Bucket list

Whilst watching the film Water For Elephants (brilliant, Rob Patterson look fine as always) there was a specific line said that really jumped out at me; "you're a beautiful woman, you deserve a beautiful life". Before you ask, this is not an incliantion that I think that I am a "beautiful woman" (nor do I think I am ugly, I'd say a very happy average), as I've already said I do not plan to make this blog about asthetics of me, or of anyone else (unless of course in an angry rage I end up venting about people which usually inclines some below-the-belt insults about them or whatever), however it really did make me think. It made me think about life and what I want to do. Not career goals or lifetime achievements or about starting a family, although of course naturally I have them, I made me think about the small things that I would like to accomplishe in my lifetime, the things that in decades to come I can sit around and tell my grandchildren that will inspire them to follow their own paths as they grow up, without worring about taking the wrong turn - I just hope they never forget their maps... So here is my top 5 list so far:
  • drugs - no, this is not a drugs promo, and I mean rest assure that it will not be any sort of habbit - I'd like to think that I have enough will power or whatever - however how many stories have you heard that started "so this one time we we eating a salad..."? None? Exactly. I'm not saying that the only way to have a good time is to do drugs, however I am saying that it can open your mind to new things, so why the fuck not?
  • travel - yes, I appreciate that this is stereotypical however I don't mean it in the way of picking someplace magical that you've always wanted to visit, I mean it in the way of taking the first plane or train to anywhere: they to can be maigcal, it all depends on perspective.
  • learn how to fly a plane - just because really, I don't think that there is any explination needed...
  • break a world record - undecided on which one if I'm honest, there's has been little research done into this, I just thought it'd be an intresting thing to do (feel free to comment any ideas)
  • do some chairty work - this summer, me and one of my best friends made little thread bracelets to sell for charity. It took us 2 full days to make 50 - credit where credit's due, it take determination to sit and plait pieces of thread together, putting beads on as you go for this amount of time - and went around our neighbourhood selling them. We made a total of £48 ($74.84) and took it to the local cancer research charity. It was a small contribution  however it felt amazing, and totally assured me how good it would make me feel to help others.

p.s thankyou to whoever reads my blogs - you amazing people! x x x
