My Pseudo-Bucket List
Haha, I adapted flat_foot's style for listing out my 101 list because it's easier to refer back to and doesn't make my eyes bleed.
Slashed out items are things that I have completed.
Bolded items are ongoing things.
I know I've not bolded most of the stuff that are supposed to be ongoing yet but what the heck, I want to upload this list first while I have the drive to do so. I'll probably reorganise it again later today or tomorrow, we'll see.
