I'm doing 30 things
I need to learn this.
6 months ago
I need to learn to drive a stick so I can drive my boyfriend’s car in an emergency situation, or if I’m the only sober person left.
He says he’ll teach me, so we just have to get around to it.

How I did it
It made me
productive 
How I did it: I bought some yarn and needles, sat on the couch with my laptop and watched How-To Knit videos on youtube, then followed their directions and knitted a scarf! I learned to knit in one day, but believe me, it took alot longer to finish the scarf. I also had to rewind the videos alot and play them back repeatedly to see exactly what they were doing. :X Read how I did it…
It made me
entertained
How I did it: I downloaded Inform 7 and a manual written by musicwords.net. Before writing, I drew out a map of what I wanted my game to look like (my boyfriend's house), the items I wanted in it, the puzzles I wanted to be solved, etc. Then I used the Inform code to turn my story into a game. My boyfriend played it after I finished, and was very pleased with it :) Read how I did it…
It made me
kind of excited
How I did it: My grandmother paid for my sisters and I to swim with the dolphins somewhere near Palm Coast, Florida. They felt really leathery and wet, and they painted pictures for us on canvasses. Dolphins are really intelligent, actually. And cute :3 Read how I did it…

thinking about giving up

I really wanted to get the mini-cactus from ThinkGeek.com, but they’ve replaced the cute one I fell in love with with some trendy cactus that looks like it’s drowning in colored-blue water.
I don’t know if I even want a cactus anymore.
sent my poems in to Poetry magazine
6 months ago
I sent four of my favourite poems in to Poetry magazine, and I’m waiting for a response. I keep checking the status with the account I created at their website, but it still hasn’t been reviewed yet, and it’s been 11 days already. I don’t feel very optimistic about the success of these poems at such a prestigious publication, but if they reject me, I’ll just have to try again and submit somewhere else.
