Hmmmm...

1. Figure out my Life
2. Get out of debt / Fix my credit
3. Take my parents to Disney World with my daughter before my dad keels over
4. Become more fluent in Spanish & teach it to my daughter.
5. Get back into college & actually -graduate- this time.
6. Go to a Dir en Grey concert.
7. Own a home, a boat, and a jet ski (like my parents did when I was a kid).
8. Travel - a lot. Namely do the "Great Circle" (by boat) or whatever it's called that my dad's always dreamed of.

1. View the seven wonders of the world.
2. Visit all 50 states.
3. Drive from the west coast to the east.
4. Visit all seven continents.
5. Visit each of the the seven seas.
6. Take the trans-siberian railway from Moscow to Vladivostok.
7. Spend New Year's in Times Square.
8. Dye my hair teal.
9. Complete a novel (one of a million that I've started, at the very least).
10. View the sunrise from a hot air balloon.

I have a severe case of self-diagnosed wanderlust. I want to go everywhere and see and do everything. I want to view the Northern Lights from Alaska, I want to see the empire of dead below Paris, I want to scuba in the Great Barrier Reef, I want to experience a twenty-four hour day in Iceland, I want to mourn at Auschwitz and I want to visit famous burial plots of everyone I admire who is dead, plus hundreds of other things I have listed. Ten isn't enough.

My bucket list is ever-lengthening.

1. Finish writing one of my novels (more possible now that I have graduated, but I've been in more of a short story kick lately. Creating a short story collection would be equally good to me).
2. Get married
3. Have a house with a huge library.
4. Get a teaching job.
5. Have my writing blog I just started take off and be used as a resource by my teacher friends and I.
6. Get published/add my published books to my slowly filling shelf of books by people I know
7. Go to Europe, Japan, Brazil.
8. Teach creative writing at the college level
9. Be in a band that isn't a church worship band. Along with this, I want to actually get decent at guitar. OR Sing in a barbershop quartet
10. Finish watching movies on a list a few of my friends have been compiling of must see movies because I have lived a deprived life and seen pretty few movies.

Edit: After seeing Shorty's list, I now really want to see a sunset from a hot air balloon now, haha. That would take the #10 spot I suppose. Also, I actually had the opportunity to see the Northern Lights in Alaska. I went with my mom and grandma to visit an uncle. I watched every night for a time for it to happen to no avail. One night after I had been up pretty late, I went to sleep. Not long after that, the northern lights happened, and none of my family came to woke me up knowing that that was #1 one my bucket list at the time. Saddest time of my life, haha.

Dir en grey is horrible live in small or medium sized venues, but some how when they played Ain't Afraid to Die it sounded perfect. That was on my bucket list to see them and hear them play that or Cage live.

Also dumb bucket list:

1. Meet Cuch
2. Meet Shorty
3. Meet Justy
4. Smeyes with Tyra Banks
5. Get on king da ka (everytime I go to Six Flags it's broken)

I will think of five more important ones later

I imagine they would in those sizes.. Kyo's voice is not ,meant to be constrained in small spaces.

I was watching a live of "Shokubeni" - one of my favs of their newer stuff and it was awesome. I'd like to see -mushi- & -I''ll- ... and Jealous -Reverse-. Either way. Kyo's my Japanese twin brother, I swear. We wear the same size shoes, same blood type, same zodiac sign, same height, etc... XD

Which reminds me...

#10 - See X Japan in concert too & visit hide's museum. I would say his grave, but some fools smashed it up on the anniversary of his death this year.

1. Family - ie, get married and have kids and have them grow up happy. Dogs and cats etc.
2. Road trip through North America.
3. Buy EoFF. Heh. Pipe dreams. ;)
4. Move back to New Zealand for at least a year, if not longer, if not forever.
5. Meet certain EoFFers. That list would be tricky to create, but I'd like to meet them, that's for sure! :p
6. Buy a nice, big house. If I could pick any house at all, it'd be Navah House, where I grew up. I love it, and it's huge.
7. Find a local friend I can be 100% myself around, and be 100% open with. This is harder than it might sound, at least for me it is, anyway.
8. Hmm... I'd love to resolve any issues that might still exist between me and people I love. There's only one or two in particular I really feel strongly about, though.
9. Geez, this is getting harder now. Uhm. Amazing threesome? I dunno. Oh, wait, wait, this works: Keep certain friendships intact for my entire life. There are a few people in this world that I would be genuinely heartbroken to lose the friendship of. Ideally, I'd like to remain close to them forever.
10. Enjoy life as often as possible. I know it's a cop-out, but it's also something that's quite blatantly important.

Kickstarter. Do it.

I'd just feel guilty if I bought EoFF using everyone else's money. If I was going to buy EoFF I'd want to feel like I owned it and didn't have to spend the rest of my life paying other people back.

But it's not a super serious want, it's just one of those things that I'd love to do but don't really think about often. If I were single, I'd probably already have done it, though. xD

My best bucket list entry ever was "get my own drug dealer to ask me what I was smoking," but that is now impossible since I quit weed.

Meeting Cuch would be cool, though.
