Everybody gets old! This is one of the oversights of most bucket lists I've seen: They only give you things to do that make sense when you are fit, fertile, and have the rest of your career to pay off any debts you acquire.
"Old age has it's pleasures, which, though different, are not unequal to the pleasures of youth." - W. Somerset MaughamI am collecting a list of treasured experiences available only to the dying and decrepit. If you have suggestions, by all means! I'd love to hear them. ^_^

- Die penniless. ("The man who dies rich dies disgraced." Andrew Carnegie)
Don't miss my other bucket lists! (They are a lot cooler right now)
If Mormons have it right, then when we die 1) We'll get perfect bodies that will never die again, 2) Earth will still be around for us to appreciate, and 3) Fun will not end. Wholesome recreational activities are part of maintaining a successful marriage, right? And we believe in eternal marriage. Well here's my list of epic date ideas for eternity, babe.

Bucket List of Now (The anti-tourist bucket list)
Bucket List of Things To Do As A Really Fetching Old Person
Bucket List of Things To Do As A Really Fetching Old Person
It's not about where you go. It's about what the journey does to your heart. It has nothing to do with other people thinking you're awesome and everything to do with conquering fear about what other people think. It's not about voodoo hippie magic... It's about willingly suspending disbelief long enough to remember that anything is possible.
And sometimes it's not about being the hero who gives, but being the one who loses. It's not about doing every thing, it's about never letting inhibitions cloud your feelings when opportunity is ripe. It's about exerting yourself to find meaning when life is crushingly empty.
You don't have to travel. Or jump out of a plane. Or read someone else's holy book.
But whatever you do,
Seek.
Give.
Conquer.
Meditate.
Create.
Sacrifice.
And do it on purpose.

And my personal favorite: Bucket List of Things To Do When I'm Immortal
Dear friends and followers,
I've decided to merge my two blogs, Confessions of a Perfect Person, and this one, Adventures of My Travelling Octopodes.
Confessions of a Perfect Person has been an anonymous blog where I explored my life struggles and shared my epiphanies, while hiding from judgement. I didn't want acquaintances to look sideways at me thinking, "You struggle with what?!?"
Adventures of My Travelling Octopodes has been a happy, bubbly rainbow place where I can dream and laugh and lighten my heart.
Our struggles and our dreams... We keep them separate, and I think this is a mistake.
I stopped posting in Confessions (stopped facing my problems) because spending too much time thinking about hard stuff weighed me down. I stopped posting Octopus pictures because my dreams weren't coming true. I hit a wall of massive depression, curled up into a ball for months and lost 10 pounds from anxiety.
Why do you come here? It's not really to live vicariously through a free-hearted girl who never grew up... It's because your life is hard, and you're looking for hope. I want to honor that.
If you only remember one thing about me, I want you to know that I struggled—so much—but I never. gave. up.
You want hope? The colorful, laughing imp... that is still truly me. But lest you think only perfect people can live this life, I wish you show you my demons for the first time. I want to prove that no matter what scars you bear or what wounds are still festering, happiness is possible NOW. I want perfect people to know as well... it is okay to struggle. And it's okay for others to see your struggles... In fact, it helps.
I'm going to keep posting on this URL ('cause it's prettier) but the blog title is officially changing to Adventures of My Traveling Octopodes: Confessions of a Perfect Person.
It will be a combination of the two: I need laughter to get through the hard times. And I need a problem-solving chalkboard where I can confront the monstrosities that keep me from my dreams.
The true story at last.
Comments appreciated!

“ADHD doesn’t make you awesome. I’m ADHD and I’m not
awesome.”
My little brother said this to me this morning, and it made
me want to cry.
ADHD people are my favorite. How can you not SEE
yourselves?
You are the coolest, most compassionate, most enjoyable people to be around! Let me show you why you deserve those superlatives:
You are the coolest, most compassionate, most enjoyable people to be around! Let me show you why you deserve those superlatives:
Reasons why ADHD makes you AWESOMER:
You care more. About life. About everything. You don’t give in to apathy. You are hard-wired for intensity. =) This makes you a blast to be around.
You don’t get attached to tasks, so when someone needs you, it’s easy for you to drop what you’re doing and run to the rescue. This is freaking AMAZING. You have your priorities straight.
You’re smarter. You switch tasks constantly because you crave new information. Then you remember that information, connecting it to other things you know until your mind has amassed a labyrinth of endless possibilities. =)
Maybe the reason all our geniuses failed out of school wasn’t because they were lazy. Maybe it was because their minds jumped all the time. Maybe that jumping is what allowed them to be geniuses.
Maybe the reason all our geniuses failed out of school wasn’t because they were lazy. Maybe it was because their minds jumped all the time. Maybe that jumping is what allowed them to be geniuses.
And speaking of lazy, you’re not. How could anyone think you’re lazy when you are so persistent? ADHD people are the hardest working, most driven people I know.
You’re funnier. You make learning fun by making hilarious jokes out of straightjackets like math. =) You're funnier because you’re smarter, and because you have a broader amount of experiences and words to draw on for material. To quote my 10 year old ADHD brother: “Why did the chicken cross the road? Well, if you describe it as a state function, it doesn’t matter.”
You
believe in yourself! (and yet, you are humble) You have big eyes for big
projects. Ooooh, you love a challenge! But you don’t let yourself believe
you’ve done well unless you accomplished the goal you set out to fix. Well,
sometimes the problems are bigger than you. Choosing an unsolvable problem doesn’t
make you inadequate. =)
You are so hard on yourself you don’t let yourself take breaks often enough. Go swing on a swing, sink your feet in the beautiful cool grass, and take a nap. You’ve totally earned it.

