tarotgalThis year's resolutions look somewhat similar to last year's but with some additions.
Recap of some of last year's progress:
I lost a net total of 10 pounds since last Feb... I lost a ton more and then I slacked around May and gained them back since... so I need to start working out again, seriously. I made NO effort to write a novel... okay, I've got a good idea and half a page, but that's it. As far as getting into new fandoms: I did manage to finish Angel and see all of Buffy. I taped Firefly off Sci-Fi to watch as soon as I have time and I've taped Stargate: Atlantis (but missed a few episodes so I'm going to rent S1 on DVD). I started watching Horatio Hornblower (through Volume IV now) and I've seen four episodes of Farscape so far but I saw the very first episode this past Sat so I'm officially starting that now as well. I definitely released more BookCrossing books this past year (20+ in 2005 and only 3 all together in previous years) and I participated in the Christmas Ornament Exchange so that was good. I still don't know what to do with my life but getting a sort of new job in addition to my current job has been good so far.
- Lose more weight
- Make more progress on my 'fandoms I want to get into' list (Horatio Hornblower, Farscape, Firefly, Band of Brothers, Starsky & Hutch...)
- Finish a draft of a possibly publishable novel
- Release more than 25 books into the wild for Bookcrossing
- Try to do at least one thing on my "things to do before I die" list (or at least write a bigger/better list- it's only got 7 things on it right now- how pathetic!)
- Write letters to my two high school friends I've lost touch with
- Teach an adult education course or become a part-time tutor
- Practice reading people better and get better at giving them what they want from me
- Tell people more often how much I love/appreciate them
- Finish all my Strokes works-in-progress (prior to New Year's storyline)
- Give more feedback (and do so promptly)
