It's nearly February. I didn't get sick this winter. I haven't gotten a speeding ticket all month. I've retroactively claimed these as now completed resolutions.

Did you make any?

Comments

[dieneidio]

That is not at all how resolutions work.

(Yes.)

[obscuronoctis]

Says who?

(Fascinating.)

[dieneidio]

Says me. You can't resolve not to get sick in the first place, that's silly and so's your face.

(You are intrigued.)

[obscuronoctis]

My face.

(Not in the least.)

[dieneidio]

Silliest thing in the world. 9/10 people I just invented for my statistics agree. 10th could not be reached, probably agrees.

(Rubbish, you're dying to know.)

[obscuronoctis]

You have surpassed yourself in ridiculousness.

(See above.)

[dieneidio]

Do I get a prize for that? Inquiring minds.

(You're just jealous I made resolutions in the first place.)

[obscuronoctis]

The comfort of my undying exasperation.

(Oh. You got me.)

[dieneidio]

I am essential to your mental health, you said.

(Every time, champ.)

[obscuronoctis]

Is that what I said, now.

(So what was it?)

[dieneidio]

That's exactly what you said.

('Be good'. Also, 'do something new every month', which thus far has been a breeze!)

[obscuronoctis]

That is not what 'exactly' means.

(You're always good.)

[dieneidio]

Who died and made you the dictionary?

(I could probably stand to be a smidge better.)

[obscuronoctis]

Noah Webster.

(Eh.)

[dieneidio]

The point is that I am still right.

(Next year I'm going to resolve to become a rock star, though.)

[obscuronoctis]

I contest this strongly.

(Oh, god.)
