I removed 58 from this list for undisclosed reasons and am simply too lazy to renumber.

1.Lose that weight you've really been meaning to. Or at least qualify for "healthy
2.Fried eggs is not an acceptable breakfast when you have it every day. So stop doing that.
3.Do not buy candy or Pop-Tarts from the vending machines. Or the StuCo locker.
4.Water > soda. Juice is also > soda. Remember this.
5.Exercise twice a week. Yes, this may mean missing out on precious sleep.

6.Go fully vegetarian or cut out meat that is not fish. Again.
7.Take your vitamins, every day.
8.Limit caffeine intake to one “thing” of coffee in the mornings, with the OCCASIONAL caffeinated soda.
9. Get roughly the proper amount of sleep every night. While 12 hours is proper and then some, 3AM – 3PM is not a good sleep schedule.
10. Get four or five or twenty more baby naming books.

11. Get published. Preferably with monetary compensation.
12. Expand/finish I Have Sighted Beauty.
13. Do NaNoWriMo at least the very next time, if not the time after as well. Finish.
14. Finish all the fiction works you've started.
15. Write more of your inconsequential rants. They're funny [to me].

16. Read the complete works of Shakespeare.
17. Read [some of/more of] those science-fiction writers you've really been meaning to read. Bujold, Zelazny, Spider Robinson, Aspirin, and those back issues of Analog on your bookshelf, to name a few.
18. In fact, read every book you own. This is not as daunting as it sounds. Quit whining.
19. If reading all the books you own does not cover it, read at least 143 books. (That's about 1/week, which is already your goal.)
20. Not abandon your blog[s]. That is to say, a post a week, at the very least.

21. Obtain a phone with a QWERTY keyboard, so you can obsessively update your blog, even when not near a computer! Wowza!
22. Get an actual website for Popsicle Irony.
23. Merge the LJ posts and the Blogger posts. Keep both accounts.
24. Get more page-views on your blog[s]. Because you have something interesting to say, not because you just keep refreshing the page.
25. Write at least 3 music reviews.

26. Write at least 3 product reviews.
27. Write at least 3 book reviews.
28. Get a functional laptop/fix the one you have.
29. Get an MP3 player that will not break constantly.
30. Stop using spell check to help you spell words.

31. Complete the 700+ pages of MySpace surveys you have stored. Then you can delete the file and never do a survey again. Because you'll be really, really sick of them.
32. Actually learn CSS/HTML, instead of just faking it.
33. Learn Java Script. At least a little.
34. Learn how to use Photoshop/the GIMP. Actually, instead of just faking it.

36. Gauge ears to... 10, 12, ish. Haven't quite decided. (currently at 16)
37. Get an industrial piercing.
38. Get a lip piercing.
39. Do something really stupid. Like sky diving.
40. Dye your hair a way funky color.

41. Graduate.
42. Get into a “good” college. Ivy League if you can manage. Anywhere with a good business program.
43. Study business and marketing.
44. Become more organized. Get rid of those notebooks you hold onto.
45. Get a job. Like, a real job.

46. Pretend to care about looking “professional” for school.
47. Write all assigned papers.
48. Turn said papers in on time.
49. Visit Canada.
50. Visit New York.

51. Visit Chicago. For real this time.
52. Meet Jackson Rathbone.
53. Talk to someone [relatively] famous and have something intelligent/non-creepy to say. “My parents have your wedding invitation.” is neither.
54. Do the midnight line thing for a movie. [suggestion: The Last Airbender.]
55. See all the films that Jake said you should.

56. Have a movie marathon party.
57. Do more social things.
59. Still be friends with your “best friend” right now. This will only be difficult for the '10-'11 school year, I think.
60. Make more [good] friends.

61. Be in a relationship with someone who is actually ready to be in a relationship.
62. Kiss in the rain.
63. Dance in the rain. That's not cliché at all...
64. Attend prom.
65. Discover new bands.

66. See Rise Against in concert. You just keep missing them.
67. See 100monkeys in concert.
68. Attend Vans Warped Tour.
69. Two words: Mosh. Pit.
70. Learn how to play the bass. Instead of just saying “Oh, look at me, I have a bass.”

71. Play an instrument on the street. Er, sidewalk. If you get money, hey, money.
72. Sing more karaoke.
73. Have more stories. Someone will eventually notice that you only have 12ish, and just tell them over and over again.
74. Make a coherent comedy routine.
75. Actually perform it. For someone not your family or friends.

76. Fake knowledge about something obscure to see if anyone notices. Like underwater basket weaving. Or that speech you did on why purple was the color of royalty. Good times.
77. Prepare more intelligent insults and comebacks. Because/Even though most of the people you know are total idiots.
78. Go forward with that invention of yours. It's really a good idea, and I don't think anyone's thought of it yet. Or at least patented it.
79. Perform all of your “Social Experiments”. (0/7)
80. Act like you're “someone”. See if people “play along”.

81. Be in a play. “At least” on tech or costumes.
82. Obtain a kitten. Also, you should probably stop using the word “obtain” like that.
83. Memorize Firefly.
84. Go to about 5 conventions. Cool ones. (0/5)
85. Get a new corset.

86. Go to Ren Faire.
87. Get driver's license. Yes, this means actually practice-driving again. I believe in you.
88. Fix up that junker of a car on the lawn.
89. Paint said junker like the Voot cruiser.
90. Stop collecting weird things, like envelopes. It's weird.

91. Stash away money. (Have >$1000?) Do NOT use it on silly little things. Also, yell at someone about how you do not have the bank card the bank promised you.
92. Give blood. If they'll let you.
93. Do about 100 hours of volunteer work. (0/100)
94. Participate in a protest.
95. Do all the things you've said you were going to do over the years. Well, maybe not ALL, but all the “good” ones at least.

96. Give out random compliments. Non-creepy ones, preferably, but, hey, what're you gonna' do.
97. Be more honest.
98. Stick with what you've said. If you like something, say so, then hear someone else [anyone else] say they don't like it, do NOT rescind your statement.
99. Just because it sounds like a really good idea (like doing a cartilage piercing yourself) doesn't mean it is (like making an infected cartilage piercing yourself). Think things over before acting on them. [translation: don't do anything permanent on a whim.]
100. Have someone tell you: “Wow, you're not online as much anymore.”
101. Clean out under your bed. [Yeah, this really is a multiple-year task. :| ]

82. Obtain a kitten. Also, you should probably stop using the word “obtain” like that.

2. But it really isn't!

24. I am very guilty of this.

51. Well, we were there for a convention, and all I saw of Chicago was the convention center and a pizza place. Good pizza. (The UofC book they sent me claims that Chicago was nicknamed for its windy _rhetoric_. They lied hardcore).

70. I am also very guilty of this.

82. I really do mean obtain, though. By any means necessary.

91. I was supposed to get my bank card _months_ ago. _Someone_ is defective, clearly.
