My list of things to do before I die... [More:]Inspired by Capn's post.
IRFH, sweet, I was just thinking the same thing.
posted by Frisbee Girl 20 March | 11:23
-Menage e trois in an open field under the Aurora Borealis listening to wolves howling in the distance while on acid.

-Eat the still-beating heart of a ninja.

-Publish a decent novel, have it made into a really craptastic movie. The kind of movie that sux so hard, it inspires award-winning drag musical reviews.

-World domination. Maybe even a little world bondage and discipline.

You know... Same-ol'-same-ol'.

Overrated, wolves on acid mostly stare at their paws and giggle.


-Eat the still-beating heart of a ninja.

Underrated, way way underrated, eat an enemie's heart today!


Me personally I would like to own two boats, a fresh little 35 foot 70's era fiberglass hull sailboat and a beat to shit, barely floating wooden house boat with a coal burning stove and a car radio wired to three speakers.

-See total solar eclipses from both the air and the ocean

-Fly into the eye of a Category 5 hurricane

I'd prefer to form my own opinion.

- Travel. Travel more once teleportation is perfected.
- See Halley's Comet again.
- Marriage & children
- Be loved enough to not be one of those old ladies found two weeks after she dies with her face chewed off by her 20 hungry cats.
- Learn how to drive a stick shift.
- Oh, and cure cancer, end world hunger, establish world peace, and prevent the coming pandemic.

Meet everyone on my list of five most (famous) influential people on my life so far (this list is open to change). (currently Robert Smith, Takashi Miike, Camryn Manheim, Michael Chabon and Ani diFranco)

Find someway to express my gratitude to my grandparents.

Drive across the country with the love of my life.

Visit Antartica.

Learn how to be fiscally responsible.
posted by YouCanCallMeAl 20 March | 12:25
Publish a world-shattering novel or collection of short-stories.

Both.

Also, somehow do something that makes someone manufacture and sell a Shane action figure.

When there's an action figure of me, I'll have arrived.

Oh, I need to write and/or draw at least one great comic book too.

Just eat the strawberry on the cliff every day while appreciating the beauty of the tiger above.

Two guys + one girl = sharing sucks.
Two girls + one guy = too much effort unless you are selfish about it.

I'd like to visit Russia, Ireland, (actually, just add in half of Europe), at least a place or two in South America, a handful of them there tropical islands, all fifty states, a few places in Canada, Cuba, a few other places.

I would also like to see an erupting volcano or at least lava (probably visiting Hawaii will satisfy that), own either of these: Lotus Elise, Lotus Espirit, or one of the high-end Ferraris.

I'll vouch for that.

You're obviously not thinking outside of the, er, box.
I totally didn't get what I was saying til the end of the sentence, but the sentiment stands.

I totally do not understand the appeal of a threesome.

You're obviously not thinking outside of the, er, box.
I lolled. Loled? Whatever it is, I did it.

Whatever it is I want to do it before I die.

Weretable stole my list. I posted about the volcano thing to MeFi a while ago. And I just posted links to the Elise this weekend to #metachat!

But you know what my real and only thing on that list is? To become a self-actualized person, whatever that means.
posted by Eideteker 20 March | 12:59
Like a higher level Thetan or something?
posted by Hugh Janus 20 March | 13:00
I self-actualize every chance I get.

That is a really important and good thing.
