Ugh. This is the most freaking annoying thing ever. My keyboard goes at the rate of abut 1 mph while my fingers are going like 65 gwam (I think that's what it is measured in) so it's lagging REALLY bad and I will finish typing and have to wait for about 5 seconds to see all my words slowly pop up...then go back and fix typos. I hate it. So, the point is, my entries might be kind of short and choppy because of my typing problem.
Day 79: Become an Expert on Today
We were supposed to read the entire newspaper front and back to know everything about that day that there was possible. Then we would be an expert on that day. I didn't read the newspaper, I read the BBC online, but to be honest, I don't remember a single thing from it. Ugh.
Day 80: Start to Eat a Piece of Furniture
This day Brittany came into town and surprised me for my 18th birthday! It was awesome. And the first time we had actually done a task together. The task was to start eating a piece of furniture, by shaving off a little of it everyday, so that in 20 years you would have totally digested the entire thing. We decided that eating a piece of furniture in my house would be a bad idea, because, it just would. So, we went out to the garage and picked up saw dust (more like saw flecks and pieces and shards) and eat them on cheese and crackers. We couldn't taste them, but I could definitely feel the, and I got a piece stuck in my tooth and it was weird. At least we had a little fiber in our diet.
Day 81: Celebrate Nature
We were supposed to celebrate nature by luring a fly onto the page in the book and swatting it in a designated square. But Brittany alerted me that it is not fly season, so it was impossible to even find a fly. Instead we saw Across the Universe (third time for me) and then went to the fair. It was an awesome day.
Day 82: Lotus
This was my birthday, and I had a WONDERFUL day. Really, it was probably one of my favorite birthdays ever. It included eating at one of my favorite restaurants, getting my cartilage pierced, being with the awesomest friends of all time, meeting a racist bonsai-plant man, and buying my first lottery tickets. But anyways, the task for this day was to sit in the lotus position for 30 minutes and just meditate. Brittany and I modified this task a little by shortening our sitting time to 15 minutes because we figured that since we were both doing it together at the same time, it could be counted as 30 minutes if we were added together. So, we sat amidst the messiness of my room, with some relaxing Sigur Ros playing, and mood lighting, and we "meditated" for 15 minutes. It was really relaxing, and I kind of fell halfway asleep but I was still awake because I was aware that I was sitting and everything. My back got REALLY sore though. It just shows how weak my back muscles are because I never sit up straight. But it was really nice though. I think if I did that for just 15 minutes everyday I would be so much more relaxed in general.
Day 83: Call Someone Across the Ocean
We were supposed to call someone across the ocean and wake them up. Although I do know someone across the ocean, Ditte (my Danish exchange student), I really did not feel like waking her up, or spending $50 dollars per minute or however much it is to call internationally.
Day 84: Apple Core
Today we were supposed (I start every task off with that same phrase) to throw away an apple core in a park and mark the spot and come back in 20 years to see our apple tree. To save my gas money and the environment, I chucked the apple core into this abandoned part of my mom's garden. And I didn't eat the apple either...I just cut it because I really don't like plain apples. They make my throat feel weird. So hopefully if a squirrel or dog or something doesn't get it...we'll have an apple tree there in 20 years!