You will
never be boring. I recently hiked across two totally different trees—a
cottonwood and a juniper—that had grown together. Their trunks had fused
together so completely that they formed a single column. White on black, soft
on rough, evergreen on deciduous. Watching them locked together in their silent
eternal dance, suddenly the whole world reminded me of you.
You and the world
are both an endless stream of beautiful impossible secrets awaiting discovery
in rarely trodden places. You will never run out of ways to surprise me...
You’re excited by everything. You want to understand it all. Because of this,
we will never grow old. The world holds too much joy for you to ever not see it
with as much awe as you felt the first day you came.
You will
never lose your inner child. You don’t understand social norms, so you
don’t participate in them. This is OK. Social norms are pointless games we play to prove to others we're grown up. But no one really wants to grow up. Some people are just
better than others at pretending they like neckties and itchy pants more than
sit-and-spins. You like sit-and-spins. You’re not afraid to play with them in
public the moment the opportunity presents itself.
When you go home, please don’t be embarrassed that
you jumped in and took advantage of the moment. Everyone else goes home
regretting that they didn’t.
You never
sit still. Heard you described once as “an unstoppable dynamo of human
energy.” You’ll never get fat. And kids love you because you can keep up with
them forever.
You never
sit still internally either. Craving change leads you to opportunities for
personal growth that would terrify most people. But you have the courage of an
astronaut. You love growing. You NEED to challenge, to explore, to understand.
In combination with your thirst for equilibrium, this is inspirational. It’s
like you come with a warranty guaranteeing that you will make the world a
better place, and leave this world a better person.
Willing
to take risks. I thought all my brothers were going to grow up to be storm
chasers. You wonderful ADHD people never let a risk rob you of an amazing
opportunity to experience something new and exciting.
You
forget things sometimes. This means I get to tell you stories and jokes two
or three times before they get old. This is GREAT for me as a girl, because I
LOVE to talk, and you listen every time. =)
If it’s really important to me for you to remember, I know to write it down. And that’s fun too, because then I get to draw you notes with smiley faces on them. And I like drawing smiley faces. The more smiley faces I get to draw, the better my day gets.

Strong sense of what is fair. Injustice rattles your bones. You don’t always stand up for yourself, but holy cow… when you come to someone else’s rescue? It’s a beautiful thing to behold. Watch out momma grizzly.
You are
flexible and forgiving. Because you get it… you’ve been there.
You’re
late a lot. I love this for two reasons:
Firstly, you are good at being where you are. Experiencing the
present moment RIGHT NOW is a BIG deal to you. That’s why you’re late in the
first place… it’s hard for you to surrender the present moment in anticipation
of the next one.
Secondly, you being
late reminds me that time with you is precious. That I want you to be here.
That life is fragile and you might not always be around, and if you ever
weren’t I would miss you terribly. THEN when you are
here, you flex your talent of being Present... and every moment becomes a
glorious adventure.
You need
free time all by yourself. Which means I get free time too.
You are
SO wise. Because you CARE. Because you have a strong sense of what is fair.
Because you love experiences and you’re willing to take risks to get them. And
because you can connect ideas easily. You always have a unique perspective that
makes struggles easier.
Everything
is beautiful to you. http://xkcd.com/877/.
Even me. ^_^
3 simple realizations
that have made my relationship with you better when it gets a little hard
(as all relationships do):
(as all relationships do):
- You ARE trying your best. Your very best. You always do. That sincerity and passion and drive is who you are. Whenever you do something I don’t understand, I try to remember to ask why you did it. Because you usually have a very intriguing reason.
- Celebrating all your small victories energies you. Whether it’s being on time for something (wow! You must be really excited to be here!) or acing a quiz in a class you’re failing, I need to complement you…. to cheer you on and shower you with validation. Cinco De Mayo is one of my favorite holidays, because it commemorates a battle won in war that was lost. If the Mexicans can do that, so can we. And when we win wars, then we REALLY party.
- Whenever I’m stressed and forgetting that I love you, I stop and remember all the times you’ve made me laugh.
Sooooo... I'm a procrastinator. And I struggle to do things in order. Right now I'm updating Chapter 1, finishing up that story so that talking about NOW will actually make sense.
Sorry for the confusion! I update consistently 3 times a week. Please subscribe to be informed of new posts.
