Your resolution should be to ride a unicycle or walk on stilts.
I don't know about a word, but I liked that idea when I saw it too. I need a good word for my year...
Also I have been trying to do those things in my journal too. I think that it has made me enjoy posting more, because I feel like its interactive and not just broadcasting. The next thing I want to figure out is how to encourage my friends to interact with each other more in comments--because sometimes I'm much more excited about the spinoff conversations that take place than in being an active participant.
I have walked on stilts before! In fact when I was a kid I had a pair that I built myself. I would like to ride a unicycle! I just don't know anyone who has one I could borrow to ride. Hmm.
1) Meet person with unicycle. 2) Steal unicycle. 3) ??? 4) PROFIT!
And I agree! I learn so much more about the people who read my journal when I make an active effort to interact with them, even when they are not my closest friends. I used to use LJ very differently, more like a place to plan things and leave messages for my friends, and now I mostly use Facebook for that which means the way I use LJ has changed.
I also think it is awesome when other people start having discussions in comments! People need to do that more but I don't know if it's something you can encourage or just a type of personality.
But I don't want you to steal it. Also, I need to learn how to ride it at some point. Or, well, I actually know all of the theoreticals of how to ride it and even some beginner lessons, I just need my muscles and balance to cooperate with my brain.
I would love to walk on stilts. I think they would be way awesome. It might be something I put on my list of hobbies to try. Because I love circus arts.
I was definitely going to do a 1.) Item 2.) Related item 3.) ??? 4.) PROFIT resolution for you, but I see that you've taken care of that. :) Word? Obbligato!
And so as to not comment a bazillion times on this entry... THANK YOU! This post was totally inspirational to me. I'd love to make my LJ a little more interactive and learn a lot more from my LJ friends.
Aw, you are welcome! It is something I have thought about a lot and considered how I feel other people make their livejournals into welcoming and interesting "places."
I looked up obbligato because I didn't know what it meant and I am not sure how one would use it as a meditative word, except to mean "follow the rules exactly" and I don't really think that is a philosophy that fits in with my personal principles. Did you have a different way of seeing it?
Oh, ha ha, I just misunderstood the idea of the Word of the Year. It's always the same piece of music, and it's often a solo or with one instrument really carrying the piece. It's great to meditate BY--they're always consistent. Sorry!

I don't have my stilts anymore! But I do know how to both walk on them and build them, so we could do that.
