10 Bucket List Items: Expired

Top 10 Bucket List Items I am Too Old to Complete...

10. Bat Girl-No I am not talking about someone related to Batman.  I always wanted to be a bat girl for the Cleveland Indians MLB team.  You know retrieve the baseball bats after being used. I did worry that I might drift away dreaming about which player was the cutest and then forget to actually do my job, but I guess that isn't a worry now.

9. Dance Aficionado- Let's face it if you want to be a REAL dancer (whatever that means) you better figure it out in the womb.  If you don't start doing that stuff straight out the gate, you are not going to make a living at it. Fail. I've got moves ;)

8. Olympic Gymnast- I didn't want to do the typical gymnastics. I want to do the kind with the props. You know rhythmic gymnastics. I like those ribbons, the hula hoop, bowling pins, and you still get to do the best of the artistic gymnastics...the floor exercise! I would do my routines to all kinds of songs like music from the soundtrack "Save the Last Dance," Misty Edwards, and maybe some Sir Mix A Lot. Like I mentioned earlier...I've got moves ;)

7. Vacation Bible School- Nope I never got to go to VBS, as the cool kids call it. Instead I went to Catholic overnight camp. Jealous? You should be. We did awesome stuff like jump in a mud pit as a cabin and enjoyed public humiliation for not being able to climb "the wall." Life building stuff that you do at every camp...right? Vacation Bible School sounds basically like the same thing just without the sleeping out in the woods among complete strangers miles from civilization.

6. Youngest person to get an Oscar- I don't know who that person officially is because Wikipedia has failed me. The thing I do know is that it was a kid and I am no longer a kid. Some day maybe I will get an Oscar, whether it is in statue form or a Mexican man or the grouch.  Either way I will not be the youngest to achieve this goal. 

5. Disney Star- I love to dance, sing, act drama/comedic, etc all these things you get to do as a Disney star in a safe environment. Now obviously not everything post Disney career is so safe, but it sure is a great training ground to be a quadruple threat.  So what if you also become a menace to society, a drug addict, or end up in rehab. Well, maybe it is good I missed this one. Remember though...I've got moves ;)

4. Miss America- I wanted to be the first Miss America to do comedy for her talent. I did not exactly make it to the Miss America pageant. No I did not miss the limo that was supposed to pick me up. I only made it to the competing level of Miss Family Room. A title that just doesn't quite live up to Miss America. 

3. High School Cheerleader- I went to an all girls school so....

2. Mousketeer- Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Ryan Gosling....talent + training = AMAZING PERFORMING ARTIST! That Disney cruise ship has sailed. For more info see #5

1. Cirque du Soleil- These artists are breathtaking. They can take you on a journey you did not know you could take.  Basically to become an artist in this troupe you must grow up in the circus, dedicate every waking moment to safety and danger, live with ACTUAL animals not family members that seem like animals. Seeing the show is basically like being in it...I will have to do that soon.
