20 before 20, revisited.

1. find a job. check!
2. find a full time job i love. check!
3. make a bosom friend. does craig count? we are so similar it's crazy, and good.
4. learn to sew. yeah, um working on that one.
5. work out my allergies/intolerances. see above answer, hehe :)
6. hold a dinner party. this really isn't my style. i'd like to do a potluck sometime this year.
7. win a game of real life scrabble against david. yeah, we didn't play enough scrabble to do so. think i'll scrap this one off the list altogether.
8. scrap; make time for it. enjoy it. wow, this one has really hasn't stuck. i've done one page this year. hmm. needs more work.
9. visit margaret river. i took a spontaneous trip with craig to dunsborough a few months ago. we had an absolute ball so it's close enough :)
10. get a library card. still to do. 
11. buy an instant camera. i have instagram, hipstamatic and lemelemecam on the iphone, i don't think a polaroid camera is too necessary right now.
12. try zumba. ha! i actually did this. with david's mum and sister. it was too fast and too little a class and i dunno, i haven't been too keen to go back. but i did it! :D yay!
13. take an evening cooking class. this is still something i want to do.
14. watch an afl match live. this is happening next sunday! :DDD
15. have date nights. :) we've been to rifo's italian restaurant, sucker punch, darwin deez and the moon for late night dessert pizza, took a trip to dunsborough for the night, spent mornings browsing stores after hot imp drinks, caught the midnight screening of harry potter, had v burgers from the view in kings park, spent the day at the hillary's on a double date (double pts!) involving aquariums and chocolate restaurants and just recently headed to burger edge for the most delicious burger yet. this task was well and truly smashed in the last 3 months.
16. stop eating packaged sugary junk. well it's been cut down. i don't just purchase copious amounts of chocolate bars out of vending machines and in terms of junk; maccas and the like aren't really choices anymore... i'd call that a win.
17. try 1 new restaurant a month. yes and yes.
18. attend a costume party with a kick-arse handmade costume. i did attend an 80s themed party and i went so far as to crimp my hair so i'm giving this a tick.
19. create a space to let my creativity flow. still working on this one, along with the scrapping and stuffs.
20. make a tangible album documenting my last teen-year. this one's an epic fail. but i do have a wall mural going on documenting our love, so i feel okay about it :)


For something I never really gave any thought to due to massive life changed (who has time for a silly list?! :D), I actually achieved a lot this year. Tomorrow I turn twenty. No teen for me. Bit scared that I haven't 'done anything with my life' yet... Ah well it's all a work in progress.


New goals as of tomorrow!

Twenty before 20.


This is the face I make when I remember I'm turning 20 in August this year. This is also a picture of me looking like a boy in my pre-5 years. Looking at this, I felt I really had potential, besides my obvious disgust in books. Now I feel like I'm going nowhere fast. Or even slowly. I'm just stagnant. So I'm making a list. Twenty things to do before I'm 20. Take two.

1. find a job.
2. find a full time job i love.
3. make a bosom friend.
4. learn to sew.
5. work out my allergies/intolerances.
6. hold a dinner party.
7. win a game of real life scrabble against david.
8. scrap; make time for it. enjoy it.
9. visit margaret river.
10. get a library card.
11. buy an instant camera.
12. try zumba.
13. take an evening cooking class.
14. watch an afl match live.
15. have date nights.
16. stop eating packaged sugary junk.
17. try 1 new restaurant a month.
18. attend a costume party with a kick-arse handmade costume.
19. create a space to let my creativity flow.
20. make a tangible album documenting my last teen-year.

I feel more productive already.
