Ground rules and day one

I think i'll start this out with some ground rules/guidelines for what i'll be posting. I really see this as an idea "bank" where I can throw all the ideas I get for everything and have it up so I can remind myself and then work off of them. I really love hearing fantastic and even practical ideas from others I meet and see at lectures. And...since I have a really terrible memory, putting it somewhere semi-permanent is great to look back on. Then some rants/raves/pictures/stories/reviews, you get it. Okay, here I go...

Ideas

*Give someone an anonymous Valentine

*Put out a Missed Connection on Craigslist and wait for a response

*Recreate an artist's lesser known work

*Put positive statements in a basket and leave out for others to take

*Drop a thank-you card under someone's door

*Develop/implement ways to go "greener", like reusing notebook paper and making my own notepads (its really awesome and I've made 4 big stacks already)

*Raise my hand in class and start a discussion

*Review music and share my passion with others.

*Put up an empty list on a wall (with just a header) and see what it gets filled with.

Rants:

• - I'm not an idiot, so I don't like feeling like one.
• -I really don't mean to seem like a bitch if I don't really hang out with you. I just have a lot of shit to do, and watching tv isn't helping me out. Plus, I really need to get an A in art history...yikes.
• -It hasn't snowed yet.

Raves:

• -I've started working out at the gym, and I really really like being active again. It also means I eat more...oy.
• -Going to artist lectures are really cool, its amazing to see living, working artists doing some pretty awesome shit. Can I be you? kthnx.
  
• -Book-buying, music-exploring is SO FUN.
  
• -School is looking better, and even less daunting with my research paper and all the other work I have to do. I'm trying to be positive, because I can only make it as good as I make it. ta-dah!
• I am almost 19. WHAT?! I know, me too.
  
• -It hasn't snowed...yet.
