Whoo!

Yay! New update! XD


1. Buy something from Etsy
5. Buy that awesome dress I always see in the bridal store

I finished these two goals in one fell swoop! XD
While I didn't exactly buy the dress I saw in the window at the bridal store,I found an even cooler one on Etsy! XD This is the shop that I bought it from.

60. Plant a sunflower

I bought a sunflower and planter at Hastings this weekend! I just hope it doesn't die...


62. Write a journal entry at least every 10 days

Whoo! Finally bought a new journal! XD Took me long enough! I just got a generic one form Wal-mart, but I stuck a ton of stuff on the covers and on the inside. So, it at least looks like it should belong to me now.


65. Keep "Hello, Cruel World" in circulation amongst my friends

I put this one as something I've completed, but I just now have given it to my first friend. Hopefully it will keep being passed around though!



Well, that's all for now! XD

Wednesday, February 3, 2010

Okay, so I kinda fell off the bandwagon as far as posting on here goes....

While I've been dead,


  • my laptop mysteriously wouldn't turn on [which took the guy at Computer Frog's like 5 minutes to figure out the problem... -_-;;;]
  • I was attacked by an ice/snow storm and was stuck at Steven's parents house for 4 days [without the internet!!!! T_T]
  • I bought DJ Hero! [Best game ever!!! XD]
  • Used DJ Hero to ward off insanity while I was without the internet
  • Became painfully addicted to the game app "Bite Me" on Facebook [I'm a generic goth kid...what can I say! XP]


Now, on to my achievements!


7. Subscribe to a magazine

I went to Gamestop and signed up for their rewards program and I got a subscription to Game Informer! XD It's pretty much my favorite gaming mag, but no stores around here sell it...



13. Buy 1 new CD each month

I got the Arctic Monkey's CD "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not"! I first heard their single "I bet that you look good on the dance floor" a few years ago, but I never thought to buy their album. Then, I downloaded the CD on the school-related music program Ruckus. I really liked it, but soon forgot about the CD in the hubbub of daily life. When I was at Hastings this last weekend, I was randomly reminded of it, and snatched it up.

15. Buy a GameCube

Well, I didn't so much 'buy' a GameCube as I just took the old one from my parents home. XP Now, I just gotta find my memory cards...


34. Watch 26 movies I’ve never seen starting with each letter of the Alphabet

First up is "Penelope"! Ah! I love that movie! XD Everyone should watch it! It's amazing and cute and funny and wonderful! XD It's Cristina Ricci with a pig nose! XD

39. Read 1 book per week

I finally finished my HTML + XHTML & CSS book! XD Now, I've almost got my website back up and running! XD


I also finished the book adaptation of "The Labyrinth"! XD Awesome book! Go read it!



50. Decorate journals to give to friends

So far, I've decorated a journal for my friend Zach and Steven's sister Nikki.

Zach's journal was ninja themed, and Nikki's was goth-y girl themed!


52. Leave a cool drawing/photograph in 101 separate library books

Okay, I'll confess....I totally forgot to keep track of all of these...So, I'm just going to have to guesstimate...


71. Eat 101 completely vegan meals

Mwahaha! I finally decided to pack my own lunch to school everyday! And guess what? They're completely vegan! XD


77. Find a job

I started back at the Campus Bookstore, and they said they would keep me on to clean-up and help out from time to time! XD



82. Read 10 books I wouldn't normally read

Well, I finally started on my 1st book I wouldn't normally read... It's called "Icy Sparks" and is about a girl in Tennessee with spasms...yeah, right now it's not too exciting, but I'm hoping it will pick up!


87. Donate all my unwanted books to friends or to the local book store

I did this today actually! XP


88. Buy hooks to hang-up art on the walls

Did this just last week! XD


90. Donate old Converse and buy new ones

Whoo! I finally retired my old pin-stripped Converse for some new plaid ones! XD They're so comfy! XP


92. Get a Christmas tree and decorate it

It was a very tiny Christmas tree, but it still counts! XP


96. Keep an up-to-date planner through next semester

This is going pretty well actually! It really helps!

I'm having a bit more trouble with this, but I'll work harder!
