I'm doing 16 things
I am progressing VERY SLOWLY with this goal! But thanks to Netflix at least I’m getting thru it! The DVDs come & go effortlessly!
(No, this is NOT intended to be a plug for Netflix!)

How I did it
It made me
Blissful 
How I did it: I actually went with a youth group to do volunteer work at the LA Dream Center. GREAT experience!Go to do some shopping in the fashion district (don't buy iPods there). Went to Beverly Hills / Rodeo Drive on July 4th but most of the stores were closed b/c of the holiday. Great view of fireworks displays from the Santa Monica beach! Read how I did it…

I never imagined how difficult this would be to do. I love the show and was very excited about getting started on this goal, but for some reason it has been kinda hard. What’s up with that?
Last week I rented the 3 disks from the 1st season and, after having them for 4 days, I’ve only managed to watch one disk. My life is NOT that busy!
SO, I don’t know what exactly I’m doing wrong but I’m not giving up on it yet.
I feel like this is very uncharted territory. For me anyway. I fight with having serious trust issues. I like people well enough, but that is about all I want to do with or as close as I want to be to them.
I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about my walls, how to tear them down and how to ‘be more transparent’. I’m at an almost total loss except for one thing. The only thing that has come to me thus far is eliminating sarcasm.
I like sarcasm. There are certain elements of humour that can only be fully and accurately expressed in sarcasm. I have a bizarre sense of humour and sometimes things I would never seriously say nor genuinely mean just pop into my head and I simply HAVE to take advantage of the comedic moment. But then I feel guilty; fearing that people who don’t know me well enough (which is MOST people) to know that I don’t mean the comment at all are creating an image of me being some snide, superficial, judgmental, rude…whatever. And I’m not like that at all.
I think, at least for me personally, I use sarcasm as a weapon frequently. A self-defense against others and their opinions. The ruder and harsher I can make you believe I am, the further I can hold you back from me. And therefore, the safer I am. Safer. Vailed. Hidden. Disguised.
