Happy New year, everybody!

Sooooo... what will this new year be like? Same as always? Full of good intentions at the beginning, and then we go back to normal by February? Well, then - so be it! What are YOUR good intentions this year? In other words:

WHAT ARE YOUR NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS?
 
Mine:

  1. I will exercise more.
  2. I will look for - and get me - a better job!
  3. I will look for a better apartment (ie one in an area without murder and drunk fights every Saturday).
  4. I will get that driver's license.
  5. I will loose weight.
  6. I will turn my NaNo-story into a manga comic book and actually get it published.
  7. I will win NaNo AGAIN.
  8. I will eat more fruit.
  9. I will try to make more friends AND take better care of those I already have.
  10. I will - and this year, I SWEAR I will do it! - win the Literotica Survivor Contest. Beware...

Well, I don't like the concept of "I will not..." because if you promise to, for instance, not eat any candy, then you'll crave candy more than ever, and finally you'll cave in and stuff your face with candy.

I prefer the "I will do my best to..." -approach. Much more positive way of thinking, and therefor easier to keep.
Also note that I've written my promises in a way that's not either-or. I don't say HOW MUCH weight I'll loose. I don't say HOW MUCH fruit I'll eat. And I don't say HOW MUCH I'll exercise. That way, every little effort I put in means that I've succeeded - I can't loose!
