Since I lost the physical book that contained years of these experiences, I decided to start making my list digital. I wrote about this on another blog and asked if people would be interested to see what each week brings me. A lot of people reached out and said they wanted to know what new things I would try, no matter how big or small, so here we are.
This week, I've decided to make this public… Which may or may not be the thing for the week. I guess we'll find out after I post.
I've decided to make the weeks Sunday through Saturday. I know most of you think the week starts on a Monday but I feel like maybe that's why Mondays are so brutal to many of us. So, I'm going to take some pressure off of that day and make the start of my week Sunday.
Because I only have to catch you up on a few weeks, I'm just going to share what's come about from the start of logging everything digitally. You ready? Here we go…
The Week of June 15th
Lost the notebook that held years worth of "things I'd never done before." Smooth, I know. However, this lead in to the next new thing…
I started a digital list. Even though I'm still totally afraid of the robot apocalypse and most things computer related.
The Week of June 22nd
Went to an amazing musical called Giraffenstein.
This hilarious musical was the story of Frankenstein… But with giraffes. It was beyond amusing and I got to see it at a theater I'd never been to, called the Lillian.
I also finally got to my first "Grunion Run."
I learned all about the bizarre mating habits of this shiny fish and had a really great time. My friend and I decided we wanted to go back next year, but we want to go on the night they don't allow you to catch them. That part made us really sad and people weren't even letting them do their thing. That was something we had wanted to witness, so hopefully next year that can happen.
The Week of June 29th
I went to a totally weird and awesome "alternative karaoke" bar.
There were tarot readings behind the stage and we happened to go on a night that there was a costumed birthday thing happening. They had the most randomly amazing song list of goth, new wave and other alternative music and a lot of fun was had.
This was the week that I also tried being more forward with someone I was interested in and initiated physical contact. This was probably one of the scariest things I've done in a while since I'm shy when I have a crush and I'm dealing with someone that comes off as aloof.
The Week of July 6th
Tried a new vegan cafe in Los Angeles called Sage's.
I was taken by an non-vegan and I normally won't let someone that isn't trying to become vegan or vegetarian take me to a completely vegan place. I don't judge people on what they eat and it makes me uncomfortable to force someone in to my dietary choices. It was crazy hot inside but pretty decent grub.
The Week of July 13th
I had my first Old Fashioned.
After hearing that I'd never had one, my friend decided it was time I had the best of the best. She made sure she had all the fixins and made me the most delicious and properly made classic beverage.
We then watched the first two episodes of Penny Dreadful with some friends. In regards to that show, I'm all in. It was weird and spooky and everything you'd want for a penny dreadful story. I can't wait until we have another viewing party for the next episodes.
So, that's that. We're off to a slightly boring start but I've been insanely busy and sometimes it's hard to fit in something spectacular.
