My 144... Minus about 100

In my "Into the Woods" blog entry, Curious_Blondie (I'm not exactly sure who this is... Jenny?) made a comment about my 144 saying that if I posted my ideas for my 144, people would have a better idea of what to suggest. So, here is no particular order is my incomplete 144 (which is more like a complete 40 or so):

-revisit St. Philip's Cathedral in Atlanta GA

-figure out the meaning of the Rose Window in aforementioned Atlanta cathedral

-go to all 50 states

-write a play/skit and have it performed

-go to a Waffle House

-go to the Globe Theater

-go to Belgium and find my family roots

-read the 100 best books of all time

-bike around Lake Bemidji

-read the entire Bible

-be in a charity bike race

-sleep (yes, sleep) on top of the world's biggest organism (and it's in WA... this I do know)

-find true love

-buy a dozen roses for Mum on Valentine's Day

-break a Nalgene bottle (Joe, you might have to help me on this one)

-make a work of art worth displaying

-make a working website (um, Mike? little help)

-go to the Vatican

-take a dance/yoga class

-go to a glacier

-be comfortable on my head (tripod, headstand, crow... for the work the crow takes, it's close enough!)

-go to daily mass for a week straight

-gamble and come out winning (and although I did get a winning ticket as a grad gift, I'd like to put my money on the line... I at least want to try)

-fence/sword fight (hmm... there's a SCA chapter just for UM-TC)

-learn to tie a tie (well, I've learned before, but I forgot--besides, I never got good at it)

-help build a house

-learn to swing dance

-be bilingual

-learn another instrument

-fall asleep on the beach

-learn to cook

-befriend someone I don't like

-compose a musical piece

-go to a casino (see? even if I don't win, I'm still winning)

-become independent from my parents (obviously, I have a ways, and several years of college, to go)

-do a heroic act

-see the Northern Lights

-go in every time zone

-have something of mine published

-watch a sunset with someone I love (hmm... I just got the thought to make that "watch a sunrise and sunset of the same day with someone I love")

-work for/in a film

Okay, so that's what I have so far, so as you can tell, I have a long way to go. Yeah, feel free to send me ideas/addresses of other people's lists/etc. TTEL, take care and God bless!

P.S. I had my first peach at JJ's--in the form of ice cream. Cold Stone ice cream, as a matter of fact, and it was quite delicious! :-) Mmmmmm...
