This year, when I toasted bona-fide, actual crystal glasses (they never trust me with glasses!) filled with Nature's Nectar Sparkling Grape Juice with my family, and Rem's boyfriend who might as well be family, I actually made resolutions. I haven't done that in ages, mostly because within the first two days, they DIE. Especially any ones involving self-control.
This year I made two.
Resolution No. 1: Two words. Rocket Boots. .....long story.
Resolution No. 2: No longer will I allow myself to be at the mercy of whatever random idea pops into my head. I will draw/write what I want, when I want, and my imagination will be at my mercy. And I will do it in full consciousness of what is being drawn and/or written, even when the process is purely mental.
Now obviously the first one was mostly for kicks. I doubt rocket boots will come into my possession any time soon, but hey, if the opportunity presents itself, we all know I at least told myself I was gonna take it up. The second resolution was actually serious. I really would like to get a handhold on my inspiration bursts, which usually happen at twelve to five in the morning, and almost always when I have/plan to get up early the next day.
Guess which one didn't even make it to three o'clock of the New Year?
Yup. Two-thousand-and-eight, and I'm still up at the crack of dawn because the Brain wants to drabble and doodle, and OH LOOK! Someone posted the Transformers: Animated premiere I missed! Let's watch!
-headdesk-
At least I managed to not get drunk off the non-alcoholic beverage this year?
I'm off to a great start? :D
i have no self-control,
please stop me now,
resolution,
new year
