I’ve never had to be tough before. I’ve never had to do anything truly difficult. I’ve never had to dig to my deepest depths and find the guts it takes to climb out of my own grave. I want to ask, “Can I do it?” but I know the universe will simply reply, “Can you do it?” The universe is cute like that.

How I did it: Surprisingly I spent quite a while trying to find this out before adding it to my goal list which, considering how easy it is, I can't believe I couldn't figure it out. I was trying to post them through photobucket, as you do on a forum, but it didn't turn out right. All you have to do is, when adding an entry, press the upload picture button, and browse to find the photo you wish to post. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I had passed the library many times on my way somewhere or other, but never when it was open. I made the most of my resources, google, and researched the hours to set aside a time to go. When I got there I was impressed with the size and atmosphere, and I had the feeling I would be spending much time there. I went to the main desk and five minutes later, I was entering the land o' books never to be seen or heard from again. I returned fro… Read how I did it…
I fell in love with Wicked when the soundtrack first came out, and have wanted to see it ever since. Wicked has been touring for some time now, and, unfortunately, as soon as I heard that it was coming to my town in the next year, it was announced that we were moving. Sure enough, there was a set of performances near where we were moving to, and as soon as the tickets became available, we bought tickets for a performance that was last week. I took a two hour car trip to Des Moines and saw the show I’d been waiting to see for upwards of two years. It was definitely worth it.
While driving me home from school, my dad told me to keep a lookout for the mailman, because if we saw him, my father could forego his trip to the post office in favor of giving the packages he had to ship to the mailman. We saw the mailman pull into a parking lot near the end of our street, and we pulled in after him. By the time we had caught up to him, he was already out of the car and going into the restaurant in the parking lot. My father and I waited, while discussing the likelihood of him returning to his car anytime soon, seeing as he was on duty. Soon enough, he came out of the bar and we handed him the packages as he explained that he had gone in to use the restroom. Anyway, there’s one thing off my list.
