Things you want to do before you die...

[Havoc]

Il would like:

-A tiger as a pet
-putting up a siegfried and roy kinda show with the tiger
-being famous
-and when I Would know the exact second of my death I would let the tiger kill me.

Ok, the last one is a little sick, I admit. But It might make dyng a lot more fun if your killed by your great passion .

[paramiteabe]

Why get drunk before having sex? I'd want to remember it!

Well we won't remember because were going to die in this case.

Paramiteabe...

I mean remembering until you die. This thread isn't "what to do in your last hours of life." It's more a "goals you want to accomplish in your life before your time is up" thread. At least, that's what I observed.

I went to Arizona once and really enjoyed myself. Hiking to anasazi ruins and whatnot is loads of fun. I've always enjoyed Native American mythology 'n ruins 'n stuff.

And if I were to move after I retired, I wouldn't mind the warm temperature. I would probably shoot for Phoenix or Flagstaff or something.

I'd have to say your best bet would be Gilbert. I live in Gilbert, and I've been to all the major cities here...trust me, it's the best. It definitely looks much nicer and all, and has a higher quality feeling to it. It's really nice. Phoenix and Tempe are very trashy, low-income areas. I really don't enjoy going there.

[ANN NEELY]

Oh, boy, where to start....

-To impersonate ANY voice.
-To find a new dinosaur species
-To go to Hawaii
-To destroy the person who keeps throwing M&Ms at me at lunch (Not kidding!)

[webmaster_dragon]

5. Lose this spare tire on my abdomen

[Facsimile]

I wish someone would throw M&Ms at me. I'm hungry.

Mine is to listen to all of the music (Okay maybe not all, probably not certain genres like pop and country).
Unfortunately, this is a dream which is not physically possible.

Realistic (kind of) things I would like to do:
- Be famous
- Be in a successful, worldwide known band
- Be in a movie
- Make or help make a video game
- Paris Hilton

[Havoc]

Oh Odd! This threat is back alive O.o *Shoots the topic*

[Godlesswanderer]

Things I would like to do before I die:

• Not die a virgin.
• Get rid of my large gut.
• Get really good at digital art (ie. Photoshop)
• Earn loads of money on eBay.
• Become a recognised digital artist.
• Live in a forest up in scotland (or somewhere like that) like an ancient caveman.
• Learn a martial art.
• Join some kind of hitman agency. Don't ask me why. The hitman lifestyle just seems cool.
• Make a VR game.
• And the list goes on...

[Leto]

Get rid of my large gut.

Don't eat for a week! It works, and you can trust me on that!

[Dino]

Don't eat for a week! It works, and you can trust me on that!

Heh. Sorry but that's not true. You can't lose years of built up fat by just going on hunger strike for a week. David Blaine went on hunger strike for bloody ages and at the end of it he hadn't visably lost that much weight at all. He was just in a really shitty state.

So here's a crash course on fast weight loss:

The way I've always dieted, is to cut out most food except for bare essentials like vitamins and various other stuff that my body needs to keep it's internal organs working. That's stuff with no carb, no fat, and very few calories. Drink only water, and keep that up for about 4 - 8 weeks.

You'll need to exercize a fair bit too... not too much, but just more than you normally do - for instance, go out on a bike ride every day. Not bodybuilding exercize though, just energyburning exercize. This speeds up the fat-eating process that your body has for when you're not getting any proper food. Many people believe that if they stop eating then they'll lose weight really quickly, but it doesn't work like that - if you're not burning anything off, and you're not gaining anything eiether, then you'll simply remain roughly the same weight.

Also, try doing 20 - 40 situps per day before you go to bed. That'll burn off anything extra that's lying around, keep the fatburning going for a while longer, and improve your abdominal strength, which makes for a better appearance as you get slimmer.

*everything above is tried and tested, and worked well for me*

[TheRaisin]

Thank you Dino! I'm gonna get on that.

Yes, losing weight is extremely important to me. This is more of a next-couple-months goal than a before-I-die goal, but since other people are mentioning it, so will I.

[Shinjara]

- Maybe slim down a little, by a little I mean maybe 1 stone in weight. (I'm currently 11 stone and I really don't want it to increase in the future)

- Do the best I can in childcare, hopefully become a leader of a daycare nursery.

-Gain more confidence, this is important for me personally.

-I've already got 2 tattoos, but I'd hope for maybe a few more in the years to come.

- Be as happy as I can be

Thats all I think. Pretty softcore compared to other peoples dreams.

