I have had nothing to say yes to. My life is too boring and I have no money, which seems vital in saying yes to almost anything.

Depressing.

I’ll give this another shot when I have money then. Challenge failed… this time.

DAY ZERO

So it turns out actually just saying yes isn’t the hard part. The hard part’s the commitment to that yes, and the paint that WON’T come off your hands. Still, this feels like a nice way to live after only a few hours.

I acknowledge that this film has been out a while, I’m not the most spontaneous person in the world, but if I’m going to sign up to a covenant, I’m setting some ground rules, because this isn’t a film;

1. I won’t lie, so if I physically can’t do something I won’t say yes.
2. If it’s going to hurt someone I care about I won’t do it either.

…otherwise it’s yes all the way. With every positive opportunity, yes is a must. It’s the perfect time in my life to start this, for at least the next week. Covenant starts…now! With regular updates. GO.

Time to get a shit job and forget about ever having a degree. Turns out it’s not so fancy anymore. When did that happen?

Oh right… whilst I was at uni.
