Ok -- So I've recently had a few life altering thoughts after some deep converstations with family and people who were better friends than I thought they were. I've also just go prescribed parnate, which I know is not a magical cure all drug, but hopefully it will help. I know I can do it.

I've had so many little experiances recentely where I'ver blocked off "SA" -- ie. I talked this girl at a party who was a model (10/10 material) for over an hour without any second thought, afterwards I thought to myself, did I just do that? I've also noticed I started talking to cashiers recently, little small talk that sometimes make them giggle or gives some sort of reaction.

My hope is that by at least writing this it puts the pressure on and keeps motiviating me in some way.

1. Get back into shape -- I was pretty fine/average until I broke my Ribcage... then that finally healed, and now I just broke my foot (yesterday - owwww!) -- hopefully I can still use the eliptical with thsi broken foot, if not, theres alwaysother things to do.

2. Go on a few dates, or try, plenty of fish, craigslist, hell I might even ask a stranger (if I'm on enough atvian at the time

) -- I wish I had a stylist

3. Be more outgoing, my brother and his friends (and mine too kind of) always hang around in our basement while I'm in an adjacent room just on the computer, I hear their converstations, I just never conversate with them. [Edit: did this once, plan for 10]

4. Stop spending money on some bad vices, saving up

5. Move out (most likely will once my car payment is paid up Sept 2011

6 Join a Roller Hockey League that doesn't get cancelled by a City Strike :

-- that took me so much effort to hit "submit" to apply/send payment, then it got cancelled

7. Asked for a raise -- Did this one - got shot down completely, but only because the company is currently losing money... sure, thats why we just ordered a $40,000 and soon to order a $70,000 hd disk arrays

8. Quit Job -- Did this -- see #9

9. Find new job

10.

Anyways thanks for reading! As usual, you guys are awesome.

Will add some other ideas I get from reading other threads!
