I've been enjoying making lists lately. It's quite easy and satisfying. Like spring cleaning your mind. Yesterday I made a list of things I used to get excited about as a kid. Today I made a list of things that are too big. Here they are:

Things I used to get excited about when I was a child:

- Sirens
- Stealing sweets from the bakery
- Stories about things which didn't really exist, like ghosts or goblins
- Playing football in the playground during recess
- Panini Football stickers
- High speed trains
- Skateboarding
- Presents wrapped in wrapping paper
- Dinosaurs
- GI Jos
- Roleplaying a football match between my GI Jos
- Becoming a vet
- Holding my breath under water for a long time while taking a bath


Things which are too big:

- That tower in Dubai
- The drink in a large sized fast-foot meal
- SUVs and Hummers.
- The wheels of tractors.
- Some TVs
- Most fake tits
- The relative distance between the nucleus and the electrons
- Amy Whinehouse's hair

What about you? Any lists you've been making lately?

Those are pretty solid lists.

I made a list of goals recently. Not sure of all of them off the top of my head.

-Lose weight
-Build muscle
-Choose some classes
-Sign up for the GRE
-Go to church
-Get out and be social on weekend nights
-Find a new place to live
-Stop worrying about getting a girlfriend

All of these had ideas on how to accomplish them next to them, but I can't remember what I wrote so I don't feel like putting it down, haha.

Bottom of the list I see, don't know if you'll have time to get around to it today.

Todo lists should never be in chronological order. That's the path to OCD.

My list was lacking.

I need to change my work computer's wallpaper today.

List of favorite wallpaper sites:
- Totally Severe
- Smashing Magazine
- National Geographic
- Astronomy Picture of the Day
- Pop Art Machine

When I make grocery lists, I order them in the order in which I walk through the grocery store and then by in the order that they are in the grocery store's layout. So it has headings and then breaks down into individual items.

That's nearly the only type of list I allow myself to make anymore, haha. Well, I also make packing lists for trips. It's like a mini-vacation before the vacation.

I'm not nearly as bad as I used to be.

You have far too much time on your hands.

Were your filing problems presented in list form?

I will, on Saturday. I have myself down for a glass or three of red wine after Hannah goes to bed while the Roo and I watch the Office.
