Money does not grow on trees

My money seed failed to grow for a second time, so I have decided to give up this one for the time being.

Finally!

The seed seems to be growing now towards the right direction (after I had to reorient it!). You would have thought that reading the 3 line instructions would have made a difference. Hopefully, in 3-4 days there will be signs of the first leafs... and signs of me finally finishing this Thing.

Toooo slow

I got another seed kit and planted my second money seed, hoping I will be more successful this time. I placed it next to the window and watered it regularly. I even read the instructions this time. Still, four days later no result. I always knew gardening (and plants in general for that matter) was not my cup of tea, but this is now getting ridiculous. Lets give it another 2-3 days and see what happens.

Vote now!

A few days ago I added a poll (check the right hand side column). It will stay open for 101 days. So, get voting! After all, you don't want to miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to make a difference, right?

Thing #35: Learn how to ask someone out

You would have thought that years of practice would have made this easier. Think again! I guess people don't get better at asking other people out as such. They just handle rejection easier. Then, it is so much easier to ask someone one! Before you get old and boring you tend to take things personally a bit more than you should really do. When you are old enough, and wiser if I may say, you realise it's not the end of the world if you get reject. In fact, even if you do go on a date, you will need to probably ask someone else out sooner or later (that's what statistics say anyway). I guess this is why this Thing is actually called 'Learn how to ask someone out and... how to dump them'! Both useful social skills for emotionally balanced individuals!

Now if you are a girl reading this blog please read this: How to ask a guy out (as if you really need to!). If you are a boy reading this blog please read this: How to ask a girl out (you most probably need this!). Either way, if you still struggle, get the "101 Things to do before you are old and boring" and pretend you ask someone out only because it's in the book. It's a good way to start a conversation about the Things you've done, it proves you are not yet old and boring and if at the end you get rejected... you can always blame the book!

Feel old and boring? Talk2Me


Dan is yet another person who woke up one day and felt (almost) old and boring. So, he decided to talk to people about what it means to be old and boring (as if we don't know!). How would you spot Dan? Well the sign and his t-shirt give him away, don't you think?
Find out more about Dan's 101 Things at his blog.
