Mine is to be less self-depreciating.
But other than that i'm perfect, thanks for asking.

Mine? Let's see, I resolve to get my ass in gear and actually get something written for once instead of just letting the ideas fade into non-existence, actually finish my drawings, and to finish this coming semester with at least a 3.0 GPA (I got a 2.462 for the first one...I wonder if they'll round that up to a solid 2.5...).

Also, I resolve to lose weight, but I think that really goes without saying for a good chunk of America's population...

Check out my crappy drawings!

I'm probably going to do the same stupid resolutions I make every year: practise my drumming, go to the gym, don't be unnessersarily nasty to anyone, the usual crap.

However, there's a chance I might pull it all off this year...

Improove my interactions with strangers and aquaintances. Try to be a bit more outgoing, and let go every now and again(in a way other then getting drunk and running around without a shirt on). Yeah, mostly just improving the way I get along with people that I don't yet know well.

I like that you're going to set a resolution to drink more and smoke more and not even be able to stick to that one.

Exercise, Marge. Every day.

Be more productive at work, at rest, and at home.

Give up fast food.

Give up smoking (again).

And like every year as a result of this I'll also be giving up my tolerance of children, being nice to annoying animals, holding open doors for other people, my job, my friends, and whatever relationship I string together at the new years party.

on a plus though I get bitter sarcasm and the desire to commit arson.

I want to go back to the films of the 80's, where plots were simple, and explosions happened regularly....

I need to stop biting my nails. again. and hopefully not be such a spazz. and maybe not procrastinate so much, but that's a little too much to hope for.

I managed to stop biting my nails sometime just before Halloween. Funny thing too, I painted them once, and then after it had all been chipped and scraped off, I still didn't want to stick them in my mouth.

One frustration, though, is after they get really long and sharp and I'm feeling all proud of myself, they break off and I have to start all over again! I only have one left that hasn't broken off yet...

Still, the sound from being able to properly tap my nails on something is a very satisfying one...

I was kidding, but my point was that people make resolutions knowing that they probably won't stick to them. I find the whole thing very amusing.

What I SHOULD resolve to do:

Go to the grocery store more often so that there is some healthy food in the house
Exercise ever
Join more activities, make more friends

What I know I WILL do:

Decide it's too cold to go out; eat Froot Loops while watching TV.
