I had given up on this, but now that I own my first car, it’s probably a good idea to actually know the basics.
I at least know how to change a tire…

How I did it
It made me
get more done... 
How I did it: Before I go into this, please note this is not a way to stop procrastinating. But it is ideal for us chronic procrastinators who literally cannot stop procrastinating, no matter how many times we tell ourselves we won't. It's called "constructive procrastination."Draw up a list of every obligation you have to get done, whether it needs to be done in the next hour, or the next month. Put them in order from most urgent to … Read how I did it…
It made me
happy!
How I did it: I only went alone because my friend bailed on me. But I really wanted to see the movie, so I didn't see any reason why I couldn't still go!People think going to the movies alone is like, a loser-ish thing to do. Well, stop worrying about what people think of you and go see a great movie. Nobody there is going to care whether or not you are with someone. Anyone whose opinion is worth anything is there to be entertai… Read how I did it…
It made me
feel independent
How I did it: Seriously, just have someone teach you how. I had my mom teach me. That way, every time you have a question (you WILL have them), you have someone to ask.

I tried NaNoWriMo, and got to 16,000 words. Which is way more than I’ve ever written in my life! So I have at least started a story.
But I’m thinking about just trying to write short stories at first. And then maybe I can take my favorite story and try to expand on it and make it something longer. I just love to write, but I want to write something substantial now instead of just random tidbits that never go anywhere.

My friend is a bad influence. She got me hooked on Psych, which I know believe to be the funniest show on television. It’s the only show that makes me laugh out loud. A lot. So I started watching it, all the time.
I’m also a bad influence on my friend. I started getting back into NCIS, which plays for at least 3 hours on USA every day. So now she’s into it, too.
And so all I do now is watch NCIS and Psych. My two favorite shows. I can’t give them up. But I still think I should try to cut back…
