Your New Years Resolutions

For 2008 i have a couple of them.
* Stop buying video games: I have a ton of video games, and ive become somewhat of a video game addict. i cant seem to stop, especially if i see a great bargain. fortunately, generation seven doesnt impress me as much as it should. the technology seems great, but it doesnt come across to me as being a serious need to upgrade to it, when the technology of the sixth generation suffices me just fine. it should be noted that i have about 12 consoles with close to 1,000 games..yeah.
* Lose weight: everyone needs to shed a few pounds here and there. Ill admit that i have an active gym membership that i havent exactly made the best use of. 2008 will commit me to going there on a more regular basis.
* downsize belongings and incorporate a more artistic touch: my apartment is plagued by me owning many items that i simply no longer use and/or need. everything to clothes, electronics, you name it. it would be great to downsize a lot of this, and narrow it down to only the items i truly need. sometimes i go to someones house, and it seems like that they barely own anything at all in compared to my possessions. i also want to create my own motif/theme for my home. something that adds a much needs artistic touch to my place. i am thinking seriously about a stylish black lacquer touch with a slight asian style to it. think large art with bamboo or other stylish paintings on it.
*dont buy things unless i truly need them: sometimes i find myself buying things that i really dont need. its almost like if spending money needlessly has become a sort of small hobby to me. i dont do this on a large scale, so it can really be dubbbed as wasting away my money. but i know this all adds up over time, and i want to curb it a lot.
*become more socially involved: maintain better communication through my current contacts, and gain some new friends along the way. the way i see this, communication will become a high virtue in 2008.
Shit, Fuck, Piss: I had to say that because I can on this website. (Thanks Chef!)

- Get into grad school for an MS in Marine Policy and possibly a JD on the side
- Publish something I've been writing
- Possibly acquire a girlfriend or reasonable imitation thereof
- Play more video games
That should keep me busy.

and that's about it
Remember Emu's face, people; one day it's going to be on the news alongside a headline about blowing some landmark to smithereens, and then we can all sigh and say, "She was such a normal person".....
....We'd be lying though.

Lolwut? You're in higher education, are you not? If so, what are you majoring in? Because at the university I go to, we usually just aim to pass, although that is sometimes a very challenging task, when like 2 people pass from 50 examinees. We usually shoot people who whine about not having passed an exam with a perfect mark on sight. (Especially when everyone else has failed that particular exam.)

- Get a job- one with reasonable hours, good pay and the arseholes somewhere far, far away would be preferable. My last job was as a baker's apprentice, for $5.65 AUD an hour, with a rude and up-himself old fuckwit whose frequent yelling and blaming others for his own mistakes could make even Jack Nicholson's arse cheeks pucker.
- Find a nice place and move in with my ladyfriend. Somewhere close to the uni so she doesn't have to worry about the retarded public transportation system.
- Once above has been accomplished, get a kitty. One that will be content to laze around the house all day; as opposed to this ball of hair on rockets my housemate has.
- Get back into Scions of Fate. I miss that game and if I don't feed my pet tiger soon she's going to eat me the moment I log on.
- Finally, start a savings account for those rainy days.

-Finish writing something long for a change.
-Eat more healthily.
-Exercise.
-Graduate and get the hell out of this stupid university.
-Get a decent job that makes use of my degree and skillset, while being an enjoyable challenge and room for promotions/raises.
-Head South to be closer to my girlfriend.
-Go commando more often.
-Freshen up and enhance my meager skills as a pianist.
-Recycle some of my old t-shirts and find new ones worthy of replacing said old shirts.
That should just about do it.

- Pass my driving test, ideally first time.
- Get some semblance of a permenant job. I'm actually getting temping work now, so that's a start.
-- As a mini one from those two, get a car. I have the money to buy a small reliable one, I just need the regular income for the petrol, insurance, etc, and to be able to drive it.
- Move out of my parents' house. I'm 21, goddamnit.
Also,... no I won't tell the fourth/fifth one, I've already told one person and that alone may have jinxed it. Sssh.
