Resolutions

With new years in about a month, i was wondering:

Does anyone still make resolutions and keep them? And if you do, are going to, share?

------------------

hmmm...
i try not to get all hyped up for the incoming year...
so i definitely don't 'make' resolutions necessary for the occasion.
call me cynical (you know what i like to hear).

I still make resolutions.
This past year, I've pretty much succeeded, but not completely, in my resolution.
And that was to leave everyone I met, with a positive image of me. And to be open minded, and try to accept different things taht I might not have before. I've succeeded except a few people saw my bad side http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif

As miserable as life may be I hold it pretty precious...

If I lose the light of the sun, I will write by candlelight, moonlight, no light. If I lose paper and ink, I wil write in blood on forgotten walls. I will write always, I will capture nights all over the world and bring them to you.

I've turned melodramatic. It's completely annoying the shit out of both myself and the people who come into contact with me. So I guess I'll try hard to 'mellow' myself. My new year's 'mantra' is new. new life new car new job new friends so maybe new haircut?? http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/tongue.gif

Are you mocking me Shatoushka??

------------------

Because if you're not...I think I seriously missed something. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/confused.gif

------------------

hell no, i'm not mocking you.
i was serious.
there was just something about that post that said, 'man, that's cool!'
i can't explain it.
(well, at least not without going into academic terms)
your post was cool as hell.
i dunno.
i think it has something to do with a poetic aspect...more of like free-form prose.

it was great.

I must agree with SHATOUSKA.

I believe the hardest thing I have observed young women overcome is just taking a moment to step out of their own body and look around.

Congrats.

Well, my resolution is to start the New Year FAST AND FURIOUS, I have my first editing client booked for 11:00 am, and I'll be cleaning up for a bit before that.

Yee Haw!

hmmm, I can't remember who that was almost two years ago.

I have to lose weight for my high school reunion.

AND DON'T ASK WHICH ONE! [img]mad.gif[/img]

I never make resolutions in January if I make any it's at the start of September.

The new academic year(UK) normally begins in September so it seemed like a good time to start making positive changes when I was a child and it's just continued. Plus now that I have children it's also the ideal time to start anything afresh for it's the time I get some breathing space back after the summer holidays.

I tend to assess life-type things in december, probably because the dreary winters (UK again) make u automatically think more, then have the rest of the month to think about the new years resolution.

Usually things are going well, then by around mid-may something will have happenned (usually death-related, in the previous 2 years anyway) and i will have completely forgotten about it.

Then november comes and i convince myself that i have improved my life in some way and make myself beleive that the thing i have improved on was the thing that i promised myself i would do in my new years resolution.

It makes sense if u think about it [img]confused.gif[/img]
