Things to Do Before I Turn 35
1. Get a tattoo (either below my neck or on the lower part of my back that says "On ne naît pas femme : on le deviant" ("Woman is not born: she is made" - Simone de Beauvoir).
2. Spend a hedonistic weekend in Amsterdam (I'll leave the interpretation of "hedonistic" up to you).
3. Learn how to ride a bike (sad to say, I haven't learned up to this point).
4. Learn how to bellydance.
5. Make a good German Chocolate Cake like my grandmother.
6. Visit City Lights bookstore in San Francisco.
7. Re-watch "The Exorcist" (that movie so horrified me when I was little that I still haven't seen it a second time).
8. Drink a really expensive wine, scotch or whiskey (just to see what it tastes like).
9. Visit my friend Dave in LA.
I have until June 11th to complete this list. Any other suggestions?Posted by Nattie Hattie at 4:00 PM

4:46 PMI've actually done three of these (and no, I don't have a tattoo or know your friend Dave).

No suggestions, but I will be happy to:
--Go to Amsterdam - sounds like a good side trip on my journey in London
--Go to LA - was there a few months ago but can always go back
--Go to City Lights bookstore - and can show you a few hundred other cool things in SF
--Drink expensive alcohol - will be a break from my typical cheap drinking!
--Pretty much anything on your list - I'm not getting a tattoo as I have a ridiculous fear of pain, but I'll be there when you get one!

Nattie Hattie, I'd like you to participate in my next Raw Story op-ed, where a number of bloggers from across the country are talking about where they'd spend $100 these days, politically speaking. Please email me (it's at the bottom of my web page/column) if you're interested. Deadline is tomorrow night (2/5), but I can give you until Monday if you're intererested.
Please confirm the city and state you're blogging from (sorry if this makes me sound like a nitwit).
Best,
Nancy

AnotherDem and I will buy you #9 as your birthday present. A drink of one, that is. :-)

Hey Nattie,
You have nice blog here and you produce some of the best content over on the Drinking Liberally blog as well.
We can discuss your list sometime, but really the only thing I ever dream about anymore is convincing a doctor to put me into a medically induced coma. Thirty-five would be a wonderful goal to shoot for.

To tell you the truth, I didn't think the expensive wine I drank was any better than the cheap-shit three-buck-chuck from Trader Joe's. It's all a matter of snootiness, IMHO--you blindfold a wine snob, he probably can't tell the difference either :)

How about play charades with some of the folks hanging out in Washington Park?

I bought a $10 shot of expensive whiskey at a pub in canada. You get like a 2 mm fill and you're supposed to touch it to your lips. I did this twice, and then just gulped it. It tasted like whiskey. But I'm un-refined like that. :-)
