So, what are some things that you've always wanted to do? Like, maybe things that you've had sitting on the backburner in your mind for a while, ideas that you've entertained for a while, or even things that you have planned out. Even things that you think you probably can't do but wanna do anyway.

Me? Well, I've got many things I've wanted to do, but as of this moment, the one that's most on the surface of my mind is searching for buried treasure somewhere, hopefully with friends. Even if it's something worthless I find, I'd still enjoy the hunt.

But the one thing I want to do above all else is to travel anywhere and everywhere. If I had to scale it down, then I'd say a cross-country road trip all around the U.S., seeing sights spectacular, meeting new people, seeing the good, the bad, and (of course) the ugly, and the beautiful. There's so much diversity even within my own country that I want to see it all with my own eyes. I want to see it all, experience it all, just to know in general.

Of course, I don't have the time or money to do this as of now, being nothing but a broke college student, but I at least want to do it after I get out of college. Let it be known that I don't just want to do something small (as you can probably tell). When I say I want to see it all, I mean all. This is something that could potentially take many years, and I'd love to spend several uninterrupted years doing this. And, if I have people who want to accompany me, I'd like that too, though I don't know who'd want to do this to the extreme I'd like to.

Seconding traveling around. I want to go to the majestic castles of Europe and Oxford University, among other places.

Someday, I hope to create a defictionalization of Vectorman himself! (Probably won't happen unfortunately.)

Also of note is to get a job, complete college, and head to Canada.

Traveling is definitely up there for me as well. I'm pretty lucky to have visited about half of Europe, but I want to see more. I don't have any particular places planned out right now, but I generally gravitate towards colder places. But as long as it's not the desert, I'd pretty much go anywhere. I love to explore big cities, or wander around smaller towns or just laze about somewhere near the sea.

I also want to try scuba diving in the sea. I did get the opportunity twice before, this year and the last, but none of the friends I was on holiday with were willing to try, and I did't want to be alone in the group. :/

please don't capitalize my handle. I just don't like it.

1. Leave Wales forever.
2. Make an RPG game.
3. Build a Lego city, complete with an area with police and army versus gangsters.
4. Hug a pug.
5. Go to space.

My main problem is that I am poor and unskilled...

A while ago, I made a list of fun things I'd like to do in Chicago before I move to another state. I may have done some of them before, but I would like to do them again before the change of scenery. :)

1. Depending on the season, a walk in the Botanical Gardens.

2. Dinner at Carson’s.

3. Dinner at the Stagecoach Steakhouse up in Wisconsin.

4. One last drink at the Wooden Nickel.

5. Visit to the Lincoln Park and Brookfield Zoos (not in the same day, of course).

6. Visit to Medieval Times (since they announce their guests’ birthdays, I wonder if they announce going-away parties as well?)

7. Visit to the Bristol Renaissance Fair.

8. Visit to the Field Museum.

9. Visit to the Museum of Science & Industry.

10. Visit to the Shedd Aquarium (just as long as it’s not the Holiday Fanta-Sea show. To be fair, the tricks with the marine animals were pretty impressive, but the relentlessly cheerful Christmas stuff and cheesy costumes left me yearning for the worldly cynicism of Barney the Dinosaur)

11. Visit to the House on the Rock.

Free fall parachute jumping. Not static line jumping if that can be avoided at all, and not tandem jumping either. If the guy or gal you are hooked up to is a biff, it is a terrible way to die.

I will never ever get to do the jump I would most like to do, that being HALO. Five miles straight fucking down.

Here's a long list. If it is too long, I apologize.

  • Make an RPG. I'm working on one at the moment, but a virus forced me to restart.
  • Make an Adventure Game Studio game. I probably should, too.
  • Get a sword. Probably the most impossible thing at the moment, seeing as swords are generally useless nowadays.
  • Beat the entire Unova Pokémon League using one Pokémon. Seriously, though, that'll be hard.
  • Destroy my worst enemies (the Emuparadise forums, for attempting to spam my forums)
  • Make a character for Little Fighter 2. So hard...
  • Learn German. I know too little German!
  • Live long enough to witness the first real Pokémon being created by genetic engineering or whatever. :P
  • Create a good song for a Cave Story mod
  • Finish all my Cave Story mods
  • Eat ice cream and pizza (pretty expensive for the poor)
  • Overcome my fears (somehow)
  • Memorize 75 raised to the power of 10.
  • Witness Pokémon Black 3 and White 3 (chances: 5% because I dreamt of it)
  • Witness a sixth Pokémon generation
  • Get a flute so that I can horribly annoy others that annoy me >:P
  • Remain a loner (in other words, never go out with anyone, never get married, etc)
  • Get 1000 posts at the Cave Story Tribute Site Forums in a careful way (not getting banned)
  • Get 2500 posts at the Mossmouth Forums (2104 as of this post)
  • Get 500 posts at the Little Fighter Empire Forums without getting a warning or a ban
  • Get at least 5000 posts at the SCS Forums (hey, I'm the admin there, I can do what I want)
  • Get more awesome games
  • Finish Dragon Age: Origins with [i]all[/i] character classes (yes, I know that's an 18+ game, for some reason my parents allow me to play it)
  • Don't get resurrected by a necromancer (ha ha, necromancers don't exist, but this one [i]INCLUDES[/i] nightmares and dreams)
  • Get over my habit of apologizing for things that don't need apologizing
  • Think of more things to add here

That's about 27 things that I want to do/see/whatever before I die.
