Anyone bother with these? Anyone making any this year?
I typically think about the things I would like to achieve over the following year and come up with a list of the usual suspects: lose weight, get fit, read more, watch less tv, write more letters, etc. They generally last about three days.
This year however, I have decided to make one and only one resolution: No More Drama.
I've had a shit couple of years with loads of emotional turmoil and upset, and it's been almost entirely self-inflicted, because I gave one person far too much control over my happiness and wellbeing, and lurched back and forth between elation and misery depending entirely on his whims, and whether he wanted me or not. That one person, and my insane and self-sabotaging behaviour toward him, cast a shadow over the whole of 2008 and 2009. So here's to 2010 being the year I finally kick him out of my life for good, and am happy and stable. No More Drama! Hooray!
What are your resolutions going to be?

get over her, and get the toxic influence she has over my life gone once and for all. After that, things should be plain sailing.
Here's to both of us managing it! By this time next year, we won't feel anything when we think of them. Hooray!
*high fives* :yippe:
Good luck for those that do have them though
Also to try (and probably fail, again) to stop sucking my thumb.
And er, to stop leaving work until the last minute.
like i say, i just wanna carry on doing what i'm already doing really
My friend used to suck her thumb all the time as she was growing up and till she was about 23, and it affected the way that her jaw grew. She had to have an operation last year to correct it all and to stop sucking it !!
Be more organised with school work (lol)
lose a couple stone
go to more parties (which throws the first on out he window lol)
Move out.
Get that guy.
Be better with my money.
Peppermint Patty: Have you made any New Years
resolutions, Chuck?
Charlie Brown: Yes. You know how I always dread the whole year? Now
Im only going to dread one day at a time.
I also intend to cook more... or just cook at all to help my boyfriend lose weight as he eats out for every meal. Not so much new years resolutions though as I think they are lame, more just it happened to fall in place right now as I got a food chopper and cook books for christmas and I can't start yet as the kitchen floor is being redone but should be done by tomorrow.
Still loosing that 15kgs by June.
Save money better.
Get a brit passport.
And finally - be HAPPY with myself. Stop relying on the opposite sex to dictate my happiness.
me, feck all tbh I am happy with my life,
Its a good time to reflect on things and hopefully people will think of taking up something that makes them happy and in doing so, bring about positive change into their lives.... rather than just "giving up" something which seems quite negative to me.
I'm just hoping for a happy and healthy 2010 for my friends, family and me
And by god, I will get the girl this year.
To keep up to date and go to as many rock n roll/rockabilly gigs as I can, get involved in the scene and meet as many rockers, greasers, rockabillies, teds as I can!
to be able to do pull ups again
