What are 3-5 things that you have decided you absolutely MUST do/experience before the end of your life?
In no particular order:
1. Visit every continent and explore it as extensively as I can
2. Make as big an impact as I can in the areas of civil rights/social work. I want to be remembered as having done something that has really helped people.
3. Find true love
Those are my top ones as of now. I'll think of more later, I'm sure.
What are yours?

ahem
1) get a design or interior decorating show(the prove how easy it can be at first) then when there are some nice ratings tell everyone they shouldn't waste thier lives watching this crap and should just fix up their own house o.O(can substitute w/ realaity show and saying live your own reality.)
2)Put one or more of my overly thought out inventions into comman practice/manufacture.
3)Become a famous writer(not just award winning)
4)Make a famous program(OS or game or office thing)
5)Find a way to become more awesome/fabulous(if that's even possible)
6)(sorry I know 1 too many) Live happily forever w/ shane hopefully as a stay at home dad who write or programs as a hobby. >.>
Where my shame gland should be, there is a second awesome gland.
Don't make me practice my interior decorating on your internal organs o.O
The sky isn't the limit, it's a suggestion.
I wish I was eccentric *sigh* unfortunately I'm too crazy for euphemisms.

Ever told your child, "We'll do it tomorrow", And in your haste, not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch, let a good friendship die, cause you never had time, to call and say,'Hi'
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

I have just one (well it's kind of two in one) which I always say.
1. Work as an Interpreter for the EU and be fluent in as many languages as I can.
Maybe there are things missing, maybe I'd like to travel and fall in love and so on but I don't really know and I think if I had that everything else could sort of drop by the side and not matter any more.
Come to the edge. We might fall.
Come to the edge. It's too high!
Come to the edge, And they came,
And we pushed, And they flew.

1. Visit Laramie, Wyoming and the fence where Matthew died... I think it would be such an emotional experience.
2. Travel the world and share as many experiences as I can with my husband.
3. Get married. Like, an actual marriage. It will happen. I know it will.
4. To make a difference in this life.
5. To die without regrets, with all my loved ones beside me, and my husband holding my hand. I'll look back then and see how blessed I was to have such an amazing and loving family. To die happy, if you will.
Here’s what I know about the realm of possibility—it is always expanding, it is never what you think it is. Everything around us was once deemed impossible. From the airplane overhead to the phones in our pockets to the choir girl putting her arm around the metalhead. As hard as it is for us to see sometimes, we all exist within the realm of possibility. Most of the limits are of our own world’s devising. And yet, every day we each do so many things that were once impossible to us.

Great list, Theenerz; so many great things on there. And those goofy entries of petting llamas and visiting towns from the Twilight books. ;) Hey, it's cool; I want to visit Sunnydale, CA, but sadly it's fictional.
Seriously, though, everybody's lists are so deep and fantastic, some of you make me tear up, lol. I love all of you guys. Here's to all of us attaining every last one of our dreams, and so much more! *raises glass to toast*

lol, good luck with that one; I think I'd shoot myself! XD
But if I decide to go the route of a biology major, that's going to seem tame ... *sighs proactively* ;)
I forgot a few also; to hell with my 3-5 limit!
4. Be a foster parent
5. Publish a novel
6. Live out some of the adventures of my wildest dreams
7. Live my life without regrets.

That would be so much fun, Paige! 
We bring in gifts and printed pages of certain posts that we've made that are poignant or funny.
