Napalm Blankets (The Summer To-Do List).

I like lists. They help me keep things in order.
Though my lists are rarely in any specific order and can be completed in any manner.

1. Read as many books as possible.
(Definitely the one I have to finish before going off to Hampshire and preferably more Chuck Palahniuk books, since Haunted was so wonderful in my opinion. I would like to re-read The Inferno and finish War and Peace but those aren’t musts at this point)

2. Get a summer job/internship/volunteer position.
(Because I’m already bored beyond belief sitting here in my room and I need something else to do for the month of July. It’s impossible to do anything without money and money is definitely not something I am in possession of. I can’t even spend the day at the library without bus fare. At this point, I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a McDonald’s job. I should be so lucky.)

3. Work on my novel.
(Yes, I have the bare bones of a novel and it’s decent, premise wise, but there are parts of it that need to be completely overhauled and parts that need to be added and I’m sure there are parts that need to be cremated.)

4. Retrieve my artistic talent.
(Because it seems to me that I lost it. I haven’t drawn anything decent in about a week, maybe two weeks and I haven’t written anything of note in months.)

5. Write a handwritten letter to someone.
(I have an idea of who but I don’t think I have the moxie so if not that person, than someone else will probably receive a handwritten letter from me. I think actually writing things is a lost art and it’ll help keep my handwriting is readable condition.)

6. Lose weight.
(Isn’t this one everyone’s to-do list? But I am seriously overweight and pretty disgusting in my opinion, so it would be nice to not look, you know, so awful.)

7. Get some self-esteem.
(I have no hope for this last one, but whatever. Might as well put it on here to remind myself that self-esteem or at least a smidgen is needed to function.)
