Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
I've been wanting to write this out for some time, and figured what better time than now to do it.
Ten Things to Do Before I Die
10. Eat really expensive French food in a really expensive French restaurant.
Ever since I was young, my mother used to tell me about her company trips to different places and how expensive the food was. "$50 dollars for a plate of appetizer!" she would say, "why are those French restaurants so darn expensive!?" I thought there was something mysterious about French food (and who wouldn't given the "exotic" likes of snales and fish eggs...). I don't care much about the taste for this one; just trying it is an achievement in itself.
9. Have make-up sex.
Uhhh....don't ask. I always thought there was something hot about making up a fight...with sex. Yeah, I'm a real pervert, bite me. Sooner or later I'm gonna have to try this one.
8. Jump off a plane/bridge/landmark.
...with some sort of attachment to my body, of course. I'm not talking about suicide here, we're not even halfway down the list. Anyway, falling off high places has always been a dream of mine, similar to flying, and I have to try it one day.
7. Kick somebody in the balls.
Yeah, THOSE balls. Just watch, boys, one of these days you'll be walking up to me and "HIYAH!", my leg will "accidentally" shoot up right to your privates. Just kidding! I actually only want to do this to rapists, theives, and murderers, and unless you belong in that category, you're safe.
6. Wear crazy looking makeup and clothing and traverse the streets.
Sometimes I just get tired of my safe makeup, safe outfits, and normal look. One these days, sometime between now and day I die, I want to wear something wild (hopefully accompanied by friends looking equally wild) and have people on the street give me ugly looks. Yeah, that would be fun...what's better than attention?
5. Get married.
...once. And only once, please. Hopefully my first marriage will be my last, I will have beautiful children, and we will live happily ever after. Or so I think.
4. Go skinny dipping in a lake in the forest.
You know that scene in Big Fish where Ewan is at some crazy town, and he sees a girl in the water in the middle of the night? I'd like to go somewhere like that and just swim (preferably with Ewan by my side...), with no clothes, no worries, and no restraints.
3. Learn how to play another musical instrument.
Anything and everything, or even get better acquainted with the cello or piano. The guitar is at the top of my list, but I definetly want to try others as well.
2. Write a short story and/or novel and/or book.
I hope that one day I will have the opportunity to write something, just for myself. I don't really care for being published, but I wish I had the time to just sit down, unwind, and write. Fiction or nonfiction, writing is just something I want to be able to do. Language is so lovely, don't you think?
1. Learn how to dance.
Not just dance, but dance right. Tango, salsa, ballroom, swing--I want it all. Despite my loathing of the ballet years, I still think ballet is a beautiful thing (but rather difficult to do compared to many other dances).
And so, with this final wish of mine, I leave you with a lovely specimen...WILL KEMP! (Professional ballet dancer, acted as the werewolf brother in Van Helsing.)
I found his dancing gap ad online and thought he was quite heavenly. Hehehe.

As I don't believe in a heaven or hell, this is the only life I've got. Hopefully years from now, I would have done something I wanted. What do YOU want to do before you die?
