After class today, I had time to run over to a friend's house. I babbled at her about my characters and she did the same. It was very therapeutic. I really, really love talking about my characters. She fell in love with Soup (cause he's
shiny awesome) and I claimed one of her characters.
My friend and I went to 4-H afterwards, and it was frustrating as ever. I swear, we are the least active club, in the least active county! It's so annoying! I really want to get involved, but it's nearly impossible. Our county meetings were shut down because the Ag. center is pretty chaotic. So we're doing nothing. They stopped the meetings and the committee I was chairing to re-write the county constitution. I understand mostly, because there was a lot of bickering and hostility in the whole group but...! Gah! I only have one more year for this! A lot of the people on council don't even have a year.
101:
12. Get over my fear of the phone by talking to someone every day for a month
My cell phone is ded. And I didn't get a chance to talk to anyone on the house phone. So, back to square one.19. Buy and complete 50% the exercises in "The 3 A.M. Epiphany: Uncommon Writing Exercises That Transform Your Fiction"
I started, but didn't finish, the next exercise, which is all about writing in imperatives.
21. Write a short story (under 5000 words)
I think I've sorta decided on the plot for this, but I'm still working.
24. Practice piano every day for 42 days
Check
28. Sketch a male face that dad recognizes as a guy without being prompted
This is harder than I thought. Not because I can't draw guys, but more because I can't prompt him. I can't say, "Does this look like a guy to you?" And he's not likely to just randomly say, "That's a guy!"
40. Take calcium in the morning and C, B and Multi at night for a month
Another day down
50. Wear make-up everyday for 3 weeks
*Nodnodnod*
54. Do the splits
Ooooowwwww... I've been stretching. I'm not really close. But I'll get there! I know I will!
58. Stop using the words "hate" or "love" except for when I really mean them
My friend hit me a couple times for using them, and I started thinking before I would say anything.
71. Do a sketch a day for thirty days
Day two. I sketched Dirt and Jocelyn because they are so cute.
72. Do improv on the piano everyday for a month
I just set a timer and played pretty much randomly for 5 mins. I'll start lengthening the time each day, but yeah.
93. Complete an altered book
Still working on it. I got *some* stuff done...
98. Go a month sticking strictly to my dietary restrictions (no wheat or dairy)
Mom and I were talking about this, so it looks like I'll be starting tomorrow.
