It's that time of year again. What hollow promises are you all planning to break on January 2nd?
1) Stop drinking. After realising that alcohol does absolutely nothing for me other than make me feel tired I can't be bothered to spend money on it anymore. :wacko:
2) Get into better physical shape and stop being so skinny.
3) Practice guitar more and join a new band.
4) Learn how to play the piano properly.
Kinda like you, actually.
1) Try for the 3rd time to be nice to my schoolmates.
2) Get rid of my extra weight, isn't much, but it would be nice to finally get rid of it.
3)Keep practicing on the guitar and regain my memories. :wacko: Also, acquiring new ones and get a band of my own. :nod

2) Start taking Japanese a little more seriously. It's all fine and well to study it almost exclusively via RPGs if I'm only learning for fun, but if I get accepted to university next year, it'll probably end up being my major. I need to get it together, and start working a little bit harder. ^^;;; My Japanese tutor has always been so kind to me, and she volunteered to correct anything I wrote, whether it was a class assignment or not, so... I think I should start taking advantage of that generous offer. ^_^
3) Continue to write, with the end goal of completing a book's worth of short stories, and the two short novels I began last year. The first part isn't so ambitious. The second is maybe a little bit lofty, since I've written 20000 words of one, but hardly 3000 of another. Still, I intend to give it my all. ^_^ I've received so much encouragement since I began to show my writing to others last year, and I have lots of people cheering me on... Though I know in my heart of hearts that it's probably ridiculous, I'd still...sort of like to give this weird dream of being a writer a go.
4) Start trying to talk to people a little more. Of course...something like this is probably pretty impossible for someone like me. ^_^ I'm pretty afraid of almost everyone. Still, last year was...kind of like a test run for me. It was about the first time since I was nine or ten that I really felt as if I was being 'me' to the outside world, and not just some other person I'd made up.
It was pretty terrifying at first, but I had so much fun. I was really happy to be able to speak with my tutors, and with a lovely friend that I made in my English class. Even if it ended up only being in a very limited capacity, I was so grateful to be able to show them who I was, to be able to present a little bit of the person that I am in writing to the outside world at last. ^_^ Though it's probably not possible, I'd like to move a little further towards being that person on a daily basis, and I'd like to start to open up to people a little bit more.
Besides those four things, I'd like to just keep doing my best in all areas of life. I feel as if I've picked myself up a lot over the last five years, and I have no intention of returning to the place I was in when I first met everyone here. ^^;;;
1)Lose weight. Cause it's annoying.
2) Kill Sprung. For obvious reasons.
3) Kill Evans. Eventually.
4) Finish some of my damn games.
1) Fix the damn forums
2) Kill Evans before Ivolt.
1) Stay Sober
2) Get in better shape
3) Collect more games
4) Get enrolled into college
5) Find a kickass job
6) Stay with my g/f
1. Party a lot more. Just enjoy life in general and not take things so seriously.
2. Find younger girls at my college and talk to them more often.
3. Cook more meals and eat more.
I'm already in shape, going to college, and have friends that party. I just need to follow the meaning of life:HAVE FUN.
Just do what Ray does, hang out at the local pre-school.Quote:

Five reasonable things which I can do for the year :D
Cyrax, who's Ray?

I visit infrequently and pop in to take a gander at the freebies section. Is Ray some sort of crazy freak who has a restraining order against nature?Quote:

Lose some weight.
Get a new job since the CompUsa ship sank like the Titanic.
New year, new girlfriend.
More time for my games.
don't make anymore uncanny triplet posts. :wacko:
1) Cleanup triple posts
2) Go to the dentist regularly (my last visit was expensive...)
3) Burn off all the pron on my desktop
4) Download more pron
1. Get back into writing, whether it be lyrics, poetry or prose. I have all these crazy ideas in my head and never end up commiting them to paper. Which sucks, because I'm a decent storyteller when given the metaphorical boot in the arse for motivation.
2. Get back into the gym regularly. None of these 3 times on week, then forgetting about it for a fortnight crap.
3. Save up and move out. Self-explanatory really.
1) buy my own 18 wheeler truck so I can make alot more money
2) get windows XP and rid of Vista (DIE)
3) lose at least 30 lbs
1. Delve deeper into learning German, at least achieve a level in the language where I can express freely and understand most of what I hear.
2. Practice more guitar. Put all the ideas I have onto paper and possibly start a band.
Do nothing.
1. Transfer.
2. Get back into shape. I don't really need to lose weight, just need to build some of my old muscle back.
1. Finish my fucking skin. And make another one.
2. Not, uh, having ulcers.
3. Make up my mind regarding my non-girlfriend. Whatever will come of that, I don't know.
4. Get a proper job or, preferably, go abroad.
Naturally, these aren't actual resolutions, I merely thought them up now.
1) Lose 50 pounds or so.
2) Drink more.
3) Get laid. A lot.

I don't really do resolutions, but I do have some goals for the new year. Mostly, they're practical things I've known about for weeks or months.
1. Actually do a job I can take confidence in on the second senior design project
2. Find a job for after college, preferably somewhere other than here
3. Write. The ideas just keep resurfacing, and they won't go away.
4. Actually learn more hypersonics on a practical level.
5. Design and research the necessary hard sci-fi for a full world and backstory, including ship designs and modern warfare.
6. Learn Japanese, Korean, German, French, Russian, and Romanian. And Chinese, Mandarin and Cantonese. Maybe some Latin if I can swing it.
7. Go absolutely mad scientist after a mental breakdown, build a neutron bomb, and hold a nation hostage for *dramatic zoom* one million dollars!
7a. Mad science is not mad science without bubbling flasks and Jacob's Ladders. I'll need to buy those. I think there's a set on sale at S-mart that includes a Van de Graff generator, too.
7b. Is a neutron bomb mad-sciencey enough? Maybe a neutron cannon or zero-point bomb. Or giant mutant weasels. Ooh, ferrets, that's an idea. Or I could just throw rocks at the Earth from the asteroid belt until someone pays up.
7c. I may need to find some desolate tropical island or haunted manor/castle for my mental breakdown, then. Maybe some real estate shopping in Transylvania will be necessary. Then again, a lot of this outsourcing stuff is going to the Third World, so maybe the Transvaal would be better. Still, a moon base does have its appeals...
Of course I'm taking this seriously. Why would you think otherwise?
1. Sleep less/Organise my sleep patterns
2. Actually work in University
3. Play more guitar
Lose some weight and keep myself in a somewhat healthy state is the only thing I have planned.
Give me some of that shit you're smoking. :wacko:Quote:

2. Start going to class. A 3.17 just isnt good enough for me hah (I went to Chemistry 5 times. It was a 3 day a week class)
3. Lose some weight during the Spring / Summer
4. Get a motorcycle
5. Make it across the country and back on said motorcycle.
6. Make some cash for a nice camera and some computer upgrades, so I can do more with PtoP
7. Start planning for life after college, even though I have a few years left, I want to be ready when the time comes.
And you make fun of me. :eyeball:Quote:
