Can you tell I'm goal oriented?

Well thank you for answering my slightly bonkers questions. Here are my answers: if I could have any power - to know every single language in the world. The possibilities would be endless. And second question - 2 bums, you could just wear skirts and dresses to cover it :)

New goals. Long term life aims. Just to add to my list, this list is going to go on the side of my profile and I will cross them off as I go.

Okay this list was boring for you guys to read, but I just love coming up with things to do before I die.

Quick food update: restricting a lot this. 1/2 a can of tuna for lunch, diner with family. Working out. Purging. BUT on the positive, I feel like I'm in a really good place, I'm not feeling down or sad.



Questions:
1. What on my list have you done?
2. Is there anything you would add to my list?

I only did one thing from your list (so far): Learning to ski.
We went on a field trip with my school, and learned how to ski within a week. I was terribly untalented so I almost killed myself by being not able to stop falling down that mountain. ouch.

Eating With Others said...

I've done 17. 1 of them I can't do (I don't have the pluming) and let's face it number Number 42 is just a total heresy.

I want to do 3,4,10,11 (maybe next year), and 17. Of those 11 looks like it might happen next year.

I'm totally letting you slide on the eating because I'm screwing up my own so much.

I've been to the Great Wall of China before! I was twelve, and the steps were terrifyingly steep. The view was/is MAGNIFICENT though. But the history behind the Great Wall is rather sobering.

Hmm that would be 1, 5, 30, 36, 40, 42, 43 for me.

Let's challenge ourselves by commenting on each other's blogs in French by the end of the year! How about that? (:

*hugs*

P/s - It's quite embarrassing how I did French in school for five years and I'm still tongue-tied when it comes to speaking it.

Ooh good list - not boring to read at all..I love reading other peoples lists..

Number 9 is a good one ;) I've been to Venice (not on a gondola though), New York (but not on New Years Eve), Yosemite, and I was asked to do jury duty, but was in treatment at the time, so had to say no! I bought 12 roses for myself when I was doing my floristry course, I've passed my A-levels and done uni, been a mentor, had articles published...ok I'm probably boring you now!

On a more serious note, please be careful... achieving your goals will be much harder, if not impossible with an ED breathing down your neck...

I saw this and just had to comment. I have done number 5 (The Great Wall), 24 (First Class), 30 (passing school to get into University) 35 (Yoga), 38 (Become a metor, albeit unconciously), 49 (Teeth Whitened) and 50 (Learn to Ski).

I live in America, I'm not sure if I've told you. I also live in a climate that would make it quite easy to spend Christmas sipping Pina Colada's on the beach. I would house you for a year, no problem! And I am certainly not even kidding on this :) if you want to take a break for a year before you go to University, let me know :) I love housing people!

by the way, I just realized I commented on my private blog, but this is Le Jeune Fille a les ouiseaux :)
