Wow. My list is long. *adds in bit about not getting overwhelmed* If I achieve 1/3 of this list I will consider it a fantastic year, because most of these things have been on the want to do list for years and I just haven't done them. *raises glass* Here's to an awesome 2011! This list will probably get added to as I remember new goals I'd like to accomplish (or old ones I forgot about).
* means that I would be willing to perform the song in front of others and have (if I can’t find a willing audience there is always YouTube).
