Balloon Paint.
I saw this back in the day whenever it was that I watched The Princess Diaries (yes, I watched that movie. Multiple times.) and the mom was balloon painting. It intrigued me and immediately I wanted to try it. Obviously, I never have.

Why would I want to do this?
You can't control how the painting turns out when you use this technique, which works for me because even when I can control how a painting turns out, it doesn't look that great. Haha!

Participate in a food fight.
So I realized earlier that I had never really been involved in a full on food fight. Closest I've gotten was probably... With Sarah and Jess and lots of whipped cream (the canned stuff). Oh my, the floors were SO sticky! Even after we cleaned them multiple times... XD

Why would I want to do this?
To have a full room involved in a food fight would just be an incredible feat. Of course, someone else can clean it up! Haha! Nah, I probably would wind up cleaning everything... But you have to pay for messes you make, don't you?

Attend a masquerade ball.
Earlier I was sitting on the floor in my boss's office during a meeting (yes, I sit on the floor at work. No, it's not that odd - even my boss does it some times) and I realized the molding on the end of his desk could be seen as a few different things eventually I saw a mask. As afraid as I am of masks, especially those looking similar to a clown, I immediately found myself wishing to attend a masquerade ball! Oh the joys!

Why would I want to do this?
I can dance. It would allow me to get dressed up. I could wear a tiara. Must I list more reasons? Haha! If you know me, you have already realized that being able to do those 3 things would make me super happy. If you don't know me, well, I guess you just realized that by being able to do those things makes me happy... Haha!
Dancing is in my blood. There's no getting it out of me. I love dance. Obviously, I'm a trained dancer (Ballet, Jazz, Modern, Lyrical, Pointe, Hip Hop, Acro, lil bits of; Hebrew, Polynesian, Hawaiian, Jewish and many others) and because of this I will always have the desire to move. I'm rarely presented with an event for which I can get all gussied up, but oh how I love it! The meticulous details that don't really matter... Immaculate hair which could be ruined with one drop of rain... Anyway. Any chance to wear my tiara thrills me. Hehe!

Go to the cheese rolling in England.
Yep. You definitely read right. Hahahaha! Thanks to my roommate, Lisa, for this one.

Why would I want to do this?
Well, seeing it on TV definitely doesn't hold up to seeing it live. Plus, for those who know me know that I want to be in England all too much, sooooo... Yeah.

Participate in National Novel Writing Month.
Ok, so the deal with NaNoWriMo is quite interesting... A 50,000 Novel written in one month - November. BTW, there's a website.... nanowrimo.org

Why would I want to do this?
Well, to accomplish it would be rather a feat. I do believe it's something I could do though. Why? Easy - it was either my Junior or Senior year in High School where I had to write a 10 page paper to graduate. Well, I stayed up all night writing this (very interesting) short story of sorts. At about 1:30AM the story took some rather odd turns. Something like a door which led to a secret world or something like that... Anyway. The next day when my mom was editing it she told me it was a 10 page double spaced, not single spaced like I had written it. Needless to say, a lot of the super random story lines were then removed. Unimportant fact: The computer crashed and I lost all my papers that year.

Be a Train Conductor.
Earlier I got stuck at a railroad crossing and while waiting for the (very slow moving) train to pass it hit me! Cracked me up when I thought of it too. Rocking out to One Republic waiting for a train to pass... Oh yes... Rather incredible.

Why would I want to do this?
Not really sure... The only thing I can come up with is... When I was little (3-4) I had a "rocking horse" which was actually on wheels. One of my favorite pictures of myself as a child is one where I'm sitting on this horse in the middle of our living room with a white sweatshirt (from a zoo) on. My memory from that horse - riding on it acting as though I was the conductor of a train (had a conductors hat!!) through our living room and kitchen... Yes, I am a dork. Hehe!

Sleep on the beach.
I think I saw a commercial or something where people were laying on the beach and it hit me... I don't rightly remember. (I wrote myself a note so I wouldn't forget! HAHA)

Why would I want to do this?
Well, I absolutely love the beach and love the sound the waves make. The way the sky looks along the water entirely amazes me - especially when the moon is out! Oh delight delight... I love the beach. :) Hehe!

Hang glide.
So this kinda goes with yesterdays...

Why would I want to do this?
Well, once again it's the weightlessness - the flying - the soaring. Honestly I have an obsession with flying. Have for years. One of the reasons both my tattoos are somehow wings (the second is the trinity knot turned sideways with two extra loops... Wings).

Parachute.
SNL, thank you very much.

Why would I want to do this?
Well, it's kinda like skydiving but totally different. That feeling of weightlessness still exists when you parachute - I think. I actually have no clue. But it would be fun!

Skateboard.
Rather simple, eh? I remember watching a skateboarder in Alaska show this little girl how to and since I've figured if she was able to, I should be able to too! Anyway - that was a random passing thought. Haha! I'd like to take the opportunity to now point out that the very few times I've been on a skateboard, I've almost fallen within 2 feet. Goal is to be able to ride. Ha.

Why would I want to do this?
...
Haha!

Draw a comic.
Ok, so the wording on this one I'm not quite sure... But I want to sketch, draw, whatever a comic one of these days. One that gets published, thank you. Something like Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes or The Family Circus...

Why would I want to do this?
You know, I really have no clue. Comic strips weren't that big for me growing up. I stopped reading them when I was around 10 (Calvin and Hobbes is different... So is Peanuts. Haha!). So why this idea jumped into my mind, I'm not entirely sure. It would just be fun. Interesting to see what I would come up with for sure.

Golf.
Haha! There's tons of people who I know that have golfed. Yes, I realize this is usually an older persons sport, but I've always wanted to see how good I was at it- you know, the drives and such.

Why would I want to do this?
It'd be fun to spend time outside competing with friends in the nice warm sunny air... Can you tell I'm missing warmth and the sun yet?! Agh!
On a side note: more snow is being called for here. Thankfully it's only supposed to be some inches... But still! Where's summer?!

Go backstage at a concert.
Technically, I've done this... But that was all the way back in 2001 when East of Eden came through and did a concert at my church. So it doesn't count. Haha! Plus I met people in bands, but that was at the merch table and after the event - not backstage.

Why would I want to do this?
Well, if it's a band I actually like (which isn't too difficult to find) --- oh my gosh. Like, seriously? Oh my gosh... *deep breath* It would be incredible to meet the band and just chill a lil in the back hehe!

Ride a mechanical bull.
So there's this one car commercial out and it shows a stuffed monkey riding a mechanical bull - earlier when I saw the commercial I thought "I wanna do that!".

Why would I want to do this?
Well, it's safer than riding a real bull - and it'd just be so fun to know that I accomplished it! Hehe.

Surf.
Yes, this is the second sport-ish entry in a row. This one however has a different inspiration, obviously. On the way home today I was sitting next to a guy who was returning from Australia where he had been surfing... Among other things. Well, this got me thinking, I totally want to surf!

Why would I want to do this?
I love being in water and the beach. The waves don't scare me. Plus, I've seen dolphins out just past where surfers wait... :) Oh how I love dolphins! Getting caught up in a wave though just seems like a dream - how does one do that?! I want to learn!
