Topic #242: Write your bucket list – a list of things you want to do before you kick the bucket.
Since my birthday is next week and this just happened to pop in my email yesterday, I figured the universe wanted met to finally tackle this list.
**I would like to accomplish most of these before I am thirty, so I really need to get going…
(In no particular order and I will probably add things later on.)
- Go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter
- Fall in love and be in a long-term relationship with a fabulous man, I’m a romantic what can I say 🙂
- TRAVEL and take a crap load of pictures along the way : Go to Ireland and kiss the Blarney Stone or a hot Irishman with an authentic accent, either would do just fine; Go to England and enjoy the sites, especially Globe Theater and Holbourn; Go to various French historical sites, especially Versailles and the Louvre; Go to Italy, hopefully with my favorite lovely lady as my guide/translator ;); Go to New Orleans and enjoy some real Creole during Mardis Gras, and maybe visit Bon Temps ;); Go to Egypt and see the Pyramids
- Write, Finish and Publish a novel (hopefully “Thorns”)
- Go to culinary school and get a pastry degree
- Work in a bakery and create amazing cakes and desserts that bring smiles to people’s faces
- Cook a full Thanksgiving dinner for a large gathering of friends all on my own, from scratch
- Go to Comic-Con in San Diego and spend some serious cash on stuff I don’t need
- Get back down to 150 lbs and, more importantly, feel fit, healthy and comfortable in my body
- Have a full-time job, with benefits, that I enjoy going to everyday and that can keep me secure enough financially that I will no longer freak out over loans
- Read all of the fiction books in my library
- Go to some kind of vampire fan convention, I would have said Anne Rice’s Halloween Ball but it no longer exists as far as I know
- Sing in at karaoke bar, however this is only if people are forced to applaud and not boo!
- Learn a martial art or at least take a kick boxing class and stick with it (this will help with #12)
- Watch all the films on the “100 movies you must see before you die” list
- Make enough money so that I can give to a charity
- Be more active in the Wicca community, finally get a real initiation ritual
- Be someone’s bridesmaid
- Have my own place with an amazing kitchen!
- Eat at the restaurants of the biggest chefs in the US
- Be in the cockpit of a plane, I love flying
- Buy a motorcycle and finally have a reason to buy an entire black leather outfit, although I doubt I would actually get to have a motorcycle, so I would like to have a Mini Coup with a Jolly Rodger flag on the roof
- Sell a photograph or cake for more than $200
And now the Fantasy Bucket List (things that I know will never happen but that I want to happen):
- Make out with Colin Farrell
- Become a vampire, or at least be bitten by one 😉
- Build a time machine and take a vacation in history, probably starting in Ancient Greece or Egypt
- Turn one of my favorite books into a film, written by and directed by me
- Have someone else turn my novel into a movie
- Meet P!nk and tell her how she changed my life
