seeing how many people loves to write here, to write a book should be on your list.

from your current list:

1: Visit every continent. (2 of them visited)

2: Fall in love. (done, currently have a gf)

3: Wake up not knowing where you are or how you got there. (done, not the most pleasant experience though)

4: Get a tattoo. (pass)

5: Get a piercing. (done, ear)

6: Write a song. (done, it sucks but it is done)

7: Paint a picture. (will do)

8: Make a stranger's day. (if by this you mean helping a stranger to make his life better, then done)

9: Tell someone you hate exactly how you feel. (fists count?)

10: Learn a foreign language. (done, learned english =D)

11: Get a penpal, write handwritten letters. (not a penpal, but I do like to write handwritten letters, it may sound egocentric, but I like my own handwriting a lot)

    2: Fall in love.

    3: Wake up not knowing where you are or how you got there.

    4: Get a tattoo. Won't ever do.

    5: Get a piercing. Won't ever do.

    6: Write a song.

    7: Paint a picture.

    8: Make a stranger's day.

    9: Tell someone you hate exactly how you feel. Did that managed to get them expelled from school for drug dealing too :D.

    10: Learn a foreign language. Did in school, albeit not very well...

    11: Get a penpal, write handwritten letters. Did that with a girl who ended up a long-distance girlfriend for a short time, we've since split up but I still have the letters she sent kept in a safe place :D.
[/h4]
Some of my answers to that list are in the quoted box. As for me, I want to:

12: Represent a game developer in a booth at somewhere like PAX or wherever.

13: Go on a parachute jump.

14: Meet a girl and take her to a bunch of different romantic places, like seeing the Aurora Borealis in the north, and visiting Paris and Rome and Prague and so on with her.

Tried this once, had something to do with Area 51 and zombies, only got one page down and thought to myself, "Yeah, this isn't gonna work." and gave up.

Good sir, I suggest you move outside your comfort zone.

To you failed novelists, crappy songwriters, unskilled painters - the key is the effort. You never know what you're good at 'till you try it, and you had the balls to try. I love you all.

3. Cause a species to go extinct.

...yup. I'm going to file these under "personal goals". And Starcraft taught me that there is no cow level. I'm going for more universal appeal here. Then again, I do have tattoos and piercings there.
