.020 - a new resolution? maybe?

Jan 01, 2011 17:32

Well, I'll just say it.

I'm bored. We're all doomed because that phrase is cursed. Whatever. Moving on.

Anyone want to play a game of chess or cards? Pool? Fucking shuffleboard? Spoons? Anything?

[Private to Shego]Make three resolutions that will help you on the road towards graduating. I'm going to pick one and that's the one you'll have to ( Read more... )

(not) granting the green one favors, time to warden, idle hands are the devil's playground, my social skills are lacking

I like how you only crack out the actual Wardening when you've run out of other things to do.

Private captain_jtkirk January 2 2011, 00:54:41 UTC

I thought I'd give you a nice break for the holiday before I started riding your ass again.

Start resoluting.

Private gotgreenmagic January 2 2011, 00:57:49 UTC

The noun 'resolution' derives from the verb 'to resolve', there's no such word as 'resoluting'.

Private captain_jtkirk January 2 2011, 01:03:28 UTC

How fascinating.

Re: Private gotgreenmagic January 2 2011, 01:07:27 UTC

...

Look, how specific do you need these to be? Are we talking general stuff like 'cut down on the sarcasm' or quantifiable stuff like 'hug a puppy every week' or what?

Private captain_jtkirk January 2 2011, 01:10:16 UTC

I would like them to be actual things to work on and not you just handing out sass to make me shut up.

Private gotgreenmagic January 2 2011, 01:16:40 UTC

I'm not handing out sass, I have literally no idea what you want from me here.

Private captain_jtkirk January 2 2011, 01:20:52 UTC

Three things you actually want to change this year. Like an actual resolution. And things that are actually realistic here. You can't spend all day on the beach, sorry.

Re: Private gotgreenmagic January 2 2011, 01:29:50 UTC

I don't want to change anything. I've changed too much already. If I want to change anything then I want to be changing back.

I don't know who I am any more.

And what if I can't? What if you pick something and by the end of the year it's not different enough? How are you going to test this exactly?

Private captain_jtkirk January 2 2011, 01:33:19 UTC

It's not a test. It's a place to start.

Private gotgreenmagic January 2 2011, 01:35:41 UTC

Sixteen months and only now are we coming to 'a place to start'? Do you seriously think I haven't changed at all since I first showed up here?

Private captain_jtkirk January 2 2011, 01:38:20 UTC

Would you quit twisting my words? I never said you haven't changed. Everyone has room for improvement.

Private gotgreenmagic January 2 2011, 01:51:39 UTC

Sure, but calling this a 'place to start' like I got assigned to you yesterday is more than a little -

Ugh, whatever. I don't know what'll help me on the road towards graduating, okay? As far as I can see, doing all the 'normal person' stuff like dating and having friends is making me worse.

Private captain_jtkirk January 2 2011, 02:05:54 UTC

A place to start for the new year, Shego.

Making you worse how?

Private gotgreenmagic January 2 2011, 02:27:19 UTC

If you can't work it out for yourself

It doesn't matter. I was resoluting, right? Right. Here's your list:

1) Develop or rediscover or - I don't know - somehow acquire a new skill. A hobby, I guess. Something I don't know how to do right now that isn't do to with my previous employment.

2) Teach somebody how to do something. Again, okay, no hotwiring cars or breaking vaults open or anything. Something constructive.

3) Work out what I'd do with my life and how I'd go about it, if I was doing what I do now.

I can't believe how lame this is and how lame you are. You might as well say I can pick out three kinds of rope but you're still gonna ask me me hang myself.

Private captain_jtkirk January 2 2011, 02:42:39 UTC

I like the first one.
