Learn how to make video art
Starting today! 4 weeks ago

I got myself a video editing program, got my camera, got many drawings. It’s a beautiful sunny sunday too, so that should be enough to motivate me. I have been having some ideas for a simple video I’d like to do to go with the latest song I recorded. A sort of collage of animated drawings. So my goal today is to get started on this. Let’s see how it goes…

Practice guitar and singing everyday
Finally 4 weeks ago

I picked up my acoustic guitar this morning. Reluctantly at first, but next thing I knew I’d been playing and singing for a couple of hours. I can never find the motivation to play and make excuses that I’m too tired… but the truth is each time I actually get down to playing guitar and singing I really enjoy it and nothing can stop me other than if my fingers hurt too much. It makes me feel good. I should really learn from this, but I never do. Oh well. :)

Struck up conversations with people more (read all 2 entries…)
not quite there, but close 1 month ago

OK so I didn’t manage to strike up conversations with anyone, but I managed to keep conversations going (while feeling more comfortable than usual) when people spoke to me in the last few days. Yesterday I was really talkative, even. Even with my boss. I even spoke to this girl I never talk to (and feel pretty uncomfortable with – for no reason) and while I usually cut the conversation short and run away (pretty much) whenever she (or anyone else) approaches me, I forced myself to keep going.

I also concentrated on forcing myself to ask questions without thinking too much first… and think I managed it a few times. :)

Funny… this makes me sound crazy. This stuff seems to come so naturally to most people, yet to me social interactions are a complete mystery and require so much effort.
