Badass Nerds Just Wanna Have Fun

Day 10: 10 Things You Want To Do Before You Die
 I'm going to avoid references to the Bucket List. Just because I think the term "kick the bucket" is the lamest thing since My Little Pony.
That's right, Morgan Freeman.
 But anyway, things I want to do before I die. More specifically, things I want to do before I get old and decrepit. Since I plan on living to 150, at least.


Travel
I'm Pretty sure this is the biggest one for everyone. Seeing the world outside of where you live is the most substantial pre-death achievement. Japan is my number one destination, followed by various places in Europe and South America. Maybe even Canada, we'll see. When my financial life is under control, I'll probably plan a trip to another country every year or two.


Live on my own for at least a year. 
I mean live completely by myself. While hanging out with friends brings me much joy, sometimes I have just as big a need for solitude. At times, sharing a house with anyone can make me feel stressed and crowded. Sharing a room would probably be even worse. Having a whole place to furnish, decorate and be in charge of is a must, just to see how it feels.


Own/ride a motorcycle.
I just get this itch of jealousy whenever I see someone weave through traffic on a sweet motorcycle. They cost extra to own/maintain/insure, but most of these resolutions imply that I'll be making enough money to handle it. Plus I would feel like a total badass on one. Mine would be small since I'm small, most likely a Kawasaki Ninja (the same model from Kill Bill).

Have an EPIC wedding.
Some serious shit would have to go down before I'm ready to commit to anyone like that, but I plan on getting married ONCE, and only once. This means it would have to be one legendary occasion. Whether it take place in Vegas, Mexico, or the moon. 


Have a "Hangover" style Trip to Vegas.
You know, without the roofies. This night would probably be my bachelorette party, but maybe not. It could be someone else's bachelorette party, or just a night of debauchery for the hell of it. Either way, it won't be complete unless we wake up with a dangerous animal in the bathroom.


Go to San Diego Comicon.
Basically, it's Mecca for Nerdy people. For the full experience I'll need an epic costume. I've already got a to-do list of autographs to get, most importantly Jhonen Vasquez. Once I've done all this I can proclaim myself a "nerd" without feeling like a poser.
Someone's gotta do it.
Get more tattoos/piercings.
Obviously. I love the creativity involved in getting a tattoo, and making it something entirely your own. Tattoos are important things because you will never lose them. When a tattoo turns out perfectly, I'm incredibly proud. Piercings and bodymods are in my future because they are metal, and I'm pretty fucking obsessed with metal. I don't think I'll stop until I qualify as bionic.


Join the Mile High Club.
I got this idea from my roommate. And personally, fuck yes. Here's some more information. Also, check the "see also" section. That's going on the list.


Entertain myself with a bunch of near-death experiences.
Skydiving, swimming with sharks, the basics. I plan to do several dangerous things for the thrill of it. I'd pretty much pretend that I'm Bella Swann, and Edward just dumped my ass.


Have a really kickass garden.
This is one of my girlier aspirations. Even if I only end up living in an apartment, I want to have space for lots of plants. Ideally with tons of flowers, as I have a really lame weakness for them. I also had a pumpkin patch as a little girl, and I'd love to get one started again.

  1. I lol'd when you said you'd pretend to be Bella after Edward dumped your ass. Well done.
