| Lack of update again, but I have an excuse this time, more on that later. Goals accomplished recently: 70. try a fruit i've never eaten before. - I had a sharon fruit. It was quite tasty, kind of like a combination of mango and apricot. The skin was a little tough and waxy for my liking but the flesh was really sweet and nice. I also started goal 51: keep some kind of record of interesting/important things that happen in my life for at least six months. Which leads me onto my excuse: I haven't been updating this LJ because I've been updating my new one. Lots. It's almost approaching spam levels XD so, if you want to read frequent ramblings and actual, personal lifestuff (there's emotions and pictures and everything on these posts) about actual me, not just this list, go ahead and add ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) pixiepanic:) I think I'm going to start friends-locking it sometime soon, but I might not. We'll see. Anyway, that's about it because I'm in pretty dire need of a nap. - Location:home.

but i've been super busy, so it's okay, right?
one thing i have learned over the past few weeks? goal 093. "make a mix cd (a playlist will do if making a physical cd is impossible) every week. label it with the date and keep a track listing for it. review periodically. " is really not going to work. i'm either not listening to enough music, or enough different music, or i'm not finding the time or i don't know, but it's not working for me. i don't know whether to strike it off the list, modify it or substitute it with something totally different.
i HAVE made considerable progress with several other goals, though. which makes me quite happy.
047. buy/beg/steal/borrow/somehow obtain a camera. [my dad bought me one for my birthday, as i requested. ergo, i am now a very happy shutterbug.]
053. get "passione" and "verità" tattooed on the inside of my arms. [i had these done at North Star in Harrogate on May 14th, 2009.]
089. obtain five new peacock-related objects. [1/5] (on Gareth's advice, i bought a pretty dress from h&m with a peacock pattern on it. it is my new favourite item of clothing).
090. buy some perfume that i actually like. wear it often. [okay, so i didn't buy it, it was a birthday present, but it was a requested present and i like it and i wear it frequently, so i figure it counts].
doesn't look like much written down but they were some of the bigger ones (especially 053) and i'm quite pleased. i promise a better update with pictures and stuff when i've actually had some sleep and i've actually done my exams and stuff and am not in a state of utter panic. i think that's fair. yes.

| another fairly uneventful week. i did, however, book in for my passione and veritá tattoos. i'm going to north star in harrogate to have them done at 11am on may 14th, which is the day before my birthday :D this week's playlist is a little different. instead of assembling a playlist, i've only really got one song that's been looping in my head this week, so here it is: ( pink; please don't leave me. ) | |

| okay, a late update, but an update all the same. stuff accomplished last week: 16. hug fifty different people. with reason. random, meaningless hugs do not count. [10/50] gavin (brother), mike (stepdad), sean (uncle), spuddy (sister), mum, grandad browne. family gatherings rock for this task. 24. dance at a wedding. it was my uncle sean's wedding on saturday 11th, so my sister and i danced a little there. 54. learn how to make brownies from scratch. gareth and i made brownies on... friday? saturday? anyway, they were awesome, and i have the recipe written down so i have LEARNED, yes. 93. make a mix cd (a playlist will do if making a physical cd is impossible) every week. label it with the date and keep a track listing for it. review periodically. [3/143] 95. watch seven of these films. [1/7] gareth and i watched fight club on more4, because it's wonderful, yes. fairly productive week, actually! awesome. for those who care, this week's playlist can be found under the cut. brownie recipe to follow when i can be bothered to dig it out of the notebook. ( track list; tres ) | |

| busy week. i've been in leicester since last thursday, and i've accomplished a few things: 16. hug fifty different people. with reason. random, meaningless hugs do not count. [4/50] three more this week: gareth, caroline and amy. gareth because he is lovely and our hugs are full of reason, caroline because i've known her ages and finally met her this week, and amy as she is my new friend and we totally geeked everyone out talking about world of warcraft. yes. 32. visit caroline in leicester. fairly simple, now accomplished.
42. get re-fitted and buy three decent, well-fitting bras. i'm torn on this one. we went underwear shopping and i did buy bras, but i was too lazy to get measured since it was sunday and bleh. so i didn't. so technically i can't cross it off. d'oh. nevermind, i'll just have to go underwear shopping again. tragic.
86. buy ten dvds. [4/10]
we went to cex in leicester, i got four dvds for a tenner, cos i'm pro. they were: the virgin suicides; romeo + juliet; the faculty; the edge of love.
93. make a mix cd (a playlist will do if making a physical cd is impossible) every week. label it with the date and keep a track listing for it. review periodically. [2/143]
( track list; dos. )unfortunately, i forgot to take my multi-vitamins whilst i was away, so i have to start again on the following: take my multi-vitamins every day for thirty consecutive days. [0/30] oh well. it's been a good week. it's my uncle's wedding tomorrow, so hopefully more meaningful hugs with family and dancing, yes. - Mood:sleepy

so, i'm writing this now since i have nothing better to do whilst my hair dyes, and also because i'm running south for a week and will hopefully have more stuff done when i get back.
updates for week one are few, but this is to be expected.
in progress:
5. actually read a novel by chuck palahnuik.
7. take my multi-vitamins every day for thirty consecutive days. [6/30]
16. hug fifty different people. with reason. random, meaningless hugs do not count. [1/50]
93. make a mix cd (a playlist will do if making a physical cd is impossible) every week. label it with the date and keep a track listing for it. review periodically. [1/143]
i've started reading lullaby by chuck palahnuik. seems okay so far, i expect to get a bit further into it on the train later.
my first meaningful hug was my friend richard, who i went to see yesterday. the reason behind the hug was simply that i hadn't seen him in ages, he had a bad dream and was upset, and he lent me money. i reckon that's meaningful, personally :)
music this week has been all about pace. i've had a lot to do and i've been working in fits and starts, so i've needed stuff that moves fast enough to give me energy, although this sort of got mixed in with generic trash that reminds me of summer because it's actually starting to feel like it might be getting a little bit warmer.
( track list; uno. )
i reckon that's about it for this week. i swear these multivitamins get bigger and more gross-tasting every day. nevermind. time to rinse my hair out, hand in coursework and get on a train. - Mood:exhausted

| so, i re-wrote my mission101 list. why? basically, because i wrote the last one directly after a breakup. not a good plan. this one had more thought and less emotional influence. most of the stuff on here is pretty standard, not-too-exciting and relatively inexpensive. in fact, the vast majority of it will hopefully cost me nothing at all. but i don't think there's anything wrong with that. and anyway, it's my list. it's also not in a particular order. my official start date will be on saturday, since that means i'll finish on christmas eve. 2011. i should be able to remember that, at least. begin: 28/03/2009. (saturday).
end: 24/12/2011. (saturday). ( the list. )</div> - Location:home.
- Mood:satisfied
 - Music:pulp.
