Mission 101
this is nabbed off abrokenstarr, and there's a community here mission101
the basic idea is make a list of 101 things and complete it (or as much as possible) in 1001 days. My end date is July 15 2013.
some things are easy, some things are things i know will happen anyway, but a lot of things i've put on to make me do them.
it seems weird, for example, to put on 'write 5 poems', but i haven't written anything in sooooo long. i need something to kick start me again, and i hope this list will help.
:)
