101 things in 1001 days?
just stumbled onto a community for people doing the '101 things in 1001 days', name kinda explains it all really. Had a look at the lists and, ignoring the ones written by 16 year old's who put things like 'pass a-levels' and 'get into university', they seem to be written by people who just don't do anything!
Things like, 'go to the cinema' or 'go to the theatre more than once' - to me that's a pretty common occurrence, I'm going to see Twelfth Night in London on Weds and that was pretty spur of the moment a few weeks ago when I bought the tickets. Going to the same theatre in a few months to see Judy Dench and Rosamund Pike in the Madame de Sade with Nicky (well, I haven't actually asked her to go yet but hopefully she'll want to go too!)
I guess I just get confused when people talk about those kind of things as a big thing to do. I grew up with the theatre, going out to see things with my parents and then friends at uni. Tickets are never that expensive so I've never quite understood why more people don't go.
mmmm, sounds slightly like moaning although I'm not sure what about!
meh, I guess I just wanted to make a list like that to do, to try and achieve things - but looking at other peoples lists for inspiration just didn't help.
Anyway - took the Christmas decorations down today. Felt sad, but in a different way from when I was younger. I used to get sad because the house didn't feel as happy or look as pretty. It also meant that the holiday was nearly over and I'd have to go back to school. Now it's different. I love this time of year and I think I'm sad because I don't know when I'll next spend this much time with family and people that I care about and because it's almost like real life has to start again. Things that I could ignore and put to the back of mind over the past few weeks and now even scarier than they were before. I just don't like endings I guess!
Have sent booking forms off for three LARP events in the past few days though =D one bank/armourers, one COG and the Taratula/Incantor event. Now I just need to hope that the Jackal sanctioned doesn't clash on one of those weekends! It's kinda annoying though, the winter event was publisied for months before the Gathering and the event was in November. The spring event for the Jackals doesn't even have a provisional date and most of the other factions at least have that sorted. Doesn't help that the LT have changed how they do the Moots, think the Unicorns might have to try and change their sanctioned event as it falls on the same weekend as the Spring Moot!
Anyway, should get back to work - the joy of being a final year student who wants to pass their degree! Actual work must occur!!
