Things to do before death/crippling old age
« on: January 30, 2010, 06:37:43 am »

^Title^:

  • Actually be responsible for something of artistic value
  • Learn French and Spanish (just because they're I think it'd be cool)
  • Learn to peel an orange with my bare hands
  • Learn Origami
  • Travel all over America/Canada
  • Go on one of those cool weightless plane rides. You know the ones.
  • Learn a martial art
  • Go to Europe and see what the hubbub is about.
  • Become atleast moderately wealthy
  • Learn how to wink with LEFT eye (I can only wink with my right eye, for whatever reason)
  • Get one of those awesome walk-in wardrobes, and have lots of cool business suits.
  • Build something cool, like a car or an addition to my home.
  • Get a flippin' sweet tattoo, that has special meaning and stuff
  • Learn how to snow board/ski
  • And because every list needs something ridiculous: Kick a terrorist in the balls.

Not listed in any meaningful order.

I just thought I'd actually take the time to list these things, for reference, I suppose.

I obsessively chew my nails, so I can't start an orange without a knife. Whenever I try, I just end up crushing the orange.

Alienate everyone I know with snide remarks.
Find someone who is also alienating all their friends that way
Befriend them
Kill them
Grow a beard
Shave it
Figure out how to make my hair not get so stringy if it gets wet
Ruin Jreengus' quest to cure age
Get shot in the head

All of these but the last can be taken in any order

1. Stop myself from trying to stop Cthulhu from trying to ruin Jreengus's attempts to cure death/crippling old age.
2. Cross off #1 because I know I'll never actually do it and crossing it off will make me feel better.
3. Fail to cross off anything on this list because I'm too lazy, including #3.

To peel an orange by yourself, make it an effort to save one nail for two weeks. It will also be a test of willpower to stop with the nail-chewing. (gum and getting out of middle school helped me stop)

Skydiving in the spring! I may post pics when it happens!

I like to slip into bear caves around midnight and gently caress the carnivore inside before leaving a small cut of fresh fish and sneaking out.

As long as you're thinking about what you want to do before you die, I think it's important to plan the death as well.  For instance, my father has started putting together his own bucket list (not that he'd ever be so lame as to call it that), but most important to him is going out with dignity.  He's writing it into his will that if I have the means, he wants me to strap his body to a motorcycle and try (and spectacularly fail) to break Evel Knievel's record by jumping the Snake River Canyon.  Short of that, we're looking into burial at sea, preferably Viking style.

why would you want to stop? if you don't chew nails then you have to waste time cutting them!

When nails get long enough you can just strip them off with other nails for lack of a better word.
