101 in 1001
I've never been into New Year's resolutions - I don't think I've ever made one, and if I did it was probably something like "become 6 inches taller." This year I decided to create a list of "101 things to do in 1001 days," as better described here.
I'll mark off completed tasks in this entry as I make progress. Right now it's in completely random order, maybe someday I'll organize it into categories but I wouldn't count on it. Without further ado, here's the list!
