I read it and loved it. It's kind of creepy how much we are alike when it comes to random things. You got me thinking of rewriting my list (We had to write one when I was in the 5th grade). Some of these I've done and it's kind of weird to think how much "simple" things I've taken for granted like #53 visiting Martin Luther Kings home. I live in Georgia so going to his brith place, church, and burial place is kind of a normal field trip in school. #11 I wan 3 kids too, 2 boy and 1 girl. #2 of course I would love to do that! I've writen 156 pages so far; and I still have a few chapters to go #61 I've done, there's a Callaway Gardens down here and they have a huge Butterfly garden. I would love to do #41-44 and 46, 52 would be cool, #5 I've always wanted to be an extra ever since I saw my cousin was in spider-man 2 as an extra.

I could go on forever how much of your list is like mine

BTW I've also done #100

Hello, Warrior Princess! I hope your day is going well.

I took the time to read through your bucket list, unlike you probably thought. According to number one hundred on your bucket list, you called the bucket list itself meaningless and long and said that you doubted anyone would read it. Well, hun, I proved you wrong: I read it. And I did not think it was meaningless, and though it was long, I did not mind that. I have always thought about writing myself up a bucket list, especially after the movie The Bucket List, but have never really followed through and written one. Maybe because I have this remarkable idea that somehow scientists will come up with a way to live forever and, I don't know. I don't like thinking about death.

However, I can identify with a few of your bucket list wishes. Some of them were just brilliant! You do seem to have high goals, which is fantastic, and have definitely set the bar high for yourself in life, which I like a lot. You don't see a whole lot of driven young people nowadays.

Warrior Princess wrote:2. Write and publish several novels

I might not publish several, but I have always wanted to publish one. Great goal, young writer.

Warrior Princess wrote:85. Get a tiny dog that can fit in my purse

Kind of reminded me of Legally Blonde and those type of movies.

Warrior Princess wrote:97. Learn photography

God, this is a good one. Perhaps my favorite. Message me anytime if you want some tips! I happen to be a photography geek.

This is cute. I hope you fulfill all your wishes on your bucket list.

Wow, I need to make one of these. I was glad to see that I've done at least some things on your list, but I haven't done too many. Well, I'm inspired to write my own, and even if this isn't exactly something to review it's definately an interesting way to learn about somebody. Hope you meet your aspirations.
Keep writing,
StoryWeaver

Ahoy. :3
I really love reading things likes this since it gives some surprising insight about people. (And they're easy and entertaining, but that doesn't sound as fancy.)
Basically, I'm writing this dinky review to tell you that this inspired me, like Story said, to write my own bucket list. So thanks for the inspiration.
Much loves,
Bunny

3. Save someone's life

Someday, you will decide to talk to the annoying beef-and-cheese bald man while you wait at the stop light. You will pursue your discussion of broccoli even after the light turns green, saving you both from the semi that hurtles down the street, killing everyone who did step across the street.
I have prophesied.

65. Go to school dressed like a guy

Don't girls do that all the time these days?

89. Name a star after someone

Possible. But it takes money. I read somewhere that you can name a star after yourself (or someone else) and it goes down into history books as your star.
Somewhere.

Hello there
Yikes, this is a lot. I like your innovative list, haha. I think I should make one of these to keep my life entertained.

90. Be rich . . .

91. . . . and famous

92. Just go on a massive shopping spree

Yes, yes and yes! I think I'll be working on these three things this year .
This is very inspiring; thank you for posting it!
Keep writing and good luck!

Cross # 100 off your list. Obviously, people have read this. This is awesome. My mom laughed at me when I made my bucket list. But ya never know, I just might die tomorrow. Or today, depending on my mood. Just kidding....Aneeewaaaysss, awesome. Awesome awesome awesome...Ok, said it all. Bye!

Hi,

I went through after and checked off the ones I've done!

If this was my bucket list, I would be halfway to dead :s

cary thoughts. Fun read though!

~Retro Disco666

This is a pretty nice list, interesting. However, it seems as if you're just listing things (actually, that's exactly what you did). Having a list isn't bad, however you need to add a lot more detail to each item. I suggest adding more information such as how you want to do it, how you think you'll do it, why it is important to you, etc. Because you won't want to type 101 paragraphs, I suggest you compile them. The easiest example is the following:

Warrior Princess wrote:I think the title is pretty self-explanatory. This is my bucket list. Be warned, it's pretty long!
41. Learn to play the guitar . . .
42. . . . and the violin . . .
43. . . . and the drums . . .
44. . . . and the harp . . .
45. . . . and the bagpipes.

Make it all into one big category: "Learn to play instruments A-E"

I'm not trying to be over critical, you have a wonderful idea, I just feel it isn't a formal piece of writing, but rather simply a post made on a website. Also, get rid of the smilies, that makes it a forum post, something posted on the internet that will never be published. Smilies are used to express emotion, use words to do this.

Three Words:

This was interesting.

Im not sure if this is what you want to do before you die or if this was written in the point of view of someone else, but i really liked this.(: it spoke to me. maybe i'll make a list.

you said burn something... might I suggest a couch?

Us West Virginia Uneversity fans LOVE to burn couches. Don't know why, we just do.

Cool list, geuss like everyone else said you need to cross off 100 a lot of the things you want to do are really easily done, very inspirational

I don't think I know anyone who wouldn't want to go travelling around. It is definitely an aspiration of mine. Except I'd replace England with America - being English and all that. I'd love to visit the middle east, which you may find odd, but I think the lifestyles over there are a hell of a lot different to what the news makes them out to be.

This is an interesting "piece", but there's nothing to critique. If I started poking holes in grammar, it'd be stupid. This is a personal bucket list, a pretty optimistic one to be sure, but all the same quite a lot of the things on it are all worthwhile experiences.

Ben,
