I'm checking something else off my list today! I did #36, it was hard because alot of the people were people from high school and I felt bad deleting them. But it was good.

36.  Go through my phone’s contact list and facebook friends list and delete all the people who I no longer talk to

I finally did my first thing on my list!

#95) Do something that scares me.

I'm counting that as videotaping myself doing a mock counseling session with my friend Sara. It basically almost gave me a panic attack, but hey whatever.

OH and Amy taught me how to do strikethru, so for future reference, its <.strike.> <./strike.> (minus the periods.)
