things to do before...

Postby Dorothy » Sat May 31, 2008 12:27 pm

I decided to make a 100 things to do before I die list and since it's not full up yet I could use some inspiration (as well as me just being curious about what other people would put on such a list)

What do you want to do before you... (get married, die, turn thirty, have kids or whatever)?

my list involves (amongst other stuff) skydiving, cycling to Disneyland and skinnydipping.

how 'bout the rest of the kitties?

A friend told us at dinner she wants to hike the apalachian trail.

I go back and forth constantly about wanting to have a baby (give birth).

Run a triathalon

Write and publish a novel (or more than one)

See my kids graduate, marry, have kids, etc. (be happy)

Okay, I've thought this over. I'm listing them from Most Likely to Happen to Least Likely to Happen:

1. Go to Europe. Which is gonna happen in Nov. So... YAY!

2. Sky Dive. That's something I'd like to do before I die. (Or... maybe that will be when I die. :laugh )

3. Enter space. I'm know, sounds ridiculous but... I REALLY want to. Just... Take me up for a 13 seconds then bring me back. I don't care! Just wanna see it! Lol.

4. Fall in love with someone who'll feel the same back.

That's all I got for now. :)

I used to have a list of things to do before I'm 30. Did nothing on it, then I had another list of things to do before I'm 40. Same result. I'm not making a 50 one ;-)

But, things to do before I die, there may be a chance I'll actually acheive something on that.

1. Go whale watching in Alaska.

2. Say I love you and actually mean it!

3. Commit the perfect crime.

4. Discover a new plant species.

5. Spray my name in weedkiller on our bowling green when I retire from work.

Of those five, only the last one is a definate.

A question for you Dorothy, how can you list 'get high' as something you'd like to do? (I followed your link) You live in the city of the magic brownie, go ahead and order something from the special menu and have the thrill of ticking something off your list ;-)

Before I get knocked up I'd like to:

1. Hike Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park
2. Travel to Europe (this October baby! London and Paris, lock up your daughters cause here I come!)
3. Take a cruise to Mexico.
4. Finish my fan fic.
5. Get that second tattoo.

i used to have a ton of things i thought i'd have accomplished by the time i was 30. however, when i turned 30 in march, the only thing i'd managed to check off the list was "finish school" - i made it through undergrad and law school by 28, so i guess i did okay. in these 30 years i've also managed to live in the four corners of the united states, intern in d.c. (my dream city), go to europe, canada and mexico, visit 39 states, be in love, be heartbroken, have amazing sex, and make incredible friends.

some of the things i'd still like to do:

- go to Alaska (their whole "Alaska before you die!" campaign totally worked on me)

- finish off all of my quest to bed an alumnae of each of the seven sisters (two down, five to go!)

- take my picture at each of the state capitals (9 down, 41 to go!)

- stop dating bitchy commitment-phobes who marry the person they dump me for and find someone who actually wants to marry me!

- load up a college fund for my niece

- pay off my crazy student loan debt and buy a house

i'm sure there's more, but that's what i'm coming up with right now.

You should definately add:

- get smashed on Goon whilst backpacking in australia

and one my friend suggested:

- have sex in a public place (not sure if that's your type of thing :p )

I've got 97 things to do already :D the list is almost complete

This would be a short list of goals before I die that I'm editing to before I'm 30, and I have nearly 7 years for that:

Take my company nationwide

Take my company worldwide

Adopt another child

Get married (forever kinda married)

Be at peace with myself and my past

Travel the world

Own a restaurant

Be more confident and less shy

Go to the Olympics

Play softball for an actual team

Go back to college

Short list I know, and all attainable goals in the mostly foreseeable future.
