Dream Big

I recently watched the Disney/Pixar movie Up! (no, not for the first time, but the first time in awhile, anyway), and I found myself caught by the adventure book that Carl and Ellie had made.

(Or I guess Ellie made it, but it was for both of them, so...)

I'm not much for scrap-booking, no, but like Carl and Ellie, I have a lot of dreams, a lot of crazy things I want to do, places I want to go...so I was thinking, to hold myself sort of accountable to those things, I might as well write them down...and share them with you, so you can remind me, too. :)

So here we go...

(In no particular order.)

1. I want to travel all over Europe.
   (And to Japan and Korea someday, too.)
2. I want a big fancy dress when I get married...but I want a wedding with just me, my fiance, a judge and a witness or two.
   (Though if he wants something bigger, I suppose I'll cave.)
3. I want a library of my own.
   (Think Beauty & the Beast or Gosick.)
4. I want to perform on stage.
   (Professionally, I mean, not just for an undergrad recital.)
5. I want five kids of my own.
   (And to adopt one or two older kids, as well.)
6. I want to be on the New York Times Best Seller list.
   (Several times.)
7. I want to write an opera or a musical.
   (That is, I want to finish writing them.)
8. I want to get a couple more degrees.
   (In writing, sociology, history, to name a few.)
9. I want to study in Paris.
   (Or Prague, either will do.)
10. I want to cook everything.
    (And eat it, too.)
11. I want to learn how to play the French horn or the trombone.
    (To play them well, that is.)
12. I want to celebrate Mardi Gras in Brazil.
    (Because New Orleans isn't good enough.)
13. I want to draw a comic book.
    (Even if I never publish it.)
14. I want two dogs and a cat.
    (A big dog, a little dog, and a female cat who will dominate the both of them.)
15. I want to go to some sort of convention.
    (Not music, but for nerds or otakus or what have you.)
16. I want to cosplay in public on a normal day.
    (Though should I go steam-punk or Holo the Wise Wolf?)
17. I want to rule the world.
    (In a 'peace on earth' sort of way, not Pinky & the Brain.)

So.

Romance

Adventure

Fame

Insanity

Dream big?

[Despite the fact that I'm obviously not sleeping at this delightful hour of the morning.]

Cheers.
