resomolutions for a brand new dovey

<< < (21/22) > >>

Blue Kitty:
That's pretty freaking clever and I can't believe I hadn't thought of it before.

johnny5:
jeez that is what i thought but for some reason i kept thinking it had to be more complicated than that for it to have a label.

The Seldom Killer:
It's the 24th of December and as best as I can tell I'm going to be a lazy shit from now until new year, so time for a little festive thread minery.


--- Quote from: The Seldom Killer on 01 Jan 2011, 09:47 ---Far too new to have posted in the last thread so no accounting to resolutions that I didn't really make.

But resolutions can be a good thing so here goes.

1) Train properly for Paris-Brest-Paris.
2) Make sure I eat properly on every singe long ride without exception.
3) Complete the Bryan Chapman Memorial ride, it will make PBP seem much easier.
4) Get down to a 25 minute 10 mile time trial (and here ends my cycling nonsense)
5) Expand my range of cooking, the current repetoire is getting a bit boring and all of this money spent on kitchen equipment needs to be for more than nothing.
6) Draw that bloody comic man or dear god I will make you suffer.
7) Change the world for the better, even if it's only a little but.

That ought to keep me busy for a moment.

--- End quote ---

I count that as
Yes
Yes
Yes
No (in fact I didn't even do any time trials at all)
Yes
No (I started but too much freaking out over cycling, moving and money has caused me to be a failure there)
No (Maybe I did, I've campaigned, donated, supported, and helped on stuff through the year, but didn't do anything in the way I imagined for this resolution)

4 out of 7 is pretty shoddy really given that all were achievable. Still, at least I can do better next year.

Barmymoo:
I've been thinking about this a bit too - and my main one is your #5 from last year for all the same reasons. But first let's look at last year's!

-be the best goddamn au pair in the whole world - erm hmm well I wasn't bad but I left two months early because I was still ill
-learn French/Norwegian/Both - French yes. Norwegian not so much. Poisonous parrot, anyone?
-go to at least two folk festivals - Nope. Not even close. None at all.
-go back to university - Yes! I did this! Wholeheartedly and completely with 100% success so far.
-finish knitting the jumper I started in like 2007 - hahaha I have maybe done three more rows.

So for 2012:

-finish second year
-cook at least one new recipe a fortnight for at least a term (a term is eight weeks - this isn't too much of an ask)
-sort out my vocal chord issues so I can sing louder and better
-either be properly single, or date properly (ie stop having sex and getting emotionally tangled with people who don't want to commit)
-volunteer and donate to charity more

Zingoleb:
I don't remember my resolutions but I'm pretty sure they were the same as usual and instead of achieving them I moved 3,000 miles and made a bunch of awesome new friends instead, so I'll count that as a victory. Not the victory I intended and all, but fuck it, this is better.

This year I plan on:

Losing my tummy (I've lost somewhere around 100 pounds already)
Taking classes (German, art, and vocal lessons)
Visiting Seattle more often (because fuck, I have so many friends there that I never see)
Oh, and getting a regular job (I really don't have the self-discipline to be a camgirl, I usually fuck off and spend the night playing Warcraft or gameboy emulators instead and tend to make only a little more than rent, and it's not like I  need an awesome job. I could live pretty damn well on about $800-1000/month)
