Who remembers the 99 Things list which did the rounds a few months back? I posted mine here and enjoyed it so I started trying to compile a new list: different things, different places, different ideas. It turns out that coming up with a whole new 99 was quite a bit harder than I expected. But you probably could have told me that if I'd thought to ask..
So, how about 49 instead? How many of these have you done/tried/avoided/run away from?
Seen The Terracotta Army in China
Cross stitched a sampler
Kept a friend for more than 20 years
Made your own jam
Seen the Crown Jewels in The Tower Of London
Attended a school reunion and enjoyed it
Kissed the Blarney Stone
Learned how to tap dance
Seen one of the Wonders Of The Ancient World
Ridden a tandem bicycle
Commissioned a piece of furniture
Sold for profit something you made yourself
Seen Sydney Opera House
Walked up the outside of a volcano
Met an idol
Found or sent a message in a bottle
Held a stranger's hand, just because they needed you
Thought you might have seen a ghost
Been caught speeding
Won a bet
Visited a penpal
Published a poem
Had your appendix removed
Pierced an interesting part of your body
Seen your name in lights
Had a handsome man buy you Champagne
Had tea at The Ritz
Found a peacock feather
Made a collection of more than 50 objects
Crossed The Equator
Partied through til breakfast
Found a fossil
Seen The Northern Lights
Built your own house
Started a Mexican Wave
Judged a competition
Flown in a hot air balloon
Spent too much money on something you've only worn once
Scored an own goal. Figuratively or otherwise
Appeared on live tv
Asked for your money back
Had your photo taken with someone famous
Grown your hair long enough to sit on
Been locked in somewhere overnight, or long enough for it to start getting scary
Found something valuable and made sure it was returned to its rightful owner
Taken part in some kind of endurance event or attempt
Driven from one end of your country to the other
Been publicly recognised for bravery or special community service
Gone out on the town in an outfit you've made entirely on your own

I have spent too much money on something I have NEVER worn - that is bad! I've also been stuck in a lift with 13 other teenage girls - for far longer than was necessary.
...mmmmm I'll get thinking and let you know :)You've got to show us a photo of you with long hair.
Yay, I was thinking about this only the other day, and wondering if you'd put your own list together yet! :-) Great to see your answers, and I will definitely give this a go xx
Only managed a poor 12 of them. Think Now if you had included more dressing up stuff, I would of done well!......fairy, american footballer, witch, ice queen, cinderella, willy wonka, pirate,.....
What a great list! I will have to play along soon. But one question, please... what is a Mexican wave??
Okay - I'm good for 29 of them! The one I want to do most and haven't yet is cross the equator. Favorites are #48: Loved being recognized for helping to get the local community public health center built. I still count that as one of my best accomplishments. And #44 DH and I got locked-in the University botanical gardens once when we were having a romantic evening picnic! I believe champagne was involved in that one, too.

Right there with ya on the too much money and wore once, maybe never. Gah. Fun post!
Love your list! I'll be posting it on my blog later hopefully, so pop over and see how alike we are this time!
Ooh this looks interesting. And good on you making your own list - if I remember rightly the other was quite Americanised wasn't it? Will be having a go at this at some point ;)
Well, I had a go, Sian! I don't think I managed quite half... I would like to cross the Equator and see the Northern Lights. We plan to go to Iceland one day, so I might manage the second of those anyway... and I have relatives who live in Aus. so maybe I'll manage both!

This sounds fun, will definately have a go x
What an interesting list will have to have a go at this
Catching up on my starred items in Google Reader. Well, I can lay claim to 3, 12, 22, 34 (if having it built for you counts),45 (a wallet) and 46 (the Breast Cancer 3 Day walk). Only six out of 49 - seems a pretty poor showing!
