Love your list AND the name. So would mine be Melissit or Mellit List? This is a hard one.. hmmm...

Alexandra Crocodile said...

i don't have a list, is that bad? maybe i should make one... i have to think about it:) and what would my name be? alexandrait? nonono... alexit? help me!

Logical Libby said...

Maybe you should just borrow an African Gray parrot first. My Mom has one, and he is a JERK. That way you won't have to put "get rid of this damn parrot" on your next Beckit list.

Eric said...

Heck of a list there...

Say, could you make things more efficient by maybe combining some of those?

Sure, some of them won't work well at the same time, such as 'go scuba-ing' while 'read all the books'.

I love reading people's beckit/bucket lists. I may have to revisit my own! Oh, and live in SF again? DO IT.

Nikki said...

When you do some of those things. Can I come visit you? Like when you live in sf again, or on a sailboat. Or on a sailboat in sf?

I want to go back to Europe too. And write a book. And make out with Becky. (That's you.)

Fizzgig said...

Visit australia, and live on a farm with whatever animals I want.

Sarah P said...

Good list!

Mine list goes like this:

Try to not fuck up very much.

Steam Me Up, Kid said...

It puts the goals in the beckit.

Goals = lotion. It's a metaphor.

PS: I want to swim with a dolphin and make friends with a horse. For real.

I love this so much. I want to change my name to Becky so that I can have this list and that it would still make sense. I just don't want to die soon, that is all.

mrs. l- i think i'm partial to melissit. i think i would like a melissit for a pet.

ac- oh em gosh! you haven't lived until you've listed! what are you even thinking???? we'll def go with alexit.

ll- i dunno, i've heard both. i love birds and i think you just have to have the time and get them at the right age... i'll keep it in mind. i'm hoping to force my future offspring to guiltily take my baby parrot when i die. fun times.

eric- why thanks. listen, i don't care how they get done, just that it happens. i'm a finisher.

hc- i'm totes always dreamin' about the sf life. *memories face*

nikki- yes, you may. we can have a perfectly photographed sailboat party with games.

owo- MAKE OUT WITH BECKY!!!! WOOOO!

fizzy- that sound loverly :)

sp- way to harsh my vibe man. geez :)

smuk- tip: horses like carrots and dolphins like fish. DONE! you're welcome.

cj- good goal. i think i'll add that. although, i don't want to jinx myself.

chelle- i can totes give you sushi lessons! i don't have any other resources for the rest. sorry.

I've been meaning to write a post like this for ages. you've inspired me to have one up by the end of this weekend.

There's at least half a dozen things our lists will have in common! Sadly the name 'beckit' won't be one of them.. a 'nelit' list doesn't sound nearly as cool..

Hezabelle said...

Great list! I wish mine had a cool name!
