"Bucket list" comes from the phrase to "kick the bucket" I think, if you hadn't worked that one out yet :)
As for my list, even after reading everyone else's I can't think of a single thing. I'm too lost in the world to come up with anything other than woolly, naive clichés about true love, saying something that changes someone's life and making the world a better place, which, while by no means unattainable, aren't really goals so much as the dreams of society that I've chosen to identify with more than others. Maybe I'll never have a serious list; maybe I'll find a sense of direction when I'm more grown up. Until then... I'll be back to work again. Damn you, IIN! Why so addictive?
That mental leap was not coming to me at all. I just kept envisioning a bucket full of pieces of paper all with "To do" written on them. For a man who does cryptic crosswords for fun, I can be way too literal at times.
What's on your bucket list?
