Take a midnight stroll along the Seine.
Why would I want to do this?
Well, I've walked along the Seine river already, multiple times, but never at night.
Midnight strolls are always lovely too... The views along the Seine are to die for... :)

Attend a live performance of Swan Lake.
Today is Tchaikovsky's 170 birthday and this is to commemorate him. Out of all the ballet's for which he wrote the scores - I would love to see a performance of Swan Lake the most. I personally participated in 5 or 6 Nutcracker's during my dancing days (oh how I long for those to return!) and even at competition one year did a piece from Swan Lake for my Pointe Solo. That solo remains to be the only point solo I placed lower than first for... Silly judges unable to understand classical. (Honestly, that's all it was.)
Why would I want to do this?
Obviously I'm obsessed with dance and the fact I've never been to a performance of Swan Lake is rather... Incredible. This isn't a "oh I hope" wish - this is a "oh my goodness this HAS to happen" type of thing. Haha!

Go to a festival in England.
Ok, so... I kind of love England (obvious, I know) and I love festivals... Kind of. The whole camping out and taking showers in the middle of nowhere thing kind of turns me off - plus how dusty it is... All reasons I wouldn't ever want to go to a festival again. (Semi-traumatic experience at Creation in 2001)
Why would I want to do this?
So, ummm... Yeah. I think my love for music and England are combining here. Plus, last night we were watching the Glastonbury Fest on TV (parts of it) and I found myself longing to be there... :)

Paraglide.
So I realize awhile back I wrote an entry about parachuting... I'd like to point out that paragliding is quite different.
Why would I want to do this?
It's all about my obsession with flight... Been with me since I was a child and it will stick with me until the day I die. :)
~Fly fly little wings.... :)

Dance along a fjord.
I'm not even entirely positive this can happen... But if it can :)
A fjord, for those of you who don't know is (as Webster puts it) a long, narrow arm of the sea bordered by steep cliffs: usually formed by glacial erosion.
Why would I want to do this?
Viewing a fjord isn't enough - I must dance!

Learn topiary.
For those who don't know - topiary is the art of creating sculptures in the medium of clipped trees, shrubs and sub-shrubs. Kinda like Edward from Edward Scissorhands.
Why would I want to do this?
It'd be neat to trim peoples shrubbery while they sleep into something really awesome... Oh oh oh! I know some people will love this - it'd be a new way of prophetic art! :)

Score 150 or more in a game of bowling.
When I was young (8) I was amazing at bowling... I generally wound up with a score around 200. Somehow I lost all talent between 8 & 15. Now I'm lucky if I bowl a game above 75! Hahahaha! (It is rather impressive how many gutter balls I manage to get without trying to.
Why would I want to do this?
Because I like bowling and I like to be good and competitive at things that I do with others... Yes - I am a very competitive person. It's a downfall at times... Haha!

Hit a home run.
Haha! I've played quite a few games of ball in my time, heck - I was actually on a softball team when I was... 9 or something. In all my years though - I've never been able to hit a home run.
Why would I want to do this?
It's the exact same thing as playing soccer and never scoring a goal! (Thankfully I've done that) It's an accomplishment! :)

Be a florist.
Or at least arrange one bouquet that turns out amazing! To work with flowers... :)
Why would I want to do this?
To each person a florist is something different. To some they are the people you go to when you desperately need to make up to someone, but they're not taking your calls. Others view florists as those who are more sensitive than themselves and ask they put something together for a late loved one... However you view a florist - they're special. They help you out when you need something, but know that words alone won't do justice.

Pick up a hitch hiker.
Why would I want to do this?
To help a person get where they want/need to go.
(Think about it. There's a lot more to that sentence then appears.)

Have someone play a song just for me.
So last night right before going to bed "Inevitable" by Anberlin came on my iPod. Upon this happening I posted a tweet somewhere along the lines of saying that if a guy wants to woo me (yes, I use "woo" in that form) they should play "Inevitable" for me.
Why would I want to do this?
There's a love and passion inside of me for live music (the fact I'm not going to see Anberlin in 2 days when they come through town is still astounding to me *sigh*). Anyway. I've never once been played a song specifically for.. Me. It'd be amazing and incredible to have it happen, and I hope someday, someone will. :)

Learn a song on the harmonica.
The harmonica is one of those little-used instruments which I think should get more attention. So here I am saying that I want to learn how to play a song on the harmonica!
Why would I want to do this?
When I was a kid I used to think I could play the harmonica. I had one of those plastic toy ones that always sounded odd no matter what you did... Well, anyway. At one point in my life I had a true blue real harmonica which I put up to my lips and realized - it's difficult to play!

Catch a crawfish.
It dawned on me the other day I've never caught a crawfish!
Why would I want to do this?
........ Because both my brothers have?

Witness Clark's grebe's perform the "courtship dance"
I obviously watched the Discovery series "Life" while it was on TV the past month - incredibleness. I might buy it on DVD one of these days. Definitely worth it. (Remember those movies your parents would put in and have you watch when you were young? Exactly what I think these would be perfect for!)
Why would I want to do this?
They end their dance by running on water in perfect synchrony. That right there would be amazing to witness... :)

Own a legit pair of hiking boots... and use them for #22 or any other adventure that requires hiking.
LOL! So this is kinda out of no where. Extreme randomness.
Why would I want to do this?
Well - I realized that a person can't hike without hiking boots. I am not the type of girl to own let alone try on a pair of hiking boots. If I were to own a pair and use them - oh my... I think someone somewhere would witness a flying sheep. XD
