I got into my car, Sure to get home in one piece, I never knew what was coming, Mom Something I expected least. Now I'm lying on the pavement, And I hear the policeman say, The kid that caused this wreck was drunk, Mom, his voice seems far away. My own blood's all around me, As I try hard not to cry.

(Simple enough.... bold the ones you've done, non-bold the ones you want to!) Bought everyone in the pub a drink Swam with wild dolphins Climbed a mountain Taken a Ferrari for a test drive.... ooh, so want to do this! Been inside the Great Pyramid Held a tarantula (not a tarantula but chameleon) Taken a candlelit bath with someone Said 'I love you' and meant it Hugged a tree Done a striptease (durin hostel ragging) Bungee jumped Visited Paris Watched a lightning storm at sea Stayed up all night long, and watch the sun rise Seen the Northern Lights Gone to a huge sports game Walked the stairs to the top of the leaning Tower of Pisa Grown and eaten your own vegetables Touched an iceberg Slept under the stars Seen the Himalayas from one foot away Taken a trip in a hot air balloon Watched a meteor shower Gotten drunk on champagne Given more than you can afford to charity Looked up at the night sky through a telescope Had an uncontrollable giggling fit at the worst possible mome...
