Cantousent Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 write a novel. I want to finish a work of fiction. How do you want to waste your time on the rock? No, no. I already realize most of you will say "have sex for the first time." Fine, but I'm hoping for more meaningful answers.

LoneWolf16 Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 (edited) Not only am I in that "Most of you" category, I'm also startlingly pathetic. Seriously though, I'd like to write a novel, or perhaps a book of short stories. Nothing too big or groundbreaking, just normal Fantasy or Sci-fi fare, but I just need to get to that level. Hell, the furthest I've ever gotten is 16 pages, hand written, and I'm not too pleased with the result...though other people seem to like it. Anywho...attending and graduating college with a degree in some form of Journalism or Writing, finding someone to spend my life with, marriage, wee ones, the usual. And developing a cohesive, strong sense of self would be great too. Edited May 26, 2006 by LoneWolf16 I had thought that some of nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, for they imitated humanity so abominably. - Book of Counted Sorrows 'Cause I won't know the man that kills me and I don't know these men I kill but we all wind up on the same side 'cause ain't none of us doin' god's will. - Everlast
213374U Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 Have se... oh, snap! - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
Volourn Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 Have sex for the first time. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
213374U Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 Okay, okay, I got it. Have sex for the second time. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
Fenghuang Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 Get CISCO Certified. Finish college without shooting everyone. Find a job as a game designer. Promptly have my job stolen by robots. Find that my CISCO Certification is no longer good because the robots are now doing that too. Go back to working in the food service industry. Die bitter, cold, and alone. Also, have sex for the first time. RIP
Pidesco Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 Write a book of short stories. Have sex for the 3527th time. Love. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
alanschu Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 Play video games? :"> Have sex without paying for it? :(" Have a friend! More seriously, never really gave it much thought. I guess I'll be boring and say "be happy."
julianw Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 I always wanted to be the president of United States. Sadly, the constitution does not allow so.
Blarghagh Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 Not only am I in that "Most of you" category, I'm also startlingly pathetic. Ditto. Make an album, learn how to sing, get better at playing guitar, make a movie, do comics, write a novel, write children's books, work on a video game.
Gorth Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 Amongst all the unrealistic ones, I gave myself two "achievable" goals as a teenager. One of those was to own a Ferrari. Condition of said car is less important. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
Tigranes Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 Complete a single creation, be it book, music, film, game, whatever, and complete it properly enough to be proud of it.

astr0creep Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 (edited) 1- Be in a decent financial situation to buy and furnish a house. 2- Have children. 3- Go back to school and finish my studies. 4- Write, produce, direct and complete one movie. Doesn't have to be seen by anyone but my closest friends, familly and cast & crew(friends) but some recognition would still be nice 5- Make a video game in my basement with friends as a hobby. 6- Write an illustrated book of short horror/Sci-fi stories. 7- In between all these, work on my house and play video games until the day I die in my sleep from cancer and/or complications from diabetes. In that order. P.S. Travel would also be great. Edited May 26, 2006 by astr0creep http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
Plano Skywalker Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 SHORT TERM (probably attainable): to move from IT support to the ranks of programmers (web-based programming). LONG TERM (more of a pipe dream): indeed, to write some fiction. I can see myself writing "historical fiction" a la Ellis Peters.
Nick_i_am Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 Break into the 3D animation industry. Sex is fun, but after camel-chick i'm not going there again until i'm about 30. Maybe. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
mkreku Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 I have a few traveling goals left to fulfill. Need to visit Asia and South America. It'll happen soon. Also, one day I'd love to be able to take a Formula 1 car out for a spin. That would be a dream come true. Other than that, I want to.. ..have sex with a japanese girl. ..have sex with an eskimo girl. ..have sex with a brazilian girl (preferrably on Copacabana). ..have sex with a russian girl. Specific goals are good Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Daaave Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 Learn to play guitar, see Evanescence live, meet Matt Heafy from Trivium , and other such things which I can't be bothered to list right now. Just because you're a bit thinner than your even fatter mum it doesn't mean you're in excellent physical shape, if you could fit through the door and view the normal people you'd notice that cheeseburger boy. Squid suck.
Musopticon? Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 I dunno, I think moving out would be cool. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
Baley Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 Make love to a certain someone in the middle of a sunflower field ala Crna macka, beli macor. Shut up.
Shadowstrider Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 Create a tribute game dedicated to the greatest game in the world. Complete with gleaming halo around my head and banishing the demon who made the request. Actually, most of my short term goals are complete/in the process of being completed. Much like Eldar, my goal is to complete a fiction piece.
kirottu Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 Have sex for the first time. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I want to have sex with Volourn for the first time. I This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
Nick_i_am Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 Like that wouldn't push you over the edge. Also, i'd very very much like to fly in a Spitfire, one of the most beautiful machines ever created. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Walsingham Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 I've always agreed with the venerable Dr Johnson "Every man thinks meanly of himself for never having been a soldier or having been to sea." Besides that I'd have to say I'd like to look back and say I lived with honour and courage. But since I'm a cowardly lying weasel, this may be unrealistic. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
Cantousent Posted May 26, 2006 Author Posted May 26, 2006 You never know, on any given day, what heroics the coward will perform. You never know, on any given day, what cowardices the hero will perform. Doing something cowardly is a shameful thing, and it is good that it is shameful. Letting past cowardice define you as a coward is twice shameful. Anyhow, a little deep for me before I've had my first copy, so let me just say that caution is not cowardice. Also, I'd like to celebrate my 20 year anniversay by having a 30's gangster themed party.
