So Moody's post about bucket list restaurants made think of my own personal bucket list. I found some old notebooks from five to ten years ago, and it's neat to see what I've crossed off so far from those lists:
- saw six bands on my "ultimate concert" list, including No Doubt, Joan Jett, and "a full set of Ben Folds" (not accomplished until show #4, actually)
- met Ben Folds and wrote a fan letter to Francesca Lia Block
- went to New York and California
- bought Fear of Pop (really, 18 year old self? that took five minutes on Amazon)
- formed a band that performed in front of people
- wrote for a music magazine
- finished a screen play
- worked as a baker (this was actually a goal of mine in elementary school. I sorta kinda did this for six month, and it wasn't enjoyable)
- "make money from making a movie." Granted it was third place in a film festival, but it still counts, dammit.
- made a speech that "people really liked."
- played Columbia in Rocky Horror
- thanked my two favorite authors for writing my two favorite books
- used "Buddy Holly" in my wedding
- "Fight Nazis" - I'm sure that goal was written with a literal sense (as in face-punching), though the actual action was more peaceful and legal.
- "learn to like Bob Dylan"
- learned to swim, not awesomely but enough not to drown
