Garrulous Glaahk Eclipse Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I, for one, never made any New Years resolutions. I always break them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Several years ago, I made a new year's resolution not to make any new year's resolutions. I am happy to report that I have kept it faithfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I have fulfilled one goal, completely failed at one in less than a week, and am making progress on the third. No, Dikiyoba will not say what they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I am, coincidentally, in exactly the same position and have exactly the same level of forthcomingness. —Alorael, who isn't sure if he should really count as failure the resolution that he decided was built upon untenable premises.

Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 If I ever made any, I have completely forgotten. They would have sucked, anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan inni Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 i never made one... i have in the past made a resolution not to make them, but i have broken that by making the same resolution every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I don't tend to make resolutions that can be accomplished in a month. Or even really evaluated after a month. This year was no exception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 My resolutions were to complete at least one BoA scenario, and start working on my novel. I have made little progress in either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Pretty much not going to be broken again by my family. Oh, and being less quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I'm still a vegetarian, but that was started well before new years. I might have resolved to find some new hobbies, but I wont be able to do that until I'm done with this semester of college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unflappable Drayk Toby-Linn Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I never make any New Years resolutions, or if I do I don't call them that. Instead I reflect on the past year and decide what I want to do this year. For example, I have made a decision to finally start getting my driver's license this year and also get a passport.

Magnificent Ornk Swimmin' Salmon Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Can't imagine why you would want to go anywhere. Canadia's pretty perfect, especially Ontario. Driving license I understand, it will let you head up to Deep River, and then further to the Algoma area. My <3 belongs to Algoma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I have kept up with both of mine, but the beauty of the ones I chose is, if I miss either/both for a week, I can pick them back up the week after. So it's all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Frozen Feet Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 At the end of the year, I resolved, in order, to exercise more, to find a job, an apartment of my own, and some poor sucker to share rent of said apartment. These resolutions, however, had nothing to do with new year, and everything to do with my conscription ending. So far, I've only progressed with the first of these - karate is fun.

Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I made a lot of resolutions this year hoping that I could stick to a couple of them. So far I've accomplished one, working on my broken finger enough to be able to play viola again with it. I suppose I can extend that resolution now to finding somewhere to play it. We have a Chamber Orchestra I could try out for. Then I'm on schedule for getting my degree. I think I've settled on a BS in IT/Software Engineering with an additional concentration in Website Development. Apparently with the 37 credits I turned out 12 years ago, I can finish it all in 2.5 years. I'm also keeping up with reading through my One Year Bible. Tougher than it sounds some nights... Ones I have failed at include: getting up before the kids, start answering the phone before the machine gets it, and being intentional is on the fence. I'd say I'm more intentional but only barely. I wrote down some more somewhere but I can't remember them which probably means I haven't been keeping up with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Rupert Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 To be honest, I don't usually find New Year resolutions useful and haven't made a serious one in ages. I tend to run on the principle that if I'm going to do something I'll just do it, without resorting to false pretenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Swimmin' Salmon Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 The structure of resolutions started on New Years Day can really help some people, and if they are making positive changes in their lives, why not let 'em? It might not work for you, but does that make it a universal truth that they are a false pretense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Rupert Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Eh? I never disparaged anyone else for needing extra motivation - as generally-speaking, a great deal of people do - nor claimed it to be a universal truth that an NYR is made on a false pretense. I was merely saying that personally, if I've decided to do something, I'll just do it for the sake of doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Canada is perfect, but I would like to be able to visit the States and other countries on occasion. My boyfriend is Polish, so we would like to go there and visit his family at some point as well. I actually have family in Chalk River, which is right beside Deep River, and yes it would be good to have a driver's license to go and visit them.
