The List

One, go on a search for as many good climbing trees as possible, climb as high as you both can in all of them, compile photo evidence.

Two, go to a major chain bookstore, and leave notes to future readers in copies of your favourite books.

Three, have her dressed up as a ghost and you dress up as Paceman. Walk around town holding hands and, whenever anyone sees you two, pretend to be embarrassed and run off screaming “wocka wocka wocka”.

Four, create photo evidence suggesting that you went on an adventure that didn’t really happen.

Five, dress up as superheroes and stop at least one petty crime, for example; littering, jay walking.

Six, build forts out of furniture and blankets and wage war on each other with paper airplanes.

Seven, try and visit as many people as you can in one night, and turn as many things as you can inside their home up-side-down without them noticing.

Eight, go to the bus station, get the cheapest, soonest departing bus to anywhere and stay there for a weekend.

Nine, write a story together, outside at a café, and ask strangers when you get stuck.

Ten, dress to the nines, pretend to be married, and test drive very expensive vehicles at an auto dealership.

Eleven, do the lamest tourist thing in your area that you have both secretly wanted to do forever. Have an unabashed good time.

Twelve, in the middle of the night, drive to the beach, so you arrive just as the sun is rising. Have a breakfast picnic, and then fall asleep together.

Thirteen, drive somewhere unknown and have dinner in a city you’ve never been to. Use fake names.

Fourteen, go to the football game under the stars. Tell each other stories about how bad you are at sports. Randomly cheer for both teams. Eat lots of Jatz.

Fifteen, go around the city with chalk and draw hearts with equations inside on random things.

Sixteen, walk around the city and perform short silent plays in front of security cameras.

Seventeen, with a camera and a pair of boots, make a photo log of a day in the life of the invisible man.

Eighteen, walk around the city all night and find a place to eat breakfast at dawn.

Nineteen, go to a restaurant and convince the cook to create something completely new for you.

Twenty, rent a movie you’ve never seen before, set it on mute and improvise dialogue.
