    A group of my friends and I did this over the course of one afternoon in a beer garden, except we decided to make a list of 100 things to do. Sadly that list is back in England but one of the ones we had was get drunk on every continent which I'm slowly working on as I make my way (slowly) around the world :)

    I was confused by those 2

    My list-
    skydive
    compete in a streetboard contest without destorying myself
    get more tattoos and piercings
    become a tattoo artist
    and move to canada
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    tetrachromacy - four colurs? I'm guessing people who have four coloured sight instead of three - (red, green, blue) - Possibly like birds - ultraviolet, blue, yellow? and red.

    6.5g - experience a force of 6.5 gravities - or to be accelerated at 63 meters per second per second

    Mine... sex on a space station.

    I'll beam you up big boy :D

    Win an obscene amount of money. Not for having the money (though that would be nice) but for the joy of the win :)

    Do unspeakable things with 10+ bodybuilders :D

    Go in a hot air baloon.

    Have a year/month even a week where my fucking brain is 'normal'.

    Save someone's life.

    Sex with 0 gravity would be awesome! Imagine the positions!!

    - Live and work in Vancouver.
    - Travel the USA (ticking this one off next year, yeah baby!!!)
    - Learn Italian
    - Live in Italy
    - Build up a high level of fitness/muscle that I can eat ridiculous amounts of food and not feel guilty.
    - Feel that kind of intense, passionate love that not everyone gets to experience. Even if only for a short period of time.
    - Visit a BDSM club. Just to... watch. Yeah.
    - One or two other sexual things that I haven't admitted to anyone.. yet. :lol:
    - Be in a relationship with a woman.
    - Work within a job that I'm actually passionate about, not just one that I kind of like, that pays the bills.
    - Be successful enough in life that my mother doesn't worry about me. Basically just make her proud, and know that I gave her piece of mind that she did a good job, and was so much more than the mother she thinks she was.
    - Eventually have a child. Or two. When I grow up, obviously.
    - Find pure happiness. As much as humanly possible.

    I wish I could give blood! Apparently I have crappy veins. Will never be able to cross that one off, but I'd like to join the marrow doner register when I'm a bit more set up

    Spot on dude :-) Yes, I did mean G as in G force and tetrachromacy as in the ability to understand 4 colours instead of 3.

    I have never thought of doing a list like this. I have been stuck not really caring about that far in the future. Making a list like this was never something I thought to do. I will have to work on one now.

    I'm finally able to physically, but you have to wait 9 months after giving birth. If my body doesn't go tits up in the next 6 months, I'm there!

    I've always felt bad about being excluded, cause I'm an excellent bleeder :thumb:
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    In the states you can't give blood if you are allergic to latex. The syringes they typically use have a latex stopper. However that only makes a difference if your blood is injected back in to you! It makes me very sad because I have O-neg blood.
