My Summer List
Written Jun 25, 12:01 PM by GearóidFirst of all, let me apologise for not posting a blog in a long time. I’m quite unreliable at remembering passwords, as the other Fake Dog men will attest to. However, I am quite good at manipulating Fake Dog’s databases and now I have a new password! Though I did need two separate and confusing passwords before I got to that point. I don’t know how I come up with them!
Anyway, onto the purpose of this post. It’s a long summer without a job, apart from freelance web design. We’ll see how that goes, but in the meantime I need to keep myself occupied. I realised this quite a while ago, over a month before my summer holidays even began. I decided I needed a list of things to do over the summer, and remembered 43things, a site which I registered on over two years ago and never really used. I quite liked the idea of being able to post a list and then keep each one updated with entries, as well as people cheering me on (literally).
So I set about filling up my list with everything I could think of. The first goal, before any other goal was even put up, was to do all my things before the end of the summer. Over the next month the list started to fill up until I had the maximum 43 things which the site allows. I quite like this arbitrary number, as it seems like just the right amount of goals.
So now, with 74 days left in the summer, I’ve done 8 things and have 35 more to do. Some things take a lot longer than others, like painting and cleaning my room. Then some are quite simple, like making a Bebo skin. But they’re all things I want to do over the summer! I’m currently in the process of completing goal number 16, watch the first series of Jericho. Though the numbering changes as I complete goals, I have a copy of the original list with all the goals’ corresponding numbers.
Anyway, that’s enough explaining, you might as well just go check out the list and see what it’s all about. And I’m not the only one doing it either, be sure to check out Stephen’s and David’s too!

I dodn’t actually realise there was a website called 43things, I thought it was just a random number you came up with.
