Then I ask you now, what's a girl to do?

"Whats A Girl To Do" - Bats for Lashes

Here's the rundown. All the cards on the table. The whats, the whys, the whatevers.

I'm a girl. Mediocre at best and content to be so. A go-nowhere job with go-everywhere ideas. The big 3-0 is less than four years away and I need to accomplish something. Anything.

And this is where I will make my lists.

• create a sanctuary within my home -- a library in my extra room -- with writing on the walls and books and trinkets on the shelves
• have a proper holiday
• write something and see if it sticks
• rollerskate
• have more meaningful moments
• save more money
• don't be too much a grown-up
• make more art
• get rid of junk

edit to add:

• see more fireworks
