Supposed to be studying but instead I am reading flist and rewatching Chasing Liberty, I am completely in love with Matthew Goode's voice yum :)

I'm loving my new LJ layout but noticed my tags have disapeared, anyone have any idea on how I get them back?

Just rewatching the bungee jumping scene and it got me to thinking about the list I made before I turned 30, unimaginatively titled, things I want to do before I'm 30, most of my ambitions were very mundane (for anyone who would like to know full list is below under the cut) and I managed every single one (although not all by the deadline), except for the parachute jump, which I chickened out of, so I decided to do it for charity, and then again chickened out of it. I am now thinking of doing it to raise money for touching tiny lives a premature baby charity and think this may be the push to finally get t done as premature babies is a big cause with me, as Robert was so premature, so I am thinking of booking it for June/July.

Of course when I told darling hubby about this he burst into hysterical laughter, looked at my ankle with the damaged tendons and said honey you cant survive a fall from 4 inch heels, what chance do you have with a parachute.

But it got me to thinking. I cant be the only one out there, what about you guys, what is your number one unfulfilled ambtion, and are you still determined to do it?

<b><u>Things to do before I turn 30</b></u>

Settle in a job I actually enjoy.
Get Married
Have a baby
Go to Rome and see the Vatican
See Notre Dame
Write one piece of original fiction
Read at least ten new classic novels
Start my literature degree
Do a parachute jump
Meet David Boreanaz
Go on a shopping spree for a day and buy whatever I want without looking at a single price tag
Learn to draw

Mags

Threaded | Flat

My goals are all pretty mundane also. I made a list from a '101 things in 1001' meme I found here on lj about a year ago, but promptly forgot alla bout it until I decided to make some New Year's Resolutions this year. Now I have both lists on sticky, so we'll see what I can manage to tick off.

I have no ambitions really. At least few with a deadline other than before I die. When I turn 40 I want to go on the Meggido dig, but I think that's been veto'd. For that (in case world peace breaks out) I'd like to be in shape, so lose the remaining 15 pounds and quit smoking.

See various cities of interest.

Drive to Vegas and take a month to do it.

S'about it.

My two main ambitions are to break into a career in writing, and to road trip through every state of America!

Having said that, someone once gave me a book of 101 things to do before you die, and considering I'm only 19 I've probably acheived more of the 101 things than most people twice my age!!!

And you should totally have a go at skydiving! I've only got so far as abseiling myself, but it looks like a lot of fun!!!
