akumanakoiSo, this is my first update on my list! I wasn't expecting to have too much to update in the first two weeks, and I definitely wasn't really expecting to have been able to mark anything as complete, but I did! :D
So, right now my list stands at:
On the list: 50/101
Completed: 2/101
In Progress: 7/101
And here are the updates~
Newly added:
48. Start recycling properly. Japan is huge on recycling but I kind of got lazy with it because my apartment management doesn't seem particularly strict with it. But I understand why it's a good thing to do, and it really shouldn't be too much effort, so I want to try.
49. Learn to read braille. I'm hoping this isn't something I will ever need to use myself, but it's something I'm interested in learning especially because if I do go back to England my career choice would be to do some kind of work with blind people. I think it'd be interesting to know how to read it.
50. Write and send a letter to Ryo Katsuji. Back in 2010, I met Ryo in London after seeing him performing in Musashi, and even though it was probably the end of a long day, even though he was on his way out and probably back to his hotel to sleep, even though there was a huge language barrier, he was so willing to stop and speak to me and sign my pamphlet, and I really respect him for that. I really want to write to him and tell him that.
Completed:
44. Inspire 2 other people to make a list.
Three of my friends ended up starting a list at pretty much the same time as me, after seeing me talking about it on my Livejournal. So I completed this goal + 1! It's nice that I could inspire some people to join in, and I'm looking forward to seeing how they progress too. :)
41. Find one item of clothing that Massu has actually worn, and buy it.
I honestly didn't expect to complete this one so quickly! But out of curiosity I searched his name under the 'fashion' category on Yahoo Auctions and came across someone selling an identical hoodie to the one he wore in the opening video of the Tegomass no Mahou concert (as well as on the shop photos for it too). I bid on it, and won.
So, here is a picture of Massu wearing his:
And here is a picture of me wearing mine:
In progress:
16. Go out with a friend at least once a month.
Completed this for October! Lindsey came to visit and stayed for 2 days, so we hung out and went to karaoke and to the zoo~!
I also ended up spending a spontaneous day with another friend for karaoke and shopping, so I've doubled this month already~!
29. Read 50 books I haven’t read before [1/50]
The selection of English books in Japan is limited but fortunately I mostly read crime/detective novels and they have a nice selection of those here at least, it seems. I bought a book called Private Games by James Patterson and just finished it. It was an awesome book. :D
30. Watch 100 movies I haven’t watched before [1/100]
Went to the cinema on Saturday and saw Resident Evil: Retribution (it was the one movie on at the time I needed to be there, lol), so one movie to add to my 100 so far!
33. Write 70,000 words of fanfiction
6779/70,000. I can't link the fic yet because it's part of an exchange and reveals haven't happened yet, but my fic for it totaled 6779 words, so that's a good start I've made to this total!
40. Buy 5 pairs of shoes.
I was passing by my favourite clothes shop and spotted a pair of awesome boots on sale, and so I picked them up because I've been wearing Crocs all summer but the weather is starting to get cooler and wetter now, so I knew I'd need something better soon, and I couldn't resist these. ♥ And here is a picture to prove it:
42. Get my clearfile collection to 300 [72/300]
When Lindsey visited she bought with her the clearfile she got for me from the Hey!Say!JUMP concert, to add to my collection. Here is a picture:
46. Update on my list every 2 weeks.
Of course, just by posting this I've progressed on this goal. ♥
