Loads of stuff
but I'm a lazy cunt so it's unlikely I'll get round to any of them. Though I am 100% determined to do some proper parachuting

I've made my list
and so far I've done two things on it. And they were things that I had already done before I made the official list.

One of them was to make a 1000 origami cranes and I've just made number 8 a minute ago.

what else is on your list?
I'm not a fan of any of that swimming with dolphins etc stuff. So my list will be comprised of grumpiness and slightly bizarre things

It's pretty long
Well, obviously. I can put it in full here or I could mention some choice ones?
(, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 14:06, Reply)
whichever is easiest
put on the ones you really want to do, and I'll try and think up a few

Ok
Learn to swingdance - Applebite and I are going to do this when she comes back to Manchester. We haven't decided who is going to be the butch one yet.

Learn to sail
Rollerblade
Buy a one way plane ticket
Eat sushi in Japan
Go to a drive in movie theatre
See some extreme weather in person
Surf in Hawaii
See a geyser blow

do we have drive in movie places in England ?

(, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 14:23, Reply)
no
there aren't even that many left in the US I don't think. Aus apparently has one left.

that's a really nice list
makes mine feel a bit grey

thanks
I've got a full 100 but Wiggy has only made it to 23. One of them is 'build something from wood that's not shit' - bless.
(, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 14:29, Reply)
a drive in movie theatre!
I'm a fucking genius
(, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 14:33, Reply)
yeah I'm sure Wiggy could build one of them
he hasn't even made a spice rack.

I think the weather is the main reason we can't have nice things.
(, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 14:39, Reply)
A 100?!
You must have spent fucking ages on that list haha.

I've so far got:

Visit Pompeii
Not get stabbed on a New York subway while in New York
Parachute jump
Finish novel
participate in a proper rowing event (and all attendent fitness implications etc)
eat at The Fat Duck (I'm always too broke)
(, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 14:41, Reply)
Pompeii is incredible.
I love the House of the Faun.
(, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 15:00, Reply)
Welcome to the House of Faun
hehe

That was both a "lol" and a "facepalm"

(, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 15:26, Reply)
you had best get cracking
unless Wiggy builds you one

edit - what Amberl said, nice list.

Sorry
I'm sorry, I don't know where that came from.
(, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 14:40, Reply)
I think I like it
I have never come across a style like it before. I am just over half way and will finish it tonight. I understand what they say about the poetry and prose things now.
(, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 14:31, Reply)
haha
that sounded uncertain. It is very unusual
(, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 14:37, Reply)
I think I like it because it's so different to anything I've read before
I need to finish it first.
(, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 14:51, Reply)
Blatantly you'd be the butch
I've done rollerblading, and seen a geyser blow, but the rest of the list is lovely.
My list would include:
Go surfing
Visit Japan
Drive across America
(, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 14:33, Reply)
Ah well now,
we clearly have to have a surf bash if it's going to fulfill one of your life ambitions.
(, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 14:43, Reply)
I've got the driving across America one
here's 80 - 90
80. Tie a note to a balloon and let it go
81. Ice skate at Central Park at Christmas
82. Buy a lottery ticket
83. See a shooting star
84. Do the Trans-Siberian Express journey
85. Drink rum in the Caribbean
86. Get drunk on real absinthe
87. See a burlesque show
88. Learn to fight
89. See the Monaco Grand Prix
90. Go to a monster truck rally
91. Do the 365 photo challenge

I tried to put specific ones involving countries to save space like eating sushi in Japan, I've never eaten sushi so I put the two together.

snap on 84
I was supposed to go this summer, but didn't have the money
(, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 14:45, Reply)
Apparently it's dreadful
but I still want to!
(, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 14:53, Reply)
same
I reckon it'd be fun, but you'd have to take a lot of booze along
(, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 14:55, Reply)
82. is surely very very easy
84 my mates have done, they were bored rigid.
87... I've kinda done, it was more a couple of burlesque performances at a tattoo convention.
88 is vague, but I've done a bit of martial arts so that's that one checked.

I want to learn self defence specifically because I walk all over the place
so it would be sensible to know how to defend myself.

I meant to buy a lottery ticket when I turned 16, but truth be told, I don't know how to do it. I know that sounds silly, but I hate not knowing what I'm doing, so I didn't want to hold up a queue of people by asking the cashier. I put it on the list because otherwise I'll just never get round to it. Not everything on my list is "travel to the other side of the world" kind of stuff, I wanted to put manageable things on there too.
(, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 14:57, Reply)
Sensible
I might spend this afternoon working on a list.
(, Mon 16 Aug 2010, 14:58, Reply)
I'll stick my full list at the bottom of this thread
It's well over its 100 replies limit so hopefully it won't get in people's way. They're just fighting about drugs down there anyway.

Cheers!

I'll have this done by Christmas with you lot helping

81 is really nice
I was about 16 so 12 years ago. I was thinking it would be wanky but it wasn't. It is honestly the last time I can remember christmas feeling christmasy.

Sailing isn't too hard
If you live anywhere near water anyway.

My dad's a sailor
but I want to get proper qualifications so I can rent a yacht for a week in the med. I live near some quays so I'll be going there when I get back from Tenerife, it's only £80 for the first level.
