I did not watch the Bucket List. So, in honor of that, I present to you-
“Sheryll’s Funky List of Things She Wants to Do/Learn… Eventually”
1. Learn to cook regular food… after all, man does not live on cookies alone.
2. Figure out how to wear a dupatta. My dupatta and I are like Oscar Wilde and the wallpaper in the room he died in– One of us has to go.
3. Learn all that I can about cars so that I’ll never get ripped off by another mechanic again! Right now, all I know is that the left wheel’s connected to the tail bone, and the battery’s connected to the femur. Wait. No. Huh?
4. Learn to play the guitar. Who knows? I might become the next Steve Vai, or the next Sid Vicious, or… Nancy.
5. Learn basic DIY skills and be able to fix things around the house… just to be able to say ‘Can I fix it? Yes I can!!’ (Bob the builder’s my hero.)
6. Learn to be competitive about things that matter, like my career and volleyball, instead of at things like charades and impromptu ‘walk-races’ with unsuspecting strangers.
7. Learn to not get monster annoyed when people call me ‘that girl’.
8. Learn to ride a bike. How awesomely bad-ass would I be then??
9. Learn to ride a bicycle. Yes. Yes. I am ashamed. But I was afraid of bicycles as a child. My brother tried to run me over with my tricycle when I was 4. I was so traumatized. OK, so it was just my toe. I’m sensitive ok? I’m a delicate lady and if you don’t agree with me, I’ll beat you to death with my pretty pink parasol.
10. Learn to walk like a girl. I’ve been told that I walk like a man. And not a very attractive one at that. Hmph. With family like this, who needs therapy? *slowly raises hand*
In other news, my darlingest baby sister, Shivonne, turned 21 this month. Ah Shivy, my voice of sartorial reason, I’d be running off to work in my jammies if it weren’t for you. At the risk of sounding totally Juno, you’re the cheese to my macaroni, the mavvadikaya to my pappu-korra (Hey, we’re Telugu. Get over it.) You’ve always been there for me even though I constantly embarrass you with my super-cool car dance moves. And after all this time, there’s only one question I want to ask you – What IS that strange ticking noise?

Ah, the impromptu walk races with strangers. It's hard not to be competetive.
Cant resist:
1. Impossible. I pity your future hubby.
2. Hey, I can teach you! How does it go? The right hand over the left hand....
(BTW, there was no wall paper in the 'room' where Oscar Wilde died..He died while walking down a street in Paris of meningitis on Nov 30th 1900)
3. We're talking about cars here, not your anatomy..Sheesh!
4. Hmm..I suggest the drums - for obvious reasons..
5. Neva!! Your motto is "Can I break it? Yes I can! (And if I can't, I'll find someone to do it for me)
6. So you were actually trying to 'race' with unsuspecting strangers? I always thought you were just trying to catch up..
7. No worries there..they never do!
8. You are already as bad-ass ass can be..;)
9. I did NOT!!! I was just pushing your tricycle around and you ran in front of it. And you were 2 not 4. LIAR!!!
10. No wonder why I emigrated to Ireland. HAHAHA!
What!? When did my sis turn 21? (Oops..sent her a happy 16th birthday card..please convey my apologies..)
Dearly beloved, how much I love thee for loving me. (and for making me famous by talking about me in thy blog-eth.)
I very much loved #2, #4 and #10 FYI.
And SHERYYY BABY!! With friends like you, who'd eat anemones?
Note: The strange ticking noise would be the lack of an audience to my sit-down comedy. ( I don't like the exercise.)
Louw you as valways! (chee..sounds duhhtty no?)
Ive never seen your pretty pink parasol.
"FAIL"
@Rebel
You know it!
@Shivy

@Tanisha
It's carefully hidden. I only use it to beat people up. No one who's seen it, has survived.
@Sunnyanna (Sam)
1. Pity? Gasp!
2. I meant the last room he lived in. It was at the Hôtel d'Alsace in Paris.
3. Wait... humans have left wheels?
4. You know me so well.
5. Break it, fix it, what's the diff?
6. Dammit. Our little secret?
7. I thought so.
8. Anna, are you slandering my kundi?
9. Oh yeah, that's MUCH better.
10. Annaannaanna I come visit?
You forgot Tuta's age?? Oh well, stuff like that tends to happen when you're 50. We still love you anna!
P.S. About you knowing how to wear a dupatta. Mama wants you to call her.

@Judy
Come to maa aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrmmms!!
Left wheel connected to the tailbone? You drove up someone's backside!!
I walk like a man too I guess. When people say "walk gracefully", I always ask, "does gracefully mean slow?". It's wacky.
dupatta ....hate tht thing too!!!
lets start a protest on the streets
Could you teach me to walk like a man?
LOL * 5. Yeah, that's how many times I laughed when I read your post.
Didn't know you played volleyball. We should play someday. I used to be good in school and when all other games fail me, volleyball becomes my forte :)
