- Climb a mountain Not a wussy mountain. Over 14,000 feet (gulp).
- Skydive I attempted this once and was foiled due to fog. However, I started scaring myself silly with worries of going splat. I can't let these worries stop me from doing something I've always wanted to do.
- Make a million dollars Living in the Silicon Valley, this apparently won't get me very far, but at least it's a starting point.
- Hang-glide I've always wanted to fly: nuff said.
- Bungee Jump
- Act in a movie
- Write a book The dork in me thinks it would be cool to write a book about my dream fulfilling if this blog goes well. But realistically, it could be a book on anything, but it would have to be able to show up in my local B&N.
- Live in another country for at least three months I didn't get to go abroad in college and I've regretted it ever since. Doesn't matter where; I just want a long enough time to assimilate (mostly) into a new culture.
- Backpack across Europe Another foiled college dream. This trip must be two weeks or longer (preferably longer).
- Scuba dive the great barrier reef I need to see it before it's gone.
- Open a restaurant Another childhood dream. I'm certainly not a culinary god, but I know what I like and I would love to open up something small somewhere to give the gift of good food.
- Sell a piece of art I may be a web designer, but I'm still an artist (albeit one who has ignored her charcoals for far too long). Must be an original piece of work, going for over $100.
- Become proficient in a martial art Badassery includes karate-chops.
- Become proficient in a musical instrument I can't think of a good benchmark for this one, but I would like to be good enough with an instrument to play most pieces of music.
- Complete a Century (100 mile bike race) I love biking, and this seems like a better idea than a marathon.
- Appear in a magazine Must be a fairly well-known magazine, in any subject
- Learn to surf Not much to say; just another way to be badass.
- Sing in a band to an audience I have a TERRIBLE voice, but I want to try this. It looks like such a rush.
- Build my dream house I've always been interested in architecture since I was a kid, and house plans particularily fascinated me. My dream house is probably going to be terribly expensive (needs to have a lot of land, trees, huge windows, large library) but someday I hope I'll have it. Note, I don't have to actually build it... but at least be involved in the planning.
- Learn another language I started learning French in High School but have since forgotten all but the very basics. When I relearn a language, it'll probably be French again, or perhaps Italian.
- Meet the President A handshake will do.
- Work a season of a renaissance faire I'm a giant nerd, and I ADORE ren faires. A season will be a bitch, but it'll be a great experience.
- Swim with dolphins Not those lame swim-a-lap-in-a-swimming-pool-and-you're-done places. Wild dolphins, or something at least a bit more real.
- Visit the Amazon The bugs will probably terrify me now (ew ew ew) but I should see it before it's destroyed.
- Visit the North Pole Brrrrr!
- Hike the Pacific Crest Trail Don't think I'll ever actually be able to do the entire trail (6 to 8 months!). Two weeks on the trail will probably be good enough.
- Dogsled Not many requirements here; just have the experience to be on a dogsled.
- Learn to sail Learn the basics of sailing and be able to maneuver a small craft by myself.
- Learn to read Latin I realize this is kind of a defunct skill now, but it's one of those childhood dreams.
- Attend the Oscars Glamour dream. I could be in the nosebleeds, but I'd love to just be there.
- Be in Times Square for New Years It looks like such a rush, to be surrounded by so many partying people. I've never actually been at a party for New Years, so this will be a big jump for me.
- Attend a movie premier Must be a large, national movie with a red carpet.
- Snowshoe One of those simple tasks I've never managed to do.
- Compete in a triathlon Back in the day I used to volunteer for TriCalifornia, a company that organizes triathlons around California. Seeing that I know how dead everyone looks crossing the finish line, I shouldn't really want to throw myself into one... but it would certainly be a great achievement. This will NOT be an Ironman.
- Live in the south of France for awhile This could be combined with my wish to live abroad for three months. France is gorgeous, and I would love to be able to spend some time there.
- Get a motorcycle license Dangerous but freakin' awesome.
- Attend Burning ManSometimes I wonder whether I have the disposition to attend Burning Man, and whether the festival is really as great as I heard it used to be. Still on the list from my teenage years, though.
- See the Northern Lights Nuff' said.
- Take a hot air balloon ride Preferably over the Napa Valley.
- Pierce something other than my earlobes For awhile I really wanted an eyebrow piercing or a lip ring. I've also want to re-pierce my cartilage (which was torn last time... ouch!)
- Achieve a healthy BMI My weight is not healthy (according to my body fat percentage, not my self-esteem) and it tears me up inside to know this. Diets tend to fail on me but someday I'll get my weight down.
- Pet a tiger ...while keeping my hand intact.
- Run a mile in less than 10 minutes I run a mile, currently, around 12:30.
- Own a business Doesn't matter what, whether it's the restaurant named above or something else.
- Own my own house Could be my "dream house" or it could be another house that I've bought. I could be paying mortgage payments, however.
- Spend a night in a haunted house I have a wild imagination, so this will be extremely tough.
- Learn to dance Salsa, swing, ballroom; something structured so I don't look like a total dork on a dance floor.
- Save a life I hesitated to put this on here because I'd first have to be in a situation where I have to save a life, but here it is.
- Speak at a conference I go to plenty conferences about web design and would love to be a speaker at one (any type). Conference should be rather large, not a small and regional conference.
- Do a cartwheel I've never had the strength, even when I was little, to do a cartwheel. This must be rectified.
- Ride a unicycle Ride a unicycle well enough that I don't immediately fall on my face.
- Work a day at Charm City Cakes I'm kinda a fan of the show. I'm an artist! I can help!
- Brew beer Any kind, but I particularly enjoy wheat beers.
- Grow wine grapes and bottle wine Unfortunately, this one will depend mostly on where I am living at the time.
- Learn how to shoot a gun I don't want to own a gun (ever), but I think it's important to know how to properly wield one. You know, just in case of zombie hordes (where an axe actually might do more good, but I digress).
This absolutely scares me to death. But it was part of my original dream list when I was little, so I can't strike it out now.
...Heh. See, I'm really shy. But ever since I walked by a movie set in Calistoga, Ca (Rob Schneider movie. Not even that glamorous), I've wanted to be a part of a movie. Note: I don't need major billing, but it can't be just playing an extra. Something that I would have to audition for.

I tried to publish a comment before, yet it hasn't display. I think your spam filter might be broken?
Would you mind elaborating on the first point? Sorry but I'm kind of slow when it comes to this :)
Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. But imagine if you added some great graphics or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this site could certainly be one of the very best in its niche. Terrific blog!
