Status: 60 percent done!
Just a quick update to mention that in addition to Free Willy, I've now re-watched Madeline, and my favourite Disney movie - Aladdin.
The movie "Madeline" is the reason I pretended to live in Paris from the age range of 6-9, and in turn, the reason my parents had me psychologically evaluated. Once again, I got a little emotional when they got to keep their school. They deserved it, those courageous but darling French girls.
I'm proud to say, however, that I did NOT cry at Aladdin. I'm not such a wuss.

Number 88: Vote in the SU Elections
Status: Complete (My first actual completion!)
Priding myself as a democratically active citizen.....I strolled to my nearest campus voting booth, completely uninformed, to vote for my faculty's student union representative. My pick wasn't entirely random, though, I voted for the guy that had superior references.
On one of his posters: "I'd vote for this guy if I wasn't fictional." - Indiana Jones.
If he's good enough for Indiana Jones..........

Number 24: Do not skip any classes for the next two months, unless I happen to be on my deathbed.
Status: Failed.
Whoops! Alright, so I wasn't exactly on my "deathbed". But I wasn't finished my tea, and was right in the middle of Aladdin during the "A Whole New World" song, can you really blame me for tucking myself back into bed rather than trudge to American Politics? While I like a good "Dick Cheney shot a guy in the face" joke as much as the next political satirist, we're not learning anything new from this. Therefore, it was a more effective use of my time to finish my pomegranate green tea and watch Aladdin's lie unfold.
I'll try this again next semester.

Number 87: Watch 5 Movies from my Childhood
Status: Off to the races.
Free Willy - check!
And yes, I teared up when the big lug was finally liberated.
I may need some suggestions for this one. Anything but Jurassic Park as it gave me nightmares for months when I was 6.

Number 62: Do not swear for one whole week - Third time's a charm!
Status: Seemingly impossible.
New end date: Sunday September 30th, at 8 pm.
1001 days are going to fly by!

Number 86: Be sticky sweet to Matt for one whole week.
Status: In progress starting Sunday September 23 at 4:30pm.
Since certain overly-sensitive individuals take such statements as, "I'm not going to come home at night because I'll be out hooking up with other men" completely the wrong way, I've undertaken this simple endeavor (which was requested of me, by the way).
For the next 7 days it will be nothing but mushy heartwarming loveliness from this girl, all because a specific person considers being called a "dirty hippie" an insult, for some reason, when I was clearly just commenting that Matt's high regard for the environment is "above reproach".
So here goes! This'll be a piece of cake for the next few hours.......until he wakes up.

Number 62: Do not swear for one whole week - do over!
Status: fucked up.
Goddamn! This is hard! A full day and a half's worth of effort was lost yesterday when I slipped a forbidden word out in a conversation with the wrong person. While I still hold that I was referring to Matt's female dog, I'll play fair and start over.
I now am clean-mouthed until Sunday, September 30, at 4pm.
And as an added caveat, this restriction does not impose upon my thoughts. If you want someone to think about something, tell them not to, and that'll do the trick! I'm being realistic here!
