21. Write/blog about books and films that I read and see.
I have an LJ community where I post notes and quotes from books I've read if you want to comment on any you've read.
It's here.
Oh how cool that ur time ticks away to ur birthday! Very nice list! Good luck. =)
Thanks orbitaldiamonds and kimz!
I've bookmarked both of you, and will comment on your lists later in the week when I get a moment.
:)
Cool! Thanks!
You have a lot of neat goals too! I enjoy the variety and wish you the best as you go out and complete them!
As fas as what I'm most excited about on my list, it's a tough call. They are all unique and rewarding in their own way. I'm excited to complete a lot of the fitness goals over the summer. A lof of them will also provide several opportunities such as the musical endeavors listed and travel. How about you? What are your favorites?
Keep in touch!
Leah - I'm looking forward to getting through a ton of books! Also the travel and some of the creative challenges. In the short term, I am really looking forward to getting a laptop.
What a great list!
My favorites are: 11 (send 101 postcards); 35 (bake a cake for a present); 70 (see 30 films at the cinema); 81 (grow a beard in the style of Dr Gregory House) and most of all of the last section. You have some fantastic goals!
Thanks Bethany! Your list looks pretty cool too :)
I keep experimenting with the beard, but so far I seem to go a week without shaving then get sick of having facial hair... But I'll get there!
very good list, good progress as well! Check out mine, I borrowed a couple of your gaming ones for my list :)
Thanks for the comment! Im yet to play through without skipping at least one cut scene! Bad really, but theyre sooooo long... Im gonna do my list in university rather than the 1001 days which should be interesting =)
@Anonymous: Apparently you do like making anonymous comments on blogs though. Does that work well for you?
