I'm doing 36 things
Once I’ve finished bringing my Volvo C70 back from it’s “100k blues”, I want to get some money and friends together, and cruise Route 66 from beginning to end. (And back again, of course)

How I did it
It made me
"Duuuuude!" 
How I did it: Around 2004-2005 I was really into Psionics in general, focusing specifically on Psi manipulation (almost required for any Psi-based specialty) and telekinesis. With Psi manipulation I saw results immediately, however it took me nearly 2 weeks of 20 minute daily practice sessions on the psi wheel to get results in TK.

Anyways at 45 minutes, I did much better than I expected to. (considering I only did 3 days of refresher work beforehand.) The only times I used English were when I was unsure of how I phrased something in Japanese, and decided to type it in English as well for clarification.
