build a casket for my tears

Twenty things I want to do before I die, in no particular order:

1) See Jereusalem without dying (unless, of course, I'm resurrected from the dead three days later and let continue about my way. Though I can do without the Roman torture methods beforehand, thank you).
2) Become fluent in Japanese.
3) Move to England.
4) Become an editor at a major publishing house.
5) Write and publish a book.
6) Have a child named after me.
7) Become a good cook.
8) Tour Europe by motorcycle.
9) Adopt a child.
10) Visit Tibet.
11) Take the Trans-Siberian Railroad across Russia.
12) Buy a wonderful old house and fill it with curiosities gathered on my travels.
13) Learn how to play another instrument well.
14) Be owned by many, many cats.
15) Swim with dolphins.
16) Have an SO.
17) Learn how to sail a Real Boat.
18) Have grandchildren and spoil them mercilessly.
19) Make an angelfood cake as good as the one my roommate made that one time.
20) Buy one of those wonderful ghatto marrionettes in Venice.

I didnt' know you liked Poe! Can't help you with the child named after you or the SO. And boo for you moving permanently to England!

When did Michelle make angelfood cake? *missed that*

And does Jerusalem usually mean dying?

haunting me

I'm a fan of Poe in that I've heard and really liked one song by her, which isn't much to go on. ;-) Though I wouldn't mind hearing more at all.

Um, I don't recall exactly when she did it (might even have been back in sophmore year, since I seem to remember Jim having some), but I do remember that it tasted AWESOME.

Going to Jerusalem doesn't necessarily mean dying, it's just not the safest city in the world. Although hopefully the peace process will move along and change that. I hope I hope.

we never say exactly what we mean
