What is something that you would love to do in theory, but never actually do?

Asked by Blackberry (34189points) February 17th, 2012

Sometimes I have a very strong urge to take a few things with me, and start taking road trips everywhere and just sleep in my car (essentially go homeless and explore). Or, buy a ticket to some random country of my liking and try to establish a life there out of nothing.

How about you?

Overnight camping.
(I immediately change my mind when the urge to poop arises.)

Leave everything behind and travel the world.
Get a sleeve tattoo of a dragon in rich cobalt blue and emerald green.

Rock climbing and rapelling (which I did more than 40 years ago)
Hangliding and sailplaning

Leave work early…

@LuckyGuy Be still my beating heart! I’ve already seen your tractor, don’t think I could stand more excitement.

Hike the Appalachian Trail for a month or so. That is until I read another story on yet another Appalachian trail murder :/

janbb's avatar

Hike the length of the Appalachian Trail. (The width I’ve hiked but that’s another story.)

Yes, I like to fantasize about moving to another country randomly myself. But, my little micro-farm stops me. How to smuggle geese past customs and Marywn wouldn’t do well in salt water on a beach somewhere. He’s pool, hot tub and river goose. lol

Right now I’d say I ACTUALLY WANT TO GO OUT. I’m so busy.
Anyways, there are some things I’ve been wanting to do for lord knows how long. I actually call it my bucket list now:
-Surf.
-Roller skate.
-Go to Russia.
-Go to Bora Bora (French Polynesia), and Hawaii, and Fiji.
-Become a camera collector.
-LOSE WEIGHT, and get a tight stomach.
-Be nice.
-Stop being forever alone.
-Wakeboarding.
-Learn how to even stand on a skateboard.
-I could go on forever but I’ll stop there. (When I remember something worth remembering I’ll write it down.)
I really want to surf though.

—Oh and finding the ‘man’ of my dreams might be one too. Although it’s impossible. I have pretty high standards. – Posh face. -

Torture some orphans and learn how to do ice sculpting.

@SpatzieLover Me too! But I was detered by the violence as well, what a drag :( We hiked a lot of it over the years. Good times.
(but we camped in state parks).

SpatzieLover's avatar

Skateboard. It looks like so much fun.

Luiveton's avatar

Oh and bungee jumping too.

Blackberry's avatar

@SpatzieLover Yeah, many of my friends were skaters in high school. I could never get it down, though.

SpatzieLover's avatar

Me either @Blackberry. As soon as I step on a board I feel like a huge DORK!

Slow dance for hours with someone who knows how to do it well!
*Have a lobster dinner in Maine.

sky diving
scuba diving
take a year long (or longer) road trip

@ucme I suggest you sign up for cooking lessons for the both of you

ucme's avatar

@YARNLADY Alas your well intentioned advice must fall on deaf ears i’m afraid.
I myself know my way around the kitchen, the wife, gawd bless her cotton socks, is a lost cause, in that regard, a fact she freely admits. Still, she more than makes up for it in the bedroom…...which is nice.

YARNLADY's avatar

@ucme both my son and my adult grandson solve that problem by doing all their family cooking

Pardon me, you’ll have to speak up dear.

Have steamy, hot sex with Johnny Depp.

Or, like you, just pack a few belongings and travel everywhere.

janbb's avatar

Have steamy hot sex. Just kidding. :-P

Two chicks at once, man.

Contact the dead!

Berserker's avatar

Actually @Blackberry, I’d like to do pretty much the same thing. Just grab a bag with some few necessities, and go live as a hobo in Europe. See what happens. But eh, while I was seriously pondering it a few times, I don’t really see it ever happening.

Zip line through the rain forest with happy brownies in my backpack….wheeeeee!

OpryLeigh's avatar

I would love to get a number of tattoos but because my boyfriend is really not a fan, I won’t.
