what was up with that?!

SUPER LIST UPDATE OF EPIC PROPORTIONS! not really. I just haven't done this in a while. I haven't even crossed anything off. Now I'm just putting it down, before it even got a chance. My god, girl, STOP IT. Yeah, I just realised I'm in one of those moods where I'm being a bit of a spaz. Ah well, enjoy.

First on the list is 43). Learn to speak danish. I started listening to the podcasts. The first one was awesome. I can now say hi and bye formally and informally. And the second one was all about ordering coffee. I do truly love iced coffee. But that's as far as the love goes. Normal coffee is just used for pulling all-nighters. Line drawn. But I figured I'd hold out and listen so I learn how to ask for things from coffee shops. SHE SPOKE SO FAST. Change from oh look repeat this one word three times to repeat this REALLY long sentence. That I said really fast. That I won't break down to manageable chunks. *cue evil laughter*. I haven't listened since. All I remember is "yava got be-a-man cofi, tuk". That's right. I'd like some coffee. In my version of danish. I bet you feel smarter. Unless you are danish. In which case I bet you feel insulted. Or like giggling. Either way.

I have tried new recipes for 45). It was good fun. Last tuesday H came over and helped me cook veal mushroom something ness. And when I say help I mean, basically, I 'directed'. As in, looked confusingly at the recipe and ate bits of mushroom. So it doesn't really count as trying new recipe. But this tuesday I cooked alone and made a mess and didn't have all the ingredients but put gnocchi something something rather on the table. Papa loved it. I wasn't hungry. Mother dearest and Munchkin didn't like it. But still, new recipe. Which I'll write up later when I next need to procrastinate.

Last saturday I went to the city again. I thought I was getting better. I thought I was at the stage where I could walk around and not feel completely lost. Turns out I was lying to myself. I had no idea where we were. But I didn't really care tbh; only the 'crap, you'll never cross 48). off' bit of caring. But yes, much learning to be had. done? Much learning, all the same.

I wanted to get my tattoo for 55). this saturday. I was mad excited for it. Bout frikin time. But then A trips me out by saying I'm meant to research the place I want to get it done at first. In depth research. About artists and their style and the time they take and other people's opinions. SHITE. I didn't want that. I wanted a vague air of teenage immaturity to it. I didn't want to it to be super planned. If I didn't feel comfortable in a place I wouldn't get my tat there. Simple as that. But now I feel like I'm being irresponsible if I don't. And I really don't want an "I-told-you-so" moment. GRRR.

This is already crossed off but for 60). right, my 'free hugs' t-shirt? NO ONE WANTS MY HUGS. People will tell me about their lung cancer and three wives and daughter and allergy to penicillin, but I don't get hugs! I'm wearing it to the next drunken party. Drunk people love hugs, right? I hope so. Otherwise I class the shirt as a fail. And I don't know if that means I have to redo 60).

Boring one. 68). Back up computer one. I just put all the important stuff onto Jasper so back up successful. Woo. Go team.

Jasper makes me feel like I type faster. It's the new shiny-ness for sure but I'm just going to check, ok? I shall be typing about Aesop's fables for 3 mins. If there is an excessive amount of punctuation I will throw something. DUDE. They updated the site. And I can't remember how I went last time. But! my typing speed is now 45 words per minute but I made mistakes so they averaged me down to 39 words per minute. I'm on the higher end of average. This shouldn't make me so happy. Not quite 80 wpm for 69). Im beginning to think that that was much too ambitious.

I BOUGHT PLANE TIX TO MELBOURNE!!! You have no idea how hard it was to contain that so as to maintain a chronological flow. Damn OCD. I get to visit family, visit Rach ( I still haven't gotten her letter. I will throw things at the postman or woman ) and cross something off my list. I'm absolutely positive I can find a place in Melbourne I haven't been to before so I can cross off 79). YAY. But I'm more excited about visiting people. Obviously. And flying. I love flying so much. Did I mention, YAY!?

And lastly, at house sitting place there was a double bed. Twas amazing. But odd. I'm so ridiculously not used to it. And now Xander seems really small ( If the naming of inanimate objects has struck you as odd, i apologise. I enjoy naming things ). When I get to cross off 101). there will be some mixed feelings. Single beds leave so much more room in the room. But that's the only advantage I can think of.

