i've been meaning to compile one of these for a while. these are secondary but largely all-consuming goals of my life, aside from major boring ones about careers, life partners, and offspring.. i'd also be interested to hear any of your similarly awesome secondary but all-consuming life goals. (i say all-consuming, because i spend way more time thinking about these ones than the supposed major ones...)

I tried, but it ended up being typical things like "get married to a friend, have a baby, write, write, write, take photos, love, know shalom, sleep well, and eat dark chocolate."
