projects I’ve abandoned
As someone who is both conscientious and a little bit stubborn, I like to finish the things I start. But what happens when I don’t? Does that mean I’m a quitter? or that I’ve given up?
Those aren’t labels I like to attach to myself in regards to projects I’ve started, so I prefer to use the word “abandoned.” It’s a more positive word that puts me back in control of the project, rather than vice versa. Whether or not it’s entirely accurate, it sounds as though I consciously chose to stop doing a project, rather than that it was a helpless or hopeless situation.
So without further ado, following is a list of Projects I’ve Abandoned:
1. 101 Things in 1001 Days (the 1001st day was last Thursday, but I abandoned it long before that)
2. New Year’s Resolution 2009: watch AFI’s top 25 musicals
3. 15 Things I Plan to Do With My Tax Refund
I was going to add NaBloPoMo to the list… but I guess by posting this, I haven’t abandoned it quite yet.

At the very least, learn to juggle! (5)It’s simple and will dramatically improve the quality of life for you and all those around you. Then write a postcard about it and send that to Postsecret. (6) I’ll be in VA in January. I’ll give you a juggling lesson and you can show me how to whistle loudly sans fingers.(7) I’ll bring you a cricket.(2) You can sell me a handmade card.(22) On eBay.(40) I’ll eat all your food (43) and then you’ll have to fast for a day (47). See how much you could get done in one day?

JDT: I’ve made progress on the juggling, but admittedly it isn’t a top priority these days…
