so i've been reading some (of my favourite) blogs recently and this idea keeps popping up in posts. a list of things, goals if you will to achieve by your next birthday. currently, i'm actually addicted to list making. it's really therapeutic and i'm really forgetful, so it hepls me actually do stuff.
18 before i'm 19:
1. make plans about festivals for 2011.
2. travel to a new city, explore it and only take a film camera.
3. crack into double figures with rolls of film shot on my diana f+.
4. get two more film cameras.
5. read more books about photography.
6. clean out wardrobe.
7. make something on the sewing machine.
8. ride in a hot air balloon.
9. sort out ucas/plans for september 2011 (ideally should be done asap).
10. buy and watch the illusionist.
11. learn how to cook more interesting meals.
12. be okay with myself and dress how i want to dress.
13. own a pair of beautiful loafers.
14. dance the night away.
15. frame more photographs.
16. go to bed earlier, sleep more, get up earlier.
17. stick out the job (and college).
18. spend a whole day in pjs on the sofa.

you should also check out these 'x before i'm x+1' lists:

18 before i'm 19 by lizzie from this is my other face.

20 before i'm 21 emily from i hate graceful people.

ps. i agree it's perfectly okay to let things from this list roll over this list to your 19 before i'm 20 list (or whichever age you are) it's like a growing thing.

are you going to do one too? i'd love to see what you'd like to do before your next birthday.
