Seven things I would like to accomplish on this list

This list of 50 nerdy things to do before you die from The Park Bench blog includes several of my geek girl all-time dreams. Here are the seven I would love to do:


  1. #38. Draw a map of a nonexistent or fictional place.
  2. #7. Feel again like you felt the first time you saw "Star Wars."
  3. #27. Go to an underground sing-along screening of the Buffy Musical. (When Buffy is outlawed, only outlaws will sing-along to Buffy.)
  4. #24. Witness a live space shuttle launch. Extra points if you're piloting it.
  5. #16. "Accidentally" get locked in a bookstore for seven or eight days.
  6. #9. Make out with Joss Whedon or J.K. Rowling. Extra points if you achieve a two-fer.
  7. #1. Live to see the day when smart and witty wins out over hot and shallow every single day of the week.
Runners up:
#31. Build your own lightsaber.
#6. Correct Alex Trebek on the pronunciation of something French. Consequently hold him when he cries.
#5. Figure out what the hell "Lost" is about. [This item also works for "The Prisoner," "Twin Peaks," "Cloverfield," and the popularity of Oprah.]
#4. Solve a New York Times crossword puzzle...with your eyes closed. Just kidding. Doing one in pen with no mistakes in under 10 minutes is good, too.
