Birthday....


 I missed the stage of life where you write a list of things to do before you turn 30. That means I just have to write 30 things I have done before I was 30...
It is probably good that I missed that stage since most of the things I would have written would not have matched with what I really did:) I tried to think of the weird, crazy, and unique things that I have done...
