101 in 1000

I usually avoid blogging trends and overly twee, cutesy ideas. But I came across this 101 in 1000 days idea. You can get all the info at this website. It sounded like a good self-improvement project to occupy my time. So here's my list of 87 in 1001 because I've been working on this for over month and I'm running out of ideas. I'll come up with 14 more eventually. I reserve to the right to change it due to evolving needs/desires in the future (Crossed out have been completed):
