2. Own a gun and get a concealed carry permit

4. Learn Russian
5. Get a ,,, fursuit..
6 visit Switzerland and buy bunch of Victorinox swiss army knife.
7. Visit Australia!!
8. Hug a female wolf.
9. Build an EMP pulse device
10. Meet my old friends again
11 meet someone IRL I know on interweb

and more, I'll add em up later

Oh man, I had to write one of these for my Expository Writing class! I still have it! Here, have a copy & paste thing!

Ten Things I Want to Do In My Lifetime

1. Visit my pen pal, Aaron [last name edited here], who lives in [edit], England.
Aaron and I have been friends for three years, and through all the Skype chats we have had, I’ve learned so much about the British culture and I have made a great friend. Living in America, I have often spent Saturdays wondering, “If Aaron lived here, I could take him to this great CD store in [that one town] and we could go to that new move later.” It is hard having a close friend live 3,000 miles away. I really want to meet him in person, without the barrier of an ocean and a webcam.

2. Have a photography session during the months of Midnight Sun in Nordic countries.
I love photography, and having a friends who were born in Sweden, I have always wanted to visit the Nordic countries. The Midnight Sun is a natural phenomenon that occurs during the summer there (so it wouldn’t be too cold, and I hate the cold), and a quick Google search will show the amazing photography shots available during that time.

3. Go to Cleveland, Ohio, to visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Great Lakes Science Center, Lake Erie, and my friend Geoff.
Music is my passion, and natural science fascinates me. I want to visit a Great Lake for the new experience, and I have not seen my friend Geoff since middle school.

4. Visit Japan in April.
I want to visit a culture that is completely different than mine, and the Japanese culture is a good match for what I am seeking. Cherry blossoms are one of my favorite plants, so visiting in April will give me the opportunity to attend the Cherry Blossom festival. I also love Japanese art, so buying some authentic Japanese works would be fantastic for me.

5. Take a trip to California.
All my life, my dad has talked about how great California is (he used to live there). I want to see a West Coast sunset and see if California is as great as he makes it out to be.

6. Go on a road trip to Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana (specifically new Orleans), and Texas.
I have never been to these states before. I have so many friends in this broad area, and also reading the book Huckleberry Fin has always made me curious to see how Midwestern life is along the Mississippi River. I want to have a personal photography session along the coast of the Mississippi River; viewing images from photography websites has shown me the complexity and detail of this landscape.

7. Get a college degree.
Education has always been very important in my family, but I am the first family member to have the opportunity to attend college. Not only do I want the personal satisfaction of obtaining a higher education to have a better life, but I want to see the joy in my parents’ eyes as I walk across the stage to receive my college degree; they have spent the last eighteen years of their lives wanting better for their daughter, and I want to make them proud.

8. Marry my best friend.
I don’t mean my best friend right at this moment, but I hope I am lucky enough to spend the rest of my life with someone who loves me for everything I am and will support me in everything I do. I hope that when I am sixty years old, I am with someone whose love for me grows more and more with each passing day. That level of companionship is one of the strongest bonds I have ever seen and I hope I will be blessed enough to experience it myself.

9. Become a positive YouTube role model and have 15 minutes of fame.
I don’t want to be in the spotlight for my entire life, but I am fascinated with how revolutions in technology have allowed people from all over the earth to have a voice and change the world. I admire the people on YouTube who use this power to reach audiences to create and inspire positive social changes. These people won’t be world-renowned like Mother Teresa or Mahatma Gandhi, but they supply that quick energy to get the masses inspired for change.

10. Build my own computer.
I love technology, and I’ve always wanted the satisfaction of being able to build my own computer to the exact specifications for how I want it. Hopefully, with the completion of item seven on this list (I wish to major in computer engineering), I have the knowledge to do that.

So basically I want to do a crap-ton of travelling and spending time with people. Writing this list made me feel like Ellie from the movie Up.

I'm assuming she meant 44R0NM10 from the forums.

They have not known each other for 3 years, so that is a no go.

