belated summer goals
better late than never i make one of these up for myself, like i did on my opendiary(note to self: put the link thingy to my opendiary when i remember the html code for such!) very early this year:
-reduce my level of procrastination to at least a somewhat lesser, and perhaps controllable degree(since i've conceded that i'll probably never overcome this completely, or won't for a very, very long time)
-update both my livejournal and opendiary more often (halfway at this goal, + need to get back on track w/my opendiary, as i feel somewhat bad for rarely ever updating that anymore..(though i like LJ more))
-start an xanga journal, since i've surprisingly discovered a great amount of friends i know on that site within the last few months(i think i may get a myspace too, haven't decided yet)
-get on better terms with certain people at work i thought i knew more than i really did, since i realized(sadly) last weekend i don't know some of them as closely as i thought.
-to get some sort of iPod, and a digital camera at some point(though i'll probably get a digital camera first)
-finish up a computer labeling project i started w/all the CD-R's i've burned over the years, as i hope to better remember(+ in some cases, learn) the names of songs i like(already, i'm proud of myself for how successfully my 1st batch of labels has came out).
-to become better at drawing, and maybe perhaps to take a drawing and/or painting class of some sort(i'm leaning towards eventually doing this).
-self-teach myself how to use Adobe Photoshop, as i've had a bootleg of this for sometime now that i've never quite sat down to learn how to use(since i'm sure its probably better than Microsoft Paint).
-re-establish certain friendships i never should've let fallen by the wayside and/or ones i unintentionally fucked up myself :(
-continue to work on becoming less shy and more outgoing(but i am PROUD that i've become so much better at being outgoing over recent years, than how i was during my high school years, but i think i can STILL improve on this)
-do something w/my hair, by either dying it or something experimental, most likely w/hair gel or whatever people use to create fades and stuff(haha, now you see how clueless i am w/knowing about how to do this sorta thing! but in all seriousness, i'd like to do something along the lines of this.)
-to get a Saturday 1-day ticket for Lollapalooza(still pretty sad that The Killers aren't playing on the 1st day of Lollapalooza, but ah well) (UPDATE: got my order through, just need to pick mine up now!)
-to go to the Chicago Gay Pride parade next year, since i missed the one this year, and've kept wanting to go to one for several years, damn myself for never succeeding in making it to one....
-to go to a drive-in theater by the end of this summer
and finally, just maybe, i'd like to go to Great America sometime this year, as i'm still a bit jealous that some of my friends at work went there recently + since i haven't been there in several years. a trip up to Gurnee Mills would be nice, too.
hopefully, i'll at the very least achieve some or most of these within several months from now, and slowly achieve all of them eventually, one at a time. wish me luck y'all...
