Happy New Years~
So, tonight will be spent quietly, because Dark has to close; at 3 am ;D
She volunteered so that she could have Thanksgiving Eve and Christmas Eve off. (Good thing too, because of the ice storm last Thursday!)
My mom really wanted to hang out with me, so I didn't make any other plans.
We're going to make cookies =___=; I swear to god, if I never look at a cookie or pie or cake again, I will be just fine.
I want to throw up just thinking about it ;/
But, here are my New Year's Resolutions. There are quite a few, but they are all manageable. I'll start out with stating them, and then explaining them ;D
1. Eat more vegetables: Not to lose weight, because I honestly just don't care about that. I've grown happy with myself. I really just need to be healthy So, I need to stock up on cans of green beans, spinach and whatever other veggies I'll enjoy eating.
2. Get my future organized: This means look into college and sort out EVERYTHING I will need to make my career goals understandable and workable. I.E. Look into a job that won't hurt our living situation. Talk with my mother about finally replacing my car. (And hopefully this will make things easier on my love~)
3. Keep learning: Whether it's about photography, fashion, other career related things, or just about life. I need to remain open minded and neutral about everything. (How else can you learn? ;] )
4. Read more: And not just pop-culture books. I need to sink my teeth into something meaningful and stimulating. My mom is already getting me on track with our book club. I need to take it seriously, and let my mind grow!
5. Love my life: I need to continue to love my life for what it is; not for what it could be, or for what I want it to be. I am so fortunate, and I've been through a great deal of things who have made me the person I am today. I need to respect that, and just live my life.
6. Be more social: I can be quite reclusive sometimes... and that includes my online activity. I forget, or chose not to reply to people, either in text, or on myspace/twitter/lj/DA. I suck, I know, and I'm sorry. I will try my damndest to keep myself involved in everyone's lives. <3
This also means I need to make plans to hang out with people more. We will get invited places, and we will cancel, or say we will make plans and don't. I hate feeling like a fucking flake. THIS WILL CHANGE! D:
7. Get over my ridiculous fear of clowns: It will take baby steps, but I hate hyperventilating when I see a simple PICTURE of a clown. Also, some costumes at con scare me. I need to get over this as well ;/ I'm a big girl, now.
8. Accept the fact that I'm getting older: This is a MUST. I cry when I think about turning 22, and my birthday is only a month and a half away ;/ It feels like I'm already over the hill and that there is very little time left for me to complete my goals. The truth is, is that I fear aging more than death, so though it seems completely logical to me, it's just not true. I will try not to have my mid-life crisis at 22.
9. Watch more anime: Me and Dark are totally out of the loop when it comes to this. Kids and their animes now days! XD
10. Beat more video games: We have 6 consoles and hardly a game for any of them. So they don't sit there as dust collectors, we need to really buy some games and actually PLAY them!
And that's pretty much it :]
I think they are all reasonable... I just need to work on being the best person I can be, and have fun doing it! ^-^;
I hope everyone has a wonderful night! Take care and be safe! <3<3<3
