Life Goals Revisited

I was just looking at my old blog...yeah, I had a livejournal http://dancestarrunner.livejournal.com/, and before that a Xanga. It's pretty funny...I posted stuff in it as recently as last year and I found a list of short and long term goals I set for myself in early 2007. In the 2 years since I posted that, I think I managed to fulfill 99% of my short term goals, but none of my long term goals.

Short term:
-lose weight
-exercise more
-eat healthier
-call/visit my friends more
-go out on weekends more
-join the library
-start dating again

Long term:
-dance professionally at least once (in a company, in a Broadway show, Rockettes, or NBA Basketball dance team i.e. Knicks City Dancers)
-find a job I absolutely love
-learn to ballroom dance
-learn to horseback ride
-travel the world
-swim with dolphins
-become a published author (write a book, or at least have an article published in a well-known newspaper or magazine)
-learn different languages (Spanish, Italian, German, Japanese, relearn French, Gaelic, etc.)
-be a contestant on a TV trivia game show, i.e. Millionaire, Jeopardy, etc.
-learn something crafty (sewing, knitting, decoupage, jewelry making, etc.)
-meet at least one A-list celebrity (and not freak out while doing it)
-get a really awesome tattoo
-sing (or dance) back-up for a well-known recording artist
-be an extra in a movie (or even a small role with lines, so I can appear on IMDB.com)

New additions:
-visit all 50 states at least once
-perform in a Shakespeare play
-score a lead part in a musical
-start voice & acting classes again
-go to the city more often to take dance classes
-get new headshots taken
-find an agent
-finish watching entire series of Buffy The Vampire Slayer
-clean my room
-have a pool party
-move out of my parents' house

I'm not gonna put a time limit on all of this, but I'd like to accomplish all of this in the next few years if I can. I don't know if it will all be possible, but I will try.
