herewiss13So a couple years ago, I went to a small get-together hosted by my brother in which we all sat down and generated life goals, a set of fairly whimsical things we wanted to accomplish...someday. Some, needless to say, were a lot more feasible than others.
So, while I was in D.C. visiting my Brother (the day I got there, actually), he held another goal-party. It was fun. There were even a couple people who'd been at the last one here in Eugene.
And now, holding to tradition, I give you
1) Turn my new apartment into a library
2) Invest in and Ride the Space Elevator
3) Play more chess
4) Play with otters
5) Complete NaNoWriMo...eventually
6) Cook
7) Get an electric car/bicycle
8) Ride inside a robot
9) Stick fight
10) Get my collection catalogued
11) Dance more
12) Sail between Polynesian islands in a traditional craft
13) Solar sail
14) Stilt walk
15) Find someone to wake up next to consistently
16) Get out more
17) Get myself genetically modified
18) Use a jetpack
19) Conduct rainforest research from a blimp
20) Sculpt with chainsaw
21) Get back into the upper echelons of the theater hierarchy
22) Be the life of the party, once...just to get it over with
23) Get back to out-doing Damon
24) Graduate
25) Figure out what comes after Graduation
26) Become debt free, stay debt free, shun credit of all kinds
27) Lecture
28) Ride an elephant
29) Participate in a paleontological dig...but a big cool one, not a lame one with thousands of microscopic teeth in the middle of the desert.
30) Legitimize cryptozoology
31) Mine an asteroid, become rich
32) Build my own trebuchet, launch large appliances at flimsy targets
33) Become a file-sharing maven
34) Be a romantic lead, just once, for the duet
35) Menage et trois
36) Write reviews
37) Weld
38) Slip valium to Damon
39) Use time travel to introduce modern knowledge to the past; revolutionize civilization
40) Become an established and distinctive Blogger
41) Beat the crap out of someone
42) Distill for fun
43) Try D&D
44) Become a Pun-Off Champion
45) Get invited to the sort of parties where Kiss-Tackle-Rugby type activities take place
46) Get back into the dating scene
47) Date someone verifiably smarter than me.
48) Get topped.
49) Own a Segway
50) Live to see progressive/modernists take control of all three branches of government.
Intinerary/review of the trip as a whole to follow.
