What I Would do if I Did One (New) Thing Each Day That Scared Me

You know how everyone always says to do one thing a day that frightens you?

Well, I've always thought that was a really, really stupid philosophy. I mean, things in every day life scare me: voice lessons, large crowds, loud noises! The world is full of terrifying things without seeking them out.

But, this week, I think I'm going to give this theory a chance.

Day 1 (Thursday): Getting the cartilage of my ear pierced: check! Today, while at the mall, I spontaneously decided to put a hole through my ear. Damn, it hurts, but it was totally worth it!

Day 2 (Friday): Fortunately or unfortunately, I have a whole list of frightening things for tomorrow. First I have a lesson, after being unable to practice for several days due to mother nature's grudge against Halifax (we're pretty much buried alive). Yeah, even stepping outside could be a little bit terrifying. Then, in the evening, I'm going to see a movie with my sister and a friend of hers, which is terrifying because I may or may not have chatted with said friend via POF before just ending all responses when I decided I had no desire for a boyfriend after all. So... yes, that will be very awkward!

Day 3 (Saturday): Attempt to book a doctor's appointment. Yes, calling people on the phone can be a bit frightening, especially since they're so often mean and irritable on the other end.

Day 4 (Sunday): TBA

Day 5 (Monday): TBA

Day 6 (Tuesday): TBA

Day 7 (Wednesday): TBA

Sorry to be dull, but my bed is calling me, and I can just update this on Sunday when I next write. Cheers!
