| So, for some of us, it’s summertime, others, almost-but-not-quite summertime, when you’re sick to death of homework, revision and all those other things that teachers make you do (it’s called learning, apparently it’s important?) Despite all the fun stuff you’ve probably mentally planned for the summer (unless you like to make lists farr in advance, but that’s more a day-to-day post-it thing, I find), if you’re anything like me, you’ll forget pretty much all of those cool things you were going to do until September 15th, or whenever the first day of school is. It’s especially frustrating when you look back at your holiday and think, “What the heck have I done with my summer? I was bored most of it, so I just… sat and watched reruns of Scrubs in a dark room for 90% of the time. With the CB on my lap”. Well, dunno about you, but that sucks, in my opinion. Of course, the CB is luffly, but who wants to sit and watch Scrubs for 9 hours a day? It’s not /that/ good. What this rather long-winded introduction* is trying to say is, do something exciting with your summer. Or if you don’t get summer, all your weekends. X) The best way of finding stuff to do, I find, is reading other people’s lists of things they want to do, then nicking ideas. Ahem, sharing. This calls for some list-making, and if mine’s the only one on this thread by the end of the week/month, then I will A) be sad B) assume you’ve all just sat and watched Scrubs/BBT/Avatar for 9 hours a day. *I blame the fact that nobody’s on the CB tonight, because everyone’s off on some sort of holiday. And it’s just rained all day, and I’ve not been out. Rogue’s list for the summer: 1. Make rainbow cake- 2013 completed! Tastes like unicorn poop 2. Actually finish some roleplays, so I can take on new ones HELL YEAHHHHH BABY 3. Frost plushie!!!!!! 4. Bonfire on the beach 5. Go to the carnival 6. Get a job (ohyay) 7. Finish writing novel stuff 8. Edit novel stuff 9. Read a bazillion books 10. Randomly take off and go backpacking for a week --lolnothappenin' 11. Mess with CSS 12. Arty things :3 13. Go to the zoo --Happening on wednesday! 14. Londonnnnn 15. Spriting --Halfway there, yes! 16. Bios (lol) --Done 2 fabulously, to the max, but I think everyone actually has one now! 17. Swim in the seaaaa 18. Make more books 19. Make that guinea pig plushie I’ve had for years 20. Make beady bracelets, cos they’re preeeetty 21. Climb trees 22. Make a den 23. Make a ZORRO cosplay 24. Watch some legit cool films 25. Origami cranes origami cranes origami cranesssss 26. Mess with Sculpy 27. Make some bunting 28. Make a Dr Who scarf (any season is Dr Who season) 29. Watch all those cartoons I’m halfway through 30. Paint over my fugly GSCE artwork with good stuff (tree branches do not look like trees) 31. Persuade other people to reply to this thread pl0x <3 32. Celebrate my DC birthday in style.

| Well, I'm putting off useful stuff, so I may as well do this!
EDITED TO ADD: So, with just under two weeks left (noooo) of my summer, I did a quick review to see how much of the stuff on my list I actually did. I have completed/made some progress in 11 of my tasks... I guess that's okay? Anyway, I think some things I will endeavour to do anyway, such as TOOTHLESS YES
1. Plot and sort out my stuff so I can novel in August November- STILL DO THIS 2. Try to improve my handwriting?- Yeahhh, knew that wasn't happening 3. Try not to convince myself 2 is futile- Well, I knew all along that it was 4. Get caught up on replies, COMPLETELY- I WILL I SWEAR I'M BETTER IN THE LAST TWO DAYS 5. Cuddly Toothless!- DO THIS STILL 6. Cook or something... eat ice cream!- DONE BUT MORE MAYBE 7. Try to find somewhere to buy pistachio ice cream <3- DONE 8. Do some serious digital art and maybe even learn some anatomy or something so my drawings look feasible- A LITTLE BIT DONE BUT MORE PLEASE 9. Prove Eldar wrong- I admit it, there was no number 9... the deception is too hard to keep up 10. CAN YOU MAKE AN ORIGAMI DRAGON?- YES YOU CAN 11. Maybe origami cranes- SORT OF DONE 12. Develop all my chars who need it- Hah, kind of? 13. Korra!!!!- I WANT MOAR KORRA 14. Actually I might make a rainbow cake too... I love rainbows.- I WILL DO THIS ONE DAY 15. Make loads of cool cakes- MORE OF THIS 16. Make a dragon cake- AND THIS 17. Learn to draw horses' legs once and for all (see 8 )- Ehehehe no. 18. Books books books!- YEESSSSS 19. Oh hey, I should go swimming!- I ACTUALLY DID, AND IT RESULTED IN MY FAMILY GETTING A GYM MEMBERSHIP PROBABLY 20. Look at the writing course thingamy Mum has- Whoops. Forgot that one. 21. Meet Rogue!!!! (see 16)- YESSSSSS OMG HOW AWESOME 22. Learn how to play the guitar- Uh, I bought a £20 one for a reason... 23. Sort out all my guide badge stuff- films, surrey challenge, and BP- Dammit I really should. 24. Clean my room- not tidy it, clean it, cobwebs and all 25. Sort out all the crap at the bottom of my wardrobe 26. Make a DC BOOK!!! 27. Extend this list...?- Still doing that as I go! Maybe add a number 9 and learn how to make a proper list with all the numbers? muahahahaha - hijacked by Eldar ^-^There is a number 9... Honestly, can't you count?
