What You Been Doing?

I can cross things off my list. It's been awhile.

7. Buy an original piece of art.
Done like dinner! I am the proud owner of an Elaine Amyot original, which I've proudly hung on my living room wall. I love, love, love, this painting! I have coveted it for a long time, many years, so I'm psyched to finally own it.

9. Become involved in drama, either theatre or film production, on a regular basis. (i.e. like join the film co-op or get into a theatre club, etc.)
I'm crossing this off. Why? Because I'm in rehearsals for a play right now. And I'm currently working on a script . . . and yes, I believe I've caught the bug.

13. Hang things in your apartment, from the ceiling and on the walls.
I've had things hanging for quite awhile now actually. You'd swear I had a home. But I didn't want to cross it off until I hung the lamp . . . but I don't know if I'm ever going to hang the lamp, so off it goes! I have all kinds of pics and things, art, calendars, etc. I'm good.

19. Fall in love.
And they said it couldn't be done . . . okay, so I actually fell in freaking love! How crazy is that?! It was intense and neurotic and completely different from anything else I've ever done. The relationship didn't work out, but I think it served its purpose, which was to prove to myself that I've truly evolved and matured and I'm ready for the big emotional stuff. So, yay me! I am an enlightened human being.

33. Obtain a good camera and take more photos.
Have camera. Occasionally take pics. Certainly more than when I had no camera at all :-)

74. Put up a Christmas tree and decorate your place for the holiday.
I totally did this last Christmas! Purchased a tree, decorations, the works! Did it up right. It was really nice.

89. Do a fasting cleanse.
Okay, it wasn't a "fasting" cleanse, but when I wrote the thing I didn't really have an understanding of what I wanted to do, just knew I wanted to cleanse and that sometimes that involved fasting. But after research I found the Brown Rice Detox, which is so much better than fasting. So I did it once already and I'm planning to do it again. Either before or after I go to Toronto next month.

#36 Crossed off

Originally it read, "See a play at Live Bait." But that never happened and now it likely won't ever happen. However, when amended to simply read, "See a play." I can totally cross it off because I saw the Whooper Spring Players Christmas production and I saw the Garnett & Gold Society's production of The Wizard of Oz in Sackville. In Miramichi though, I'll also be able to see the TNB touring productions at the James M. Hill high school theatre. That might be a lot of fun.

Ch-Ch-Changes

Okay, so I moved and some of my 101 are no longer possible as a result. So I amended the list. SHoot me! Here's where we stand:

9. Become involved in drama, either theatre or film production, on a regular basis. (i.e. like join the film co-op or get into a theatre club, etc.)

This is something I've been thinking on for a long time. It's time to take some action.

37. Create something new to workshop with writers every month.

Being back on the river puts me in contact with my old writing group of peers. And we're going to start meeting again regularly. And I need to get on the ball and start producing some new stuff!!

61. Walk to French Fort Cove for a day of writing.

Originally, this was the hike to Silver Lake. French Fort Cove is much closer to me here than that was in Sackville. Still, it's far enough that I might be daunted. And it would be good for me.

66. Attend at least two of the Miramichi's many summer festivals.

Cuz I'm here and I haven't done any of this stuff. Sometimes you need to be the tourist in your own backyard.
