All the things you always meant to

Within 7 days (last weekend through this one), I will be able to check 6 items off of my list of "Things I've been meaning to do."

1) Camping. This will be the first of many trips for me in my adulthood. Western Pennsylvania is fakely wild and is a great place to "starter" camps, which is fine by me because I'm mostly here for the food.

2) The Renaissance Festival. My friend and I made half-baked plans to work there next year as character actors-- which will probably never happen.

3)Roller Skating. The first step towards roller derby. I went last Saturday and we are going again this weekend

4) Rock Climbing. This was so much fun! I did this tonight with a co-worker and his roommate who are fairly experienced. I'm probably going to pay for this tomorrow when I can't lift my arms. The Climbing Wall, by the East End Food Co-Op, was a really nice place with a lot of options for beginners. So fun!

5)24 Hour Comic Book Day. I have cleared my calendar to make this happen this year because it never seems to work out. I am going to start at 8am instead of 10am on Saturday just because I want to spend some time out of my house.

6)Apple Picking. We are going to an orchard to pick apples and pumpkins! It's Fall!

I feel like striking out on my own has helped me to turn over a new leaf. Though I feel silly about waiting so long to do these things, I'm glad that they are happening now.
