feeling resolute
Since I never bothered writing them on New Year’s Eve, as I was busy dressing up as a fallen angel and dancing until I fell over, here is a start at some resolutions. Ahem.
1) Learn to properly ride and care for my new motorcycle (the one in the link isn’t actually mine, but it’s the best pic I could find online. I can’t upload anything right now!)
2) Take better care of the fatass brothers, who deserve more lovin’.
3) Keep taking off the weight. 10 lbs off since I moved out, and 10-15 more to go until I will finally be happy. Right now I’m a size 8, which I haven’t been since I was 19. I refuse to believe this is as good as I will ever look.
4) Keep singing! Eween and I karaoke ALL THE DAMN TIME. (The pic is from June. I should upload something more recent!)
5) Someday, find myself a decent used flugelhorn and start playing again. I tried the guitar but just don’t have the hands for it, and I would love to be an instrumentalist again.
6) Keep running! By the end of last summer, I could go almost 3 miles without stopping.
7 - 9) Deleted. I have to keep SOMETHING private. (Right?)
10) Really do my homework, and kick the living SHIT out of JoJo, the Bridezilla Candy Kid I’m playing for the 3rd (February) and 4th (June) episodes of my show. I have officially the best costume ever for this character. I’m working with all of my best friends for the next six months, and it is going to RULE.
11) Keep thinking about grad school. I mean, really thinking about it. It won’t happen this fall, but I would love to have an application ready for fall of 2006. I don’t think I’m even vaguely ready to leave this city, and my finances are still in complete uproar, but I’m at least going to apply to the UW. They’ve got a fucking great MFA program, so we’ll see what happens.
12) Continue rocking at and loving my job.
13) Continue bringing finances into order. God bless automatic bill pay! I may be making tracks on that whole “responsible adult” thing yet.
14) Continue to ponder quitting smoking. Each time, I quit for a little longer … and right now, I am only having one every few days. I haven’t bought a pack in a LONG time, so who knows. I find the less pressure I put on myself about it, the longer I stay quit for.
15) Continue to eat healthier. I’ve pretty much given meat and eat LOTS of soy. One of these days that’s going to actually seem to make a difference. Really.
16) Start rollerblading. Keep all existing skin.
17) Keep dating and not letting it bother me when it doesn’t work. Casual dating can be fun, kids!
Resolutions, anyone? That is, if you care to share.
Not at all. It’s good to see you’re starting small! ;)
I have to admit that the phrase “10-15 more to go until I will finally be happy” bugs me a bit. That is to say, why not be happy now? And if you are gonna set a goal at least make it exact enough that you’ll know when to be happy. The way you’re stating it now, you have that five pound leeway where you’re not sure if you’re supposed to be happy yet.
Plus, you look foxy now, in case you were wondering.
And if Kim lives in Seattle and really wants to learn guitar, she should write me. My rates are reasonable.
Dude, YOU look foxy. As for Kim, I’m afraid you’d have to go to L.A. and environs for those lessons. Feeling like a little traveling? ;)
Entry: "Resolutions"
Excerpt: Darnit. All you too-motivated people out there with your resolutions on your blogs. So here are my goals, in general, for 2005. Summit Mt. Rainier. This is in preparation for the first goal of 2006, Summit Mt. Kilimanjaro. This goal,…... [more »]
Okay, you’re makin’ me feel bad. Sounds like you do so much already!
1. Lose weight. I’d love to be a size 8, but will be happy with just (#2 ) exercising more and eating better.
4. Rollerblade more (which will be easier as soon as my ankle returns from the evil purply-green color it is now.) Mitch won’t let me skate until he can touch it without me wincing.
5. Learn to play the guitar.
6. FINISH a screenplay.
7. Sell said screenplay and make millions and get rich.
That isn’t too much, is it?
