These were my New Years Resolutions from last year:
Get a tattoo
Have a "serious" relationship...if ya know what I mean...
Do something I said I'd never do
Stay in touch with 3,4, and 5 on my speed-dials...no matter where I end up
Not gain weight
Speak up more
Be nicer in general (less intimidating?)
Never say the phrase "I hate my life" unless its referencing the "I hate my life weekend."
Be thankful
Laugh more
See more concerts
Tell my mom how I feel
I am actually surprised how many I accomplished. I did get a tattoo, though the serious relationship/making love thing clearly didn't happen. I have changed so much this years its hard to say if I have done something I said I would never do. I have not kept in touch with Madeline, but I have kept in touch with 4,5, and 6 on my speed dial, and regularly call 3, now my Commerce bank account to check my balance. My weight has gone up and down, and I really don't fucking care. I speak up more. I rediscovered my feminist identity. It made me feel happy. I think I am nicer, though I guess that is for others to decide. I don't say I hate my life. Life is too funny, even when its awful, to hate. I am thankful for Sean and Lauren. For chocolate and feminism and for the belief that this year, will be better than the last.
I don't know if I have laughed more, I haven't seen many shows, and I don't know if I could ever tell my my mother how I feel. Maybe these can be goals for next year, though honestly I feel like I have only one real goal for 2009.
I've been ship wrecked and swimming to find a shore for so long. I want to find a shore. It doesn't have to be nice, it can still be a little fucked up, but I want to land. That's my resolution-TO LAND.
