New Years...Resolutions?

Inspired by Lauren over at the fabulously named and wonderfully written Gin, Tears and Creme Brulee, I decided to write a "23 things to do before I'm 23" list. It WOULD work better if I'd written it, say, on my 22nd birthday, so I'd have a year, but I work better with tight deadlines.

  1. 6 months at least without buying new clothes.
  2. See 12 new movies.
  3. See 12 new books.
  4. Knit 11 things.
  5. Learn to use a sewing machine
  6. Get some creative writing published.
  7. Blog at least once a week from today until my 23 birthday. Half of these have to be 'political' posts.
  8. Pick up at least one langauge again.
  9. Read 12 graphic novels.
  10. Keep my room tidy, or at least work out some kind of routine/roster thing to keep my room tidy.
  11. Do volunteer work at least twice.
  12. Complete every Monkey Island game except the 4th one, because it looks shitty.
  13. Take up dance, attend and practice every day.
  14. Write 23 letters.
  15. Complete 23 short stories (considering how many I have, it's not as big as it sounds.)
  16. Try out 23 new recipes.
  17. Learn the basics of first aid.
  18. Read 23 new short stories.
  19. Learn to draw things to my own satisfaction.
  20. Learn 23 useless facts.
  21. Memorize 10 poems.
  22. Go to at least two live theatre events.
  23. Throw a proper, grown up dinner party.
