When I was a teenager I used to set myself all sorts of challenges, usually abstaining from something like coffee or alcohol or chocolate for x number of months. but sometimes memorising a poem or reading a book (I sill have an open challenge from when i was about 11 to read the complete works of Shakespeare.. taking my time over that one).
These days I don't bother, I know what my will power is so I don't feel the need to test myself so much.

Fap free February.

That was a tough one. Not fun, at all.

Certainly won't be an annual thing, that's for sure.
I'd cave in after the first couple of days.
A couple of my friends did. Personally I'd like to say I'm a better man or something for it. But I believe it made me some sort of sadist.

Either way, I'm not going back there.
Are you master of your domain?
It depends what my domain is. If you're asking, yes, I did fap free Feb, start to finish.

But as long as "my domain" is my apartment, then yes, I am.
Damn kids today...

That was a Seinfeld reference. Episode "The Contest".

American sitcom, can't blame me for living in the UK where we don't have NBC.

Hmmm. I forced myself to listen to Bring Me The Horizon's new album to see how awful it was (very).

When I'm walking around I occasionally set myself the challenge to walk a certain distance before a car passes me. Dunno why.

Um does building a humongous castle in Minecraft count? It's taken me the best part of the week to complete a tower and about 25-30 blocks of wall. It's about 34 blocks high, maybe less. Nowhere near completion. I estimate about a month or two of work till I get to the inside... it's big... is it big?
Is that the tower thats 25-30 or the whole thing? Either ways sounds good keep it up (if you're still doing it)

Any man who can go that long is my hero. You are truly a man who has the utmost of self control. Also, this reminds me of Seinfield when George calles himself a sexual cammel.
Woohoo! I'm someone's hero! Now I feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Honestly, Seinfeld is pretty much an international phenomenon. It has aired like, everywhere, at least twice. Never cared much about it though.

One day, I decided it would be great to train for a marathon, Just one, for the kicks.

It worked for the most part, but now I'm an addict to marathon training.

Currently on No shave November. Very irritating.

EDIT: OH! And I've sworn that when I kill a bear with my bare hands I will put it's tooth through my ear... yup.

To love the virgin woman I lose my virginity to for the rest of my life, and stay married to her until death do us part. It will be hard, but it's possible.

The tower is 10x12 around the base and... I forget how high it is. The wall went up from 25-30 to 60-80 but it's went on hiatus. I picked the worst place to start it so I have a lot of land to level out.

I once decided to spend a week getting to level 60 woodcutting skill in RuneScape. I have no idea why.

I couldn't look at willow trees for months afterwards...
Try getting 99 woodcutting. I tried... And failed. It takes bloody AGES. I checked the Exp, it's 10 times more that getting to 76...

That's what I'm doing right now. Although I don't grow much facial hair anyway so it's not that much of a problem for me.

I've wanted to try and beat Legend of Zelda Wind Waker in under 10 hours (in one sitting too) and I remember starting as a test, just to see if I could do it, but I got to the Tower of the Gods in one sitting and then quit because I got bored (I've already beaten the game about 5 times).

speak, listen to music, read books, and watch films only in French for two weeks in order to get ready for the AP French exam. It kinda worked, cause I got a 4!

Im on Movember at the moment. I don't think I'll survive it: I hate having facial hair. And it reveals that I'm ginger! :(

I also challanged myself to learn to juggle. And really oddly, to encourage me to get it right, I refused to let myself fap until I had thrown and caught a set number of balls.

I cottoned on pretty quickly!

Mine was to do train up my left hand so I could be ambidextrous. I managed to get as far as eating, fapping, shaving, and writing with my left hand before falling back into old habits. Maybe I'll give it another shot when I get bored enough...

I am currently in the proces of ignoring two people in my class whoms actions thoroughly and utterly disgust me.

So, yeah. It'll be hard, they're two of my friends in class. XD Luckily, I have 4 more to have lunch with if nothing else.
