01.Jan.2009 Sometimes, I need what only you can provide…

Your absence.

Hahahaha just joking. I found the phrase earlier on from a blog that has lots of sarcastic and witty phrases/quotes. In any case…

Happy happy new year! I hope you’ve been enjoying yourself so far, whatever you’re doing. As for me, well, I suppose lazing around reading fanfiction and eating m&ms is a good way to enjoy a new year, eh? Heh.

Well, since it’s a new year, there’s resolutions and goals to made, and hopefully, accomplished at the end. Seeing New Year’s resolutions already posted up on several of the blogs I read is inspiring me to make my own. Well, here goes nothing!

——————————-

2009 New Year’s Resolutions
1. Knit down my stash to half its current weight. At the moment, it’s worth 6kg so that means 3kg of yarn to go!

2. Really put in the effort to study. Aka, read up before lectures, actually work on projects, etc. And bring my grades up.

3. Write at least 2 stories a month. Can be anything. Fanfiction, angsty originals, novels, etc. One of them must be either HP/DM or HP/SS and uploaded to FF.net or whatever other fanfiction archive.

4. Actually “work” by finaaaally putting up those hand-dyed yarn on Etsy for sale. Need to support yarn habit and save for er.. rainy days/a DSLR like Canon 450D/buying films for my Holga/books = basically my spending money. (eek!)

5. Read (at least lah!) 2 “real” books a month. Skimming, flipping pages, reading fanfiction does NOT count as reading real books. Note to self. Important.

6. In November, participate in Nanowrimo and write at least 25k words. (I am realistic. It won’t be easy reaching 50k!)

7. Do something nice for someone (anyone) everyday. Can be holding the door open as they walk through, saying thank you to the cashier, not grumbling at yet another chore, or sharing something (that I don’t want to share) with someone, etc. And being nice to my sister. (eeee.)

8. Don’t spend time on laptop all the time! Freak ah? Addiction/slavery to internet must GO! Therefore: Sleep by 1am, use only from 12pm (on free days).

9. Eat more veggies and less meat? Er. Sounds like a bad resolution since eating chicken is my favourite.

9. Update my blog at least twice once every week.

10. Get out and about more! Staying at home, stuck in front of a laptop, or reading waaay too much is really a pain in the butt. Literally. Stuff that can be done: Photography, er, meeting up with friends (old and new), people watching, drawing and maybe even chilling in cafes! Hmm. Sounds fun.

——————————-

Hmm. These sound like workable resolutions. Although they somewhat look familiar.. Might have made resolutions like these before. Ah well. I’m off to do something. Anything, really. Getting off my butt. Number 8 in effect already.
