This is the "I think I can" thread, so that maybe you will know you can.

I think I can learn Aerial Silk.
So I'm going to start (jazz) dancing again (egahds, it's been years) to get my flabby bits more invisible. I should also probably lift weights...but getting in shape first is probably a good step. James wants to dance as well, so it'll be fun to take classes together and perhaps encourage both of us to follow through.

I think I can Roller Derby.
I know, I know, everyone and their Aunt wants to be Ellen Page.
But I've been roller skating since I was five and wanting to kick ass since fetus.
So, I am going to start skating again regularly before I invest in good skates, hopefully getting in shape at the same time, and when awesome wonderful health insurance magically occurs I'll start investigating a good team.
I should also check out Roller Derby matches. I'm sure I'm making a really dangerous activity candy coated in my head. Yayy.

I think I can sail a boat.
But I can't swim. (not very well anyway)
So SWIMMING LESSONS come summer.

Okay, sorry you had to read all that crap, but now it's your turn! Feel free to give advice and encouragement or post information or whatever you want to do loves.

^ Keep dem fingers curled.

I think I can finally learn ASL. I mean, I taught myself how the language works and have asked many people who know ASL if my understanding of the language is precise or misinformed and apparently it's precise, so I just need to learn some signs. With all these years of music lessons, learning a couple of signs shouldn't be that hard, right?

I think I can also learn German, but I think I'll have to take a class for that because I'm reading a book and it's kinda difficult.

I think I can obtain a degree in operatic performance if I really tried.

I think I can actually do this song-writing thing.

i think i can finnish writing a song and sing better, it's just taking some time...

I think I can take over the world with my army of mutilated dolls

I think you can Roller Derby, too.

I think I can lose the weight I gained this semester. Maybe not before I go to San Francisco (

), but once the semester ends and I live at home again, it should be easier to lose weight. The campus food they make us eat is so unhealthy. It's not my fault I got fat on it, right? And I can even use my mom's shake weight this winter to tone my arms

I think I can do well on my Japanese final.
I think I can pull a B- in that class. Izaki-sensei believes in me. And she understands all I've been going through this semester.

I think I can survive working fast food for a few months. I think I can I think I can I think I can.

^If I went to university this year I'd be forced to eat that nasty food which is all fast food. Y'see living on res requires you to have a mandatory meal plan which I think is absolutely stupid seeing as each of the rooms have a fucking stove and oven and refrigerator in which to store food in. Stupid stupid. So if I went to school this year I too would think I could lose the freshman fifteen.

absynth aura · « **Reply #11 on:** December 09, 2010, 12:09:36 AM »

^^I'm glad I stayed at home rather than living in the Halls.

I think I can, I think I can get my new laptop before the end of the year.
I think I can, I think I can get what I need together to move out of home early next year.

mooserider · « **Reply #12 on:** December 09, 2010, 02:16:46 AM »

^^You're damn right you're glad. They also require us to have a meal plan for their shit food they feed us, and 1700$ a semester for it is pure robbery. We have a kitchen in our dorm, and even if I ate frigging top ramen every night, it'd be way healthier and less fattening than the stuff they expect us to eat in the cafeteria.

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can handle living with my mom next semester. I'll just spend all of my free time out of the house and only be there for sleeping.

absynth aura · « **Reply #13 on:** December 09, 2010, 02:37:25 AM »

^Find a job where it's easy to pick up extra hours, that's what I do, always offering to cover shifts, making plans with friends, finding ways to not be in the house during the days/nights when people are home.

This thread looks nice, I missed it first time round. Can we resurrect it?

Astica · « **Reply #15 on:** June 08, 2012, 03:25:53 AM »

^Yes, dear.

^^Creepiest bot post ever.

@Topic: I'm going to start contortion next month. Er, I mean, I think I can.

I think I can also get first class honours this year if I work my arse off and didn't do too badly on my last essay.

I think I can, uh...actually do well in classes next fall.

I was hoping to just ignore the scary bot, in case acknowledging it would feed it and it'd burst out of my screen like an angry demon. But yeah, hella spooky.

I don't know what my I think I can thing is

imaginary friend · « **Reply #18 on:** June 08, 2012, 09:38:15 AM »

it was just 3 words...something like "Silence is here."

It had a list of countries (which were links) after it. Like silence had fallen in those countries.

It creeped me out because those countries were mostly the ones that have political & military problems with their neighbours. So it sounded to me more like the silence before the storm.

Back on topic, I'm getting at least a 2:1 degree, but probably a first, and I'm getting into the course of my dreams, be it in Birmingham or Nottingham. I don't want to put "I think I can" because there is no doubt in my mind that is what's going to happen.

The Angel Raliel · « **Reply #26 on:** June 10, 2012, 08:46:33 AM »

Back off topic.....I am pretty sure it was these guys....

Savannah · « **Reply #29 on:** June 10, 2012, 09:55:50 AM »

It think i can call my friends a little more often.

My cousine has just graduated and started a new job, a frind of mine has been suffering from a benign tumor in her liver, another friend of mine is expecting a baby, and another one has bought a new house and about to move in. All of these good people have been calling me, and i think i can and should call them back.

Yeah...
Generally more effective if you can answer if someone asks what's wrong.
(Whether you do answer or not is, of course, entirely up to you.)

....and really, come to think of it, I'd rather hope you didn't have many reasons at all. $:-\$
