it's been a good year
Okay. Loads to do. It's been a fabulous holiday, aside from a minor illness, and I've resolved to stop shopping for clothes that are inappropriate for the season (really, I'm sincere; this time around, I mean it). Of course that means I've gone over my budget on my birthday on skirts and frills. You see, one is dependent on the other (because they are attached), and guilt never comes cheap. I had a celebratory dinner with my extended family, which involved expensive Sushi that came in small portions (now there's another codependent relationship) and a homemade banana cake, blueberry muffins, and cheesecake/cupcake (it was baked in a cupcake holder). For the first time ever, I've spent New Year's Eve with my friends, and it only took eight years for it to happen. Here's my 2010 flashback: first time we ice-skated together, first anime convention, first picnic, first time applying to grad school, first publications, first time using Facebook, first time writing slash, first club night, first drinks together, first birthday sleepover. I'm sure there's many more first times, but wow, I can only hope that 2011 will follow in the same vein. It's a tough year to follow, 2011, but I have faith in you!
Right, now on to my immediate agenda:
1. Edit mazes
2. Copy edit for magazine
3. Write a story
4. Prepare grad school reimbursement (words cannot describe how I loathe paperwork)
5. Finish Maiden fanfic
6. See NYC Ballet's production of Nutcracker and Swan Lake
7. Sketch more Roman nudes in the Met (I refer to these sketches as my porn collection)
8. Polish off a few books on my reading list
These goals are more "distant", aka "Who are you kidding?"
1. Exercise more (those H&M skirts are starting feel tight round the hips)
2. Every book on the BBC list (recently read 1984; about time, too)
3. Be more on top of current events
4. Be less technologically deficient
5. WORK HARDER
Yup. Those are my resolutions. We all know how those things go down. I would totally put this damn post under a cut, except for the fear that everything would disappear. Hardly the first time lj pulled a Houdini on me.
