I've edited #12: 'Create a photo album that represents my life' to become 'Do a 365 Photo Challenge'. This is basically taking a photo a day for an entire year. It kind of fits in with the chronicling thing and I have a feeling it would have been too easy to remove photos from my mum's photo album and stick them in mine. I'll post them online, most likely take them with my iPhone (recently got an iPhone 4, which has much better camera quality than my old 3GS).

Number 17 is to get a tailor-made suit. A certain someone told me I looked good in a suit (and converse :P) and I think it'd be nice to own a suit specifically designed for - and by - me.

And finally, 18 is to get kissed on a beach at night. This isn't 'technically' something I can make happen - but two people can. And in a way, it's all up to chance, so we'll see how this one works out.

And that makes the list full. Like I've made edits already, I may make a few before 2010 ends, but this is going to be pretty much it. 365 days, 21 goals, one me.

Before I go, here's a song about gay pirates.
