You don't have to be an LJ member to leave a comment... so go ahead and tell me how crazy I am to try this or just be sure to put my feet to the fire. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:papercranes1k:299 2006-07-28T05:44:43Z 2006-07-28T05:44:43Z Today marks the first step in my attempt at folding 1000 paper cranes.<br /><br />I woke up rather early with the idea and decided to pull myself out of bed in order to set myself firm to the task.
