How I did it

How to buy a car

It took me

1 year

It made me

happy

How I did it: I hate these new questions you have to fill out. I miss the old 43things.com.For the love of God, I don't want to write how I did this. This list was supposed to be for me and for fun, this 150 minimum is like bloody WORK. Read how I did it…

grow my hair down to my waist

So long ... 17 months ago

My hair was really close to waist length back in February, but the ends were so awful they were breaking, so I got 2” clipped off. Well, at least I asked for 2”. My hair is curly/wavy at the ends, and when wet, cutting 2” was fine. But when it dried, I lost probably 4-6” of length. I was so mad.

It’s July now and it seemed like my hair was stuck at the same point since February, but I can see some growth FINALLY. It’s probably mid-back right now. I was told another few inches (3?) and it will be at waist length. I’m hoping my Christmas it’ll be that long. I don’t know what my goal will be after that. This is the longest I’ve ever had my hair in my life, so I may try for tailbone just to say I had my hair that long.

Personally, with my face shape, I think my hair looks best between shoulder to arm pit length. So I don’t know what I’ll do with it in the future.

be in the newspaper

Done! 17 months ago

Back in April I released my 4th self-published book. A few weeks later I was contacted by a reporter in the city I’d set the book in. We conducted a phone interview, he asked for headshots, and a week later the article ran online and in the paper. I didn’t get a hard copy of the article (it ran in the Brookline TAB), but I did get to see it online which was cool.

Donate blood 10 times

Done! 20 months ago

I made my 10th donation on March 12th. I got a keychain and a pin. I was sitting at a table with people who have made their 25th, 50th and 99th donations, it was pretty cool.

They also brought back the peach juice – score!
