Gil Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I am at my moms house and she has a notebook in her closet from when I was a kid. In it, is a list of stuff I was going to do. Some things on the list are: Become rich but not faymous Have 3 girlfriends Make a movie Be awesome 24/7, 365 (in the years between leap years) Never be arrested Beat every boy in my class at video games use a wormhole not a machine to travel through time do the monkey bars win a golden trophy. Not a medul TROPHY See inside the factory Get [sisters name] back <--I can not remember what she'd done. Find the remote control Sell a car <--where I was going to get a car to sell, I do not know. 41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gil Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 I thought it was funny to see how I included items that were utterly nonsensical (sell a car, travel through time via wormhole) as well as more attainable feats such as get my sister back, win at video games and do the monkey bars. I'm glad I wasn't going to let a little thing like reality get in my way of achieving a goal. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie in VA Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 That's great. I hope you have never been arrested. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILiveInFlipFlops Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 That is the cutest list! You might be tired out from being awesome all the time, so it's good that you have that extra day this year to just worry about being pretty cool and not awesome :D 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCF612 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I love that you don't want to just travel through time but you specifically must do it through a worm hole and not a time machine! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minerva Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 LOL! How many of these things have you accomplished? Better start working on that wormhole (not a machine) so you can go back and find the remote. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Tick Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Awesome! I, too, loved the mix of attainable (do the money bars) and unattainable (get my sister back). I laughed about the "find the remote" one, because when I was of an age to write a list like that, remotes were attached to their subjects by wires. Not that we owned any, but my rich, older neighbors did. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 That is so awesome. You should have your boys write lists and keep the three lists together! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle in MO Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 That's so cute! I'm wondering if you wanted 3 girlfriends at one time :001_tt1: or over a span of time! lol 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gil Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 LOL! How many of these things have you accomplished? Not nearly enough. That's so cute! I'm wondering if you wanted 3 girlfriends at one time :001_tt1: or over a span of time! lol I wasn't particular, lol! I remember that there were 3 girls whose affection I'd have loved to have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storygirl Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 So funny! I like that you wanted to sell a car, instead of buy one. :auto: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidycat Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) I'm wondering if you ever found the remote. Or if you need that wormhole. :D My childhood/teen years spanned the age of get up and walk to t.v. to turn the dial to the ONE other station on what we affectionately termed "peasant vision", wire attached remotes (don't trip!), and cordless remotes. Now, we don't even have to push the buttons, just one then we talk to the remote!! I wish we has knobs that needed to be turned sometimes, as DH and DC channel surfing sometimes drives me batty!!

Guest Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I love this! What a great find! When I was probably 12-13, I wrote a list of what my eventual husband was supposed to be like. I sure do wish I still had that; it would be so funny to look at. i do remember that his first name should have been "Chris" (I guess I just liked that name at the time and figured as long as I was making a wish list, it couldn't hurt), and his last name was supposed to be obviously of French decent, because that was stylish and would make sense with my first name. :D 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 That is so awesome! The random mix of reality and fiction makes it just so wonderful. Do you get the show "Food Factory"? It's Canadian, but maybe there is an American equivalent. You get to see inside all the factories! My ds *loves* it! (I tend to never want to eat anything from the factories again when you see how dirty their machinery is.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes. If I want to watch Friends, I say Friends and it switches to that channel or tells me when it'll be on. Or we say the channel name like Disney, or the channel number and it "magically" changes channel.
