Bucket List... Revisited

Remember this post? In the past 3.5 years, I've thought about that list quite a bit. Wondering, "Have I done much of my list?"

Ladies and Gentlefellows: I present answers. (SPOILER: I've basically done nothing.) See my updates in (shocking) PINK!

Anything I didn't update was either because it was a.) too depressing that I haven't done it yet, or b.) too stupid that I can't believe I ever thought of it in the first place.
