learn to do a backflip
Who am I kidding? 2 months ago

I’m not even all that sure what a backflip is. And my back’s so stiff I struggle to put my underpants on. I think it’s time I admitted that this one ain’t going to happen.



learn C# (read all 2 entries…)
I'm confused 7 months ago

A link to this goal said “Learn C+”, but the goal is “Learn C#”. Also, the main “How I did it” story talks about C+. Maybe someone changed a “+” to a ”#” not knowing that C+ and C# are different languages.



build a social life that doesn't revolve around alcohol
Popular, but not 8 months ago

This is my most cheered goal with over twice as many cheers as any other of my goals. Yet I’m one of only 2 people doing this.

Although I have this as a goal, I still haven’t decided how I’m going to do it. It seems everything I’m involved in involves having a drink as part of the social side. I have no intention of being tee-total for more than a month at a time again. I was tee-total for 10 years throughout my twenties and I never drink in January. I enjoy the social life that I do have that revolves around alcohol, but I just have a strong intuitive sense that there’s something wrong if all aspects of my social life revolve around drinking something that, let’s face it, makes us temporarily dumb.

Suggestions, anyone?
