Awesome quotes Yvonne.

Cleaning my room felt so nice! I can't believe how much "stuff" I just have. My room feels so much lighter and cleaner now; I'm sure all the junk I cleared away was carrying tons of muck. I tossed a lot of old papers, took out some old books from my bookshelves, took down a poster that I realized I didn't actually want or need up on my wall anymore, and generally just cleaned/tossed a lot of stuff in my living area. I took some before and after pics, and boy can you feel the difference. Check it out.

Before: 1 2 3

After! - 1 2 3

Yay! I'm really excited that we're all doing this challenge together and growing through this process. It's really exciting to start making these changes!

ok, so after a really nice conversation with Luufie, we've initiated a new challenge for myself, which really does go along with my last challenge.

This one: dress up, wear make up, look good!

pics to follow...

we were thinking 20s look, real classic.

I'm going to work on this, post the proof soon.

Gave myself the challenge of getting off me bum and going to the pet store to hold the snakes I'm interested in getting next year. I didn't end up getting a picture of me holding the snake, but I took one of it in its cage. Pic here: [ pic ]

My next challenge is from Kaiki, and it's to go to a park and play with a dog there. I'm not sure where the parks are in town, but maybe I'll try a beach if I can't find a park.

I have seperated my clothes into two groups...colours, and black/dark stuff. I will then wear only the coloured clothing for the next few weeks.

and the shoes.

So far I have butterfly politics, which is mostly arguing about who gets to grow/eat which plant, etc.
There also seems to be a civil war brewing - what with the moths feeling they're repressed and shunned and all.

This is funny, to me. Mostly because I usually want a plot, and people, and usefulness, and romance. However, this one came to me as I was making my bed. I've been making up silly conversations between my imaginary butterfly population ever since.

Mari, if you've read Watership Down or see Ants, you should know that hefty plots can hide in unassuming places. Keep writing!

Tato, I LOVE your red sneakes!!! i really do! i've always wanted red sneakers. you're inspiring me to do something fun and crazy.

Do you remember silly hat thing?

(my classmate and I)


I think this hat is more silly than previous one.
today I put something like that on my head and walk at university. Some people were shocked, some were waving to me from cars windows and shouting something. In tram I've lost one of butterflies (blue one) but I still have this yellow butterfly
During lectures one of teacher were talking to me and my that through microphone. We had short talk about polish mountains, summer. holidays etc. I also took photo of me and one of teachers XD

Done more in the spirit of the challenge than specific challenge related things recently, though I do have 1 again ... plus some other things.

Sunday: called my dad, to discuss changing schedules (when I'll be with which parent) - it's been the same for years

Monday (yesterday): wore boxers, were more comfortable than I expected (yeah, random one, but still something different)

Tuesday (today): early morning talking to Katt about some of her anger/fear, she wanted to go into one we'd gone over at least a few times already to which she always gives the same reply -- I said no, would have been a waste of my energy to go through that mess again when she hasn't changed her mind yet

I can finally say that I finished cleaning. To be honest, there's still more that could be done, but for now it can be called done. ( I also really want a post, and want a new challenge) My organization is kinda weird. ^^;;

Before (Oh lordy ;-; ): (1), (2), (3), and (4)

I threw away so much stuff, I can safely say that all my clothes can come with me to my new school in August. I also feel like I just killed someone on the inside. I was so dreading it, but I knew I was going to throw some precious things away--literally, in the garbage... >_<;; so there's a feeling of lost and possibly resentment, definitely a lot of anxiety and fear of going on without these materialistic things...

And thus the after: (1), (2), (3), and (4)

I feel nicer in here now, and I amazed myself with how much stuff I thrown out. Both of our trashcans are nearly full, with trash day being last Friday. I'll be doing some remodeling in here and replacing some furniture, so I hope. Makes me wonder if I honestly want to put in that kind of effort cause I'm not going to be here for much longer. o-o;
