Hey Dani (:
I think this is a really interesting thread, you're right, everyone has something and I think it'll be pretty awesome to hear what everyone has to say, so thanks for posting this (:
For me there's a couple of things...
There's someone I really want to meet. She knows who she is. And that same person, I want to take her to Porth Kidney Sands and let her watch sunrise over Godrevy light house and then in the same day take her to Porthmeor and let her watch sundown... its honestly the most beautiful thing in the world and every time I see it my faith in existance and epiphany and humanity is restored. I want that for her.
Also, I want to go home, when I work out where home is I'll let you know. But one day I want to be somewhere and think... y'know what? I'm home, I'm really home.
Okay thats way too deep for one day, but there you go (:

Hey Dani
I'd like to be able to ride every rollercoaster in the world before I died. I'd also like to eat the biggest steak in the whole world (medium rare of course )

I'd love to travel the world before I die. Mainly Europe but I'd love to see every landmark and every place that has some sort of interesting story behind it. I think it would be really interesting. :]

before i die i want to fall in love with someone who loves me.
i want to spread the truth, and lead multiple people to God.
i want to open a business for teens who need help.
not a place they have to go, a place they want to go.
a place where they can go when in times of trouble,
without it being called "running away."
i want to sing and act in a musical.
not even in a movie.
just a musical for the town would be fine with me.
i want to be someone that people can trust and rely on, no matter what.
i want them to know that i'm always there.
i want to change someone's life. for the best.
but most of all, i want to be happy.
When you can't find your way home,
and when life gets too hard to face on your own.
I will stand as a light through the darkness unknown,

Oh, good one!
Hm... I'm going to see the world (Or at least part of it)... Mostly Russia and North America, but also Namibia, India, Australia, Chile, Norway, Nepal....
I'm going to learn to speak English properly.
I'm going to read Dostojevskij in Russian.
I'm going to live in England.
I'm going to live in Berlin.
I'm going to write a book... or at least try.
I'm going to have a dog.
I'm going to love him forever, but that's somewhat of a given...
I'm going to pass on all that love and affection certain people gave me.
I'm going to tell my friends what they mean to me.
I'm going to smoke a joint on some beach in Holland. (That will be the first and only time for me to do drugs).
I'll tell a lot of stories.
I'll remember those I've lost already.

I'm not really an ambitious person in the sense that I want to travel the world or climb mountains or anything, I just hope to get a job that I'd enjoy that involves my creativity where I don't feel unaccomplished (maybe author, something in video game development, etc.). I just pray that I never get a desk job :/

Seriously... If its one of those cute little bookstores where everythings just kinda thrown together and so real, compared to waterstones, smiths etc... I might actually move in.
There's one in my town and I kinda live there. Partly because the woman who owns it makes awesome coffee and partly because she lends me books :P
This is such an awesome thread, its really amazing to hear all the things you guys want to do one day

I wanna have BABIES! But that's some time from now (hopefully!), haha. I'd also like to own my own home, completely paid off. I want to learn to speak French fluently, and also American Sign Language. Uhm... I want to go to France and Japan. And I want to have confidence in myself. There you go- life goals.

When all your friends have come and gone,
And the sun no longer shines,
And the happiness for which you long is washed away like an ocean's tide,
When all the hard times outweigh the good,
And all your words are misunderstood,
When the day seems lost from the start
You must follow your heart,
You must follow your heart.

I actually have a list of 50 things I want to do, but heres a snapshot:
I want to get married in lapland in a massive dress, with my best friend giving me away. I then want to adopt a kid and see them do well in school. I want to go to every continent for at least a week. And I want to buy a house with a graveyard in the garden .
faith is a bluebird that you see from afar
it is real and as sure as the first evening star
can't touch it, or buy it, or lock it up tight
but its there just the same
making things turn out right

2. Finish the story I've been writing for the past 4 years

There's probably more but I don't really know anymore at the moment.

Interesting...
I want to save a life, but not in a grand gesture. I want to work as a research scientist making vaccines and saving millions of people around the globe. Ok, maybe unrealistic, but if I can help somebody by utilising my very privileged education, that would make me very happy.
