I'm doing 43 things
I didn’t expect to do this, but I was so drunk after the show it sorta happened. I suspect after later research this happens quite often. I wouldn’t be surprised if after every show every drunk girl essentially earns a “free pass”.

How I did it
It made me
Happier 
How I did it: One day I decided I wanted to grow my nails so I could have lovely, pretty, decorated nails just like my mum. I was massively inspired by decora and nail art. I literally just decided to stop biting them and in a few weeks I'd stopped for good.It was all about will power for me! I'd tried Stop 'n' Grow and it really didn't help. It was all about picturing the nails I wanted. Read how I did it…
It made me
Focused
How I did it: It's still very early and operations are small right now, but it's happened! The thing I've planned to do for many years is finally coming together. Today it's a simple online shop, in a few years...who knows? Read how I did it…
It made me
feel worthwhile
How I did it: I worked hard enough to get to the end :P Haha. But not putting a downer on my effort, I did put a lot into getting this qualification and I had a lot of fun doing it. I made some great new friends and build tighter bonds with a few others. Read how I did it…

I was SERIOUSLY drunk that night. Right after the show I stuck around and make out with Steve. A few minutes later I made out with Jimmy too. I blame whiskey, but deep down I was very happy. It was totally spur of the moment and not at all predetermined, it was all down to being so ridiculously intoxicated. It don’t suspect it’s the sort of thing you go to a show expecting to do, but hey, if it’s your goal I guarantee it’s 100% easy!!
I started running last winter and got really into it. It was almost like revisiting my youth, back when I competitively ran long distance for my borough.
Now I live in a beautiful coastal area and want to make the most of the fact that a) There are gorgeous places to run past and b) I need to get healthy so I get sick less often.
I think I’ll start by running once a week and see where it goes from there. The trick is keeping it up when I come home for holidays, which is when I tend to get comfortable and lazy. I really really need to do this though; I’m too young for my health to be in the crisis it’s in right now :/
