• This is in answer to:
  • List five things to do before you die. See all answers
    • Why are these called bucket lists? Anyone?
    • Move to San Francisco
      Because it's late March, and I am still wearing thermal underwear. Because I LIKE it when people are nice to me when ordering a bagel. Because I want to study the history of the American West, and you can't do that in the East, except at Yale, and who wants to live in New Haven? I also really like red wine, artichoke hearts, sourdough bread and walking uphill.


      Recieve a PhD
      Because I want to check off the Dr. box on credit card applications and magazine subscriptions. I also like public speaking, and teaching college is a good way to do that for a living. I figure that'll also keep me in school for a VERY long time, which is exactly where I want to be.


      Learn to sew
      H&M always has these cute, low-key wrap dresses that I always see and think "y'know, I could probably make that." Plus, someone is bound to compliment me on it, and then I can say, thanks, I made it myself. I feel like that would be pretty rewarding.


      Drive cross country
      I'd love to be free of the guilt that this activity would pile on me. All those carbon emissions. Buuut, I figure Brian will probably have to do it someday for touring purposes, and I've never been to the Badlands, and Brian also has green-guilt, so if there's anyone who'd do this the low-impact way AND invite me along, it's him.


      Have a BFF
      These things are hard to find. Yikes.

    I think it's because of the slang term "kick the bucket" :)

    Yup, originated from the movie "The Bucket List."

    Oh, and the problem with sewing your own clothes is that you also take the chance of someone asking, "Did you make that?" Way different from the hoped-for compliment, lemme tell ya.
