88
In my copious free time of late, I've been going through and organizing all the miscellaneous files on my hard drive, and among a great many old icons, unfinished computer paintings of topless women, and half-started stories, I found a couple of old meme-y things I'd forgotten about from before I had an lj, so I thought I'd spam y'all with them.
Holly Lisle's "Are You Right for Writing" quiz: I still score an 88: You'll probably make a great writer. You should think very carefully before getting married, having children, or buying a pet, however. Walking into your livingroom and discovering the dust-covered skeleton that was your cat -- or your spouse -- can be really bad for morale.
Wow! A quiz that actually gets me right!
And, from exactly a year ago, just before I got this lj, a to-do list:
thirty things I want to do at least once in my life: march 2003.
In no particular order:
1. be kissed
2. kiss someone
3. have a lover
4. or two or three
5. at the same time
6. have a baby
7. have sex
8. kill someone with my own hands
9. be absolutely alone for a month
10. be accosted by fans
11. be fluent in a foreign language or two
12. go to a convention
13. save the world
14. create something real
15. shave my head
16. sail. hang-glide
17. be in good shape
18. be a published author
19. start walking and just keep going 'til I get somewhere
20. be rich enough to buy whatever i want
21. and donate said money to humourous charities
22. experience micro-gravity
23. raise a child
24. be part of another culture
25. dance
26. do a cartwheel
27. grow a garden
28. trust someone with my life. Be trusted with someone else's life
29. do without electricity or running water
30. live
Have not made much progress on any of it in the past year-- but there's no rush, after all. And I am working on a few of the easier ones.

I've seen some of your posts; you've either already accomplished- or aren't too far off from accomplishing- number 11 with ease. 8 is a little scary.
12, huh? Go to that Otakon thing. It may be an anime convention (I seem to remember you saying you dinna like the style), but from what I understand, you get the chance to get hit in the head with an oversized inflatable mallet belonging to a 45-year old man dressed as Sailor Moon! And it's in August, so he'll be plenty sweaty! How can you go wrong?
I seriously doubt you'll go more than another few years without 10 occuring. I hope you never have to experience 9... well, at least not at the same time as 29, anyway.
Go to a park. Find a tire swing. Sit in said swing. Wind up the chain until you lift another few feet in the air. Release. Not quite the same as 22, but it fooled me when I was 6.
And 30 is misleading. if; by the time someone has done everything else on this list; they haven't lived, then they never will.

9 and 29 at the same time is practically my ideal life-- add a couple goats, chickens, bees, cats, and orchard and berry bramble and woodlot and spring, and a solar panal on the roof strong enough to power a laptop with satellite internet-- paradise
Yes, but I'd like to be able to cross off 30 even if I *don't* finish the rest of the list. . .

Cheater. :)
Well, if you wanna get all technical, you're already in the progress of 30. Don't believe me? Try this test. Take a deep breath in.... exhale. Inhale again.... exhale. See? (/corniness)
*looks at list* I just realized, as far as THAT list goes, I've only ever done 19. I had a punchline to add to that, but I decided to censor. Go figure ^^;

Why not do both?
