some failures to own up to..

Finished my October book and my November book was:

A good book and a great movie.

I originally made a plan for

this book to be my december/january book since it has a lot of information and requires coloring, but I haven't actually started it yet since December's been such a busy month.

My first failure is:
I failed to go to the HKC to work out at least once a week. I never made time. I hardly had any time for anything this past semester.. and I ended up with two A's and two B's and I worked my butt off for them and made a 3.63 gpa this semester.

My second failure is:
my 365 project (picture of myself everyday for a year).
I just kept forgetting to take my camera with me and I ended taking pictures of myself that all looked the same and got frustrated and just totally dropped the ball on it.

I hope that I don't have to mess up anything else on the list, but I've been trying to keep up with everything else.
I need to spend the break re-evaluating my goals and working on the ones that I know I can get out of the way rather quickly.

september book finished, october book almost finished.

this one made me sad and hungry for some adventure in my life. without death, of course.



I'm a little more than halfway through this book and I love it like I knew I would, I love all of Mitch Albom's books.

Forgive the lack of updating but I'm having such a busy semester, I'm not finding it easy to do anything, really.
I'm also making myself sick with stress and fighting with my girlfriend so everything is a big ball of horse shit at the moment.
:(

#6

finished my July book about a week ago, and I've been patiently waiting to read my August book, HAUNTED.


:)

#59;

it's safe to say this one is pretty much done, though it's more progressive.
I eat vegetables with almost every meal now, with few exceptions. and I happen to think broccoli is the best thing ever now that I've gone through the process of vegetarianism.
:) my july book is coming along and I've been using my lomo camera as often as I can.
summer school ends tomorrow and I plan on working on my list when I get home and breathe a little.

#24

ALSO, I can scratch another.
I named a star after Jessi on the International Star Registry.
It's not scientifically official, but it's the gesture that counts, right?
I did it for her birthday, which isn't until August.. so I'm just waiting until I can surprise her with it.
It comes with a certificate, and a chart to find it with a telescope.
:)

#6, #90

June book, MIDDLESEX, is finished.
I'm in summer school, so I'm having a bit of a hard time getting too much done.
BUTTTTT.
I can scratch #90 off my list: attend a PRIDE parade.
I went to Houston Pride on Saturday
(insert picture here)
and had a ton of fun.
I've never been so sweaty, gross, and filthy in my life, but that's summer weather for you.
:)
This is my July book, To Kill A Mockingbird.

#34;

have a significant other over for dinner.
check.
Jessi's been in Laredo with me for a few days now. she's practically family.
my mom and sister get along great with her. :)
we've only been dating for three and a half months, but it's something.

#6!!

I finished my May book, Breaking Dawn.
I have time to kill, so I'm gonna read Night by Elie Wiesel until June starts.
My June book is
Middlesex

:)

#6! & 70.

I forgot to mention I'd started my May book, Breaking Dawn.

:)
I had a great birthday, too. I spent the weekend in Austin and I saw Death Cab For Cutie for the third time on Friday.
[Scratching #70 off of my list :) ]

#6 & 54;

I finished Angels & Demons on the fourteenth :)
sooo, now I don't know what to do, hahahaha.

& I gave blood on Monday, kicking off #54: donate blood at least five more times.
[1/5]

I also almost fainted. :(

#56 IS FINISHED.

I thought I'd tell everyone I finished my no meat project!
I'm going on a date to Olive Garden tonight to celebrate and have a big entree with chicken in it. :)
Haaaa.
Anyway, forgot to mention I started reading Angels & Demons for this month.
I'm reading the illustrated edition, it's pretty good so far.
I've got so much to read, though.
I'm going to see how much I can get read on my trip to Laredo this weekend. [on Greyhound..]
I also have been sort of going on a book-buying frenzy. I bought my sister an Augusten Burroughs book [A Wolf at the Table] and I bought a Mitch Albom book [For One More Day], Into The Wild, Haunted (because I read Jessica's post about it being Chuck's best one), and a botany book. and I got The Five People You Meet In Heaven for Jessi.
I'm going to really enjoy reading the books for the remainder of the year. I already planned out books for the next six months. :) what a loser, I know.
Okay, bye!

#59

+ CHM 219 THU 3-5:50 [OCHEM LAB]

Fun times ahead.

#56 and a mix-up I'll fix later.

Today now marks day thirty one of being a vegetarian when thirty was my only goal.
I decided to do this for lent so I'm putting in those extra ten days for the hell of it.
I'm actually surprised that I got through it, it's so much harder than I thought it would be.

Also, I kinda fucked up with the numbering in my 101 so now it looks like I may have two more goals than I needed, so I may discard two when I finally catch the glitch and fix it.

#6;

Finished my march book :)
and for fun, I'm gonna read this.
:) until April starts, anyway.

FUN BOOK:


And this is my April book:


I run the risk of not finishing this one in April, but I'm going to give it a real shot.

Day 24 of vegetarianism.
It kinda sucks, not gonna lie.
I should have prepared better for it.

but I'm sticking this out :)

#6:

Forgot to mention I finished book #2 and am halfway or so through my March book,
New Moon.

#8!!

run up or down an escalator opposite to whatever direction it should already be going in?


I went to the woodlands mall with jessi on Thursday, just before closing time, so she could get her hair cut.
I ran up the downward one.
:) worth it, worth it.

progress?

I don't know, I figured people would be sort of curious about how this no meat project is working out for me.
It's day five.

I really didn't think that it would be as hard as it is.
I probably should have considered that chicken is my life and giving up cold turkey means finding a constant replacement that contains no meat at all.
I've been doing well, though.
breakfast hasn't changed too much. cereal and a banana.
lunch either has to be veggies in mass quantities to fill me up or.. pb&j/grilled cheese. so far.
I went to chili's lastnight and realized there was either salads or this.. blackbean burger. which I chose. which was totally weird but not terrible.
I will make it through this.
:)

#54

So tomorrow is lent.


and I thought this would be the perfect time to scratch off a goal.
and that would be be a vegetarian for thirty consecutive days.
plus ten for lent, huh?
START TOMORROW, GO.

Regarding #70!

[See Death Cab For Cutie again.]
I just bought my ticket yesterday for the only Texas date for Death Cab's 2009 tour.

May 01, 2009; Austin Music Hall.

This is also my birthday present to myself. [my birthday is May third.]
I can't wait.

#52

Fall in love..



Check.

long overdue.

I finished my January book and failed to tell you about it.
1/33.

My February book is
GIRLOSOPHY.

Gay? IDC.
----------------
I've still been keeping up with my 365, though it's harder to remember to take my pictures, since I take them at different times everyday.

I think I might be losing weight..
I've been going to the HKC every week like I said that I would, sometimes more often than that.


I'm also getting sick..
:(

#91: make amends with people I know I should make amends with.

>>I'm making considerable gains on this objective.
I won't get around to everyone so quickly but I've tried to make things right with two people so far..

#78: go to the hkc at least once a week.

>>I'm going today, so this week is down.
-----------------------------------------------
I haven't been keeping up with my reading, but I'll fix that over the weekend, I hope.
Starting school up again has made me realize I'm gonna have a lot I'm gonna need to take care of and maintain.
But I've been keeping up with #10, the 365 project. :) and I'm happy for that.





by the way, strikeout doesn't work on my list to the left, so I'll italicize what I've done instead... eh?

#53

[edit @ 5:30 pm]
so here's the deal.
the items in bold are the goals that will stretch across the 1001 days.. for the most part.
and anytime I make any progress, an update is sure to follow.
I should have taken more time to revise this list, but the first came before I was ready for it.
I'm starting anyway :)
