    In no particular order-

    -Come out to my family
    -publish a novel
    -have a sit down conversation with Neil Gaiman (think this might be the hardest one to accomplish)
    -lose a healthy amount of weight
    -get top surgery
    -record an album
    -finish getting my degree in psychology
    -do something ridiculous and publicly romantic to tell someone I love them
    -Build a rat rod
    -have a more peaceful relationship with my mom (oh wait no, this will be the hardest one)

    I haven't given this much thought until now

    - Come out, obviously. And have a relationship
    - Finish uni and find a job I actually like
    - Stop being completely broke at the end of every month and start saving some money
    - Visit the USA. Or another place outside of Europe
    - Make a road trip around Europe and visit as many music festivals as possible in one summer (this would be so awesome)
    - Drive a car at over 200 km/h
    - Have a vinyl record collection of at least 1000 records
    - Learn to do hardcore-screamo-vocals and start a band
    - Stop being a nervous wreck every time I have to speak/perform/etc. in front of an audience
    - Become a better cook instead of a I'll-have-a-microwave-dinner-cause-I'm-too-lazy-to-cook-something-good attitude

    Kenya or Tnazania? Go to both! They are both beautiful countries believe me.

    Become proficient at using Photoshop. I can help you there. I use this and a whole list of other designing and video editing software extensively. Not to mention 3D modeling and animations!

    Visit South Africa. My advice, make sure you book everything through a respectable company. There are many dangers, crooks and what not. Research the places you want to go see and book good tours. Go see the Drakensberge, its very beautiful there. Cape Town is just as beautiful and full of cultures. There are many other places to mention. But I have to point out. Come see Namibia too while you are down here. The red deserts are a sight for sore eyes. Victoria falls at the northern borders are just as indescribable as the Skeleton Coast National Park with all its shipwrecks, some dating far back into history.

    Too tired atm to come up with a full 10, but the key ones for now:


    - Attain a PhD in Psychology.

    - Publish research in an academic journal.

    - Spend several months exploring/backpacking through New Zealand.

    - Find an apartment/small house that allows pets, after which I plan to raise/own a dog or cat (or both).

    - Settle down in the Northwest (although the Vancouver area would be just as good! :eusa_danc).

    - And the most important: Find a guy (or maybe girl) to spend the rest of my life with.