I had other news. Random bits of crap. The title of this blog is reference to todays garfield comic. Go forth and find. I got a hair cut. No it's not dramatic or purple or shaved. It's just slightly shorter. I'm planning to redo the blue tomorrow. I kind of want to go blonde now. Why can't I make a decision and stick to it!?! I'm trying to cut the word 'like' out of my vocabulary. I use it excessively. It's pathetic. And so teenage-girl. So it shall stop. And I'll sound classy. haha.

MuchLove

60). Decorate a T-shirt

Finally, got around to decorating the shirt I've had for a really long time now. I actually wore it twice or more, feeling super guilty; constantly thinking... this shirt should be cooler!!

But it so is now =]

My stencil was never going to work. Cutting through acetate is tricky. Even with a scalpel. ( yeah, I was allowed to use a scalpel. bet you're jealous ). So I free-handed. It's weird painting onto fabric. Kinda fun though. I only screwed up once. I'm still not sure how, but theres a tiny silver spot of paint on the left that isn't meant to be there.

I'm now madd excited to wear it out in public and see how many hugs I get. I'll need to wear it ASAP, becuase it's getting colder and jumpers covering it would make me sad. And would mean less hugs. Which would be tragic.

I still have a lot of silver paint. This hardly made a dint. I need projects for painting, so I can get better at this. Any ideas?

working titles don't work that hard, do they?

ok. I know I already blogged today. Whatever. I'll do what I want. That's how rebel I am. Or how rebel I'm not, depending how you look at it. Moving on...

For list related:

I bought a t-shirt. It was 5$. I didn't even bother trying it on. I should have though. It's ridiculously long but I'm just going with it. It's meant to be all bunched up around my waist. OK? good =] anyhoo, this means I can complete 60). soon. I hope. I'm excited for it. E has fabric paint, which is convenient. It's a black shirt though so I'm curious as to see how that works. Hopefully, some time this week I can FINALLY cross something off the list, rather than start or partially complete.

On that note, I've realised that there are too many things on the list I won't be able to cross off until the end. GRR AT PAST ME.

I've found two blogs to follow! I fell in love with a guy named Charlie =] he's on youtube, and therefore a vlogger. http://www.youtube.com/charlie#p/a I sat and used up alot of internet downloads but it doesn't matter because he's adorable. And by adorable I mean British; because the two are almost interchangable. Many thanks to T for finding him for me. The second is a girl in New York. http://blackberriestoapples.blogspot.com/ I'm not entirely sure why this one is so amazing to me despite the obvious... she lives in New York and I'm overwhelmed with jealousy and ( you can never be sure but ) she seems genuinely honest, which I have a deep respect for. So yes, I'll find my third blog to follow for 76). and then I'll never be able to cross it off. Until the end. darn you, past me. darn you.

I played pokemon yellow yesterday. It was epic =] apart from the fact that I'm up to the bit with the cave. I hate the caves. Which is most likely why I put it aside last time, because caves are frikin ANNOYING. I'm never going to cross off 89). though if I leave it alone everytime I reach a cave. I have amazing character names though. My name in it is woman, so everytime they refer to me I giggle. Pikachu's name is Minion. Someone is ninja. I love naming things.

AND be amazed with me. I just looked at the time. 11.11. YEAH!!

At the gathering last night, one of the guys had the phone I want. Nokia N97. I was immensly jealous. A hid it under a couch =] I don't know why that's so amusing. Even now. Anyway, I looked into getting it (again) and it's cheaper. Like, 30$ a month. Which would be amazing. If I earnt 30$ a month. hmph.

I have just noticed I say amazing way too much. But that's ok. I think excellent sounds sarcastic for some reason so I don't use it, but I should start. As you don't know that. But now you do. Fail at logic. Bugger.

And another completely related-to-nothing train of thought: I always imagined using fake names for all my friends if I ever had a blog. I have not. Well, I've used first names only. I could make up fake last names =P nah. o well. You know what? let's fix this problem. Friends now go by the first letter of their name. Or close enough. I'm only allowed to know 26 people now...

AND! I'm getting lessons from Papa in the near future on how to open the front door quietly so I can sneak in. Does that seem slightly ridiculous to anyone else? I still maintain it's not my fault but rather the door's.

finally: I've made the effort to capitalize the start of sentences and use proper punctuation and spelling. Oh, capitalising 'I' is the mostest annoying. I use msn too much, it's my only excuse. So if I've missed things I humbly apologise, and wish to let you know I am trying.

muchlove.
