What Is One Thing You Really Want To Do Before You Die? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Nighthawk76 · 04-25-2009, 06:37 PM

I've always loved to write. I hope to have a book published before I die. I've been thinking that I would like it to be a children's book. When I took creative writing in college, even though I was in my mid-20's, the professor (a published author himself) said that I still had a great knack for writing both children and teenagers. He (and the class) said that my kids and teens talked and acted like real ones. Also, when you are dealing with children's literature, the sky is the limit in what you can write. After all, kids don't care about the logic of a story or if it is believable, they just want to be entertained, to laugh and by moved.

For me, it's pretty simple. I would like to see some of my closest internet friends in person before I die. There's so many people, particularly from SO who I'm very close with, and I'd be crushed if I never got the chance to meet them face to face.

I would love to have some work published in book form some day.

I fully intend to go around the world. I love to travel, I've been to 16 countries, but there's just so much I haven't seen yet. Someday.

I think I'd go for that genre too, much of the reason being that I watch that generation all day long. But then again, I'm not sure where my ideas would fit in.

I, too, would like to a be a writer. Only, I want to be a Christian writer.

beautifuldreamer · 04-25-2009, 08:51 PM

One thing before I die?
So many options... but to only pick one is so difficult.
I want to find an extraordinary man that I can fall madly in love with and spend the rest of my life with.
As much as I would want to have kids, become a music professor, have all my friends truly understand how much they mean to me, hug everyone I love once more maybe

.... my first choice is to find my future husband.

I would love to bodyboard Pipeline in Hawaii before I die. That would be so awesome!

OH Nuts! · 04-25-2009, 09:04 PM

Go to Paris, France & meet David Nelson

ekkostar · 04-25-2009, 09:46 PM

Do it in the back of a shiny black Mercedes with a handsome, powerful, well-dressed man.

Brieannas21 · 04-25-2009, 09:53 PM

Design a clothing line, and open up a little Boutique.

dakert · 04-25-2009, 11:15 PM

I would like to do something important or meaningful but right now I have no idea what that might be. it would be nice to live long enough to find out.

Wreckless · 04-25-2009, 11:18 PM

That's a good but hard question. Especially since you're only limiting the question to one thing before you die. I would say, put out a double disc album, through my music. If I put out my best, and it was all I could put out, I would.

Wreckless · 04-25-2009, 11:21 PM

oh and i'm making mine 3 things...also i'd like to fall in love with a beatiful but down to earth, chill woman who loves me for me, not for money or a bullsh*t reason, but for me...and start a life with her from these experiences.

also, I would like to do something important and meaningful for the world like the dude above me said....i don't know exactly what though...but yeah.

LuLu Rogers · 04-26-2009, 11:06 AM

Well, I'm already writing my first book, so...

I'm not really sure about one specific thing, I'd love to travel, find my soul mate, and hopefully meet Wayne Rogers one of these days
