How I did it: I attended a Jars of Clay concert last December. They support the organization Blood: Water Mission, and sold stainless steel water bottles during the show. I use mine all the time, and it reminds me of how lucky we are here to have access to clean water in the first place. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I finally saw the movie w/ Kirsten Dunst last year, and loved the costumes. Incidentally, Marie and I share a birthday. That's where the similarity ends. I'm not rich, so I found an Elizabeth Swann dress on eBay and a giant crinoline skirt at Goodwill. I modified the dress a with gold bows down the front. I found a great cheap "powdered" wig, and stuck a few of those black spider rings in it. I did the bloody gash and skin puttty thing ac… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I resisted watching it for the longest time, because I'm not really into sappy movies. Man, was I wrong. This was much more than just a chick flick. I really loved the art direction and costumes. Yes, Ryan Gosling's hot, and I really dig a few of his other movies. It was on cable back around Christmas. I watched it back-to-back, on a work night, until 4 in the morning, and cried both times. My grandmother is currently in th… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I've always done this. I love music, I love dancing, and I don't necessarily mind making an ass of myself. That's all it takes, really. Be it with friends or strangers, a wedding reception, a block party or a club, I kind of don't care. At some point, I'll get out there. Why not? Read how I did it…
How I did it: I had tickets to see him speak back in 2001, but the event was cancelled due in part that he'd come down with some sort of illness. In October of 2007, he came to Indiana (Purdue and IU Bloomington) to speak on "Cultivating Happiness."I drove the six hours to IU, and it was well worth it. He's engaging, funny, warm and personable. He spoke about seeking peace in a world in which it seems impossible... having compassion... being mindful... Read how I did it…
How I did it: I took a biology class in college in 2002, and we camped throughout Quetico Provincial Park for eleven days. It was a great experience. The water's so clean you can drink it out right of the lake.I really want to go back one day. Read how I did it…
How I did it: If you want to meet a band, musician or whatever, just remember that they just have a cooler job than you... treat them like anyone else, and enjoy the music for what it is. Read how I did it…
How I did it: In August of 2007, I went to visit my dad in Colorado. I decided I'd take a cross-country train ride there, drive a rental car 3 hours south to his town, drive back, and fly home. I left from Dyer, IN which took me to Union Station in Chicago. From there, I left for Union Station in Denver.The layover was about two hours, so I recommend bringing a book to read while hanging out in the station.I was a little creeped out at first, since thi… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Once I got braces, I no longer could bite my nails, or else I'd pop a bracket. (Or my teeth would hurt like a mother.)I just realized... eight months later, I no longer have the urge. And I just realized how gross I looked biting my nails either. I'm much happier being made fun of for other reasons. Read how I did it…
