I want to climb fun routes with fun people.
Sure, I want to get better, but have no real numbers to attach to that. How about:
V6, 5.11(sport), and 5.10(trad), and 5.12(TR)... that seems logical as it's a step up from my current high points (was that subtle spray?)
I also want to watch Krazykid send the Green Monster here at EKU, and to introduce him to top outs and trad climbs.
I want to play some music in Lex, so you lazy climbers will maybe come see me (like you won't be this saturday, 8pm, live wire coffee shop in Richmond (was that less than subtle self promotion?).

What does 5.10b translate to in v grades,roughly? v2?

Along on the party train I would say that having fun and challenging myself are my perpetual goals.
To be more specific though, I would like to get started on leading trad lines and continuing leading sport lines that are grades above my on-sight capabilities. Since that is pretty low I have a lot to look forward to!

Probably V0-V1. I'm just guessing, though.

It can be tricky to translate, but here is a chart:

I would like to be able to place gear without so much trial and error!

Although I'm getting better, it's not a matter of just fearing that I'll walk away with a broken bone. Sometimes there is just a chemistry between the belayer and a climber that enables the climber to relax and just climb.

Good link ,wes. Theres even a scale in Oz. Who knew Dorothy could climb? Oh wait I forgot about them free soloing up to the wicked witches castle. Looked like Ao to me, they were pulling on the lions tail.
Artsay,you were right.
