Archive for the ‘Challenges’ CategoryThis is my dreamSaturday, February 13th, 2010 click for source I wish I could draw this well – it is now a goal of mine to improve drastically in the next year. Which means I will probably be updating my DeviantArt account (which today I purchased a 12 month subscription) considerably more often. Please check it out, and leave comments – I like hearing from you all ♥ Day 10Tuesday, January 19th, 2010 010/365 Truly, I have no idea how I’m going to get to 365 photos of me without boring you all to tears – I need to get to the drawing board and perhaps come up with a few prompts or ideas (suggestions are welcome!) but that is a lot of photos of a very boring subject! A friend was recently complaining that I never smile in photos, so I thought I’d try and take an okay one for their benefit – and anyone else who wishes I would smile more! I was happy today though, as we’re still in a cold snap in the middle of Summer. It’s about to end though – this weekend the temperature is expected to be in the mid-high 30’s again (that’s celcius). I’m really looking forward to next Winter – I can’t wait! This year I’d like to go to the snow, it’s been years since I went! Hope you’re all well ♥ xx Days 5 to 9Tuesday, January 19th, 2010 005/365
Oh the joys of lacking motivation, a broken blog, and laziness. These are the reasons I hadn’t uploaded them yet – sorry! Day 4Wednesday, January 13th, 2010 004/365 There are no words for how I was feeling when I took this yesterday. I had been so uptight and anxious, and I kept getting a blood nose and really bad headaches – it was just not nice. Day late in uploading, but I was too busy trying to sort things out with shuffling my blog along. I decided that while wordpress has it’s advantages, I don’t want to buy hosting again, I’ll just keep my domain name and use it over here at blogger. (It’s all right – my url is still http://www.lolitajaynescarlet.com) Fingers crossed that today is a better day ♥ Day 3Tuesday, January 12th, 2010 003/365 My head is off in the clouds right now – I’ll be back to Earth later! Oh, and I can’t believe I’m up to day three already! Wow – I have to admit, that for me, this is dedication ♥ The words are lyrics from Within Temptation’s song, Angels. Hope you’re all having a wonderful day lovelies! xx Day 2Monday, January 11th, 2010 002/365 I hate it when I feel down and can’t seem to pick myself up again. I think that I’m coming up again, when something else hits me and I feel sad all over again. Today is just one of those days. “You’re my star girl. ♥ me ★”
Once upon a time, I would go through several notebooks a year – I would sit there and just write random things onto the pages, or pass it along to a friend so that they could write me a letter, so I could look back on it at a later date. Sometimes we would even have conversations in there. One friend declared me incapable of proper human social interaction – I could only converse through the means of my notebooks. I dug some of them out today and was reading them. Some of it was lovely – but some of it was equally horrid. I was such a bad friend to my best friend, I certainly never deserved their friendship. They opened up so much, and I never saw it until now, when it was too late and I’d hurt them. One of my resolutions for the new year was to rebuild bridges that I have burned – I hope that it is possible. xx Day 1Sunday, January 10th, 2010 This year I will do the 365 project, so sadly for all of you… you may need to get used to seeing me! Hope you’re all well ♥ It’s only two weeks away!Friday, December 18th, 2009 2009 has been the worst year of my life so far – isn’t it odd how refreshing a new year is? Why, when we cross the line into a new year, do we suddenly feel like we have a new chance at a fresh start? Or is that just me? I’m really looking forward to 2010 – I just have a really good feeling about it. For a start, I’ll be starting my attempt at 200 goals in 10 years, I’ll also be starting the year in the company of my wonderful and amazing friends, and for the first time in years, next year I will be working full time. It’s daunting, but truly – I’m looking forward to 2010. I have a really good feeling about it – and for the first time in years – I’m not saying that to try and give myself some hope. The feeling is genuine – it’s going to be a good year ♥ I bought the latest issue of Frankie Magazine today. I haven’t finished reading it, but I’m enjoying it thoroughly – I’ve never read a Frankie magazine before, and I’m really grateful to the other bloggers who read it and I’ve seen them mention it in their blogs. It’s difficult to find (at least as far out of the city as I am, anyway) so without seeing it’s mention throughout your beautiful blogs, I would never have known it existed. Thank you ♥ I hope you all have a lovely weekend! It’s work for me, but I’m getting so excited because I’m going on holiday for a few weeks after Christmas. I’ll still be about if it’s possible, but I will be back if I can’t get the internet where I am. So now an explanation is dueTuesday, December 8th, 2009 So, I get the feeling some of you are scratching your heads right now and asking yourselves “Am I going insane, or did she just say that she was setting herself 200 goals?”. My friend Nick replied to my tweet about my new post with: “Goal 200: Stop spreading yourself too thin and focus on 2-3 things you absolutely love I’m lazy and lack direction. 200 Goals for 10 YearsTuesday, December 8th, 2009Somewhere out there, there is a meme for 100 goals in 3 years – some of my goals are so enormous though, that I decided to forget the tradition of the meme, and set my own list of ridiculous goals with a ridiculous timeline to fulfill them in. I hope you’ll all cheer for me, and remind me of this article by Ashley Lebedev about how to beat creative block when I get stuck and stumble. As you may be able to tell, there are still plenty of goals for me to come up with – if you have any suggestions, please let me know. I figure though, that as the years roll by, I will probably have new ideas and goals that I will want to set myself anyway. To start with though, I do at least have over 100 goals – it’s a nice feeling. Achieving them will make me feel like I’m being productive! I’ll strike them out as I achieve them starting from the 1st of January 2010, and I’ll add more as I think of them! ^-^ “Set Your Goals High Enough To Inspire You And Low Enough To Encourage You.” -Author Unknown
EDIT: Sorry to have put this here, I hope my list makes you roll your eyes and laugh at my insanity. xx “Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.” – Louisa May Alcott

” so I now feel the need to explain the method in my madness. It’s not that much of a big deal really – but here is a little something about me you should probably know, in case you hadn’t already figured it out:
