Once you've heard the truth, everything else is ju
Well, lessee, I've already done 1, 4, 6, and 9. That leaves:
2 visit New Zealand (lurrrrrrves them mountains)
3 go on a safari (camera only, not looking to cap any big game)
5 go into outer space (unlikely, but one never knows)
7 meet Chuck Heston (I do believe I waited a tad bit too long for that)
8 tell Random House they're outta luck, S&S already got me in a pre-empt (it could happen)
10 see one of my novels on the big screen...making viewers happy they came (hey, I'm happy I wrote 'em)

smoke on the water, that's why.

We all came out to montreux
On the lake geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didnt have much time
Frank zappa and the mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky..........

Gosh... Well, I think I've done enough traveling and living abroad to satisfy me for quite a long time. I'll do more if I get the chance but it's not a big "need." Actually I can't say there's really anything I NEED. I'm pretty content. But things I'd like to do...

1) Get a book published.
2) Learn to read, write, and speak Chinese.
3) Get several books published.
4) Love my husband more. Forever.
5) Do more to REALLY HELP people in need.

I guess that's it, really. I'm easy to please. "Have some babies" might appear on the list sometime in the future, but not right now.

1. Become a famous, rich and respected novelist
2. Visit (and possibly live in for a while) Japan
3. Tour safe, trendy, beautiful locales in South America and kiss some pretty local ladies...
4. Repeat step 3 in all other inhabited continents...
5. Make a movie or two, or at least write one, or at least cameo in one
6. Learn to play guitar or piano (or both) well enough to release a subpar, self-indulgent jazz/rock/soul/rap fusion album that still sells decent numbers because I'm already famous / popular, but years later it gets justifiably panned on VH1's new special "Worst Records of the 21st Century."
7. Fall in love & make some babies.
8. Save somebody's life.

You know, I've never met a woman who said that having two men at once was her fantasy. I wonder why that is?

The circle you run with doesn't contain enough bad girls?
