You are tired, (I think) Of the always puzzle of living and doing - e.e. cummings

We've got a set amount of heartbeats we're given

It doesn't matter what age you are, everybody's got a Bucket List (and no, you don't have to be Morgan Freedman or Jack Nicholson either).

They're usually pretty much the same with everyone, following a basic pattern of:
1. a travel destination
2. doing something daring
(in my case, going to New York City and Tokyo, backpacking Europe, and hang-gliding)

What people are more reluctant to share, however, are their Secret Bucket Lists. Namely, a list of embarrassing or silly or surprising things they've always wanted to do; a list that they keep hidden inside, tucked away in the back of their minds.

And so, because I don't know the meaning of the word "secret" I am going to share my Secret Bucket List:

1. Go to Comic-con or another equally nerdy convention and actually dress up in a costume.

2. Date a man from another race (wouldn't it be racist not to? Think about it.)

3. Be a street performer for a day

4. Punch somebody (who deserves it) as hard as I can in the face

5. Visit a nudist colony (I mean, what's it really like in there??)

6. Take part in a protest or strike

7. Save a kitten from a tree (it does happen in real life, right? Right?)

8. Be an extra in a movie

9. Go for an entire day speaking in a foreign accent (*ahem* presumably British, because those accents are sexy)

10. Adopt two cats and name them Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer




So there you have it folks.
I dare you to tell somebody one thing from your Secret Bucket List. Or better yet, actually go out and get started on it.

I wrote a bucket list once, I lost it soon after. I should write another one soon.
visiting a nudist colony would actually be pretty sweet, I think that it would actually change your outlook life, even if you were just there for a day.
And number 4? That is a good one, mind if I steal it for my bucket list?

I like #9. Maybe travel somewhere where no one knows you and pretend to be british, haha. I'm absolutely horrible at accents.

I've never ever wrote down a bucket list! But I have some vague things floating round in the back of my mind that I wouldn't mind trying ;) But the whole concept scares me/depresses me.. what if 20 years from now I've only done like, 1 thing on my list.. or none. But it is a compelling idea x

Sofie said...

I do the number one on your bucket list all the time! =P
Now I feel like a total geek, haha! It's a lot of fun though, I highly recommend it! (:

also, the skirt on that green dress is great~

hi, I found your blog and I really like it. your description is very cute, and it reminds me of me. well, I made a blog today, and you're the first person I commented so far, so feal free to be flattered. no actually, just kidding.
so, I was wondering, how did you make your blog look so... organised? mine is still all messy and has an ugly design, and I would like to fix it but I don't know how!
I won't find it strange if you decide not to answer a complete stranger, but it would be great if you did! thanks! :)
