My own “Bucket List”

So, many months ago while I was trolling around the world of cyber I came across a brilliant site all about etiquette and manners. Yes, I do actually know what these are – I just choose not to follow them, unless it benefits me in some way. After a few weeks of lurking, I decided to join their blog tour. (Mostly so I could get more hits on my blog that didn’t involve those Playboy photos of Shawn Michaels). Here’s the deal: Each blogger is a assigned a week and gets to pick the topic for that week’s post for the thirty-odd posters.

Usually I don’t bother posting that week’s topic, but since it’s been a while since I posted, I thought I’d give it a try (and plus my week is coming up soon and I want people to write it). So, this week’s topic is What do you want to do before you die? Hence, my title: Write your own Bucket List. (ie the list of things you want to do before you kick the bucket)

So, let’s see if I can find something other than the usual bucket list activities (also, completely off topic, but my birthday is coming up next month for any interested parties looking for present ideas):

1. Get a tattoo – done x5
2. Live in a foreign country – done
3. Learn a different language – I can already swear in French, Cantonese and Welsh and know some fairly disgusting useful phrases in Hungarian. Perhaps I should learn Klingon…(note to self: Look for Klingon language lessons)
4. Sunset tour of the Egyptian pyramids
5. Trip to Disneyland before I become too old and cynical to appreciate the splendid and atmosphere of the happiest place on Earth.
6. Front row Wrestlemania tickets. (for the person who helps me cross this of my list, I will give my first born child…if you can wait that long)
7. I want to be a published author. I don’t mean internet published cos that’s already happened. I want a real book that I can sign and then send to people who said that reading millions of Mills & Boon would rot my brain and never lead anywhere.
8. I want to go to Graceland and Dollywood. No idea why, I think just to said that I’ve been.
9. I want to kiss Colin Firth. I don’t care if I have to wait until he’s ninety, he will always be Mr Darcy and I want him.

I tried to think of a number ten, but for the moment, I think I’ll just have to stick to nine. I’m sure if I thought about it hard enough I could think up a few more, but I’m sure that list has given everyone some ideas for my birthday…and I’d like to point out that when I am able to cross everything of my list, that does not mean you are able to kill me! I’d like a few years to appreciate my Mr Darcy pash…
