OK, so it’s now November 2006, and I didn’t quite meet the Christmas 2005 goal. But at least it is one of the few more definite goals of my 43 things. So I can honestly cross it off the list as “did not do”. Last year, though, I got some really cool cards from my artist friends, so I am inspired to try again this year (2006). And I have convinced myself that nobody cares if their address is on a mailing lable rather than being hand written. So that makes it easier.
This goal is coming off my list, to be replaced by the goal of “making my 43 things more specific and actually doable”. I think it’s the only way that this site will become more than just a land or procrastination for me!

Oh dear. I guess it’s a bad sign when 43 Folders relegates all your entries and comments to “1 year ago” even though you can tell by reading them that they are close to 2 years old… Perhaps it is kind of this website not to record the year in which you wrote a comment… Heh. And all those lovely goals… about the only one I succeeded in was cleaning my studio. And that has happened multiple times since! Hell, I’ve even moved studios since then. Needless to say things have changed direction, but at last I do feel like I am making progress on something, even if it isn’t those specific goals I set down in January 2005.
Wonder if I will ever really use this site in the productive way it was intended to be used? I am going through a personal rebellion against anything “interactive” at the moment, but perhaps if I can interact on my own terms… Time will tell…