[ANN NEELY]

Ok, allow me to introduce my NEW and IMPROVED list. Because I'm completely demented and creepy now.
1. Beat AO and AE
2. Become a professional Manga artist/comic maker
3. Become a Witch
4. Get another Rat
5. Learn to use a bow and arrow
6. Stomp on the school bully till he crys for his mama
7. Paint my nails black and file them into points
8. Get green contacts
9. Get married, don't have kids, and live a fairly normal life in a fairly peaceful place
10. Take over Terre Haute, Indiana
11. Drink Human blood

[TheRaisin]

Ann, the things you say. Heh heh heh. Question, though: Why Terre Haute? Other than having an awesome French name, what's so special about it?

[ANN NEELY]

Ann, the things you say. Heh heh heh. Question, though: Why Terre Haute? Other than having an awesome French name, what's so special about it?

The Many Advantages of Terre Haute, Indiana:
1. It is not in Micronesia
2. It's name starts with an 'I' and ends with an 'A'
3. It has two 'N's in it's name, and this is always good luck
4. There are no Gila Monsters there, nor are there the nephews of Lee Iacocca or anyone named Matthew Perry
5. It's zip code is 47801
6. It's houses are made of bricks and the ground is made of dirt.
7. It was either founded in 1954 by a gigantic talking tree named Stuart or was built in just over three weeks by a team of crocodiles, all named Penelope and all lovers of sorbet.
8. It's the Giraffe capital of the Mid-West!

2. It's name starts with an 'I' and ends with an 'A'

So does Iowa, but heck I sure as hell wouldn't want to live there.

I wouldn't mind living in Ithaca though.

[Leto]

Heh. Sorry but that's not true. You can't lose years of built up fat by just going on hunger strike for a week. David Blaine went on hunger strike for bloody ages and at the end of it he hadn't visably lost that much weight at all. He was just in a really shitty state.

Mabye I'm just a freak. And it is still working. I eat like, once a week, and it works. I do P.E, naturally. So that helps. I don't really get hungry, so go figure...

Another on the list of things to do...

-Tell Abe Guy that sligslinger is an 'inactive' member.
-Be tutored by Muse's lead guitarist (I'm hopeful, damnit... )
-Further my programming skills (Hey, I'm learning DarkBasic, I aint even trying C++ again...)

[Alcar]

My ambitions to complete before I perish:

• Make it into University
• Get into a good Psychology Firm
• Backstab and sleep my way to the top of the firm

I know it seems pretty limited, but this very detailed plan spans a few years

Alcar...

[Facsimile]

sleep my way to the top of the firm

I've got to become a part of that firm.

And it seems everyone here wants to lose weight, while I on the other hand would like to gain it.

[Alcar]

You wouldn't like the quacks

And I guess I wouldn't mind shedding one or two kilograms, but I'm more interested in a balanced tan. I've had 'sunbake in backyard' scribbled in my diary for weeks now. As I am caucasian, naturally I am white. But living in Australia for your whole life means you will have a tan - unless you've been living under a rock. Coupled with my recent lack of sport, and overdoseage of the sun without sunscreen, I have *gasp* The dreaded 'School tan'.

Defintion: School Tan
The acquisition of a tanlines which follow the outlines of the School uniform, thus unmasking your ability to only appear at School during the daylight hours.

How cruel the sun is.

Alcar...

[Dino]

Pfft, you are WAY too self conscious.

[AquaticAmbi]

And it seems everyone here wants to lose weight, while I on the other hand would like to gain it.

Umm.. *raises hand* I'd also like to gain weight. Reaching 100 lbs. would be nice.

Some other goals off the top of my head in no partocular order:
~Get into some great college that captures my heart
~Earn enough scholarships and financial aid to actually attend that college
~Go into the field of marine biology
~Live completely on my own for a while
~Marry the love of my life
~Have the family I've always dreamed of
~Not turn out like either of my parents
~Become an advanced scuba diver
~Experience some amazing miracle type thing
~Travel to Australia, perhaps even live there
~Dive and snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef, Florida Keys, and Bahamas
~Contribute to some significant, scientific discovery
~Overcome some of my irrational fears... like riding on a plane.
~Decorate my future house unconventially with lots of colorful, wacky stuffs

I'll probably think of something else later, but I've made the list long enough.

[tentacle_orgy]

Become one with the Beast within, and learn to reveal my true carnal form, a crude mixture of beast and man...

[oddguy]

~Not turn out like either of my parents

Ditto! Extreme Ditto! Well, that mostly applies to my dad...

Wow...it's interesting to look at my old goal list I posted in this thread and see how it has changed some. Allow me to revise it.

OLD LIST:

• Start my own company Yes

• Orginize an OWF Convention... That would be fun, but not on the top of my list.
  
  Now for some additions...
  
• Move out of the house