1. I'm actually referring to the forumite, 44R0NM10. I refer to him as my pen pal simply because I don't want to start the conversation of, "Hey guys I met him on the Internet." My parents think we did a pen pal program through our English classes. I'm actually meeting him this summer when he and his family go on vacation just a few states away from me.

6. Again, I was also referring to the forumites as well. X3 I've had a friend from GaiaOnline the past four years who lives in Chicago, and I also want to meet Sleet, Diss, and Tha Housefox. I am considering moving to the Midwest when I am older. While I never want to leave the south, I want to be in a more diverse area, a big city. I would never move back up northeast, though. I hate the cold and that chapter of my life is over. The Midwest has much of the southern culture but also a better urban environment. But home is where the heart is, and if I met "the right guy," I may never want to leave North Carolina. I certainly do love it here, but the Midwest is another option of mine indeed.

8. I mean, I don't know! Independence is important to me, and I don't feel like I could fully enter a marriage until I have my own business sorted out. I want to graduate college and have a "grown up" job first. I do not want to depend on someone monetarily and I know that I won't be happy with myself unless I have a career of my own. I will be unsatisfied socially (okay, let's be honest. I'm a people person and very extroverted. I'm only happy I'm very busy- I have a restless, high-energy spirit) and economically, and that will negatively impact me and the person I am committed too. And what if I make a mistake and marry the wrong person in the beginning? My career can't suddenly wake up one day and say, "I don't love you anymore." So... Can that be my answer?

huh. guess that's a common name in England, then.

*hits Brent with a salami* Read my previous post, silly!

Imma well satisfied! And don't forget to meet Rick too.
My parent's would go rage if I say, I'm gonna meet someone I met on interweb.

So Brent and flint, what's your's?

Take my word for it. Stay away from SoCal. Personally, I dislike the majority of this state simply due to the insane politics. And I want out asap.

Otherwise have fun. At most we've got pretty girls, awesome food, and sunny weather.



(Also, no lie. If you've got money and excellent timing, you can in fact both snowboard and surf in the same day.)

I love California, all of it. They have some great state, national, and historic parks.

My list...
- Come up with a bucket list
- Learn guitar. (I think I'll try it out this summer)
- Visit another country. (Not sure where, just somewhere different and not a part of North America. So, no Canada or Mexico.)
- Start a band with friends again. (It was fun but didn't last very long)
- Go to a music festival. (Coachella would be great, every year it's too expensive. Or Sasquatch! I keep missing it 'cause friends can't go)
- Visit Austin, TX. Nashville and Memphis, TN.
- Surf
- Build a motorcycle and take the same trip they did in the movie Easy Rider. With out the horrible death

-Then have a kid before I am 28

- Write a book good enough to make into a movie or game
- go to Blizzcon
- tell my whole family how happy i am of them
- retire on a job i love

not much for my list, but it may get bigger =P

-I'll go buy your books.
-perhaps can't you say it right now to your family?

The list:
- Own a pet
- Go on a road trip
- Live in a snowy area

That's it so far.

texascat018 wrote:-perhaps can't you say it right now to your family?

Tell them it frequently, actually. Luckily, I make it so it ain't corny everytime, but when the years catch-up, I still like to remind them =P

Everything else I have in mind all depends on how things progress from my first objective.

1. Set foot on every continent, including Antarctica, and spend at least a month on each, excluding Antarctica.

2. Travel into space.

3. Fly fighters in the USAF.

4. Be elected to national political office.

5. Learn to speak Spanish, Italian, German, and maybe Russian.

6. Earn Master-class certification in USPSA and IDPA.

7. Save an innocent person's life.

8. Spend a year penniless and homeless.

9. Fly a P-51D.

10. Go on a "Big 5" safari hunt.

Dream big, right...?

I think you are dreaming too small for that one.

1:Meet Rick

Yeah, I've already done everything I've ever wanted to do and feel is within the realms of my possibility.

My Bucket List:
- Make a comic/manga/book
- Make a video game/visual novel
- Visit Japan
- Go to an Otaku convention at least once, while cosplaying
- Meet Rick

2) get a job to fund them
3) continue the first step
4) become a hero.

Pretty simple really.
