Sunday Social

I'm linking up for Sunday Social again! This week's theme is "Never Have I Ever"-type questions!

1. What is one movie you are terrified to watch? I'm a really big baby. I HATE scary movies. I can't even watch the trailers for them. I'll mute the TV, change the channel, close my eyes, etc to avoid them at home. If I'm at the movie theater I either get on my phone one last time before the movie actually starts or I stare at whatever treat I'm enjoying. I hate scary movies.

2. What is one TV show you have always wanted to get into but haven't yet? Dr. Who, but thanks to Lindsay I've seen the first two episodes. She gave me fair warning that it took her 6 or 7 episodes to get into, but I can see from the two I've seen that it has definite potential. I'm excited to watch more. I've also heard wonderful things about Downton Abbey. The things is, I already watch a TON of TV shows, it's kind of ridiculous. That's what deters me from starting anything else new.

The Ninth Doctor and the TARDIS

3. What is one daring activity on your bucket list? You can see my Bucket List here, but that most daring thing on it at the moment is to go parasailing. I'm slightly afraid of heights, but people make it sound like a blast!

4. Would you ever travel alone? I guess I have already. My senior year of high school I flew from KC, MO back to Love Field in Dallas by myself on New Year's Eve so I could celebrate my last high school NYE with my high school friends. I've also driven seven hours to camp by myself about four times. I don't think I'd want to go on vacation or something by myself though. I'm already an only child and tend to get bored just by myself. Plus vacations are more fun with people anyway (unless that's a family cruise with your step-sisters in the smallest, interior room known to man - word of advice: never share an interior room on a cruise with two other females).

5. What activities do you like to do alone? Nap. One day I'm sure Nappy will want to cuddle, but for now he's a no-cuddle, no-nonsense pup when it comes to sleep. Plus I like to sleep at a diagonal in my bed (anyone else do this?). Real activities though? Seeing movies (especially sad movies) all by my lonesome isn't too bad - I've become quite the solo movie pro since graduating from college.


Are you linking up for Social Sunday?

Flash Mob Envy

So, last year I blogged about my friend Tim's single, "We Fight Back," written for the awesome Frogs for the Cure game TCU puts on every year. Well, this year, they did a flash mob. And if you've read my bucket list, it's right up there at the top. I wish I could say I went to one of the practices and made it into the Flash Mob yesterday when the filmed it, but the puppy anchors me to the house (not that I'm complaining - I love little Napster) and I couldn't just put him up and say, "Sorry, going to a flash mob."

Anyway, here's the dance they did. I'm insanely jealous of everyone who went. Rumor (and pictures on FB and Twitter) has it that Mark Cuban, Pat Green, and even Tim himself were all there. And apparently a Lady Gaga look-alike.


TCU Magazine's FB page has video from yesterday's event and I got chills. It looks awesome and again, I'm insanely jealous.

Bucket List

You may have noticed, I added a new page to my blog! I talked about starting a bucket list earlier, but I didn't want to do it in a post that I'd have to continually update and then it'd be awkwardly in some random place, blah blah blah. Then I discovered my ability to start PAGES on this fancy blog. I feel accomplished, even though my bucket list currently only has 3 things on it and one is a short term goal (adopt a tri-color corgi).

So, readers, I'm asking you for help: if you know me, what are some things you think I should do in my lifetime (that I'll actually do haha), and those of you out there that come across GrownUpLand, shoot me some ideas of what something(s) on your bucket list is/are.

I like comments. A lot.
