Progress
Originally posted 5/8/07, I have a list of goals I'd like to accomplish by the time I'm thirty. Let's see how we're doing...
1.Go back to school.
2. At least be engaged to that gorgeous man of mine. This makes me laugh since most of the time I don't give a crap about this - I'm guessing when I originally wrote this list I was in a certain mood.
3. Make my Buffy movie.
4. Weigh less than or equal to 130 pounds. Gah, this one just depresses me
5. Finish The Dark Tower series.
6. Drive stick.
7. See all the movies on Bravo’s 100 Scariest Moments List.
8. Learn to cook. Besides Mac n Cheese. Although I feel can't completely delete this one yet, I've definitely added more than Mac n Cheese to my culinary acheivements. So we'll say this one is in progress...
9. Enter a pop culture trivia contest.
10. Be in a play.
11. Shoot a gun. This one should be remedied shortly. We have the guns, we just need to find the time and go to the cabin.
12. Paint a picture. I actually have one in progress right now! I'm really happy to have started to get back into this, even if I feel my creative juices are a bit dry so the picture itself is kind of boring.
13.Volunteer.
14. Learn how to dance. Like properly.
15. Watch all of the commentaries and podcasts for my Battlestar Galactica DVDs. I really feel that this is never going to happen. There is just too many...
16. Beat Paper Mario.
17. Get in the habit of reading a newspaper regularly.
18.See No Doubt in concert, so they better get back together soon.
19. See Rufus Wainwright at least twice more. He needs to come to St Louis at some point, because that would really help me out.
20. Invest.
21. Play a paper and pencil RPG. I've created a character, but haven't actually played yet.
22. Learn how to throw a punch. I'm getting better at this, but I don't think I'm ready to fight yet so I guess I can't cross it off the list.
23.Find the perfect pair of black mary janes.
24. Learn to hem pants – think of the possibilities!
25.Stop giving a rats ass about American Idol.
26. Play craps.
27.Live in a house. Or at least NOT a one bedroom apartment. Hello two (kind of three) bedroom apartment! You're so wonderful and big and maintenance free!
28. Learn how to make the perfect margarita.
29.Get an eye exam
30. Take Greg camping.
So, after two years I've managed to take off 7 things. Not all that great, but taking #1 off the list is pretty fantastic - and contributes to the fact that I don't have all the time to take care of some of these.
