Let's Go

So not a lot has happened recently.

I've been divvying up my time between work, school and social life. It's like I have a severe case of schizophrenia where all my personalities are boring people. In a misguided attempt to fix the apathy pervading every aspect of my life, I've given myself something new to do every day. Most of the time they go unfinished because I'm an idiot and like to set unachievable goals, but I figure at least one of them will get done and I'll be able to brag about it endlessly.

Most of the ideas involve climbing buildings and eating various objects. So, yeah.

Retrospectively, I've not become the person I've always wanted to be. Very few people do. I don't find it a problem, but I woke up one day and looked at myself and was slightly bewildered as to how I got this way. I am, dare I say it?, happy with my life as it is, something I never thought possible. It's helped in part by the massive daily dosage of affection I receive from my wonderful significant other, of course.

Anyways. I figure it's time to set out who I want to be, and strive towards that, making any necessary changes down the road. I'm switching my daily tasks from pointless adventures to character-building experiences.

First off, I want to learn how to cook. I've been buying various flavouring packets and trying to memorize what goes in them so I can recreate it. I'll cook something new every week. That seems fair - 52 recipes in a year.

I also want to increase my contributions to society. I think that I'll volunteer for something new once a week, or at least a few times a month. Maybe even unrequested assistance, like picking up trash at a park or something.

I want to buff up. I will fight people once a week. In sparring, I mean.

Most importantly, I want to make new friends. I'll be able to do that through my other activities, but I think I will invite people over to hang on, maybe on 'try new recipe' day. We shall see.

There are so many things to do. My goal in life is to have something interesting to say when someone asks, "So what's up?". Live laugh share play.
