Let's see, before 30 you say...

13 - tick
(mostly because I hardly went anywhere, like out)
14 - vaguely, yes

2 outa 30 ain't bad.

Ha! I have no realistic way of achieving #13 while doing the rest of the list, I'm afraid.

It's a pretty specific list, isn't it? I looked up lots of other 30 before 30 lists actually, which had suggestions like 'Make a bet you couldn't afford to lose' and 'Play an elaborate practical joke on someone'; things I wasn't that interested in!
