I just came across this great website asking a very poignant question: What do you want to do before you die? The inspiration behind this project was sparked by "a passion to get people to think about (and act upon) what is really important in their lives through this simple, very straight-forward question." Nicole and ks, the co-curators, have collected numerous photographs asking each participant to fill in the blank “Before I die I want to . . .” on the white section of their Polaroid pic, and they plan to keep in touch in order to see if participants have accomplished their goals. I absolutely love this concept, so let me throw out the same question to all of you: What do you want to do before you die?

-Have mind blowingly orgasmic sex with my guy for the rest of my days!

I love communal projects like this. It's sort of like an inverse *post secret* -- far more joyful (and identity affirming), focusing upon the future rather than the past or present.
17I agree keeper13. All I really want is to be happy.
18Great question!
Hmmm. I want to live in a major city, like NYC or London. Right in the middle of it all. Just for a little while.
191. live in paris
202. run a successful business
3. start a family
4. go blonde (maybe)
I want to do a few tours with Doctors Without Borders. I would like a few more years of experience (and I'd like to be married for a few years, too), but my fiance is completely supportive and, if we can make it work, he says he will find a place to live around my station.
21Baby, and then take it all over the world.
22Have a big, happy, healthy family, and travel all over the world on an unlimited budget.
23* Travel to europe and explore london, germany, and amsterdam
24* write and live the life of a bum while still getting paid a nice amount of money
* have the greatest orgasm ever, and be content with having semi mind blowing sex for the rest of my life because i know that no man is spectacular all the time.
* fall in love
* have a baby
* be happy
-get married and have babies
25-live in a different country (again)
-travel: everywhere! would love to go to India and Greece
-publish a book
-be happy in whatever career I end up doing
-finish my PhD (hopefully that'll happen within 3 years)
Do something important that achieves some level of fame. Inspire an article in a leading magazine, for example.
Oh and find The One of course *sigh*.

Travel A LOT.
I have to agree with the picture that you posted, Dear. I would like to have a baby, first and foremost. But I would also love to travel a lot and meet the man of my dreams, then marry him. Then hopefully that baby will come next
29Chef Gordon Ramsay.
30Me too, fuzzles!
31Oh, and also Sheriff Bullock from Deadwood. Gotta love a character whose childhood nickname was "Sloth."
(I say the character's name, not the actor's name, because Timothy Olyphant has been sort of gross to me in every other role I've seen him in.)
32Have a happy and healthy family and travel the whole world!
33It sounds selfish, but I've only truly been in love one time, and I'd like to do it once more before I die. And hopefully, make it permanent.
