Things I want to do before I die

1. Build a really awesome house to live in. Something really different, and beautiful, with secret passages.

2. Go spelunking somewhere really deep into the earth, where you have to swim in places, too.

3. Visit every state in the US. Preferably in a truck, living in it, no hotels, maybe a hammock for nice nights, sleep in the back of the truck if it rains.

4. Figure out what I should be doing with my life. =P

5. Get really good at carpentry and painting, because actually I think redoing an already made house could be really fun, too. Maybe do that before I have enough money to build my own house.

6. Learn how to make really beautiful stained glass.

7. Learn to trust people more and learn to open up to people better.

8. Get married and have a big happy family with full of kids and pets and love. They say houses filled with love have elastic walls, after all. I really believe that. And I really really hope I have twins.

9. See as much of the world as I can. I would really like to trace the route Phinneas Fogg took in Around the World in Eighty Days. He was my hero for a long time.

10. Make maps again for countries and populate them with fantastic animals and people like I used to. That was so much fun, I want to find time for that again. Then maybe write stories about them.

11. Spend some time traveling in a train. I once met some people who owned a caboose and would hook up to trains randomly for vacations and get pulled around with the train and see where they ended up. I want to do that so bad. I also want to live on a boat for a while, and an island.

12. Go in one of those cages where they feed Great White Sharks to make them come up close to you in the ocean.

Probably more later, I just started thinking about this.
