lokifanHere are my New Year's Resolutions! There are twenty. This is a lot, but while I know some people prefer to have one or two resolutions and really focus, I prefer to have more to focus on. Generally it means when I’m failing at one, I grab desperately to fix another and it all comes out better than if I’d only had a few.
Last year I had ten resolutions. I succeeded at four. Not bad, especially considering the crucial one succeeded really well. Last year I resolved to write 200 words a day. It came out as 360 words a day on average.
1. Go to every lecture and seminar.
2. Get a job.
3. Pay off my credit card bill.
4. Eat more red meat. Failing that, remember to take your iron pills every day. If not, when you give blood this semester you will faint and it will be embarrassing. YOU ARE ANAEMIC STOP FAILING AT DEALING WITH IT. IT’S NOT EVEN HARD TO FIX.
5. Write 500 words a day.
6. Do 2 hours of exercise a week.
7. Be helpful and active on the Pride committee.
8. Lose a pound a week.
9. Go to at least one Creative Writing Society session a week.
10. COMPLETE MY KINKFEST FIC ON TIME, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.
11. Start volunteering in a charity shop again.
12. Join work on the sitcom at Livewire.
13. Post one fic (NOT a ficlet) a month.
14. Go to two No2ID events.
15. Go to three poetry etc nights.
16. Write 500 words of original fic a week.
17. Keep up with my flist.
18. Get involved in copy-editing The Project.
19. Make the Secret Project (that some of you know about) really cool.
20. Stop buying so many shoes. I need a pair of waterproof flats, and new Converse; that’s it. I do not need new high heels. I currently own three pairs of high-heeled boots, four pairs of stilettos, four pairs of non-waterproof flats, and two pairs of kitten heels. And some designer trainers which proved less than waterproof in snow. And two pairs of slippers. I DO NOT NEED MORE SHOES.
No, not even the zombie-teeth stilettos from Irregular Choice. You are not spending £50 on shoes.
Btw, can I just be sort of smug-slash-surprised? We don’t have weighing scales at Miss Godfrey's House of Queers, so the last time I weighed myself was August. I've been trying to eat well and do exercise this semester. Eating well’s been good (except for eating red meat). However, UEA’s gym is expensive and far away, so that’s been faily. I've also been hitting the Christmas food hard. When I weighed myself I was kind of expecting to be the same or slightly heavier than I was in August.
Half a stone lighter (ie a stone less than at Azkatraz).
FTW!

Date: 2010-01-04 03:41 pm (UTC)Shall we make a pact? You mail me your deadline, I mail you mine, and we
nagcheck in on each other once the time comes closer? I'm serious, it would help me a lot. No pressure. Whatever is, is. But to know someone will ask me whether I'm done, will making me finishing it in time more likely. :Dno subject

Date: 2010-01-04 09:39 pm (UTC)And I can totally relate with you on the shoes bit. Because of all the sales going on over the Holidays, I ended up buying Three pairs of sneakers (2 which I never wear) and seven pairs of boots. Who the hell needs seven pairs of boots? More, I still walk outside, see a nice pair of shoes, and WANT.
It's not healthy, I tell you. Thank god I'm not one for Heels (weak bones + klutz + heels = Mistake) or else I'd have a load of them, too. They're so pretty. <3
Anyways, good luck with all your resolutions!

Date: 2010-01-05 12:40 am (UTC)Heels are SO PRETTY. I had to force myself to buy the flats I do own, because I often like flats but rarely feel feel the SO GORGEOUS MUST HAVE I feel about a great pair of stilettos. But I need flats to walk forty minutes to campus.
Then the flats turned out to get soggy in the rain. :( I live in England, this is a PROBLEM.
Thank you!
