Recap

What a fucked up kinda year this has been. Some things sorta turned out the way I had expected, other things weren't even remotely close. Let's take a look at my New Year's resolutions from last year and see how they turned out...

1) Get back into my Size 6 jeans - Success! This one I actually accomplished and then some. I've lost 25 lbs since moving out to CA. Just 12 more to go...

2) Have the body to wear a bikini again this summer - Ummm, didn't quite make this one. I feel better about wearing a bathing suit now. I'm not quite bikini fit yet, but I will get there this year...

3) Stop annoying my friends - I went from annoying them to pissing them off so technically I got this one right :)

4) Save more $$$ - not even close...

5) Avoid my ex - I did a fantabulos job with this one until last month. Then there were some e-mails exchanged, but mostly I was successful at this res.

6) Have more sex - I had the good fortune to sleep with not one, but two amazing men in 2005. No complaints here. Let's hope 2006 is even better.

7) Keep posting to my blog - There were a few days I missed, but all in all I think I gave a good chronicle of the entire year here...

8) Finish the book and the screenplay I'm working on - didn't touch the book, but finished one screenplay and started on a second. This is my big project for 2006. Write. Write Write. The western WILL get finished.

9) Stop being so obsessive - I think I was better with my obsessiveness. I made up for it by being more neurotic, but that's better than obsessive, right?

10) Be happier about my job - Fuck yeah I'm happier about my job. I love my new one. Getting out of ATL and away from ELNK was the best thing I've ever done for myself...

11) Play more video games - I played a lot of EQ this year. I don't see that changing anytime soon. In addition, I have people trying to get me into Star Wars: Galaxies and City of Villians...

12) Be more open and honest with my friends - Sometimes too much honesty and openness maybe aren't the best things. I fucked up with a lot of people in 2005 and that was partially because I said things I shouldn't have. For a quiet girl, my mouth sure got me into a lot of fucking trouble it seems. I have a few confidantes I'll continue to share everything with, but there are some aspects of my life that are better not discussed with the general populace...

13) Get a new tattoo - this is the one I would have picked as the one I was most likely to foloow through with, but it didn't come to pass. I definitely need to get one in the coming year. Some of the best artists in the world work out of LA, I'm sure I can find someone to give me some ink...

I'm not going to do an official resolutions list for 2006. I'm going to work on the ones I didn't succeed at in 2005 and that should give me more than enough to do. I also vow to spend as much time as possible with TNI (who, I should mention, has been working out pretty religiously the last few months and is lookin' REALLY fucking good these days). I also want to continue to try and work things out with HWMNBN. He's making great strides to get through his "issues" and I have hopes that things will improve between us. So have a HAPPY NEW YEAR everybody! I'm headed to what could be a legendary party tomorrow night. I promise to let you ll know how it goes...
