1. Ian – my fiance. He makes me so happy.
2. Sushi-chan – my cat. She’s so hilarious.
3. Rehearsal (Theatre) – I often drag my feet about having to go to rehearsal, but more often than not I have a good time.
4. Living somewhere with nice weather – I have to admit. It’s nice to bike around in tank tops in January.
5. Tiger balm – mmmmm so nice on my sore muscles.
6. Hot baths – So relaxing. Too bad I don’t have a bath tub.
7. Dinners at home. – It’s fun to cook with Ian and it’s fun to eat out on our lanai. It’s even more fun when we have others to share our meal with.
8. Beginnings (the excitement and anticipation) This is specifically about the beginning of Spring semester. Really though I always get excited about new beginnings.
9. Thoughtful people – I should try to be more thoughtful because when I’m on the receiving end of thoughtful behavior, it makes me so happy.
10. Koto music – It’s just lovely
11. the Japanese garden on campus – There’s a nice Japanese garden on campus that I don’t often think about but I love being there.
12. clowning/clowns – Some people are scared of clowns. I’m not. I love to clown and I love seeing other people discover their own clowns.
13. french fries – So delicious. No nutritional value? That’s true but I love them.
14 Date Night – :D Even netflix and pizza for date night is awesome.
15. Reading in the sun – Even when it’s for school.
16. Singing – Just for funzies. I’m not good but I enjoy it when I’m alone.
17. Stretching – It feels so good but I’m often lazy about it.
18. Reading aloud – MAybe because I loved my parents to read aloud to me when I was a kid.
19. Bike rides – I use my bike as my main form of transportation so I often forget to just enjoy the ride.
20. kombucha – Delicious. It makes me feel good physically too.
21. Bunraku – My favorite Japanese theatre form. I love watching it.
22. Chia seed drinks – so gelatinous and refreshing.
23. Teaching – I can’t wait to be a teacher.
24. Chinese New Year candies – Only for Chinese New Year though. Seasonal candies are the best.
25. Augusto Boal’s work – It inspires me so much.
26. Buyo – Japanese dance. Love doing it.
27. Japan – Just thinking about Japan and my time there. I would love to go back.
28. Hot tubs – So relaxing. Should seek them out more.
29. Indonesia – I’ve never been but I’m so immersed in it right now and I love it. The people, the theatre, the food.
30. Costumes – Okay my costumes for this show I’m doing now are hot and bulky, but there’s something so fun about putting a costume on.
31. Hot tea – My favorite drink.

How I did it: I did have two books and the power prep software. I made it mostly through one book (the kaplan study guide), but I mostly didn't study. I did the two practice tests that were park of the power prep software the two days before my test.If I had it to do over again I would (1) take one practice test, (2) review all that basic math I forgot in the past 7 years, (3) memorize the most common GRE vocab words, and (4) take the second practice t… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I had long been told that Buffy was a series I'd like. I generally stray away from "popular" things because I have this obsession with being unique (it's childish and stupid but I try to fight it).Anyway, I broke my knee in late November 2008 and was basically bed-ridden until January 2009. I was in too much pain/doped up/uncomfortable to read or knit (my usual hobbies) so I decided to watch lots of tv/movies on my laptop. It was the perf… Read how I did it…
How I did it: A lot of organizing my apartment took planning - what goes where and what have you.Another battle is with my super unorganized boyfriend. He loves to have piles of stuff (which I guess is a valid organizing system) but never knows where anything is...and they're a bit of an eyesore. We got him a free filing cabinet from craigslist and are in the process of organizing him piles into folders and putting them in there.The rest of the apartme… Read how I did it…

No road trips in the next year.
(Living in Hawai’i without a car.)
But I love this idea. So spontaneous but I worry that the longer I wait the harder it will be to do.
