understand the rules.
32. Been on a cruise - No, but I like to watch Das Traumschiff.
33. Seen Niagara Falls in person - Hopefully I can see it someday.
34. Visited the birthplace of your ancestors - I would like to see the place my Grandma grew up. She is from Czech Republic. 
35. Seen an Amish community - I see Amish people at the grocery store all the time but I have never seen where they live.
36. Taught yourself a new language - I don't know. I mean, I have learned some at school but I have also taught myself a lot. So I don't know. 
37. Had enough money to be truly satisfied - No, come on. Haha. I need more. 
38. Seen the Leaning Tower of Pisa in person - From far away but that still counts.
39. Gone rock climbing - I would like to.
40. Seen Michelangelo’s David    Yeah, my best friend Julia lived in Florence for a while.
41. Sung karaoke Yes, lots of times. I am really bad. 
42. Seen Old Faithful geyser erupt - No, but it would be great. I also want to see the geysers in Iceland.
43. Bought a stranger a meal at a restaurant - Hmm, not in a restaurant but I bought food for a homeless person. Does that count?
44. Visited Africa - Someday...
45. Walked on a beach by moonlight  at the North Sea.
46. Been transported in an ambulance - Surprisingly not.

My song of the day:
Belle & Sebastian, "Funny little frog"

    1. That is soooo cool! My Grandma is from Sudetenland too! :) What town is your Grandpa from? Maybe they knew each other? :)

      Haha, I have met "Ute" from Unter Uns and a guy from "Alphateam" (German Emergency Room, hehe.). So very famous people. :))

      Yeah, that's a long story. :) But I wasn't the "bad guy". I'll tell you!

  9. This was interesting. I couldn't resist either and filled it out as I was reading yours. I want to add some pics and am way too tired for that tonight so maybe I'll put it up tomorrow. Oh the skinny dipping...you know you could do it in warm water right? lol. If you're not comfortable to is totally fine but the time I did it was in FL where the water was quite warm. I doubt I'd have done it otherwise for the same reason.

  10. That's great! I can't wait to read yours!
    Yeah, I know that i can do it in warm water. :) But most water is too cold for me. Plus I don't like water that is deeper than 1,50 meters. :)

  11. I have to do this now, I love lists! You're so lucky to have seen so many cool things in Europe, but I think even if I went there I wouldn't be able to go on the gondola. I'd be scared witless.
