New Leaves and Pet Peeves

I’m sure we’ve all had our phases where we feel that our life is inanely boring and wish something exciting would happen, am I right?
Being in one of those phases lately myself, I realised that I could either sit around and wait for something to happen, or I could go out there and make it happen myself.
Fuelled by this idea, I accepted challenges laid down to me by my flatmates. Nothing major, mind, just doing things that I would not have considered before.
Following one success, I was excited to set myself challenges and goals. I figure, if I can constantly have my mind focused on something I want to do, something I should do, or something I wish I could do but have always been to scared to, I’ll never be bored.
So it is with this new interest in trying new things that I have made a decision: from now until the end of December this year, I am going to lay down a list of things that I have never done, and all that are completely possible. On January 1st next year, I’ll review the list and see how much I have (or haven’t) achieved.
This could get interesting. Now all I need to figure out what my challenges are…

Oh and before I forget: Knackers shouting at strangers on the bus. Is this really necessary?
Strangers trying to talk to you at the bus stop. iPod firmly in ears, book in hand. A welcoming gesture? I think not. Please leave me and my wonderfully cheesy 80s music be, thanks.
