it may be a bit late for this, but did anyone make any new year resolutions? I'll start with mine

1: Learn to cook

2: Get something published

Quit smoking, be a better father, be a better friend, send off agent query letters, gig live and live more positively.

Didn't really make any resolutions. I intend to do well in my GCSEs, but I'm fairly confident that I can do pretty well without extra resolutions. Revise for my GCSEs, maybe?

To Finish typing Part 2 of the latest Biv-Wacked! Chapter and to finish writing the story I began on the Short and Curly Competition! Blargh! Not enough time in the day! *Goes off to weep in a corner*

1) To learn to drive - At the age of 24, it is long overdue!

2) To stop swearing so much!

3) To try and finish writing my novel - Though that was one last year, and the year before, so I'm not hopeful about succeeding!

4) At the insistance of our beloved mayor, to work up the courage to jump on a plane and go and see the Aurora Borealis - Though that doesn't stand much chance of success either!

Other than that, I'm just perfect! :P

Get MT finished on IF, and the new draft polished after that.

Get some practice writing short stories.

Win the lottery and retire.

Probably a load of others too, but can't think of them, right now. :)

I stopped making resolutions a few years ago because I noticed that I was failing at my resolutions more spectacularly than I failed at those same things when I hadn't resolved to do them. I don't know if that's necessarily good or bad, but I have found myself putting things off less without making a resolution as an excuse to not do it sooner.

My Resolution is a year long test and very simple .. To do better than i did last year .. Over all i broke even on it last year ... Granted I got married ( yes scary thought ) but the Economic recession hurt me and my wife pretty bad so over all i feel last year was a break even year so i didn't make my resolution

I don't do resolutions so much as I give each year a "theme" to live by. This year, 2010 is the "Year of Getting Sh!t Done".. much of which is long overdue. :P

Ah yes, the load of other stuff that I couldn't think of definitely comes under that umbrella.

Thanks for reminding me, Skitty. Damn, now I'll have to try and forget it again. :P

Good old Emperor living in nostalgia.

Did you ever learn to drive?

Seeing the lights are STILL on my list after all these years.
