From this point forward

Alrighty, here's the deal. For the last month--actually its been much longer than a month, probably more like months, maybe even years-- I have been thinking this one particular thought in my mind: Katherine, stop thinking so much about everything and just do it!

But do I ever "just do it", of course not. Why? Because I probably think a lot more than I should about things. I will always be the voice of reason, and I will always be waaay too responsible for my own good. Actually, let me say it this way; there is nothing wrong with being responsible and thoughtful about the happenings of my life, but I do think that it stops me from attaining and enjoying the simple things most 20-somethings should experience.

One night not too long ago it hit me: get others involved, have them read along with what I want to do, have them push me to do the things I have always wanted--even if you don't necessarily agree ( for instance, my tattoo idea :-), use the blog!

I have had a blog off and on for the last year, and I love it. However, every now and then I lose sight of what it is I am trying to accomplish, I get bogged down with other nuances of life, and shy away from writing what I am thinking. It shall be this way no longer! I will write, I will post, and I will achieve my goals in life--as simple and insignificant as they may seem.

The criteria for which to accomplish these I have not yet decided, or if there should even be criteria. I will figure that out all in good time :-) Until then, these are some of the things I want to accomplish--they are simple, but nonetheless things that I want to do.

1. Read a book other than a college textbook--something I have truly missed since I have been a college student
2. Get a tattoo :-)
3. Document my life in pictures for a whole month
4. Ride a motorcycle--something my high school friend has convinced me I should do
5. Dye my hair--done it before, but feel I need another change

So, from this point forward you, my lovely readers, will see and read as I make myself more adventurous.

Ciao!
