101 Goals, in 1001 Days.

This is an idea I've been toying with for sometime, I've seen other people do it, and I think I'd like to attempt this myself. There is a lot I'd like to do with my life, I just lack the actual motivation to do it. So, by agreeing to something like this, I'll only be angry with myself if I don't succeed :)

Appearance
1: Maintain a reasonably healthy diet that I can live happily with.
2: Dye at least part of my hair the remaining colors of the rainbow. (Red, purple, pink, blue done.)
3: Reverse the effects that smoking did to my teeth.
4. Get a "literary tattoo."
5. Begin exercising again, and stick with a schedule for each week.
6. Lower my % body fat.

Photography
7. Take a random picture, every single day of the experiment, and upload them to a Flickr account.
8. Take a "self-portrait" once a week, every week (not to be counted in the "picture everyday.")

School
9. Find myself in a school that can provide me with the degree I want.
10. Maintain at least a B average in all of my classes.
11. Intern or volunteer at an aquarium or marine rehab center.

Socialization
12. Make ten new friends with the intention of being able to stand people better.
13. Leave the house with a friend and hang out once a week (weather/work/school permitting).
14. Tell eight people how I truly feel about them, good or bad.
15. Go to every Of Machines hometown show, again, weather/work/school permitting.
16. Visit Winter the Dolphin in Clearwater, Florida, again.

Experiences
17. Learn to cook meals that are not solely baked goods, omelets, or pancakes.
18. Continuing learning to speak Italian.
19. Take my driver's test, and, finally, get my license.
20. Cook one thing from every cookbook in the house (there's a lot.)
21. Learn a programming language.
22. Fly an airplane.
23. Finally figure out how to make the "water droplet" noise with your mouth.
24. Go to a wine tasting event.

Art
25. Get back to playing piano.
26. Buy more canvases to paint again.
27. Make a Warcraft flask (like this) because that turned out so amazingly well.
28. Paint a room, Jackson Pollock style.
29. Begin writing a book, even if I'm the only one to ever read it.
30. See twenty new bands live.

Overcoming Fears
31. Speak in front of a crowd.
32. Hug a clown (even if I cry afterward).
33. Don't hold back my emotions or feelings, be up front about things even if they can lead to a confrontation.

Travel
34. Take a trip to a foreign country.
35. Go on a road trip with friends.
36. Spend a weekend in the mountains.

Financial
37. Move into my own place.
38. Save up $3,000.
