Some Things I Personally Would Like to Do Before I Die, Or At Least, Before It's Too Late and I Smell Like Mothballs

1. Attend South by Southwest.

I'm not sure how fun this would actually be, but it's one of those things that I feel like I should do, since everyone besides me seems to have done so.

2. Wear a flamenco dress.

A flamenco dress looks fun to wear. I would wear one to the store to buy groceries.

3. Live in New York, Paris, and/or San Francisco.

If all goes according to plan, that third one might be more realistic than either of its predecessor's. Oh, California College of the Arts. Accept me, would you?

4. Write a song using an accordion and a corncob pipe.

Does this one sound too intricate/eccentric?

5. Attend a red carpet event.

This one is purposefully vague, because I have a sort of fear wherein writing about things with too much detail makes it so they won't happen. I heard Stephen King has the same philosophy.

6. Sail across the Atlantic ocean.

Ever since I saw Titanic, I've had this wacky dream to sail across the Atlantic. I don't really have a preference as to what kind of boat it is, as long as it's long enough for me to lay down in and has a covered quarters, but perhaps that isn't very logical, since boat travel is obsolete.

7. Speak at a BlogHer convention.

It's far-fetched, I know.

8. Have a son, name him Milo Anthony. optional: Have other son, name him Henry Bradbury.

This will probably not last as a thing I would like to do. Probably, by the time I'm actually growing a second human inside me, I'll be very much over these interesting names and instead opt for something like Tyler, Cole, or Dawson. Especially if I stay in Utah. Yipe!

9. Graduate college with a major in Illustration.

I don't know how to explain this one.

10. Visit all 50 states, or at least, the important ones.

This is part of me wanting to spend the better part of my youth touring as part of an indie-acoustic musical act. More things will involve this, I promise you.

11. Play on Saturday Night Live.

See, I told you.

12. Marry a man who provides for my life what I can't.

It will probably be a long, long time before this even begins to happen.

13. Have a Wikipedia page that is 89% accurate.

I'm one of those people who occasionally Googles themselves only to find my blog, which is sad and kind of tragic. One day I hope to find a few more links that don't belong to me.

14. Share lunch with one of my idols.

Most of them being deceased, this may prove to be difficult.

15. Find something wonderful in the mailbox.

I open up the mailbox one afternoon to find a stack of polaroids long forgotten, delightful old memories. Or to find a great deal on pizzas and a new Mazda.
