The Fun List:
- build a fort
- start Spanish vocab flashcards
I have an enormous collection of these, but they are simply pen on flimsy paper. I would really like to make a nice, visually-stunning set of Spanish flashcards for fun and also to help find my artistic niche.
I'm going to make myself start this on February 1st, 2011. Freestyle Mind is a wonderful blog that I follow and am consistently inspired by.
- fill/complete a journal with a daily update
This blog counts as my journal.
- take art classes, make big art
This will happen over the summer, and I'm so pumped! I'll be applying to Austin Community College summer courses.
- paint my own self-portrait
I actually just bought the canvas for this today. The question is: what style will this be in? I'll have to draw it out first, then explore my options...I'll give myself one week for that part.
- read every book I own, without buying anything new
This will definitely be a challenge, as I have both a book-buying problem and a lot of books to read in my little library under the stairs.
- watch 100 black-and-white movies
I will update this list as it takes form!
I am so close to this goal. I just need a little time in a foreign country to do the trick, and a little more conversational help.
- volunteer at a soup kitchen on Thanksgiving Day
I wanted to do this in 2010, but plans didn't work out that way. Hopefully this year.
- run for an entire mile without stopping
If I can work out every day for 45 minutes, I should be able to do run an entire mile without stopping afterrrrr...6 months? Is that plausible? (I don't run.)
- drive a planned route with stops through Texas
Where shall I go? We shall see. I just want to travel and appreciate this big, beautiful state before moving on.
I've held parties before, but nothing adorable and well-planned like the link above.
- find your signature scent and nail color
Today, it dawned on me. I want a scent that smells kind of like tea. I love, LOVE tea. I can't make it through a day without at least one glass of tea. So obviously, my signature scent should match my signature drink. My favorite color is orange, but my skin does not really match that color, so orange as a nail color is out of the question. I really, really would like to step out of the pale-pink box, though, so maybe periwinkle? Hm. Cute!
- attend 10 free Austin events
Why have I not done this yet? There are too many of these to count in Austin, and I suck at appearing for these events. No longer!
- attend 10 Austin musical events/shows
Again, why have I not?
They do not necessarily have to be real events, but designing posters is just another step towards finding my artistic style.
- paint/collage 10 canvases of ideal environments
For some reason lately, I have been able to recall my dreams very easily and vividly. My mind creates insane, loopy and daring environments and I think that placing them on paper could be beneficial and interesting.
I have always wanted to make a chair, preferably out of wood, but anything works, really.
- make dinner and dessert for close friends
We are all about to go our separate ways, so I would really like to have a nice, casual and fun evening of delicious food to cherish these waning moments we have together.
- write and send everyone a birthday card on their birthday
I am not sure why, maybe to keep myself on track, to make up for flakiness committed in the past, or just to be nice, but everyone likes a card on their birthday, and everyone likes getting something in the mail.
