Definitely some things worth applause. You deserve to treat yourself a bit.

Sometimes I start the list with 15 new ones and 10 from the previous year. I have to cross five off before I can add five. Otherwise I'd keep piling things on. I did actually do some woodworking and research on education options, but not much to show just now, so I'm hoping to improve that before putting a line through those. I fugure Nano is for the "Someday I'll write a book." and it gives you that someday. BFSC is for all those other Somedays. My life otherwise would be boring and bland but each year I do this I can say that even when I was working for money these were the things I do fo living. Theres just too much of this world to experiance to wait for permission to experiance. It's like that 'thing' you always wanted to do but you need to save up for it or schedual other things first. And they just become excuses rather than legitimate interferance, because if you didn't have them between you and that thing you'd have to face the fact that it's up to you to own your life. Thus is my philosophy on life. At least these days.

Got to get away from the screen soon, headache, need more water and sleep. I really should stop staying up THIS late. NaNo is OVER! XD But I really do like your philosophy, everyone should have one they stick by, as long as it isn't like. "Kill at least one person this year(in RL, story it's a different matter then)." I'm just excited for lilfe in general. Christmas break I'm going to begin sort of "training" for a website design career. Just enough to push me to college, most likely using loans and scholarships as a big lean onto. But, since I want to pursue acting, once out of college I can just fly to where the oppurtunities are and take my job with me. It's perfect. And I've been playing the computer only since I was like five! And have done very minimal website design myself. There was this old website Blinx or Blinkx. I was an awful troll. I don't know what possed me. So if ANYONE out there is or knows anyone who was HTML something on Blinx or Blinks I still feel pretty guilty about what a troll I was. For NO apparent reason. I don't remember. They were kind. Helped me with my site. Did everything that had to be done for my site. It was perfect. Just an all out troll. Pity the trolls, they are twelve year olds that have become possesed and have FAR too much time on their hands. I know from experience. That turned into a long post of tangent. So anyway, nice philosophy and great to see you're living life to the fullest. And if you don't mind I'm going to ramble myself to sleep.

May you live an iteresting life and ignore those who think that's a curse.
