How to refine my Wardrobe: Wear whats comfortable and fashionable for me!
It took me
30 days
It made me
satisfied

How I did it: Weeded through what was there, no matter how new or expensive it was, if it wasn't working, it went. Good stuff doesn't have to be expensive, but it has to work for the location...Out here (northwest) I'm doing a lot of layering with thinnner sweaters/jackets/and rain gear so a lot of my bulky stuff was just overkill... its not THAT cold.Look for good quality not high end.  I found an awesome cashmere sweater (summer weight) on sale for 2… Read how I did it…

How to sketch more
It took me
90 days
It made me
hum

How I did it: I go in waves of 'anxiety' and 'pretty cool' which seem to sequence in with my use of written journals and sketch journals respectively. I've been carting arround my sketch journal for the past three months and there are by no means 90 pages worth of stuff in there, but maybe 30, and they are all works in progress. I write poems, quotes, notes to self, and draw or do impressions of the world around me. Its better than carrying a camera an… Read how I did it…

find my way home
where do i want to live? 1 day ago

In the next 6-8 months, i’m going to need to find a place to move where there is work/jobs available and that has good things that i will enjoy.
I need to narrow down what i’m looking for in my life.

I have been away from home here at school near seattle for 4 months now and i’m really liking it out here but i wouldn’t want to live here.

Lots to work out, if i even have a choice.

Write at least one letter a week to friends or family (read all 9 entries…)
Postcards from Oregon 1 day ago

I got 8 knocked out this weekend, :) Gotta love postcards.

I think though that i need to start being a bit more candid in my letters. I don’t expect people to write me back, but pleasentries are not enough to keep me really in touch with the people i love. I love them because i can rely on them and look for support in them and alternately so that they trust me when they need a true friend.

I’m gonna write some christmas cards this week and include some notes therein. :) I’ve got the envelopes addressed and now i’ve just got to do some cut/paste/printing to get the outsides delivery ready!

I love the holidays and the spirit of family and coming home. :)

invite friendship by living gracefully (read all 20 entries…)
Foot in Mouth Remedy 1 day ago

I need to be aware of how i affect people, that’s not to say that i’m a bad person all the time or that my habits or views are inherently BAD in thier difference.
I admire things in myself that can sometimes be problematic when dealing with others, my determination and curiousity have lately lent themselves to me seeming ‘mouthy and disrespectful’. I need to channel these parts of me into useful outlets.

I need to do some more public speaking or some group organization perhaps…
I think the first thing i’ll do is plan a dinner/party at my house for sometime between now and christmas, maybe i’ll try and run a noise club meeting?

How to even begin that?

On the lookout for good talking opportunities. Maybe volunteer?
