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.

  1. Have fun with the whole series of Buffy!!! It's the last time I watched an entire series because the last episode bummed me out so bad that I stopped watching final episodes - never seen the last episode of Sex and the City, or Battlestar Galactica, just don't want to admit the dream is over.

  2. It is now currently safe to watch the last episode of Sex & the City...they made a movie that picks up where it left off, plus now they're making a 2nd movie!!!

  3. Lindsay, some of the states are really not worth visiting.

  4. Hmm...well, in that case, I'll just make a list of specific places within the U.S. I wanna go that are actually worth seeing. Like Vegas, Hollywood, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, etc.
