    I'd love to beat my mile time (7:54, I frankly suck), sing with my friends' band (although they barely know I'm interested in vocal music, so they always ask my bestie over me), and get into the advanced belts of judo. I'd love to learn how to digitally color or line-art my drawings, too.

    Oh, and I am dying to visit The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Florida :).

    Oh gosh, my mile time is like, 11 minutes. :eek: I was the fastest girl in my gym class, too. Running is just not my thing. At all.

    And I desperately want to go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter myself. :D

    There are tons of tutorials all over online that will teach you how to line art and color. Especially if you have PS, that's the most common, but you can find tutorials for almost every program out there. Deviant art is a good place to look too.

    PS is kinda pricey for a teenager on a budget, but I do have GIMP. It's not very user-friendly to sketches, though XD.

    My sister uses GIMP :D It most definitely takes some getting used to (so I'm told, she got all the artistic genes), and it took her about 6 weeks to get really good with it. It IS possible though and there are tutorials for it as well :D

    It's ironic because of my fear of heights, but I'm fascinated by extreme base jumping and would love the exhilaration of free falling and then gaining altitude as the wind pushes against you, ending it with the wingsuit floating you in arms-length of a cliff wall of some mountain in Norway (before safely landing on a soft patch of grass, ha).

    If I could do anything, I'd also wish to go to a taping of Johnny Carson's Tonight Show. The man is a legend, and I agree when people say he's the godfather of comedy. I wish I could've been alive to see his Tonight Show at night, instead of watching clips on Youtube, which is good, but not the same thing. I miss him. :(

    I'd also wish to see the Beatles live. My grandma saw them in 1965 in Minnesota and I'm completely jealous that she got to see them.

    At the moment, the only thing I really want to do is finish my novel and get it published. I'm determined to do it.
    You can do anything that you set your mind to. I really believe that.

    We saw him a few years ago. We'd been promising we would for years. Wow!
    Take sandwiches and flask!

    My Mum got to actually hear the Beatles lol although they were still Quarrymen/Silver Beatles at the time in the Cavern. :) Lots of people saw them a lot fewer heard them live.

    LOL by all accounts plastic drawers as well :) Apparently he has over run at every performance since the 50s. I have wanted to go all my life but he only comes as far as Glasgow ... my Dad lives in Southport keep meaning to go visit.

    Also, I'd love to try parkour or free-running. It just looks so exhilarating :).

    I'd love to get into an argument with Stan Lee. Not a discussion. An argument.

    The man is a legend. He created some of the greatest characters and stories of any generation imaginable, and he's humble to boot. I've never seen him get mad or upset over anything. Stan Lee always finds a way to shrug it off.

    That's why I want to get into an argument with him. Because it'll be hilarious to hear him get steamed over whatever the hell we're arguing about and I can live on knowing I had a verbal confrontation with Mr. Excelsior himself.

    Italy- me too.
    My great-great-grand parent came over here from Italy (I believe Florance) in the mid 19th century. So yes it's on my to do list. One day I'll get around to it.

    I'd love the ability to teleport.
    I mean, anything would be possible with teleportation.

    Or being able to Apparate. :p

    I've actually always wanted to be able to do that. When I was younger, I was so bummed when I didn't get my Hogwarts acceptance letter. I've always wanted to dive into the movies/books for a day or two and play around with magic. I wish that was possible.
