Heard about it from my best friend.
Took a look at it and saw that it’s really user-friendly and lots of interesting content is easy to find and keep track of.
Wanted to make a blog of my own for a while that I could use later to peruse and remember what kind of person I used to be. A time capsule of sorts.

Taking the initiative and going out to explore Seoul on my own and not getting completely lost.
Assuming that “this month” means “during the remainder of this 30 day challenge” …
1. Go to Jeju Island - because it’s one of those must-do things when one visits Korea and I actually have the means and opportunity to go this time.
2. Safely bring back all my luggage back to the states - My heart just might break if some of my more fragile luggage broke on the flight home.
3. Visit a beloved friend in Virginia - because she just graduated and I might not see her again for a while. We have plans that include sundresses, cupcake sampling, exploring DC, eating lots and lots of Chinese food, and being fabulous in general.
4. Watch a movie with another friend back in New York - She’s one of my favorite hoobae’s (junior) not from Williams College and she’s going off to Brown in September! My baby’s all grown up! Oh please, I only got to know her my senior year of high school, but she’s one of the few people I would actually get off my lazy ass to meet.
Based purely on superhuman ability, it would probably be Nightcrawler from X-Men. Teleporting would be an amazingly nice superpower to have, in my opinion.
Okay, perhaps today’s challenge was more about finding a fictional character that I admired and related to, but I was never the type to read comic books or watch shows that had superheroes in them. How could I possibly complete today’s challenge if I have little to no knowledge of superheroes and still don’t care much about them? The people I look up to and admire… they’re real and they’re close.
Nothing against the people who actually have a favorite superhero. There is a lot to be gained and learned from a fictional ideal, I’ll bet. Don’t we strive for some intangible ideal in order to progress (in an almost arbitrary direction) at all? It’s just a tad annoying when we change our definition of ideal too soon, too often … but all in the name of progress, hah.
But honestly, who am I to say? As if I know anything about the world and how it works. :)
Clenching my jaw.
A couple of years ago, I decided that letting my mouth hang open made me look dumb and unaware. Also, if my mouth is open while I sleep, my throat gets uncomfortably dry and scratchy by the time I wake up. Solution? To keep my mouth closed at all times, except when I’m talking, drinking, eating, etc. The problem? I got into the habit of clenching my jaw to make sure my mouth was closed. Some mornings, I would wake up with a sore jaw and I could feel some lingering pressure on my teeth.
I’m working on it. I massage my jaws/cheeks and I consciously remember to relax (while keeping my lips shut) before I go to sleep.
oddrie sounds just like Audrey if you read it out loud.
My best friend used to find different ways to write my name or make up silly nicknames based off of my name. Oddrie was one of them.
Considering what I intend for this blog, trying this challenge wouldn’t hurt. I’ve been meaning to update more often, but I’m either too selective about what I post or I am too lazy to actually write up what I want to post. Maybe this challenge will remind me of something I intended to write about a while back.
