50 Things I Want To Do Before I Die

I saw this trending topic on twitter and thought 'I can easily think of 50 things I want to do before I die' but rather than do 50 tweets, I thought it would be easier to do it as a blog entry.

They're in no real order, I just wrote them as I thought of them.

So, here goes:

50 THINGS I WANT TO DO BEFORE I DIE:

1. Get married
2. Have children
3. See Wicked on Broadway
4. Meet Julia
5. Go to the USA (especially New York)
6. Go to London
7. Meet Tim Campbell [ACHIEVED June 2014]
8. Own a dog (current breed of choice is a schnauzer, but that could change)
9. Finish writing an original novel that I don't hate once I've finished it, or think is stupid.
10. Buy a house
11. Get a tattoo
12. Meet one of my favourite authors (I'd prefer JK Rowling, but I'm not picky)
13. Take a course in creative writing.
14. See Miss Webb again (my Year 8 English Teacher who was a huge influence on me in so many ways. I haven't actually seen her since Year 9). [ACHIEVED July 2014]
15. Take my siblings to see Wicked. [semi ACHIEVED November 2014 (took Nikki)]
16. Go to the Harry Potter theme park at Universal Studios.
17. See Anne Frank's house in Amsterdam.
18. Actually get my P's and be able to drive (am working on this). [ACHIEVED July 2014] 
19. Meet Delta Goodrem (again. I met her once, but I was a rambling mess)
20. See Idina Menzel live in concert [ACHIEVED June 2013- TWICE] 
21. Meet Idina Menzel. [ACHIEVED June 2013] 
22. Write something meaningful.
23. Go to Tasmania and the Northern Territory, so I can say I've been to every state and territory in Australia.
24. Do something important.
25. Ride a horse.
26. Be a bridesmaid at someone's wedding.
27. Finish the Harry Potter fan fiction I abandoned to write Wicked fan fiction two years ago and have barely touched since. LOL.
28. Hold a lion cub.
29. Swim with dolphins (or just be in water with dolphins given that I can't actually swim). [ACHIEVED 15/4/2013]
30. Stay at a 5 star hotel somewhere, even just for one night. [ACHIEVED May 23rd 2014] 
31. Teach overseas
32. Get through the entire Wicked book series (every time I've tried I can't do. I made it to end of Son of a witch and that was it, although I own the whole series).
33. Go out dancing.
34. Do karaoke (I'm mostly a watcher. I'm too shy to actually do it myself. Plus I can't sing). 
35. Give a sermon.
36. Read the whole bible cover to cover.
37. Look and feel beautiful, just once.
38. Finish Wuthering Heights. I've started it 5 times. Every time I get bored and stop, but it's one of those classic novels.
39. Re-read Great Expectations. The last time I read it, I was 9. 
40. Get a hug from my sister. (She's not a hugger. The last time I remember getting a hug from her, she was probably about 10. She's now nearly 21). [ACHIEVED October 3rd 2015] 
41. Break a bone. (This sounds weird, but I never have. And I'd like to be able to say I have. Otherwise all I have is splitting my chin open and spraining my wrist and big toe- at different times). 
42. Actually keep a diary, instead of forgetting it's there and only writing in it once every 6 months or so.
43. Be able to have a deep, personal conversation about myself without crying.
44. Go to Prince Edward Island (Four Words: Anne Of Green Gables). 
45. Read the entire Narnia series (the only one I've read is The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe)
46. In my house, have a library.
47. Sponser a child in a Third World nation.
48. Go to a psychic (just for fun). [ACHIEVED 18/4/2013]
49. See at least one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
50. Enter the lottery- just once so I can say I did. [ACHIEVED 19/4/2013- and won $4. LOL)
