Today marks the completion of my Internship & the start of my first year as an official DCE! So, in light of this momentous occasion, I made a list of things I want to accomplish (or attempt) this next year!
1. See the following: Yosemite, Mammoth, & Seattle.
Not in that exact order, but these are the places I want to check out before next August. Two of them are local, so it shouldn't be a problem. . . right?
2. Learn how to play the Bass Guitar.
Thanks to Steve in the praise band, I'm almost there. I just need a little bit more practice.
3. Read more.
I have a "list" (more like a pile!) of books I want to read, I just never get around to actually doing it! The list includes classics like "Jane Eyre" & "Confessions of a Shopaholic" :)
4. Get a bike & learn how to ride it in the wilderness.
No, I don't own a bike. Yes, I know how to ride one. I've never been mountain biking before. It looks like so much fun, but I've always been a little intimidated. I want to kick Fear in the face & prove to myself I'm not a wuss & can do it!
5. Learn How to Date.
I want to master the first date like nobody's business. I've been going out on them a lot recently & I'm absolutely terrible! Do you think they have coaches for this sort of thing?

On dating: you will be terrible as long as you say you are terrible. I'm not trying to bash you, but change your mindset just a few steps in the other direction. When out on a date, don't worry about if the other person is having a good time. Only worry about if you are having a good time. Thoughts are contagious and if you are nervous or tripping over yourself, your date will probably pick up on it and be nervous too. On the other hand, if you are having a great time, your date probably will too. Be selfish to an extent. If asked what you want to do, do not reply "I don't know, what do you want to do?" say what you want to do and then roll with it.
Haha! That's an awesome suggestion! Thanks for the tip. I'm pretty sure it will all come with practice, but the more positive I am, the better the date, eh?
Pretty much. Talk to other people that you know. I'm pretty sure that it will be hard to find an example of one person having a great time and the other person bored out of their mind. As humans, we normally don't work like that. If you are on a date, that means that the other person, in theory, wants you to have a good time, otherwise why did they agree to go on a date with your, right? In their brain, they are trying to make that happen. If you act nervous or pessimistic, you are going contrary to what they want so they will try to fix things and that is when people start tripping over each other. By being selfish and making sure you have a great time, you are giving your date what he wants and that should lead to your date having a great time. Making sense?
That totally makes sense...
Who is this anyways? Do I know you personally?
For some reason, I assummed that you would be able to click my name and know who I was.
I now rather like that I'm anonymous.
I will say that we have seen each other around and we have engaged in conversations.
Haha! Um, that's not very descriptive, especially since I'm very social...
I like the clues, though. It's a fun game! A man of mystery...very nice.
Do you go to my church?
