Is It Wrong To Change Your Bucket List?
Tuesday, December 08, 2009
While searching my email for something completely unrelated, I found some old emails from 2004. I copied and pasted all the comments from that time as, if memory serves me, Blogger was switching to a new comment system. I wanted to save all the comments, as y'all are some funny bitches.
So, I found
this list, from October, 2004. It is woefully out of date. Some of them are accomplished, and some of them.. some of them I can't even conceive why I would have wanted to do them to begin with. I think the lead paint and arsenic in the water in SH made me high. Or living alone with a cat could have also done it.
And so....
Twenty Things I Want to do Before I Die
Tuesday, October 05, 2004
In no particular order.....
1) Meet Sue Johanson and/or Betty Dodson. I have spoken to SJ on the phone, and have seen her in person 2 or 3 times. Now that I'm older I see that Betty Dodson is probably more my type. These ladies are both getting on in years (and I'm still willing to bet that SJ is starting to get a wee senile), so I don't think this will happen. And I'm okay with that.
2) See David Cooperfield live. Done! Very recently. I'm very glad I did it, but it was a very weak show. He had a good run, though.
3) Open a PP affiliate, or my own sex store (a la Venus Envy or Good Vibrations). As the PP here closed due to lack of funding, I feel like I could re-open the idea of having an affiliate here, especially with it's new name and mandate. It could happen. As far as a store... it would be fun, but let's not kid ourselves. I have no business sense.
4) Take a cross-country trip via train (not necessarily Canada). I once traveled on the train to Ottawa to surprise my sister. I sprung for a compartment and it was definitely worth the money. I think I would still like to do a longer trip, through the Rockies, someday.
5) Stay in a hotel room with a hot tub in it. This hasn't happened yet, but I did stay in a hotel that had a large soaker tub near the bed. As it turns out, the tub was too long for me and I kept slipping and nearly drowning. But it was still nice to be able to sit in a tub of water and watch American Idol.
6) Learn sign language. Not yet, but I'd still like to. The only thing preventing me accomplishing this is that I have no use for it to rationalize the expense of taking classes.
7) Earn another degree. Meh. I don't know. Do I have to? If I did, would I get any further in my degree? Is it worth the money? The idea is intriguing, but I haven't sold myself on it yet.
8) Learn how to wiggle my nose - I had a friend fron university who could do it, like a bunny, and it was gosh darn cute. This probably won't happen. I need to move on.
9) Have my own house. Hooray! Granted, it's not *my* house as I share it with MW. Or, more accurately, it's the bank's house. But for most intents and purposes, I can say it's my house.
10) Learn flower arranging. WTF? Really? Why? I've taken up painting lately, and I feel this is a good substitution.
11) Wear false eyelashes. Yes, I have done this (perhaps to a wedding?) and would like to do it again without feeling subconscious.
12) Learn one (or more) of the following dance styles: Samba, Belly, and Habanera. WTF again? I can't dance. And I don't want to dance. And I'll be fuckered if I'd subject anyone to my naked belly jiggling around. And isn't Habanera a pepper? What was I smoking?
13) Write a book. I've blogged for 9 bloody years. Isn't that enough? These days, I feel lucky enough to even *read* a book.
14) Get tied up. Though I can't remember any specifics, I feel like this has probably happened over the last 6 years.
15) Earn over 30k/year. Hooray! Accomplished! I'm a little sad that 5 years ago, this was an actual goal of mine. But I'm glad I've accomplished it.
16) Accomplish all the positions in the New Joy of Sex. Definitely still working on that one (but I think I'll have to crack it open - the book, pervs - for a refresher)
17) Give birth. What. The. HELL. Perhaps I meant "give birth, and then hand it over to the nice couple who paid me millions to bear them a child". I don't think this really meant "have a baby".
18) Pay off my student loans (see #15). AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yeah, still a good 20 years away from that, I think.
19) Have a G-spot orgasm, if possible (a.k.a. "squirt"). I don't mind telling you all that I've tried, in earnest, to make this happen. I've tried many, many, many times. But nothing. Nadda. Not even a drop. Now, that isn't to say that I haven't had g-spot orgasms, but I think when it comes down to it, some ladies are squirters, and some ain't. And one of those ladies, I ain't.
20) Learn to roll my 'r's. I feel like my previous argument also applies here. It just ain't gonna happen.

this is so amazing for so many reasons.
I have been wanting to make my own bucket list lately. Right now the only thing on it would be "sell the business" so I'm waiting until that's done so I can really put some thought into it.
I love the "give birth" one - if it was a goal once before, who knows, you may change your mind again. Or, as you say, become a surrogate. Who knows???
I just went through a list of shit I wanted to accomplish within the last five years. I do not know what I was smoking either. Although, some of them make a lot of sense. I can see why I would want to start taking vitamins regularly, but did I really need to make it a life goal? I do not think so. I guess I set the bar pretty low.
