I’m gonna live forever or die trying.
Just see if I don’t!
A hole in one would be nice.
Go to a Super Bowl.
Have a grandkid. I’ve got 4 great daughters and I want to know what it feels like to have a baby knowing that to a great extent I can at any time turn to Mommy or Daddy and say you can have 'em back now.
Sky Dive.
Visit the Outerbanks.
Go on a Cruise.
Visit every state.
Go and graduate from college.
Maybe have a kid or two.
and this may sound messed up, but it makes sense to me…
Find a purpose. Something so wonderful that would want me to value my life span. Take better care of myself. Maybe get me out of the, “going through the motions” type attitude to one that is like, “Woohooo… brand new day! What adventure will we have today!”
May sound completely messed up to other people, but it makes complete sense to me.
This happened to me one time, and I didn’t realize it but somebody I worked with noticed and commented that I was smiling a lot now and bounding down the hallways. What was it that made the change? An office romance that soon went bust. But the feeling was fun while it lasted.
So are you suggesting I find a co-worker to boink? :dubious: Only two guys I work with, one is old enough to by my father (No thanks.) and FourPaws is married (another no go, obviously). Maybe I can talk to my boss about hiring more men. 
I’m just jazz’n ya.
Being single does suck tho, doesn’t it?
I’ve done both of those, and they are so worth doing once. The coolest thing about skydiving (I did it 3 times, but am scared to try again), is that, unlike a roller coaster, you have no sensation of falling. It feels like you are flying. Then, when the chute opens, and you’re still a mile up, it is so quiet and peaceful. Excitement to serentiy to a (sometimes bumpy) landing. Worth a try.
And a cruise (I’ve been on 2) is like staying in a floating, full service hotel, where you get amazing customer service. I’d like to take an Alaskan cruise before I die.
And I want to throw back an opponent’s homerun while in the Bleachers at Wrigley Field (or whatever the hell they are going to call it).
Bucket List:
- Make Bucket List
Learn how to live.
Be the youngest-lookin’, hippest gal in a swanky retirement community in Miami.
Drive from Cairo to the Cape.
Fly in space.
Figure out what this strange plastic thing is and why it has been in the kitchen drawer for as long as I can remember.
Go to Tahiti.
It’s the only place I’d really like to see that I haven’t been to yet.
Retire.
Get a proper, tenure-track academic job
Get tenure
Become the kind of teacher most of my undergrad profs and my graduate advisor were
Have children (though at thirty-one and terminally single, the prospects for this aren’t looking good)
Finish and publish the novel I’m writing
Go to Petra
Go to Ankgor Wat
Go to Australia
… oh hell, go everywhere.
I really really really hope we have some choice in the whole “crossing over” thing, because if I can, I’m going to haunt the hell out of some people just to let them know that there is an afterlife, and that I’m having fun with it.
Hmm… somebody I love, or somebody I dislike?
Either way, I think I’ll go to their house and move stuff around randomly. Maybe whisper in their ears. 
My list, in no particular order, and with mind paid to the fact that I probably won’t get all of these done–but hell, I’ve got a long time, right?:
- Travel to most capitals of Western Europe.
- Backpack through Europe, in a general sense.
- Live in Europe.
- Live in Canada.
- Buy pot legally. (Not as easy in California as you’d think. Owning legally? Real easy. Smoking legally? Even easier. Buying legally? Not so much.)
- Drive all the way up the Pacific Coast from San Diego to somewhere in Alaska.
- Smoke pot in Vancouver.
- Smoke pot in Amsterdam.
- Go to Gen Con.
- Go to the Cannabis Cup.
- Play in an RPG tournament.
- Play in a videogame tournament.
- Go to Mexico. (Yeah, I know, weird that I haven’t done it yet. But I never got around to it before, and the crime situation is a little too dangerous right now, so I’m waiting it out.)
- Fire a fully automatic weapon.
- Pilot an anthropomorphic or quadraped robot from the inside.
- Learn to play an instrument.
- Fight in a just war or revolutuion.

- Experience total sensual deprivation.
- Learn to ride a bike.
- Practice Satanism.
- Go to (soccer) games in the EPL (England), La Liga (Espanol), the Bundesliga (Germany), Ligue 1 (France) and Serie A (Italy), among others.
- See a World Cup in person.
- See a Super Bowl in person.
- See a Stanley Cup Final in person.
- See an Australian rules football game in person in Australia.
- See a rugby game in person in a country where it’s important.
- Live on a commune. (A kibbutz is good enough.)
- Visit Africa.
I’m pretty sure I’ve got that last one sewn up within the next two or three years, and I’m shooting for the World Cup in 2014. Most of the other stuff will depend on chance.

Visit all of Europe

Get married (b4 having kids is preferred)

Become a pop star (or maybe just a damn good singer)
