Goals

So, today I decided to set a new list of goals for myself.

Why? Because the old set of goals I already accomplished.

So here I go.

1. Get my Nikon D3000 camera for Christmas.

2. Finish Season 3 of Lost before Christmas.

3. Get only A's and B's in school.

4. Save all the money my father gives me for lunch instead of spending it on lunch.

5. Become a better Christian, because I miss God.

6. Work harder on my craft.

7. Take more pictures.

8. Wear my glasses ALL the time.

9. Set priorities straight.

10. Be more observant of people, things, and places around me.

11. Don't drink soda.

12. Don't bully others mentally (basically don't talk behind people's backs).

13. Ride my bike more often instead of getting on Facebook on weekends.

And done. :)

The 25 things.

The 25 things.

1-I sometimes have writing urges,if you will, which means I'll come up with an amazing essay or poem, but the amazingness will only last a day. The next day i'll try to write a poem and it won't live up to the one I wrote yesterday.

2-I hate it when people on facebook put an intense dramatic status. Example: "You've taken this too far. Now there's no going back." They just want attention. It gets annoying. And out of the 500 friends you may have, 3 or 4 care or KNOW what you're talking about.

3-I confirm plans(even ones I make), but I only occasionally go through with them.

4-Just knowing that I have family somewhere far that loves me is enough to keep me going.

5-When people want my attention, the worse thing they can do is poke my shoulder over and over. It's my biggest pet peeve.

6-Before I put movies on my Netflix list, I make sure it's recommended by someone I know, or there are really great reviews on it.

7-When I was younger I would organize my crayons by color in my crayon box. But it was pointless because once I put my crayon box into my bookbag it would get messed up again.

8-I repeat the word "really" if someone does something really immature. Like if you're spitting on my face I'll say; "Really? ..really?".

9-I think of myself as a pretty simple person.

10-One of my favorite things to do is bike in the rain.

11-I leave post-it notes all around my room to remind me of things I have to do. They're everywhere.

12-At the age of 9, my dad promised me a tree house, after a lot of begging. It's been 8 years and he still hasn't built me it.

13-I wish I had the same hunger for knowledge as I did when I was in elementary school.

14-Most of the books on my bookshelf I started reading and never finished.

15-If you put my iPod on shuffle, you'd find really popular songs, and then songs no one would even think of putting on their iPod, like t.v. theme songs from my childhood, or Disney World music that you hear when you're IN the park.

16-I never forget that I owe people money. Every time I see them, it's the first thing I remember.

17-Awkward silences are probably the worst thing ever. I never know what to do in them. And even starting a conversation up, the conversation becomes awkward.

18-A raccoon ate my bird when I was 6 years old.

19-If you can make me laugh, you can definitely be my friend. hah

20-Trips are the best. A trip anywhere outside of Miami already makes me 10 times happier.

21-I only speak Portuguese at home, so during the summer when I get together with friends and I have to speak English, my tongue feels really weird, and I search for the translation in my head first. I even have a little bit of a portuguese accent.

22-I'm horrible with names, but great with faces. I've had friends that I didn't know how to call them because I couldn't remember their names.

23-If I crack the fingers in one hand, I feel tempted to finish the job and crack the other 5 on the other hand.

24-When I go to restaurants, I always pick the table farthest away from anyone else, and sit in the seat facing towards the least people. I hate strangers watching me, especially if I know it'll be for more than half an hour.

25-If I know everything is not lined up in my living room, like the couch,rug, or t.v., I can't watch a movie until I line it all up with the tiles on the floor.

26-I'm done.
