After a few of my friends mentioned/started, I thought I could use a little change too.
Some of them seem childish and... well, they are. I'm a childish person. Deal with it.
I started today, May 20th 2007, and I will be finished Valentine's Day, 2010. I think it will be fun.

I'm also working on the Medieval Faire thing. So far jobs suck. But you know that because I was already talking to you once today.
Also, big fan of the list. I like lists in general, which is why when I get home from hell tonight, I'll probably re-read your list and Lacey's list (because after a trip to hell and back, with the promise of return the next day, I'll need a little inspiration and confirmation that not all things revolve around the formerly known Telespectrum)... then make my own list.
<3 Laurentian Apt misses you.
Ps, we need a name for our apartment

Date: 2007-06-07 02:40 am (UTC)mainly because I appear on it. twice. which makes it twice as awesome than it would be if I appeared only once.
my sister's doing this, too.
personally, I don't set goals for myself, because this way if I die tomorro, I won't mope about all those things I didn't do, but be happy for what I have done.
....that's too deep for me. baaaah.
