BioBlog Experiment: Can one boring scientist (Jordan) and one boring librarian (Emily) become more interesting people by completing a year’s worth of crazy, scary, and just plain new adventures?
How the Blog Works: For the entire year of 2009, one or both of us will be completing at least one new adventure a week. It might be something that scares us (or both of us), it might be something new, it might be an ancient culture or custom we wanted to try, or might be something from Emily’s Things I Want to Do Before I Die list she created in high school. From skydiving (we’ll see if we can face that much fear in a year) to polar bear diving, sticking a tongue on a pole, or eating exotic food only seen on Survivor and the Amazing Race.
Whatever it is, we will also share it with you and let you know if you should try it yourselves. You can laugh with us (or at us—we aren’t picky), you can try it too, or you can think us stupid for thinking about doing the adventure in the first place. Whatever you choose, we will be here all year try to improve ourselves and our lives together one adventure at a time!
Our Top 5 Reasons for Doing this Blog:
1.) To give our family a reason the next time they ask, “Hey, you guys have been married 8 years. Why haven’t you had kids, already?”
2.) To have an excuse to do crazy things.
3.) And then when people look at us very strangely for doing said crazy things, we can laugh it off and say “Oh, it’s for a blog experiment.”
4.) Because we will NEVER do any of this stuff if we don’t blog about it, and…
5.) We are sick of coming home to watch television every night, forgetting our dreams, and watching life pass us by. So we’ve decided to do something about it!
