Okay, I'm pretty sure I haven't updated my 101 in 1001 list since I started it, so it's time to tackle the beast!
If my calculations are correct, it has now been 310 days since I began. I've got just under two years to go!
Key:
Goals that are crossed out are completed (ideally, with a note about when or how I did so).
Goals that are in italics are in progress (hopefully with a note about the progress I've made).
Goals that are bolded are the ones I'm earmarking now as easy ones to complete in the near future. I'm hoping that by marking a few of those now I can narrow my focus and have a better chance of getting them done!
1. Draw 50 faces. - 2/50. This progress sucks, so I'm bolding it and I'll try to work harder at it, because it shouldn't be that hard.
2. Record a song. - I recorded myself singing "It's Only Love" on 4/25/07 and even posted it to my LJ for my f-list to hear.
3. Make a net art piece that isn't for a class.
4. Go for a walk after a rain.
5. Kiss somebody. - bolding this because a girl can dream.
6. Write somebody a letter. - I've written a few postcards which I believe would technically count according to the rules I set myself upon beginning this, but I think I'd like to write a real letter too so I will do that soon.
7. Listen to all the songs in my iTunes that I haven't listened to yet. - getting there! I've listened to a ton but there are still 93 that I haven't listened to all the way, and I have a lot more stuff to add to my iTunes as well.
8. Play the violin. - got out the violin a long time ago - like probably back in April of 07 or so - and played some random stuff. Also I think Andrew and I are going to try to duet with him on acoustic and me on violin if we can come up with something to play.
9. Take 50 pictures that aren't to show somebody something. - I've now taken way more than 50, going to Bonnaroo last summer helped with that!
10. Stay offline for a day. - I don't remember when, but I did it for sure.
11. Learn to count to 10 in Japanese. - I know somewhere somebody told me the words but I've forgotten them all by now, so I must start trying to memorize them.
12. Sell something I've made.
13. Achieve a score of -18 for 18 holes in Albatross18. - I really don't play A18 anymore, so I want to do this one soon before I get any more out of practice and uninterested.
14. Find a good band that I haven't listened to before and listen to all of their songs. - Bonnaroo helped with this one too. I've discovered a lot of new bands, but I'm not entirely sure if there's any that I've listened to every song by, so I want to go make sure I've done that.
15. Give somebody a random present. - I can't believe I haven't crossed this one off yet. I suspect I probably have and just haven't remembered it, but I'll have to do it again just so I'm sure.
16. Make a mix CD for someone. - I actually gave Andrew three CDs a couple months ago.
17. Get my license. - got it on 8/20/07! Yay!
18. Go a week without soda.
19. Swing on a swingset. - I went to the playground at my old elementary school and sat and swang (swung?) for a little while.
20. Create a Photoshop action.
21. Draw a stick figure comic strip of someone and give it to them. - somebody is going to be the recipient of extreme dorkiness very soon.
22. Make a pair of newspaper shoes.
23. Go jogging. - actually accomplished this on the same day as #19 by jogging to my elementary school.
24. Do 100 sit-ups in a day. - I did this very early on in my 1001 days, easy one!
25. Wear crazy eyeshadow.
26. Submit a list to McSweeneys.
27. Read Atlas Shrugged. - "progress" is very loosely used here...I tried to start it and never got very far. It's still sitting on my nightstand waiting for me, though.
28. Do at least 10 things from learningtoloveyoumore.com.
29. Wear lipstick. - I wore bright red lipstick to a hockey game where everybody is supposed to wear as much red as possible earlier this month.
30. Make candy. - I made candy for a party we had the day before that same game.
31. Dye all my hair red - temporarily. - I dyed my whole head red when I want to Tampa in December/January. It wasn't very noticeable, but it looked pretty awesome when the sun hit it!
32. Watch The Wizard of Oz and listen to The Dark Side of the Moon.
33. Read The Wizard of Oz.
34. Answer every question in thequestionclub in a given day. - I never read TQC anymore, so I want to do this one soon before I lose interest even more.
35. Draw a good self portrait.
36. Blow bubbles. - I blew a LOT of bubbles over the summer!
37. Play a board game against myself.
38. Make a little magazine and give it to somebody.
39. Write an LJ entry entirely in haiku.
40. Write a guitar part to go with a song I've written.
41. Light a match. - I finally did it, and I didn't burn myself!

44. Wear a dress when the setting doesn't require it.
45. Take photobooth photos.

47. Use facial cleanser every day for a week.
48. Try a new fruit.
49. Win a bet.
50. Screen print something.
51. Buy a bra that isn't white or beige. - I bought a pink strapless bra a while back.
52. Read tarot cards for myself every day for a week.
53. Make someone a necklace or some sort of jewelry in meaningful colors.
54. Cross-stitch something.
55. Hit the random button on Wikipedia and actually read the article - 10 times. - I think I already did some of this and forgot to write it down anywhere, so I'll have to start over to be safe.
56. Talk to somebody about one of those articles.
57. Learn to walk on my hands for at least 5 steps. - I was practicing a lot over the summer and got to the point where I can hit 5 steps occasionally but not consistently, so I'm not too far off.
58. Leave a note or message of some sort in a public place.
59. Make a rice bag.
60. Increase the number of movies I've seen from IMDB's top 250 to 50. - I think I've now seen 30, which is only 2 more than when I started this. This one is tricky since the list is always changing!

65. Participate in 26 Things.
66. Make an "in a box" gift for somebody.
67. Listen to 3 new songs from each of 10 artists in my iTunes. 2/10
68. Make a mask.

70. Order something new at 3 restaurants I go to frequently. - I no longer remember what I ordered, but it was all yummy!
71. Drink 8 glasses of water in a day...at least once!
72. Play tennis.
73. Lie in a hammock with a book and a glass of lemonade. - did it, but it wasn't as good an idea as it sounded. Not easy to balance a glass on lumpy grass, and especially not easy to reach it from a hammock!
74. Register to vote.
75. Vote.
76. Go roller blading.
77. Make a scavenger hunt for myself...and complete it.

85. Floss once a week for a month. - this is NOT that hard and I should REALLY do it.
