Why? (1 - 25)

Just a short explanation on why each task is on my list:


1) See a film at IMAX


2) Get a job - Technically, I have never been employed. Ever. Working in a takeaway just doesn't count.


3) Donate blood 5 times - Giving blood is something which I've always wanted to do but never got round to doing it. After the first time, giving regularly is the next step.


4) Go camping - I don't think I've ever been camping before - I feel like I've missed out on a great childhood experience.


5) Volunteer


6) Climb a mountain - Setting myself high targets will feel damn good when I accomplish them.


7) Dye my hair - It's been a while since my hair was red. Red seems to be the classic chink colour though when it comes to dying hair so I might go for something a bit different...

8) Go go-karting
9) Go to a festival
10) Make sushi
11) Go skiing/snowboarding


12) Get fit - I've never been unfit...but then again, I've never been fit. Many times I've been through a period of a month doing plenty exercise and watching what I eat, only to get complacent then giving up altogether. Now I'm determined to get fit. A bit hard to measure but I should know when the time comes.


13) Pass driving test - I was planning on waiting until after uni (well, I've still got that summer before the 1001 days are up) but I just want to get it out the way now. Chances are, I won't get a car; I mean, I don't need one at the moment which is the sole reason why I was just going to wait.


14) Get a caricature done of myself
15) Get someone else to make a list


16) Learn basic Japanese - This ties in with 18) - basic Japanese would come in handy.


17) Go to 5 gigs - I've been to plenty back in Newcastle but only one so far in Manchester.


18) Visit Japan - I've always craved to go to Japan. I'm just fascinated by the tradition, myths and legends - I've drifted away from wanting to 'see the future' and instead want to 'discover the past'.


19) Go on a random road trip
20) Finish writing this list
21) Use Twitter/Buzz
22) Buy a DSLR
23) Learn to play the drums
24) Stay off Facebook for a week
25) Save £2 for every task I complete
