2G5-12: Resolutions

Post by Damien »

Simple enough one.
It's a tradition that is believed to have originated in Babylonian times and one that many people still try their best to stick to every year... for about 3 days.

If you've made one today's the day you've probably given up the idea so what was it that you wanted to change in 2G6?

We should all resolve to not let SG die as bad as it did over the holidays.

It's refreshing to see so many people on again... :E

The internet died basically.

I've made a few.
1. Drink more coffee.
2. Give up smoking (I don't smoke but if I do I'll give up straight away)
3. Wake up before 11am everyday (if I sleep. Falling asleep at 11:01am after not sleeping the entire night is fine).

When I was very young and in school my then 'friend' told me that walking over three consecutive manhole covers on the pavement was bad luck, so...
4. Stop being superstitious about that and stop avoiding them.
5. Break all of my resolusions in week one.

It involves me learning a language and if possible going to the language's country at least once.

I only have three!

1.) stop buying starbucks cuz no money. ;(
2.) have better work ethic for this year - procrastination still allowed, just not as often...and not on big projects.
3.) stop wearing the same two pairs of jeans over and over.

After a week now the only thing I haven't done is drink coffee.
I did have a cigarette but I'm guessing I'm not having anymore so I have given up. Mightly bad for you those things. I've stopped being wary of the pavement and I've started to wake up before 11am and staying up despite going to bed at 4am on most nights.

So I haven't technically broken any of my resolutions. If I keep up with 4 hours a sleep a night I'm definitely going to need more coffee.

Is this a list for you, or are you guessing my list? If it is the latter, it is scarily accurate... :o

My resolution this year was to resolve not to break my New Year's resolution this year. I'm currently biding my time trying to figure out if breaking such a statement is even possible.

Well, it was either that or to resolve to look at every single female that walks by me on campus. It might seem like a tall order, but it sure is easy to meet your resolution when you resolve to do things you're probably going to do anyways ;)

I've kept my resolution :ruroken
Definitely ate less nachos in 2G6 than in 2G5 :o

...I think I should give up on tequila in 2G7 but for some reason I think this one wouldn't work :heh
Anyways, new year is still in over 2 months so I have plenty of time to think of a proper resolution :upsd
