Except for #24, I don't see why I shouldn't complete this list! (I'm really indecisive, so not sure I should get anything permanently inked on my body.) However, I will allow myself to edit this list until my 30th birthday. Only if something in my life significantly changes and something on the list becomes unreasonable.

Also, in a strange coincidence, I looked at the last 101 Things To Do in 1,001 Days list that I made ... today [6/24/10] was day 1,001! Weird. I did not finish the list. I don't even think I got half way through it. One of the items was "buy a house or townhouse or condo." HA! Good one. So I tried to make my 30 list all things I can reasonably attain, and don't require significant financial expectations that I may or may not achieve.
