figure out how this site works

hello…how does this website work? as in what are we supposed to do?? and wtf are cheers??? help me my fellow blogsmen and blogswomen!

Hmm so I can create a goal, and share it with everyone, and all my entries are visible to everyone who share the same goal? I dont see the point but I’ll give it time to grow on me.

is there a way to tell who has a subscription thingy to me? that’d be neat to know.

when you look at what someone else has done… theres little check marks and little circly checks. i cant seem to figure out what the circly one means. maybe willing to help or something?

can i tell who’s subscribed to me? it says how many people… but not who!

If I accidentally cheer something that’s absolutely terrible and I didnt want to, is there a way i can delete that?

I have no idea how to get rid of things I accidentaly added to my list that I don’t really want to do.

I was just wondering what on my 43 Things list I could check off next. I’ve actually done a few of them lately, but not really to my satisfaction, so I’m not sure if I want to check them off or not. Something else I need to figure out about this site, when exactly to check things off as done? When they are done, or when I’m happy with how they are done? Course I guess it’s relative. And the next question is, do I want to post the little stuff about them here, since that is why I’m even writing this entry, sort of, or should I go ahead and put them under those goals themselves? Decisions, decisions. I think I’ll go ahead and put them here, just so this is a fuller entry.

Mosey with an entourage – I did this on Wednesday, twice, sorta. We were at the hospital waiting for Cali (not the one I’m trying to find, otherwise that one would be done to, hehe. Mel suggested that I check it off anyway, but I’m not going to.) to be born. I was downstairs with JD and Renee and we were walking to the gift shop, or back from, and I was like oh oh, stay walking like that, and all skipped ahead, like they were my entourage. But I didn’t do a walk thing or anything. And then later I was with JD, dad, and Lin, and I think JD said something about walking a certain way. Which I knew it wasn’t what he meant but I took it as an invite to strut I guess would be the word even though it didn’t quite fit. But eh, they weren’t really the sort of entourage I had in mind, so I don’t think I’ll check it off yet.

Blast classical music from my car stereo – I’ve actually done this one twice now, kind of too. The first time it was too cold to have my windows down at all. So that doesn’t really count. And the second time I was heading to and on the freeway, so there wasn’t anyone around to hear it really, so that doesn’t count either. I need to find better songs too. The best two I have found so far are “Hall of the Mountain King” and “Danse macabre.” Anyone have any suggestions?

Looks like third time might be the charm is the theme. In other news my fish had a baby. Not quite the thriving I was looking for. Mister was doing really well, but has now peed in the house three days in a row. I’m thinking just for spite. I thought of another t-shirt slogan, but it’s sort of wrong. Considered putting it up since I’m not sure if I’d actually go for that one or not, and if it got stolen then it’d be out there. But it was still my idea so I don’t want to do it. I’m clever quite often, even if I do say so myself, but it hasn’t really worked anything out for me yet. I think that sums it up for now. But anyway, and sort of ironically, I want to check this goal off my list. I mean cause those things I listed above I answered within this entry, more or less, and I’ve pretty much figured out how to do all I want to do with this site. So one more goal down. Lots to go.

Curse you. Over the past day or so I’ve taken to bookmarking people that I want to cheer, when I run out of cheers. This is not helping my current goal #31 of getting organized online.

I’m nervous now too. I’ve got 35 whole things on my list. I mean I know the site is called 43 Things, but what happens if I get 43 and then there’s a 44th? I might actually have to do something on my list. I’m working on them really. Most of them anyway. What’s a girl to do?

I’ve got two of them! Two whole people are actually interested in what I have to say. Why is this though, that you can’t find out who they are? I mean it makes me curious something terrible. Guess I’ll just have to live with it though. Unless they are so inclined to divulge their identities, or someone can tell me how I can figure out who they are.

And I was also surprised to find that you can’t add entries to things that you’ve already marked off as done. I mean what if you want to add an update? Maybe there is a way to do this, but I haven’t figured out how, unless I would just want to edit my original “I’ve done this” entry, and make it longer. But I don’t want to do that. It’s probably a good thing though, cause my update was sounding kinda boring, got to keep those subscribers interested after all.
