I am a terrible person. (and friend).

The title explains it all. And I'm not even going to give excuses this time.

Now begins the beginning of my long thread of recaps on the tasks that I should have blogged about days and days ago if I was a better person. (and friend).

Okay. Here goes nothing.

Day 48: First Impressions

I was supposed to hand the book to someone and have them write their first impression of me. I had many good opportunities to do that on that particular day because I was selling ads for yearbook but everyone kept turning me down and then I was afraid that it was because I was a bad salesperson or I smelled or something and I really didn't want them to write that down because I was already depressed from hearing "no" all day. So I was a wimp and didn't do it.

Day 49: Citizen's Arrest

We were supposed to do a citizen's arrest. I forgot my book at home that day and didn't go anywhere after shcool so I didn't do it. I suck.

Day 50: Make People Notice You

Somehow we were supposed to make people notice us that day. I stuck a piece of paper on my backpack that said "BIRTHDAY GIRL" on it like someone had stuck it on my backpack and I hadn't noticed it (I disguised my handwriting) and I was expecting random people in the hall to wish me happy birthday, but no one did and I realized it was because it fell off my backpack sometime between first and second period...but I didn't want to write another one because that would have looked stupid.

Day 51: Blind Day

This day we had to pretend to be blind. Obviously this would not work while driving or while at school. So I just did it for a little bit at home with a bandana tied around my eyes, and it was really hard but not as hard as I thought to navigate around my house. I know my house better than I thought. But I ended up having to take it off for homework. It would really suck to be blind.

Day 52: The Meaning of Life

We were supposed to look up the meaning of life. I looked it up on dictionary.com and the first definition was: "the condition that distinguishes organisms from inorganic objects and dead organisms, being manifested by growth through metabolism, reproduction, and the power of adaptation to environment through changes originating internally." But I hated that one so I looked it up on urbandictionary.com. My favorite: "what ever you perceive it to be. you can change it." It made me realize that I should quit my job.

Day 53: Return All Your Junkmail

Stupid colleges that I would never go to in a million years now just a received a little taste of their own medicine.

Day 54: Count Your Farts

Sadly, I forgot the number of farts I had. I think it was like 3...I wrote it down somewhere but I lost the post-it note. I'm not a very gaseous person. I'll have to re-do this task.

Day 55: Flip the Perfect Pancake Day

No pancake mix = no perfect pancake. Preparation is something I should think about sometimes...

Day 56: Rock 'n' Roll Day

This day we were supposed to live life like (whoahhhhh...those words are all exactly the same except for one letter) a rock star. I don't remember exactly what I did... I mean, I didn't tease my hair into the 80s rocker-do, or "be great like Elvis, without the tassles" (100 points for whoever can guess what that's from) but I remember that I was thinking about something that day, like if I should say something to a cute boy or something, and I was like, "Wait a minute. I'm a rock star. I can do whatever the freak I want." It was nice.

Day 57: Try Food That Scares You

I really intended on going to the grocery store that day and picking out something utterly disgusting, but....I ate asparagus instead. Which might not seem that daring, but the last time (and only time) I've had it I was like seven, and I gagged. This time I didn't gag (which made me happy because I know I've grown in my tastes) but I still didn't like it. Ew.

Day 58: Decide What Skills to Pass On to Your Family

I decided to pass on my empathy, sense of humor, and conscious. My empathy because I think it has really helped me to understand people and even though it can hinder me in some situations because I over-analyze everything, I really do think it has helped me more than hurt me. I really think about what I do and say before I do it. My sense of humor because it's kind of weird, and if my children have the same sense of humor as me then I can laugh with them at weird things that no one else finds funny. And then my conscious because I really want my kids to have a good head on their shoulders and not just follow to crowd. Non-conformists 4eva.

Okay, now I will update on today's task and get back to you on the rest later because I have midterms to study for.

Day 69: Downsizing Day

Today we were supposed to decide to cut down on our spending. I decided that I should definitely spend less on Port City Java. I got there way too much and even though it is freaking DELICIOUS...it's fattening and expensive.

AHHHH...the end. (for now).
