The girls here have started to write down their life goals (aka lg’s).. it started with Bethany, but has spread .. and now I’ve been included into the exclusive club. I thought about keeping them private, but then realized that wasn’t much fun. The qualifications for a lg is that it has to be something that will withstand the test of time – and something that you def want to do before you die. It doesn’t have to be profound, but it should be something you can actually mark off someday. So here goes… in no particular order at all…
(1) read all the ancient classics on my list (2) live in Europe (3) swim in the Arctic (4) adopt a child (5) backpack SE Asia (6) get an a/g license (7) be in a protest (8) own a moped (9) go on a cruise (10) become elected (11) design my own home (12) make it to Baghdad (13) fluently know two languages (14) bungee jump (15) write a book (16) hike the trail of tears (17) (18) stay on a commune (19) get married to #33 (20) drive a bulldozer (21) get my master’s (22) get my teeth whitened (23) meet a president (24) live in an ethnic ghetto in NYC (25) be apart of a traveling team (26) influence a xa’an to go for a year (27) be on tv (28) see the Indian Rope Trick performed in India (29) tour Aschwitz (30) visit Tehran (31) go to a formal ball (32) be a good cook (33) have someone think I’m the most beautiful girl in the world (34) sleep under the Aurora Borealis (35) get my scuba license at the Great Barrier Reef (36) be known as a loving person (37) always keep a scrapbook
Thats it. You’ve been a witness of what I hope to accomplish in my life. Now clearly thats not ALL… I can always add stuff – but thats a pretty solid start.
I hope you all had a great New Years

Hey,
Thanks for the encouragement on my blog. Which XA are you a part of? I’m at SHSU.

hey thanks for your comment on my Xanga. It’s good to know that my posts are enjoyed. :)
Although I must say that you saying you miss XA leads me to believe that you’ve moved on from college, and that makes me wonder what I’ll be feeling once I move away from my XA friends. Probably tears, and lots of them.
But thankfully we will all have the biggest party ever thrown in the history of time itself once we reach Heaven. No more ‘goodbyes’ or ‘see ya laters’! It puts a big stupid grin on my face just to think about it…

Wow!! Does give extra insight into you. How diverse and interesting! Go girl!
Re: your comment on my site. Yes, it was a real kick to introduce the two Xangers by their “handle” (old CBer term may fit). We all commented how funny that was. When I meet the ‘younger’ ones in our church they get such a kick, “Oh, it’s walkalongside!!!” :)

A nice list….it’s fun to have goals. I’ve done number 29 on your list. I guess it was on mine too. This year, I finally visited England, which was on my list. I didn’t get to spend a long enough time, so I will have to go back. I still have one more continent to check off my list (Africa), and six states.
