Release 99 red balloons

well, i think i’m going to be doing this goal earlier than planned. this morning i woke up to some terrible news, so at the end of this event i want to release the last one in memory of my cousin. i love you, jessica.

i’ve always ALWAYS wanted to do this and cannot wait for the day that i actually do. all i know is that i want to do it on top of a hill while playing 99 red balloons. i also want 99 red balloons released at my funeral but hopefully that won’t happen for a longggg time.

one of my 43 things is to tie a wish to a ballon and let it go, so I’m going to try to get a whole whole lot of friends and divide the balloons up so each of my friends gets a few balloons. This way everyone can tie their wishes to balloons and then we can all let them go and it will be amazing. END.

If I were to fill each balloon with helium it would cost nearly fifty quid. So I have a new plan.

I will still release them, but not all together, and I may not fill them all with helium.

I will release them at different places at different points in time, write the place name on the balloon and what it means to me. I will get a picture and then tie the balloon to some object or let it go into the sky.

I was in a party store today to get ideas for fancy dress, and I was reminded of this by the balloon section.

I got 100 red balloons for my birthday not too long ago, and blew up one of them at the time. I could probably easily obtain some helium, but then… who should I release them with?

Probably my girlfriend, but more likely a load of people. I might release them all at once, then later get 99 more and release each one in a significant place in the world. Or something.

Obviously I’d do it with the song playing.

So yah =)
