Life List

It has taken me an embarrassingly long time to post this, because once I do, I'm basically making the commitment in a public forum. Also, there is nothing athletic or philanthropic or remotely epic on this list, so in that way, it's kind of embarrassing to post it anyway, it's just a list of my own selfishness. Well, here goes nothing. I'll delete it in the morning if I have dreams of shame.
  1. Meet Robert Pattinson (as long as he's not a total jerk)
  2. Publish a book (I count self-publication/distribution among friends)
  3. Have an adventure with my newish friend H
  4. Attend WMM shows with P and S and K
  5. Visit all Laura Ingalls Wilder historical sites (so far I've only seen De Smet, SD)
  6. Visit the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam
  7. EuroDisney
  8. Eat my weight in pastry across France
  9. Have a travel adventure with sisters, with a wider and wackier scope than our road trip this fall to Regina to see Hanson
  10. Beta for a ff author
  11. Grow little tomatoes and basil to recreate my sister's boyfriend's parents' basil-tomato-cheese-salad thing
  12. Learn drums well enough to play in a band
  13. Record an album
  14. See Bjork in concert
  15. Dance on stage at a rock show with N (note: my husband has pointed out I already did this, at a By Divine Right show at Ozzy's in May 2002, but it was so great that I want to do it again)
  16. Pay off the mortgage in full, then do something awesome to celebrate the fact, possibly involving fire
  17. Make all the cookies in the Martha Stewart cookie book (except the gross ones)
  18. Wear a totally awesome She-Ra costume
  19. Get another tattoo
  20. See Crystal Falls toy playset in person (http://www.reocities.com/TelevisionCity/broadcast/4645/fallsbox.jpg)
  21. Go to Finland and visit A and M
  22. Attend a Lebowski Fest (bigger than the one I attended at the Park Theatre in Winnipeg last August)
  23. Write some ff
  24. Play in a cover band that plays a really interesting mix of covers of all the songs I love, pretty heavy on stuff from this list
  25. Start an internet meme
  26. Send Masquerade Boy to all continents - FYI, he's already been to North America, Europe, and Australia. 
  27. Attend a huge outdoor music festival (like Lolla or Glastonbury or Coachella)
  28. See a Canadian band play in a foreign country

I love your list Holly, and I think there is a more than good chance you will do all of it! If I go visit mark in Egypt, I will gladly take a picture of masquerade boy in front of the pyramids! Also, seeing a Canadian band in a foreign country is the best thing ever. Oddly emotional, but I love it!
