Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 With 2010 behind us (finally!) and 2011 just begun, it is that most arbitrary of times when we set down goals for ourselves for the next arbitrary length of time! Or to clarify, time for new year's resolutions. Last year, we didn't have a proper thread for this. In fact, the last time I recall a proper thread for this, it was back over at Shadow Vale. Or maybe I'm just remembering things wrong. But no matter! We should not have to stoop to re-using a holiday thread for this sort of thing, it deserves a thread of its own! So I wholeheartedly invite all in the community to come and share your resolutions for the coming year, and whether or not you lived up to the previous year's. And regardless of your goals (or lack thereof), I'd like to wish everyone a fantastic 2011!

Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 My goals haven't changed, but I'm getting better at realizing them. I accidentally slept through new years, though I was able to wake up early enough to take a morning run. Almost nobody else was out there, which was kind of surprising and probably a foreboding start to a lot of resolutions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dikiyoba hasn't decided on a resolution yet. This means a resolution on not procrastinating is off the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Rowen Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 My resolution is to not quit my job now that I have to enter the past 4 months of data into a new data bass that we are using (copy paste doesn't work). The pay is nice but it gets so boring sitting in an office entering numbers and fixing other peoples reports for 8 hours a day on top of 6 hours of homework.

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 My resolution is to set myself a resolution at the start of every month during 2011. I'll figure out January's in a day or two I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Since I'm so ambitious, I resolved to finish all ongoing (non-work-related) long-term projects, most of which involve my house or yard. It's a convenient way to delay facing the fact that I will fail my resolution until spring, at least. Of course, that does also include any ongoing Internet projects, soo...

That's a dangerous resolution to make in a place like this. And it will cost you your sanity, if it hasn't already. The fluffy turtles do like their tribute, you know. But we're always happy for new blood! As New Year's resolutions tend to make me feel restricted to only improve myself once a year, I made one a couple of years ago to never make them again. Thus far, it's the only resolution I've ever managed to successfully keep resolved. That said, I'd like to release BoA: Taskmaker, so that I can actually move on to some of the other projects I've had saved up over the years. But that doesn't count as a resolution; just a goal.

I've spent the last week showing off the plushie STDs I got for Christmas and sleeping next to a stuffed Cthulu head. I'm not sure I have any sanity left to steal. ...Besides. I have penguins.

Not all of us have sanity to leave at the door, after all. I'm rather fond of my particular brand of crazy. Besides, I'm not sure I could do much more than squee at the top of my lungs at fluffy turtles. Originally Posted By: Oviraptor Some antibiotics would clear those up in no time, you know. Dikiyoba. The same person who gave me plushie Chlamydia and plushie Herpes also gave me the plushie Penicillin to fix them right up. So I'm good there!

Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I was shocked when I learned koala bears were dying in swarms from chlamydia. But plushies? I know, why not? But somehow ... I'm pretty shaken up by this information. (My grandma gave me a stuffed koala when I was a little kid. I think it had real koala fur, actually, so it technically wasn't a plushie. Maybe the koala who furnished that fur died of chlamydia, though! At that age, I took no particular steps to isolate that stuffed koala from my other toy animals. I may very well have had Plushie Chlamydia Case Zero! This is again disturbing.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Of all my goals for last year, I only completed two: getting my 6-gallon blood donation pin, and building a new computer. This year, my only real goal is to make and release the scenario I meant to do for the 1/10 randomized contest. Originally Posted By: Ephesos Originally Posted By: Myself, 1 year ago My resolution for next year: Spend New Year's Eve doing something away from my family. ...dangit. Next year, I swear. I think I'll add that to my list too. Maybe a bunch of us could get together and do a "ball drop" of our own, but use a spider instead (preferably not a real one; I'm a bit arachnophobic).

Ineffable Wingbolt Aequitas Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Last year's resolutions went... poorly. Resolutions were much the same for this year: run more. Lift more. Eat less crap food. Seeing as I type this while holding a banana/chocolate chip muffin does not bode well for this year either. I'll be paying for that...

Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Addendum to my goals for 2011: Buy the Geneforge Saga CD. I had thought about doing this last year during Spiderweb's Holiday CD sale, but in the end decided to get both Avernum trilogy CDs instead.

Well-Actually War Trall Khoth Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I didn't make any resolutions last year. This year, I made one. I've already done it. Next year, who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 :necro: We seem to have forgotten this resolution thread: Resolve! Of last year's resolutions, I completed two: Be able to play viola again, and don't drop out of college. Can't say that I've met any other of my goals. The daily bible reading went to the wayside round march and as for intentionality... I intended to make this post on the first of January sooo I'm going to call that a fail. Haven't really made any new resolutions. I think if I can manage to stay in school another year that'll be good. On the upside, I'm finally getting into classes that have something to do with computers and computer languages. My individual assignments say I can create a new website or revise a pre-existing website for them... I can finally do something besides crank out a 6 page essay every week. Woot!
