Seems like as good a time as any to post the list of New Year's resolution's that I'm planning on breaking in 2005... Well, I do have every intention of keeping these, but you know how that goes...
1) Get back into my Size 6 jeans - this was actually my goal to hit before the end of 2004, but then the holidays rolled around so it kinda got put on hold for a few weeks...
2) Have the body to wear a bikini again this summer - ok, so this one sorta goes with #1. I could probably combine these 2 under just a general "get into better shape" kinda resoultion, but what the hell. Having the abs to look good in a bikini falls into a whole different realm than just losing weight. Is it wrong to want to have an ass you can bounce quarters off of? I could have worse ambitions...
3) Stop annoying my friends - I get a little neurotic sometimes and unfortunately for the people close to me that means they get caught in the crossfire from time to time. I'll try to keep the casualties to a minimum next year...
4) Save more $$$ - I am 33 now. I should be thinking about the future. I'm not good at that. I'm more of an instant gratification chic. If I want something I just buy it. I need to be less impulsive about some of the stuff I buy. This one will be tough to keep...
5) Avoid my ex - this will be the first time in 10 years that I won't have to deal with him. That alone could make 2005 the best year ever.
6) Have more sex - 2004 broke me out of a looooong dry spell. I don't look to repeat that again. Ever.
7) Keep posting to my blog - well duh!
8) Finish the book and the screenplay I'm working on - I got back on track with my writing. I just need to keep it up.
9) Stop being so obsessive - I tend to fixate on certain things. Often unhealthy things. This is why I don't do drugs (anymore). I know I have an addictive personality. I need to learn when to take a step back and reevaluate my priorities sometimes...
10) Be happier about my job - wether I stay at ELNK or end up somewhere else (please God let me find something else!) I need to be happier at work. A large portion of my life is invested in work. It should be something I enjoy doing...
11) Play more video games - this one will probably lead to me breaking rule #9, but what the fuck. I've discovered I like gaming (or at the very least playing EverQuest). I might as well embrace my geekiness to it's fullest potential, especially since I just invested some considerable $$$ in a new gaming system. (See, I told you #4 was going to be hard for me to keep.)
12) Be more open and honest with my friends - I tend to keep things bottled up inside of me. With very rare exceptions I don't tell even my best friends what I'm feeling. This will be a hard one for me. I just don't like to burden other people with my problems. I know they have enough of their own. I know it's hard for people who read this blog to believe that I'm not good with sharing information with others, but that's different. It's so much easier to put things in writing than to confront people directly.
13) Get a new tattoo - I've gone without a new tat almost as long as I went without sex. That needs to get remedied.
13 is a good number for me so we'll stop there. I'm sure there is a lot more I could resolve to do, but let's stick with a semi-workable list. Don't want to get too ambitious :)
