"I'm reading books on organization and being efficient.
I like wearing suits.
I am starting to like being older and the perks that come with it.
I like solidifying, my views and thoughts withstanding life experience.
Rocky is the new buddah. I don't care what you think!
I will spend new years eve sober and warm.
New Year, New Leaf. Blah Blah Blah.
You'll see good things in 2007."
That's how I ended 2006.
I always enjoy recapping the year, be it internally or externally.
I'm not going to lie, 2007 brought some real struggles. I'm happy to report that I'm still standing and fighting. This year also gave some real gems. I'm forever amazed at the goodness of life and the people around me.
I always bitch about how stupid resolutions are each year. And each year, I can't help but make a few. Some I actually keep, i.e. "Have more sex" (this was easy since I was just winding down a long distance relationship where I only got to see the other person a few times a year), "Go to the Gym", "Be healthier", etc.
So, over the past year I've developed some great habits: going to the gym every day (or at least five or six times a week, I can't help if the place is closed on holidays), work a little less, enjoy life a little more.
So, I'm capable of making changes and sticking to my guns. This is what I would like to see in 2008:
1. Happiness. I am going to try, really try to focus on being a happier, more pleasant individual. I'm going to be vague about how I plan on going about this, since it's such a broad and elusive goal to begin with (and/or I have no fucking clue what needs to be done at this juncture to procure this).
2. Friendship. I'm fucking a lottery winner in this category, but I need to start giving back a lot more. I hope to solidify and strengthen my bonds with my home-slices.
3. Health. I'm going to keep working on this. Being slimmer and more active helps, but it isn't the be all, end all. I have some seriously jacked things going on. Nancy Drew, MD on the fucking case.
4. Career. Can a sarcastic, antisocial gal like me's calling truly be customer service and/or anyone's assistant? I am constantly at odds with my nature and feel like I am role-playing. Let's be honest, being a thespian in high school was a bit of a fluke. I'm cut out for different things. I have a machine and the tools to revamp my portfolio and take on some free lance work. 2008 may see me in a new career. or at least taking the steps to explore the possibility.
There's a lot more, but I'm lazy and my eye is infected so I have to put some gross stuff on it.
yay, new year.
