[ApeofLight]

[Trobby]

1. I will work has hard as I can to find a job.
2. I will get out of my parents' house by the end of the year, even if I have to live with someone else to do it.
3. I will either get my old computer to work again, or pull all the data that can be taken off of it from the old one to a hard drive, so I can preserve all the hard work I've done on it over the last 5 years.
5. I will be within 6 credit hours of or entirely finished with my Master's degree.

[Anuan]

1) Quit softdrink
2) Continue being AWESOME
3) Get at least 4 more swords by the end of the year
4) Attempt to hate the people surrounding me at least a little less
5) Don't kill my best friend, I need him for writing.

[Dragonrider]

@Anuan: Perhaps you should hide the last, or Feliyo will notice your plot and you'll be screwed.

Me:

1. Continue to get along better with my siblings
2. Write two pages of journal in Spanish every other day
3. Work towards publication.

I have mixed feelings about new year's resolutions. #3 in particular. Resolving to "get published" is silly. It's like putting "lose 20 pounds" or "not have any more acne"; there are ways to approach those goals, but there's a certain element that's beyond your control. So my #3 is to try and submit to agents and continue improving my writing.

[Platinum_Mongoose]

1. Read Dune.
2. Get more ground on my webcomic.
3. Do something with my post-college life.

[Recaiden]

1. Go to college
2. Make a pie out of skittles
3. Try to find some meaning in life
4. Try to be less aggressive
5. Have less self-pity
6. Practice guitar more often

Oh, he's got the same agenda
You have good resolutions. I used to have 'get along better with my family' each year, but then I gave up and moved away. Now we all get along better, cause we don't see each other

Oh, I'm going to add 'ensure that I carry at LEAST one of my Aikido or Fencing courses for the entire year.

[the doomed one]

1) eat more pie
2) exercise more
3) attempt to get better grades

you know the usual stuff

[Lioness]

I have a couple. Probably more than I can keep

• Quit softdrink (and all you guys doing it too, I might need help)
• Edit my NaNo (It will be done! I wont cry every time I look at it...)
• Write the novel that's rattling around in my head, and has been, since NaNo started (preferably before November)
• Get a TER (Tertiary Entrance Ranking) of over 90, preferably over 95 (where the maximum is 99.95, and the average is probably 70-80)

The last two, I'm not so sure about. Like DeeRee, the last one is not something I can automatically do. I have to really work towards it, and work hard. Studying becomes a priority.
The third I'm not sure about because of the fourth. It depends how much work I need to put in to get 90-95% in each piece of work I put in. If I get it easily, I'll have time to write. If not, then I'll get a lot less done.

But the other two, I will do. I'm sick of forgetting my resolutions by the end of January.

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

Work on procrastination.
Actually work on some of those crazy costuming/story ideas.
Get more sleep.
TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!

[Matticus]

don't fail school
don't die
be honest
regret nothing

[Ninja Chocobo]

1. I will work on my procrastination.... eventually... try again next year

Mastery is achieved when one is able to put off procrastinating until later.

I shall find a diet that works.

[potatocubed]

1. Finish six personal projects this year. This was my resolution last year and I failed, so let's try again.

2. Buy no new video games until I have completed half the ones on my list of games I own but haven't completed.

[Ishmael]

Hmm...this is tough, since I actually want to follow up and accomplish my goals.

1) Be safer. I nearly died this year, and I don't want to be in the hospital or be on crutches ever again. So no more free climbing/falling off cliffs!

2) Continue physical therapy and get to 100%: I'm sick of being a cripple, and I really want to be back in the physical shape that I was in before my accident last July. So, keep up with the therapy and keep on pushing myself to go harder, faster, stronger...and hopefully not reinjure myself in the process.

3) Continue making new friends and integrating myself into the LGBT community at college.
3.5) Find a boyfriend!

4) Keep a 3.7+ GPA.

[Altaria87]

1) Get a Black Belt in Taekwondo
2) Do well in exams
3) Attempt to regain my DnD book collection
4) Get a girlfriend

[Kjata]

1) Quit doing MDMA
2) Go to church more often

[Zincorium]

1680x1050

Oh, the other kind? I've never done that. And it doesn't make much sense to start now.

[Setra]

My resolution is.. to come up with a good resolution for next year.

[SilverSheriff]

1. Get a Job
2. Buy a bicycle.
3. Ride bicycle
4. ???
5. Profit (and fitness)
6. ???
7. Waste Five-Hundred dollars at Gencon.

[Ninja Chocobo]

1. Buy a bicycle.
2. Ride bicycle

I would so do this if I didn't live in the middle of a sine wave.

[The Dark Fiddler]

1. Have better luck with relationships (not just boyfriend/girlfriend types, family and friend types too!)

[Ilena]

Hmmm Myself,

1. Send away for my medical stuff that i was supposed to do 2 months ago (was going to do it yesterday but forgot ....... easy one!)
2. Excerize more so i can run with my horses.
3. Ride at least twice a week during the week, or at least work with one of my horses.
4. Go forward and do something new at least once in the year, eg. Learn to play the violin, go diving, whale watching, travel, get a new job (depending on economy), start working with maile, start blacksmithing, just something new and different as ive done litterally nothing new or learned any new skills (aside from horse related) in the last 3 years.

Hmmm ... thats about it for this year ... hopefully ill actually stick to this!

[ghost_warlock]

Get a new desk calendar.
Continue my exercise routine.
Gain 10 pounds.
Eat my weight in calamari.
Pay off that loan I've been paying on for 2 years.
Add at least 3 new friends on Facebook who aren't family members.

[GrlumpTheElder]

Me and my brother have the resolutions to stop annoying each other. There is a £5 prize for whichever one keeps going for longest...

...Must ...resist...

[Quincunx]

I would so do this if I didn't live in the middle of a sine wave.

The precision of this phrase brightened my day.

One-time resolutions (Deadlines):
Edit a story of 20,000+ words, not my own (September)
Fit and sew one wardrobe capsule to RTW standard (December)
Complete legal name change (delayed start; USA, July; Ireland, November)

Ongoing resolutions (Rate of repetition):
Get biannual hair cut and style (February; September)
Hail a hoodie! or at least say something longer than 'hello' (weekly)
Grasp the hands of someone who mocks me (whenever it happens)

What drinks are the people who want to give up soda going to drink instead? Going straight back to water isn't for everyone.
