Life List

[pegkerr]

I think I will put this in as a separate entry, so that I can add it to my memories list. I plan to revise it continually to add other ideas. If you have more suggestions, send 'em my way!

Organizing principle: To take growth-promoting risks so that I can live life as fully as possible.

Re: Gaelic fiddle

*swoons* Irish music on the violin? I really need to listen to that. I adore the violin, but I am afraid I am simply not talented when it comes to music: I was always a mediocre singer, and I did try to learn piano when I was 10 or so but I obviously did not have the skill (or the patience). I am fascinated by musicians, I used to know a couple at school who were absolutely amazing (and I have no doubt have quite the career in music right now), and, as silly as this will sound, I regret not drawing them while they played!

As for the list, I really need to do my own, but I am afraid planning too far ahead never works for me - life is certainly not easy to predict, and truth be told, I have no idea what I want to be doing in ten years, and, considering I just turned 19, I am assuming that is perfectly natural. But I suppose some serious thinking about what I want to accomplish in life can´t hurt, so I will give it a try. ;)
