want: (now & forever)

27 April 2010

  • a puppy (sorry kitties, but it’s true)
  • people to not mess up the apartment listing ads on craiglists with a whole slew of misrepresented and just WRONG ads.  (West Rogers Park is NOT Boystown.)
  • my apartment to magically be packed up when the time comes
  • an eleventy-million dollar shopping spree to ModCloth.com
  • to be able to support myself with my writing and design work/skills
  • a membership to Shedd (and about 50 other places in Chicago)
  • to be able to sit and focus and write this story that’s been playing in my head for the last week
  • just to spend dedicated time writing!
  • a bike.  a pretty one.
  • to remember to include my cell phone bill in my monthly budget

Just a small list for today… Some of it lines up with my Life List… which I just created for the first time ever.  Weird.

I’ve never really been one to want a Life List.   I always felt like it would evolve into a “things I never did” list or a “I feel lame” list.  I realize that these lists, like my life, are not set in stone.  And thus, I really shouldn’t worry about it.

So I’m just throwing all of this stuff out to the universe.  Hoping that maybe the universe will play nice, and who knows… I’ll get a sweet bike to ride to my amazing writing/editing/design job, then back home to my killer apartment with my Lovely roommate.  So yeah, sending all this out to the universe.  We’ll see what happens from there.

This is basically my exact “want” list too! I guess my main addition is a house way out in the country, surrounded by nature, away from cities and all the turmoil that goes with that. And then I can settle down and write…

Oh, I don’t know if I could do the house in the country… at least not for my main abode. I do love that idea though. I get the appeal of it… but yeah, I need the life & movement of the city.

I too have a bucket list.

However everything on mine is unattainable.

I thought about making a crazy one… just to see if maybe, just maybe, I can accomplish at least one of them.

Lists are awesome! (coming from a self-proclaimed list lover) It’s good to know what you want because they you’ll recognize it when it comes :)

I love lists too! So it’s surprising I waited this long to do a life list… :)

Even though at age 32, I probably am too old for the clothes, I hate you a little for sharing ModCloth.com. :) (And by hate, I mean it in the nicest sense.)

hahaha… Mod Cloth is an evil evil place. They make me want to spend all of my moneys. Maybe I’ll treat myself for my birthday…

There is a swimsuit that I might have to sell some plasma for.

@Queen of Quirky: 32 is not too ripe an age to wear cute clothes! I am going on 31 and plan to wear teh cute clothes until I can’t. I hope someone will be polite and tell me when they no longer look good.
