Thanks for all the suggestions, here's my plan of action:
April 5-April 12: No television.
April 12-April 19: Try three new things every day.
April 19-April 26: Walk practically everywhere I go.
April 26-May 3: Be super vain.*
May 3-May 10: No negativity towards other people.
*You may notice that "be super vain" seems to be the complete opposite of not looking in a mirror, and indeed it is. I made that change because I realized that there would be no lesson learned by my refusal to look in a mirror for a week. Since I really don't try as hard as I should to look presentable, I figured it would be in my better interest (and probably in the interest of those who have to see me every day) if I would try and put more time in my appearance not less.
I choose to reject Jonah's interesting suggestion that I stay silent for 36 hours because there's a compelling reason that I may have to (or want to) talk to someone for every weekend from now till July. Also, "date a Gary" is not on my schedule, but I will point out that's because I have never met a Gary in real life. Sure I saw Gary Williams drop off his dry-cleaning, but it's not quite the same. I'll keep you all updated as to how this experiment is going. Any bets on what will be the most difficult? I'm on day two of "no tv" and from what I can tell it's only slightly less grueling than heroin withdrawal.

when I first read this list, I thought it said "be super villain," and thought to myself 'that is not the opposite of not looking in a mirror, so much as the opposite of being a superhero.' that being said, you should change 'be super vain' to 'be super villain' as the latter would be far more exciting, challenging, and memorable.
How often do you think Jesus looked in a mirror?
Yay for comments that are slightly irrelevant to the post!
being a supervillian would definitely be interesting, though I'd have to set a rule for myself that I would have to be a supervillian while abiding by all laws. I'd probably have to buy some sort of body suit and come up with an alter ego.... how about: super sexy silver spring hottie?
