What Wii games do you have? We could totally play each other. I love my Wii.

Wanna hear a sad story about social anxiety? I was supposed to turn in an e-commerce homework last week, but part of it was interviewing a store manager so I just skipped it completely. I spent three weeks wondering how I was going to get up the courage to do it. Then I spent a week going, hey, I could still turn it in late. Then it was past the late deadline. I felt so much better then. At least I got 100 on the exam to make up for it.

So you like the Wheel of Time series? Maybe I will read it, I do like long series sometimes. I read the Otherworld series like 5 times. (4 books about the same length as a Wheel of Time book).

Let's go to the San Diego Comic Con together. Or maybe the one in Philly, it's supposed to be pretty good.

Did I ever tell you that its one of my goals to build a miniature version of The Burrow?

Anyway, I love your list!! And you :)

I like your goals. I am so glad that someone that came out of me has such cool goals.

Rach-
My Wii's not connected to the internet. I'm not sure how to do that. My favorite game is Elebits.
I would love to go to a convention with you! That would make it even more fun.
And a miniature version of the burrow? As the movie version of Ron would say, "That's wicked!!!"

I should make a list of these goals as well, that might be next blog. The nice thing is I have until 2018, so we'll see...

(i will probably leave the getting married one out though, waste of money waste of time!)

Good luck on your goals...

Noah says you can come home and kill the centepedes in our basement.

Sarah said...

Haha, yeah. I figured if I never got up the guts to kill one here, I could kill one there and it would still count. (Sortof.) Your House Centipedes are definitely less intimidating than the Hawaii variety, although the sheer number of them in that basement is still terrifying. And House Centipedes do bite, apparently, from what I've read.

This site has a neat system for reading through the Bible in a year. You tell it when you want to start, and you can check off readings when you're done with them. If you like "systems", it's cool.
