What's on your Bucketlist?

[AedanRayne]

I've heard a lot of people talking about the fear of getting older lately (it's inevitable to feel that way from time to time). It seems to stem from the fear of not doing all that you dreamed of in life. We have the power to tackle our dreams head on and make them a reality! Which leads me to ask... Do you have a Bucketlist of goals, aspirations and plan to follow your dreams (even the tiniest of goals - ex: one of mine is to make a homemade lasagna)?

I've had a Bucketlist in a document on my computer for quite some time but decided to join the site http://bucketlist.org to put it out there for all to see. Sometimes when we make our goals public, it drives us more to achieve such goals and in turn makes us stronger / happier. I think this could be a fun thread for us to discuss our dreams and to post entries when we complete them (text, photos and/or video)!

I'll start with three of my Bucketlist goals:
- Make a home made lasagna
- Paraglide through Verdon Gorge in France (planning this for August)
- Dance in a penguin suit in a populated city center

I'd love to hear your dreams and stories of the dreams you've made a reality! :dance:

I need to make a new one, since the old one's disappeared and I've forgotten most of what was on it.
I remember that I'd always wanted to shake hands with someone famous (done!), ride a motorcycle, skydive, etc.

I think what scares me the most about getting older is losing my health and my independence.

Three of my goals (in no particular order):

Buy my childhood home.
Spend a Summer in Paris.
Visit every theme/amusement park in the US.

[LadyLuna]

My bucket list... hm... well, it's never been an official list, but here are the things I've always wanted to do, in no particular order:

-visit Ireland, Scottland, Italy, France, Spain, and Stonehenge (NOTE: Stonehenge is the only tourist spot I wish to visit, all the rest I plan to avoid. I want to meet the people.)

-start an organization to help foster children learn how to live in society, and to give them a place to talk safely about anything at all. (basically, I want to give them a stable community at their school, cause they don't get one at home)

-learn Japanese, Latin, and Celtic, as well as finish learning French

-finish writing the stories I've started

-own a house

-go to all the US tourist spots

-have a child (Keep going back and forth on this one cause I'm also a little afraid of it)

-own a real piano and brush up my piano skills (keyboards just don't feel right...)

-learn to play the violin

-take singing classes

-learn to cook

-make a chainmail outfit

-become good at sewing, instead of just passable

-read ALL THE BOOKS

-watch ALL THE ANIME (well, okay, only most of it. Some of it is just way too horrible to watch)



I am well aware that it would take many lifetimes for me to do all these things. That's why I don't consider these a "I must do these before I die" kind of thing. These are just, I'd like to do at least a bunch of these before I die.

I have a list of 20 things to do in the next 20 years. Technically, I have about 10 of them and am leaving the other 10 open as no doubt, my life and goals will change (they already have).

the only goal i have right now is to leave Australia. Where I end up (back to thailand? live in canada for a year? the states?), I dont quite know just yet, but its going to happen by the end of this year.

some of my list include
Go back to Thailand to live for another year
bungee jump (duh)
Skydive (duh)
trek up to the Taktsang Monastery in Bhutan
start a small urban farm
