you guys all know Metalia, right? Well, not only is she a good friend online and in real life, but she’s a fellow member of the tribe and sends me hilarious things like Ashley Madison for Jews sites where unhappily married people like Shprintzagrl look for screwing partners who “have long curly peyos tucked behind their ears and wear large tzitzit and are large in other areas as well. wink wink” EW. yes, I was uncomfortable reading it too. but, alas, could not bring myself to turn away.

anyway, the point. yes. it was here somewhere..

Oh! Yesterday, Metalia, like the great Michael Ian Black before her, came up with her very own F*ck It List. as in, the ANTI bucket list. As in the

Things I DO NOT need to do before I die:

Swim with sharks
Wear spanx
Drink tea
Watch an episode of 24
Finish reading The English Patient
Backpack through Europe
Go on a cruise
Eat olives. Or seafood. Or fondue. or fruit salad.
Bungee jump
Climb anything for fun
Learn to surf. Swim in the ocean.
Go clubbing and dance in public
See another Shia LaBeouf movie
Grow a vegetable garden; or do any kind of gardening actually
Learn to change a tire
Stay overnight at an ice hotel.
Get anything pierced other than my ears; get a tramp stamp.
Learn to play the guitar
Learn another language
Play World of Warcraft
Wear anything that has been bedazzled. Or wear mom jeans.
Get a pedicure. Or a fake tan.
Buy a snuggie
Go to a Nickelback concert
Enter an eating contest
Have sex on the beach. or drink a sex on the beach.
Cut carbs
Buy the world a coke.

and one more for good measure:

Make an actual bucket list.

in other news…i now, thanks to the wonderfully patient and wonderfully talented dasBecca, have my very own review site. see the new badge in my sidebar? Well, you can click over to my review site…that has NO reviews on it yet. TA-DA! awesome, i know. but, it’s there. and now you know about it. and knowing is half the battle. GI JOE taught me that.

  1. So the question is, should I list the things in your list that I’ve already done, or agree with the ones that we share?

  2. There is an Ashley Madison service for Jews!!! How did I not know this??? THANK YOU for starting off the best weekend ever.

  3. Spanx and cruises are wonderful!! You have no idea what you’re missing. I’m with you on the other things though.

  4. NEWMOM –

    i won’t wear spanx because they don’t work for me. i’ve tried them and they do NOTHING.

    and i won’t go on a cruise because i am terrified of being sick. i don’t think emetophobes go on cruises. heh.

  5. Her list inspired me too (I’m working on it) and this one of your proves that we have too much in common.

    I told her that I can’t swear on my site so she suggested calling it a “chuck it” list. I may also call it a “suck it” list. Heh.

  7. Spanx are the biggest ripoff ever to be promoted by Oprah.

    Dang Oprah.

  8. For the love of… Why?!? How?!? How is it possible you make me love you more and more every day?!? You, too, have a soft spot for Michael Ian Black, too?!? Come here and let me stop using excessive punctuation and just let me hug you!!! (whoops…those last three slipped out)

  9. the fact that you added “go to a Nickelback concert” to your F*ck It List makes me love you even more.

    Comment by hillary on April 3, 2009
  10. I now have more reasons to love you, if that were even possible!

    I do not WANT or NEED to go bungee jumping or climb things for fun. I have no desire to do any Road Rules-y type stuff. Ever.

  11. I’m sorry – did you just say you’ve never had a pedicure?!?!?!?!??!

    Comment by Miss Britt on April 3, 2009
  12. I’m with you on the Nickelback thing, but to not swim in the ocean? Ever?

  14. Nickelback… ~shudder~

    Comment by Chantal on April 3, 2009
  15. I swam with sharks yet AGAIN last week–and this from the girl who STILL can’t look at a picture of them without hyperventilating.

  16. Thank god there’s someone else out there who refuses to give into spanx. Sure they give you a prettier figure, but at the cost of being encased in unbreathable spandex? No thank you. I’d rather be chubby and comfortable than slender and sticky.

    Comment by MonsteRawr on April 3, 2009
  17. HAHA. I’m still laughing about the site. I’m so glad I had you to share it with!

    And, yeah. Again, we’re twins. (English Patient! Clubbing! Fruit salad!) Well, with the exception of tea, olives (I love me some green ones) and pedicures. But we’re still cool, right? 🙂

    Comment by metalia on April 3, 2009
  18. HAHAHA, the last one is my favorite. and p.s. I happen to love spanx. This list was brilliant. lol.

  19. Am I the only one to notice “drink tea.” You have never had tea?

    Comment by Neil on April 3, 2009
  20. Send me the link for that special Ashley Madison site pleeeeease.

    And don’t knock a snuggie until you’ve tried it – it hides a multitude of sins and other people.

    Comment by katie ~ motherbumper on April 4, 2009
  21. I love that you said “get a pedicure.” Sometimes I think I get them because I’m SUPPOSED to enjoy them when, really, I can paint my own toenails and I won’t charge myself upwards of $30.

  22. What’s wrong with fruit salad? Did it make you cry as a baby?

    Nice list!
