For me, I have two:

Constructing Winterfell in Minecraft, and getting down to some drawing. Going to do a detailed pencil drawing (maybe grey shaded, might color with crayons (I like the ease of shading, shut up)) of Captain Jack Sparrow, with hat and coat with the Pearl in the background.

Developing my revision program [http://sourceforge.net/projects/revisaid/] a bit more intensively, and I'm also supposed to be programming a small game that me and my friend have brainstormed. I also need to start hiking/exercising ^_^ that sort of counts.

Starting my own Video review series.

I'm picking up my camera on Thursday so hopefully I'll be getting this off the ground eventually.

There's a lot of older classic games that I've been meaning to play but just haven't had the time to do so.

I bought Planescape: Torment and the two Baldur's Gate games last week during the buy one, get one free sale on Good Old Games. I've always wanted to play them, but never really had the drive to actually get them before that sale.

As far as actually-important life projects... my husband and I have been working hard and putting in a lot of extra hours to save up enough money to finally look into getting a house. We don't have a dream home in mind, nor do we want anything big or fancy... just something to call our own and get us out of the apartment we're currently living in. Progress has been slow, but steady, since he's also trying to pay off old debts (he'll be debt-free by May) and I'm trying to pay off the last of my university debt (one semester's worth of debt left!). So yeah, we expect we'll have a place of our own within a year or two.

Yep, in future going to make a webcomic.
People always say when I complain about crappy superhero ladies being just boobs and little else, they say `go make your own`.
So I shall.
Eventually, just now I'm focusing on more IRL stuff like getting a house.

One of my life ambitions is to find the best root beer commercially available.
Personal tastes aside, I believe it's possible. Much like beer/wine/vodka/whatever, there are criteria that determine the quality of root beer. Opacity, aroma, flavor intensity, even things like quality of foam when pouring and how easily it goes down.
For example, A&W has superb flavor and aroma, but I've always found it foams up entirely too much when drunk. It can only be taken in small sips, but even then it bloats the stomach some. Old Town root beer has a milder flavor that is pleasing but not overwhelming, and goes down much easier.
Among other things, I'm a chef. This stuff is important to me.

Life.
Growing up.

No really. I keep putting off all this adult shit. I need to get my license, I have to let my dentist have a look at my wisdom teeth, and I have to talk to the bank about my future.

Recording some stuff for my Let's Plays. But I need to finish off Mass Effect 2!
And school and stuff too I guess.

Learning fluent Gaelic Irish. First CDs and workbook arrived yesterday, along with a computer based learning program. So, starting that this afternoon, providing I don't pass out after the 21 hour work day I had yesterday.

On a more long term scale, I've cut my goals down to two major ones. I'll either be building a house here, or relocating to Ireland.

I just had mine taken out recently. All four in one go. I kept putting it off, and putting it off, and putting it off... it took me over ten years to finally do it, and by the time I did, my whole face was constantly throbbing in pain. Don't put off getting them out like I did. If I'd just gotten it done early-on, it would have been no big deal whatsoever. The horror stories everyone told me were worse than the actual operation, go figure.

I really want to make this cool NERF compatible blaster from the latest issue of Make magazine.
I also want to practice my instruments more, but I find it hard to find the time.

1. Getting into SCAD
2. Building up a decent buffer for my upcoming webcomic
3. Moving all the comics from one of my other webcomics off one site and onto another site while still drawing new stuff for it.
4. Building up some credit as a "Game Reviwer" with my new review/interview series, iPod Interviews

I'm also a full time student right now, and working on a lot of side projects not listed here.

So basically...lots and lots of drawing, typing and homework. Yay me.

I'm currently writing a dialog script for a 20+ hour long video game. This script include all spoken dialog, text, item descriptions, ability descriptions, EVERYTHING.

I haven't touched it in a month, and I'm only about 1/4 done. I really need to get back to it x_x

I'm in the process of collecting bits together to upgrade my car. I'm not talking huge exhaust or any of that rubbish though, I started with a sports car and I'm building on that. Sure is expensive though.

I'm currently involved with the delicate and exhaustive process of making a sculpture out of pure dried liquid paper.
