I don't really know...

Before my eighteenth birthday, I decided to make a list of a 101 things to do before I turned that age. During the process of finding what should be on said list, I stumbled accross the 'gimmeyourstuff' website and decided it would make for something interesting. So here I am. I don't know what I'll give, and I don't know what I'll get. That's the beauty of trying something new. I live in Alaska - the biggest thing we're known for is fish, I'd say. And maybe moose turd lipgloss. No joke. Hope to interest someone. Have a lovely day!
