Note: This is pretty much copied off of Contender's thread. Contender is the man and if i can achieve as much as him i will be very, very happy.
Ok so, ive been a lurker here for a while, probably about a year. Like most people here, i stumbled onto this site looking for ways to be better with women. In that year though, i havent been using this site to its full potential. Instead of using it to improve myself, ive been using it to "appear" more like a DJ. Really all i have been doing is using tricks to try to get my one-itis's to like me. And these tricks, suprisingly, have worked. In the past year, ive had three one-itis's, and ive gotten all three to like me. Awesome right?...wrong, with all three i was never able to make any moves and basically just acted like a total AFC.
It's time for a change, and thats what this journal is going to follow. If your reading this journal, thats great, show some support/criticism etc. but this journal is really for myself. I want to be able to follow my accomplishments and my faults, the good and the bad, so that i can improve.
This isnt just a typical approach journal, this is a journal following my path to a DJ.
So, first ill start with the good, what i like about myself as of now:
Then theres the bad though, these are the things i will be actively trying to improve throughout this journal.
So, once again, this is not an approach journal, i dont like cold approaches, i generally dont do them. However, if the opportunity comes up, i want to be able to take advantage of it.
Ill be tracking my improvements whenever i feel like logging on, most likely not daily, but definitely more than once a week.
Im starting my improvements immediately, however im going to sleep now because im dead tired from the combo of Thanksgiving turkey and having a crazy night and barely getting any sleep.

This isnt just a typical approach journal, this is a journal following my path to a DJ.
So, first ill start with the good, what i like about myself as of now:
- My look: Probably about two years ago, i took a good look at myself in the mirror and realized how crappy my overall look actually was. So, i went to the mall, bought alot of clothes, and developed my own style. I take pride in my style, its kinda casual-preppy ala Abercrombie with my own personal touches thrown in. I often receive compliments on my clothes. Also, around the same time, i started taking care of my face. I cleared up my acne, plucked my unibrow, and grew my hair out. Basically i just started looking good.
- My athleticism: My whole life, ive been an athlete. I've never been the big star though, untill last year in swimming. I totally broke out to be one of the best on my team. I also play basketball and golf competitively, and basically love playing sports.
- My Intelligence: My whole life, ive managed to get by with minimal work (more on that later) and still acheive good grades. I scored strongly in the SAT's and should get into a good college next fall.
Then theres the bad though, these are the things i will be actively trying to improve throughout this journal.
- Im lazy: Yes, im very, very lazy. As i said, i get by in school on my intelligence, because if it wasnt for my test grades, i wouldnt do so good. Im a huge procrastinator, and i only do about 50% of my homework. Ill hold off on big assignments untill the last possible moment, and then stay up all night to try to finish something i should have had done weeks ago. This isnt going to be good in college, so im going to motivate myself to improve my work ethic.
- I could be in better shape: I let myself go during the summer. I gained alot of stupid weight because i didnt watch what i ate. On top of that, i never swam or did anything to build up endurance, only power lifted. Now swimming has started and im out of shape, fighting to get back in the groove.
- Im shy: Well, at least with girls. With guys, im one of the most outgoing, sociable people around. With girls though, i am improving, however i am no where near where i want to be. I want to be the life of the party, and not only when im piss drunk. I want everyone to know my name, the guys all wanting to hang out with me, and the girls all wanting to be with me.
- NO MORE ONE-ITIS: Self-explanitory, i dont want to suffer from the cruel disease called one-itis, which sucks all the DJ out of you and replaces it with AFC.
So, once again, this is not an approach journal, i dont like cold approaches, i generally dont do them. However, if the opportunity comes up, i want to be able to take advantage of it.
