How I did it
How to donate to the Atheist Bus Campaign
It took me
1 day
It made me

How I did it: I spotted an article about the Atheist Bus on the Guardian website, hopped on over to their JustGiving page and donated. The Atheist Bus Campaign is a response to the aggressively marketed Alpha Course, a hardcore "introduction to Christianity" course which has been advertising on buses and bus shelters in the UK for a couple of years now, without really expressly spelling out in their ads what it's all about. The British Humanist Associa… Read how I did it…

How to make an enormous, beautiful and delicious chocolate and beetroot cake with cream cheese frosting and walnuts for my friends, then drop it down the stairs so it breaks into several pieces and gets covered in cat fluff and I have to throw it away.
It took me
2 days
It made me
feel like a dolt.

How I did it: How did I do it? I spent ages lovingly baking a really yummy cake, and just as I was about to put it in the bag to take to my friends' house, the tin pinged out of my hands and the cake went flying down the stairs, covering the carpet in frosting and cake pieces and rendering it inedible and cat hairy (although I still ate a bit just to torture myself with how good it would have been), that's how I did it. Jesus. I think I may well be the… Read how I did it…

How to stop smoking
It took me
1 day
It made me
Free as a biiiiiird!

How I did it: I read a book called Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking, which changed the way I felt about smoking. It  removed the social brainwashing that encourages smoking and makes smokers feel that it's difficult to stop. Once I'd read it I felt like a huge burden had been lifted from me, like I'd been cured of a horrible, fatal, antisocial disease. I stopped immediately, enjoyed a minimal withdrawal process - yes, enjoyed, because it mean… Read how I did it…

MEGA OVERSLEEP! Must have needed it – I’m sleeping so badly at the moment. Curse this damned infernal heat. I really want to run, too but it’s a) too hot and b) I’ve done something incredibly painful to the back of my left thigh which twinges agonizingly in certain positions, so I daren’t even do Pilates. Poo.

Well, I’ve got two choices here, I can either do an urgent job application (due noon tomorrow) for a job I don’t particularly want, or I can run a few errands and go to the park for a couple of hours before it’s time to go to the counsellors. I suppose I could always hammer out the app tonight if the mood takes me.

Project Self Esteem: List 43 things that I like about myself. (read all 5 entries…)
Goal title changed... 3 days ago

..having discussed it at great length with everyone on another entry. They were right, “100 things that are indisputably ace about me” sets the bar too high both in terms of number and of, er, aceness. Not that I’m not capable of having 100 indisputably ace things about me, but turtle steps, right?
