Number 1: Make Up An Alias

Have you ever been out a bar and started receiving some very unwanted attention? It's usually from someone waaaay to drunk to even be stringing a coherent sentence together like this guy:

Or someone decidedly creepy (preferably minus the hair doll) like this guy:

ANYWAYS!!! Regardless of the situation, you are CORNERED without a friend in sight to save you. This guy (or girl - I'm not saying women can't be creepy) starts chatting you up and asking you asinine questions which include, "What's your name?" What would you do? Well, I'll tell you what I do. Whenever I'm in a situation like this I become (DA, DA, DAHHH!) ALISHA. Alisha is a recent graduate of Boston University, hailing from New Jersey, and is (of all things) an actress/waitress. She enjoys margaritas and long walks on the beach and IS ALWAYS LEAVING. (Side note: This is the key ingredient for those of you wanting to try this at home - always be leaving the bar. Even if you're just on your way back from the bathroom. It's the easiest way out of a conversation with an unwanted suitor. That and, "Sorry, I'm trying to find my boyfriend!" But even then, sometimes they try and help you and then things just get messy. Especially if you're out with your girlfriends.) Anyways, Alisha makes a lot of friends at bars but she meets them quickly and then mosies on her way. She's also an excellent wing woman, should you ever need one. Oh - and if anyone ever doubts that Alisha is my actual name? BAM! Right there on my wrist courtesy of my lovely roommate.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, has been a lesson in making up an alias. Any questions?

Number 26: Go Skydiving, Part 1

Greetings Fellow Adventurers!!

Thanks for the feedback that I've been getting about starting this blog. I know that a lot of you are saying "how the f*&$ is she going to do some of this stuff?" Well, I'm trying to do AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE and maybe molding a few to my lifestyle. Plus, I've already accomplished some of them, so there's that. But some of the items, I really am dead set on accomplishing. And here goes my baby steps towards one that SCARES ME WORSE THAN MOST THINGS IN MY LIFE (read: Canadian geese, things with tentacles dragging me under water, life without chocolate, etc.) This item is, drumroll please...

SKYDIVING.

So, as a firm believer in fate, when Groupon announced a skydiving deal this morning in my inbox, I said to myself, "Self, this is the perfect opportunity to capitalize on this deal. You should do it." So I bought it. Today was the first step in my skydiving adventure. I was thinking though, those of you who are reading my blog, are you reading because you like hearing about my adventures or because a part of you wants to adventure as well? Is this calling to you too? JOIN ME. The Groupon link is listed below. Buy it. I dare you.
