25 Things I've Done While 25

Some people {not people I know} make lists of things they want to accomplish in the year between their birthdays. It's like a more personal resolutions list. I'm never good at keeping any sort of resolution, but I write things I want to work on down just so I can keep it in my brain. Being lazy and unwilling to accept change always rules out in the end though.

Next week is my birthday... and I can easily tell you 25 things I've done while I was 25! Because... I actually did them! I'm not trying to work towards anything. These things have been signed, sealed and delivered! They're mine!

1. Saw a movie by myself. Once. It was Midnight in Paris.
2. Quit my day job to focus on my comedy/acting/writing career.
3. Went to L.A. for the first time to visit Matt and Casey.
4. Lost my Blackberry.
5. Got an iPhone.
6. Eventually had said BlackBerry found and returned to me. Woops.
7. Started teaching improv classes.
8. Saw a Harry Potter movie in the theater for the very last time. {Laughed so hard I couldn't breathe during it because Mary dropped an empty can of nuts... which was then kicked down the row by a stranger.}
9. Officially joined the mainstage cast at IA.
