one day i will live, and it will be fabulous


deeds to do before i die...



get a tattoo of a swallow on my ankle

write a novel about truth, beauty and love



board with my friend gen in a little wallpapered house, stuffed with threadbare couches, scented with incense, and filled with the crackly sound of old records


drink ten times my weight in tea


change someone's life irrevocably





become a vegetarian

cut my hair like audrey hepburn's in roman holiday, or maybe dye it red as flames



dance on a sheet of bubble-wrap in the middle of the city

travel to iceland... (I'm not sure why, but it's always sounded very beautiful)

live


what is a deed you would like to do before you die? i'd love to know... :)

    what a beautiful list.

    my deed would have to be - make a change.
    this could be big or it could be small, just something i am proud of.

  3. Sv: Thank you! :) Yes I have the title of my blog from Lykke Li. <3

    What a lovely list. Before I die I want to have lived in both Japan and New York, and I also want to write at least one book.

  4. oh my gosh, we are so alike [in a good way, of course]! i'm so desperate to get a sparrow/swallow tattoo, although i'm terrified of the pain! i love to read & it'd be magical if i could write my own book :) yes, i'd like to live before i die! i adore tea, and oh, you must be brave, cutting off all your hair like audrey! roman holiday was so lovely, i adore black & white movies! and gosh, "drink ten times my weight in tea" i think i've already done that by now :) red hair is amazing, i would love to do that, although i don't think it would go down too well - i'm asian, after all ♥

  5. Lovely list, I've never made one of these on papers, simply keep one mentally, but I suppose a must forget a number of things that way.

    Belated thanks for your sweet comment! ♥

  7. I like your list very much. I used to be a vegetarian, and I plan on becoming one one day in future again (I eat chicken now)...and I've probably already drank 10X my weight in tea (I drink several cups of sencha a day)...
    I want to have a lovely place of my own (I mean really mine, not owned by a bank, these things matter to me)...with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and books to fill them, a kitchen that is cozy and functional, and a peace of peace and warmth...
