How I did it
How to see watchmen
It took me
2 months
It made me
Thrilled!

How I did it: I read about Watchmen in Empire magazine and thought it looked really interesting; my partner was also reading the graphic novel at the time, so we eagerly awaited the release and went to see it as soon as possible :)I thorougly enjoyed the film and when I've finished reading the graphic novel, I'm going back to see it again before it finishes in the cinemas! Read how I did it…

How to get 100 people to 'sign' my petition for emiliakaarina to bring the green hair back :)
It took me
10 months
It made me

How I did it: We were inspired by photos of Emilia's green hair and decided that we couldn't possibly let her dye it another colour (although still a fan of the blue as well!). I invited other people to join me and encourage her to bring back the green hair, until she finally relented after 62 people signed our petition. OK, so I can't do the maths, but the 62 people who signed had the power of 100, so we can just skip past that bit :P Read how I did it…

I’m moving this to my given up list, as I’m not in a good financial position to continue this in the short term. I plan on picking it up a little way into the New Year, when I can recover from Christmas and get some debt repayments behind me.

learn to let go (read all 6 entries…)
A lifetime to master... 1 day ago

I can imagine that this goal will still be on my list in years to come, but I feel that I have managed to do this on occasion. My sister and I had a fall-out last Christmas, which led to us not talking to each other for 10 months. We have since started talking again, and I realised that the anger that I felt so strongly last year had been dissipating and being replaced with a feeling of sadness that despite caring very much for each other, we had to let something that didn’t need to be there get in the way.

Anger wasn’t going to make her change, any more than it was going to make me change. Eventually, I didn’t care who was right and wrong; I just thought it was sad that we didn’t talk. I now feel that anger would be causing more damage than it’s worth, if we hadn’t made up our differences and moved on. I’m going to see my sister this Christmas, and I have a positive feeling that it’s not going to be a repeat of last year. So, I’m pleased I’ve done a little letting go this year.

There’s plenty more to do though! :)
