Making lists

I saw this on another blog today, and thought it was a bit of fun.

This is the Aussie version of this list. The idea is that you copy the list and bold all the things you've done - and of course unbold those that you haven't. I have chosen to colour the things I haven't done in RED, for the sake of clarity.

1. Started your own blog.
2. Slept under the stars.
3. Played in a band.

8. Climbed a mountain.
9. Held a praying mantis.
