Due to the recent string of deaths in celebrities, I wondered what I wanted to accomplish before I meet my grave. And I honestly don't know, but what about you guys? I know some of you already have your own family or just starting some. Some of you just got into college or just getting out. Some of you are like me, and are still in High school. So I wanted to know what you wanted to accomplish before the Grim Reaper comes for you.

Well, finding out what I want to accomplish would be a nice start...

Well here is a small list,
Getting my Inu Yasha Costume for next Sakura Con to get finished,
Getting my Pre-reg membership for Sakura Con paid,
Getting my satelight receiver so I can watch TV,
and get my DVD's caught up.

Only one thing...
To be Halle Berry's towel. That's it.
If not that, then continue to be successful and hopefully raise a nice family.
But I'd rather be Halle's towel...

I want one of two things:
To be a United States Marine.
Or
To make a movie, that after seeing, people said "That was a good movie."
If I accomplish one of those in my lifetime I will be supremely satisfied.
I'd also like a family. Right now that doesn't seem so important to me though.

As much as I can. How much that'll be, I dunno since I'm starting to drive.

I have nothing I want to accomplish before I die. I have done everything in my life that I have always wanted to. When something new is knocking at my door I will open it, but for now I do not let life pass me by. I am kind of tired, but my stomach hurts too much too sleep so if that did not make sense totally, like there you go! :p

Well, I would like to play professional softball (I would have loved to play in the Olympics, but softball won't be in the Olympics by the time I'm old enough to do it). I guess in some ways I'd like to be recognized as a good female athlete and respected. Otherwise, I don't really know.

Easy: Happiness, or the closest thing to it I can find. That goes for things on the family front (a wonderful wife, a couple of kids a few years later, and lotsa love to go around), and a career that I'm excited to be a part of (film, writing, journalism, advertising). Any of these things would be great.

To destroy as much as possible without killing anybody. Ironically, the story of my life has been inverted, in that everyone tries to destroy as much about me as possible without actually killing me. It's funny, so I actually don't complain about it.
Later.

Sell at least one book.
Be happy.

At the present moment, I'd like to actually graduate from college and get people to read my fiction. Everything else (make peace with my parents, get the girl of my dreams, etc) is already done.

Be an actress, a successful one. Whether that means being a celebrity, I dunno, just wanna be in a movie that doesn't bomb in the box-office.
get my BA, then my MA, then my PhD, and then become a professor and my university and teach english lit and medieval english. (wow that's nerdy!)
Find someone.....and right now I have a much better chance of getting the first two done before this! that's kinda depressing...

I'm not sure I really have any specific goals or ambitions. I've never clung to one dream that I've always hoped to live out. I just kinda take it as it comes.
I don't have any career in mind, and I've never really cared about being a "success," so professional dreams are out.
I guess I'd like to find a "special someone." To say that my "romantic life" has been lackluster would be an understatement of grand proportions. I definitely think that if I was able to connect with someone that my life would feel a lot more complete.
Maybe I'd even like to have kids someday. I really like kids, and I (would like to) think that I could do a good job in teaching a child how to be a good person.
At this point in my life, I'm a bit too cynical to think that I could make a great impact on the world. However, I do like to think that I make an effort to make those around me a bit happier. Perhaps I think a bit too small.
I realize that I'm rambling a bit, and I apologize for that. I've actually thought about this a good deal in the past, though, and the fact that I don't really have any future in mind is a bit distressing.
