14. Buy a new XBOX 360
OMG~! XD Steven bought me a new 360 for Christmas! XD I almost cried I was so amazed! I also felt kinda bad cuz all I bought him was a pair of new Vans... Now I just gotta get the internet so I can get back on XBOX Live!
13. Buy a New CD Each Month
So, I got Andrew WK's album "I Get Wet"! Well, technically Steven bought it, but, since we share everything, it counts as mine! XP

The album is pretty insane. I had heard of Andrew WK before, but I had never actually listened to anything of his. So, Steven found a copy of it at Hastings for $7, and we pretty much have been listening to it constantly in his car. It's pretty much the best thing ever. The guy is totally nuts, and the music just makes you wanna scream all the lyrics at the top of your lungs.
34. Watch 26 movies I’ve never seen starting with each letter of the Alphabet
I finally watched the American sequel to The Ring.

It was a good sequel minus one thing: they made Samara too real.
She's a ghost. She doesn't grab people or scratch on walls. She just is. Simply by her existing, she is horrifying. A ghost is something that should not be, and, therefore, we fear it on a primal level. The boundaries of time and space do not effect her, and, because of this, she is able to move in ways we may not even comprehend. Above all else, not knowing is what terrifies us.
I also watched Evil Dead: II~! XD

This one I'm actually excited to talk about! XP Even though there was nothing even remotely scary in the movie [and there wasn't supposed to be], I still really enjoyed it. Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell are nuts! Watching the 'making of' featurette actually made me like the movie even more! Thanks Melissa and Steven for bullying me into watching this film!
39. Read 1 book per week
I finished "The Looks Book" today!

I LOVE gurl.com. It has been one of my all-time favorite websites since I was in high school. To this day, I think there is no better website for teen girls on the web. Every girl should be exposed to the website [teen or not]. From polls and fun quizzes to deep questions about your anatomy and beliefs, gurl.com has it all. It even has sections where you can post up your poetry or artwork [or comics!]. What makes the website really amazing, is that most of the content is supplied by the site's teen visitors!
"The Looks Book" does an amazing job of talking about both fashion and the female anatomy in a way that is friendly and easy to understand. It has sections on how fashion, and the 'ideal' body type, has changed over the years, hair, toes, and everything in between [it even shows what other countries think about the different parts of the body, and what they consider beautiful], and it also breaks down several different genres of style.
45. Sign-up for basic piano classes
Since the only instrument I've ever played has been the trombone, Steven bought me a CD to help me familiarize myself with the keyboard in general. This way I will have some basic knowledge before I start taking formal lessons.
49. Restart my website
I borrowed a book from the library to help teach myself HTML! XD
http://headfirstlabs.com/books/hfhtml/
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Head-First-HTML-with-CSS-XHTML/Eric-Freeman/e/9780596101978
This is seriously the best code book I have ever picked up. Period. I wish more technical books were like this one. It has been a breeze to learn HTML from this book, but what's really amazing is that I actually remember the stuff I read! I will definitely check out the rest of the books in this series!
