Day 9: Things You Will Never Do Before You Die

Was meant to go to band practice on Day 9, Saturday. But this never happened, because, I'll admit it, I was just feeling super lazy. I felt really bad about not going, but seeing as I was up until 4 the previous night and was tired of arguing during band practice, I felt I just needed a day in to relax. And be lazy. Besides, the weather was INSANE outside, so I really couldn't be bothered to keep having to trundle through the snow. It's getting really boring, snow, bugger off now!

Fortunately, today's task catered to the lazy too! All I had to do was tick off the things I would never do, from a list of about three-hundred-and-something. Which was the worst part, it took a while to get through. But probably not quite as long as this will take to get through, if I decide to finish it. That's right. I'm gonna list EVERYTHING. I would just upload my photo of the page, but it's unreadable. So I'm actually gonna do this. Help me.

Jesus Christ, I am finally done! *GASP* If anybody read all of that, I will personally buy you a Refreshers bar, because I am addicted to them at the moment, and you deserve one more than I do! I dunno why I did all that, but I figured it wouldn't make for a very interesting blog if I didn't. It didn't make for an interesting blog anyway, but we'll ignore that... Also, there are probably a few mistakes in there in regards to where some things are listed, but I honestly don't care at this point! I'm just glad it's over!

Also, in regards to some of the stuff I claimed I will never do, but actually might, or vice versa, I have to come back to my moral (if you can call it that) for yesterday - YOU CAN JUST NEVER KNOW!
