23 23s in 23

[lucymonster]

Stealing this from fiachairecht  because it’s such a neat idea! The goal: engage with 23 each of 23 kinds of thing I like in 2023. I have another big year planned and I’ll honesty be surprised if I manage to hit these numbers, but having something intentional and positive to work towards feels very appealing right now.

Categories are a work in progress - suggestions welcome! ‘New to me’ is implied, but I’m claiming some leeway for e.g. music I vaguely know but haven’t listened to attentively, fresh twists on familiar recipes, Greek I read in uni that I’ve since forgotten, etc.

1. metal
2. goth rock
3. music that is neither metal nor goth
4. books
5. things in video format (lumping TV, movies and YouTube vids together because I don’t watch enough of any to fill a category on its own)
6. recipes
7. fics read
8. fics published (drabbles count; pre-written drawerfic I dig up and polish counts)
9. fanart
10. beverages
11. poems
12. pretty things seen out and about (will take photos)
13. figure skating programs
14. chocolates
15. plants grown, sown, harvested or tended 
16. skulls
17. memorable family activities
18. passages read in Greek
19. secondhand acquisitions
20. things that make me go ‘wheeee’ (h/t walgesang )
21. things crafted (h/t fiachairecht )
22. -
23. -

My brain is still not working THAT well, so my eyes skimmed your entry and read polish counts, and I was like, "Awesome, I know nothing about Polish counts," and then I realized my mistake. 😆

Looking forward to any of your 23! At first it sounded A LOT MORE doable than the Fannish Fifty, haha, but then I thought again, haha.

LOL I almost want to add Polish counts an item now. Impromptu study binge on the nobility of a country I know barely any history of, what could go wrong? 😂

And yeah, I don’t think it’s remotely doable in the sense of me actually hitting my goals. But it’ll be nice to have them in mind! Might get me closer than if the challenge wasn’t there, at least.
