The Taylor Swift Bucket List.

General consensus is T-swift is cray. But I'd put money down that her cray cray self gets into a lot of fun, and she's got a lot of good stories that don't make it to the paper stands.  In some ways she's living out every twenty-something's dream: playing in big cities, having lots of romances, singing through life like it's a musical.  And unhealthy dating patterns aside, she's got some enticing ideas.  So, if you ever are in the mood to create a bucket list, here are Taylor Swift tested ideas to include.  See if you approve.

1. Eat breakfast at midnight.
2. Wear T-shirts with no shame.
3. Visit someone in the a.m.
4. Hang out on park benches.
5. Wear a football helmet during an disagreement.
6. Dance in the pouring rain.
7. Write a song for someone.
8. Drive a pick up truck.
9. Crash a wedding. 
10. Pull an all nighter that doesn't include the library. 
11. Dance in the parking lot.
12. Stay up late on the phone.
13. Always, always call shotgun.
14. Try a new scene.

15. Whatever you do, do it FEARLESS.  

Alternate Ending: How I Met Your Mother

Ted Mosby is officially the longest story teller ever. He was cute, adorable, and a wonderful hopeless romantic.  Repeat: he was.  Loyal fans know that Ted has hit rock bottom.  And fans that quit when he started getting desperate have heard this from others and have no intention of starting to watch again.  Dearest Ted, this could have been avoided.  And as someone who has personal experience expressing interest in the same person multiple times: things. won't. change.

So real life Teds (myself included), if you are into someone and they want to be friends, don't. Making new friends takes a lot of work.  If you are friends pre-confession... I'll plead the fifth.

If I had my way HIMYM would have been one season and gone like this:

Ted:  You’re right, there’s no off switch. God I wish there was an off switch.

Robin: me too.

Ted: So....

Robin: we could be friends 

Ted: Oh, ouch

Robin: look, I know it sounds insincere when people say that but… we could.

Ted: I don’t know, Robin. I made such a jackass out of myself here, every time we start hanging out it’ll be like, “Oh—that’s right—I’m a jackass.”

Robin: You’re not a jackass. I’m sorry. I only moved here in April and I’m always working and—I just haven’t met a lot of good people so far. But I understand.

Ted: Well—uh—maybe in a few months after it’s not so fresh, we could all—uh…you know, get a beer.

Robin: yeah. That sounds good. I’ll see you, Ted.

Two months later Ted meets the future Mrs. Mosby because he isn't hung up on something that will never work.  Robin meets Barney about six months later when she by chance goes to MacLaren's with some co-workers.  After an STD check, Robin agrees to date him and they live happily ever after.

And all of their lives were Legen---wait only a few episodes later----dary.
