Dear Me, Myself and I
I know this is going to sound weird that you are writing to yourself, but bear with me… well you… you know what I mean.
This is a list of something you’ll need to be doing via your year (possibly years) off of school. #1 is the most important right now. The list goes as following (please cross off when completed and also in no particular order):
1. GET A JOB! Figure out a percentage later of what to save for college/university.
2. Rearrange Room in a way where I can have a futon/couch and that I can have friends come over and we can socialize. This includes your computer desk.
3. Restock Bar Fridge with personal stash (see #1 for funding)
4. Learn how to ice skate. No more delaying this. You’re scared of ice, I know. But do it. You’ve wanted to know for ages. Even if you try and cannot do it, it counts.
5. Rekindle my love for the stage. Audition. Please, do it Alex, you need to.
6. Find a way to hook up all my video game systems together… and keep them in my room.
7. Master 5 different accents (Standard British ,Italian and German are a must)
8. See my friends as often as I can.
9. Get a new cell phone. (See #1 for funding) – Attempt this before September 30th to get the Virgin Mobile plan.
10. Visit North Bay at least twice.
11. GO TO HARRY POTTER LAND IN FLORIDA!!!!
12. Go to an Anime North (in costume) and maybe Fan Expo (in costume)
13. Lose Weight not through the “Knock Off Jenny Craig” . I can do it if I set my mind to it.
14. Be true to yourself.
15. Limit gaming usage, this is both platform and computer.
16. Write more often. Join back into Kid Crit. I know you wanted to publish a novel. Give it a shot, a serious shot this time.
17. Bake from scratch more often. You gotta do this, cause Cake Mixes personally suck.
18. Make actual meals from scratch.
19. Make Youtube Videos. Do anything. Use what you learned from Kam with FCP 200 and Motion 101. You can do it.
20. Buy a Macbook Pro for travel everyday use. Sorry to say, but you hate 7 laptops at the moment.
21. Buy a good desktop PC for gaming (ask Robbie for advice?)
22. Learn how to build a computer (might be able to combine with 21)
23. Figure out what you want to do with your life. This is priority but with an extended time limit. Take your time Alex, no rushing. You are so used to rushing into things. Just smell the goddamn roses before they wilt forever.
24. Socialize, this one is another biggie. This can come from joining groups, work, anything.
25. Learn Archery. You need something to continue with your hand-eye co-ordination, and computers don’t’ cut it anymore.
26. Establish a better relationship with your family. You love them, they are your family after all.
27. Find a significant other – not too high on your list, but if it happens, it happens.
28. Pratiquer la Francais. Also, learn how to make the letters with accents and any latin character with a Mac.
29. Buy a new Mac Keyboard for your iMac. You need the extended with number pad.
30. Smile. You do have a positive attitude, and I know that life is hard. Facing it with a smile instead of being a mopy idiot does make it a little easier to go on.
31. Try to be a bit more independent. Please. For Mom and Dad’s sake.
32. Do something about that ankle. Strengthen it, fix it. Its fucking you up big-time, and I know you can survive.
33. Learn Italian. Legit this time.
34. Learn Sign Language.
35. Learn to drive. You need it, and you need it now. G1 ASAP, G2 hopefully before next September. (See # 1 for funding)
36. Keep your room clean. Literally. If you can keep it to Mom’s standard for a month, this is going to count as complete.
There, 36 things that you have to do this year. Attack with a positive attitude. You can do it. Add more if you need to.
I love you. Yeah, its weird telling yourself that you love yourself, but you can’t love yourself for you to love others.
You can do it.
Okay?
Good.
See you in the future!
-Alex
