So what are your New years Resolutions?

Me I'm going to be less understanding of those who differ with me. I'm going to call them names and belittle them until they agree to my views. I'm going to follow them from thread to thread and harass them until they admit to my absolute superiority of intellect and the rightness of my beliefs. In other words I shall join the elite here and enjoy the knowledge that I am correct in my convictions.

Gotcha. i'm just going to keep on being me.

You try to piss in my Wheaties and I'll move the bowl and laugh at you. You try to shove your views down my throat by illogical arguments and spamming I'll just keep chuckling at your vain attempts to prove your superiority.

My advice to all is to just be you and try to help those around you. That's what I'll keep doing.

I;m resolved to plot the end of every story before I start the editing.

Happy New Year! :)
 
As do I.
However, I ain't planning to go this coming year; I want ot see my new Great-grand-daughter.

Sweet.
Darling, stay away from the sweeties.
 
Graduate in the fall with my current GPA and my sanity.
 
Ive made a few, the first of which is to rededicate myself to the arts and make sure Im working at least an hour a day. I have a couple that are my secret and one that will make a permanent change in my life in the next few months... the last one is well on its way.
 
First on my list is rehabbing my Spanish skills. I havent used Spanish in 40 years, so I'm taking an online Spanish course of lessons and reading Spanish novels.

2. Learn how to make whiskey.

3. Continue to improve my horror-sex stories.
 
Start writing again, now that I have found a method of publishing my work while leaving the fucking professionals out of it.
 
I usually don't make any New Year's Resolutions because I never stick with them, but this year I think I'm going to try my hardest to quit smoking.

I've heard some horror stories about Chantix, so I won't go that route. Gonna try cold turkey first or the patch.

After the nasty head and chest cold I had a couple weeks back, I'm still coughing up some nasty stuff. It's time to quit.

I quit 10 years ago....cold turkey. I smoked 30 years. The first month is tough, and it gets easier after that.

I am on Chantix. It does work, but you need to be well aware of the side effects. For me, the side effects were not as dangerous as if I kept smoking. It was literally killing me. I'm now 38 days or so quit using Chantix. I've had some seizures, nausea and vomiting. I haven't had the psychotic break that some have had while on it. But, I'm in contact with a counselor once a week and can see the Dr. the moment I need to. (She is in the same place as my counselor...so if counselor sees something not right, she can get me into the Dr. immediately.)

I'll admit, even taking the Chantix, I still crave, but I've made it through several stressful things, where I was offered a ciggie that if I wasn't taking Chantix and so aware of how much money I'm saving not smoking, how much healthier I am in just 38 days or so I would have started back up. It is still up to the person to stay quit. The Chantix helps.

Sorry for derailing the Resolution thread. I don't make resolutions. Never have, never will.

The SO took a long weekend, patches and lots of naps to quit cold turkey. She still chews the gum, which is expensive, but worth it. Now she has to quit the gum. The best result is since she quit, no major colds, no sinus infections.
 
My resolution is to reduce the number of possessions I have cluttering up the house.

That is the same as last year's. I suppose I've reduced by about 5% during the year, but that hasn't made much impression.

I saw an advert for 50,000 books for Kindle, Ipad etc for £29.95. I was tempted, because I could reduce my library substantially, but I don't like reading books on a screen.

My library is down to between 5,000 and 6,000 from a peak of 25,000, but there is still scope for more reductions. Do I need hard copies of Punch magazine for the whole of the 19th Century?

Tobacco, along with regular intakes of alcohol, are probably responsible for my long life and certainly accounts for most of the pleasures that one can indulge in privately.

Thus, I resolve to keep smoking my two packages per day and maintain my blood alcohol level at an even keel.

And I do resolve to use Lulu.com to publish a leather-bound, gold leaf book of 100 selected poems that I can send to my offspring as memorabilia.

I would toss in, 'finish five novels' that are, 'works in progress', hoping against hope that I have enough hours and days left....but then, hell, nobody knows that, now, do they?

Happy 2011 to all!

Well, since tobacco seems to have caused me some grief, I plan on staying off it for the coming year.
I plan on getting fitter and arriving at next Christmas in a much trimmer state than I currently suffer.
Oh, and I plan on writing more, too.
 
Same one I made a couple of years a go. To just be me, to live my life so I can be happy, To live my life the way I want right or worng. Sure I understand you have to take the good with the bad.

I spent all of my life try to please everyone around me to be what the people around me thought I should be. Work the jobs that they thought I should. Only to find I could never live up to what I thought everyone expected of me.
 
A resolution which I'm calling a professional goal, to do whatever it takes to get this grad position/internship, no matter much work or how inconvenient it is. If I try as hard as I possibly can and still don't make it, at least I can't blame myself.
 
Made one about 20 years ago and kept it every year since. "Never make another New Years resolution"!
Best one and only one I ever lept!
 
Hmmm

To run the 10k Bridge to Brisbane in under 60 mins (achievable but lots of hard work)

To be graded as an 'Intermediate' pole dancer and maybe be able to complete a full routine that is worth performing in public. (also achievable but not as likely)

To finish a novel.
