New Years Resolutions

[Sambellina]

We all make them and then pretend not to. These are mine, wot are yours?

Stop smoking (not likely)

Drink less (REALLY not likely)

I will not form emotional attachments to the following: alcoholics; workaholics; wife beaters; commitments phobics; gamblers; misogynists; megalomaniacs; emotional fuckwits

I will develop inner poise and sense of self as woman of substance, complete without a partner

And I will not be scared of turning 30.

[Colonel Kurtz]

Reach my target weight by mid year and keep it off for the second half of the year

Fix the backyard garden, put in the deck and the pond.

[utopian]

it sounds really stupid... but... get some.

it's been about 8 months since i've had anything remotely close to "some".

so there we are.

[edeity]

Turning 30 is overrated.

[Colonel Kurtz]

get some what?

[CMYK]

Don't be scared of turning 30.

It's neat and you get used to people calling you "old" mostly because it's finally true and you ARE old.

Shit I'm 38 this year.

I spent the last 6 hours of 2002 saying "I don't turn 30 until NEXT year".

Why did my friends lock me out of the house? :confused:

[Snowball]

I want to beat my record for the number of head jobs in one year.

Beaten around the head with something wet and fishlike isn't always that bad...

Mind you, I said the same thing on NYE in 2001, 2000, 1999, ....., and it didn't do any good :D

Edit: Of course, it really comes down to what you are going to change about your life to make your resolutions come to pass. Like bad management, we keep doing the same dumb thing and wonder why nothing changes.

I wasn't actually. But I'm quite good at it, can make ur eyes roll back into the back of ur head. My gay friend used to give me all these tips, and he's the man who should know.........

I think I should shut up now :p

Originally posted by Sambellina

Does this include head from the same person or is it from different people only.

[imp]

Lose 6 kilos

Learn to speak Spanish so my grandma in Spain doesn't kill me when I go back there in 2004.

Quit smoking norti stuff

:D

I also want to get my Dive Masters license

Give us a breakdown.

But if you count how many time you get head from the same person then you are v.sad! Doesn't a g/f just do it everyday *shrugs*

work more

:eek:

[Snowball]

Well the year started of slowly.
but gathered momentum mid year and the end of 2001 ended with a big blow.

exact figures i am still trying to work out.
I am working on head from different people too.

oi phuck you! :p waiting is fucking hard work, i did it for 7 years.
It takes a lot of control and skill to stop telling customers like edeity to piss off and get fucked. :D

[Colonel Kurtz]

daz why i didn't do it. It was safer behind the bar because customers had the bar between them and my fist. Besides, Utop has said before that he works as a waiter. I wanted to see his reaction but I think he's gone away :D

I reckon that if you have worked in the hospitality industry at any stage you should be awarded a medal

[Sambellina]

I worked in a pub on London but it was my local so it was more like pulling beers for my friends. It was good because I could "collect glasses" and my friends always had a pint on the table for me so I could walk past and have a sneaky pint and cigarette.

Aaahhhh those where the days - I might go back this year. Hhhmmmmm, another resolution maybe???

[Nandragon]

First off...

CMK can't be the old fart here! I and Angel are the old farts here!
And as for turning 30! pffffttt! Thirty ain't NOTHING!

Words of wisdom! remember this 'cause when ur 40 you'll wish you knew it at 30!

In your teens you thought you were indestructable and knew it all!
In your twenties, you still thought you knew it all but were finding out that you weren't indestructable
In your thirties you realized that you just thought you knew it all and now ur wondering why your body aches in the morning and why can't you sleep all day like you did when you were younger!
In your fourties *ding ding* you now know that you never knew shit, still don't know shit and don't care to know it all!
Your body is giving up, your back hurts, your bladder can't hold as much. If ur a guy you wonder why your balls are hanging lower! and now can't get it up 2 or 3 times a day.
If ur a girl gravity has also been unkind to you and your boobs, your waking up in the middle of the night sweating, and you want to get forked ALOT, and OFTEN, problem is...men ur age don't!

So turning 30? Pppppfffftttttt!


2nd....WTF??? Kelph? This needs explaining...your embroidery?
pay off restoring my embroidery

[utopian]

either he's got some embroidery he's done over the years that looks good but needs touching up...

or his UPHOLSTERY (on couches and stuff) needs redoing.

either that or it's been repaired and needs to be paid for

[MisterBishi]

First off, when you guys were talking about waiting... yep, I thought you meant waiting for a job, although it was probably snowball having waited for seven years that reinforced my initial take on things.

As for my resolutions... I will stop smoking nasty cigarettes of death and see more live bands.

In fact, I've never been to the Glastonbury or Reading festivals so I should do at least one of the two this year, maybe an Event Idea for the Uk geeks?

[kleph]

i own an embroidery sewn by my great-grandmother that is just more than a century old and is costing me about $1,500 (American) to restore.

Hey! Thanks for reminding me. :mad: :D

We're only old farts in here ... in a retirement home, we'd be whippersnappers - it's all relative. :)

As for the rest of the post ... too true and well said. :)

[Nandragon]

I'll be 41 in Feb. And you Angel?

I actually thought that I was 29 for 3 years in a row! My father finally brought it to my attention and I realized that I missed my 30 & 31st birthday!

[Sambellina]

Point taken - I will no longer worry about turning 30.

My 30th birthday is going to be a damn good day - selected friends and I going up to the Hunter Valley for a wine "tasting" day in the vineyards. :D

In other words I'm going to get pissed!!

Contrary to rumour, I'm not actually 21. :D

Nan, I'll be 43 in September - and damn proud to have made it thus far. :)

Does that officially make me the oldest in here? I think maybe grasshopper may be a bit older? *hopes*

[Lina]

Resolutions to date:

1. Let my mum & da know how much I appreciate them. It scares the hell out of me that they are getting older & it may be possible that I wont get the chance to do so.

2. Attend my little sisters wedding without rolling my eyes at the corniness of the ceremony & be supportive instead

3. Save all my dollar for my os trip this year

4. Find a very very very good person to look after my beloved dog whilst away for the year! :(

If i remember the pecking order correctly, you are above the lowesdt of the low, the cleaners, above the next tier which is the dishhands, and because you are in the kitchen, you are above the plate carriers. You are hey diddle diddle, right in the middle, below the barmen and the chefs.

:D

[utopian]

yeh, so? i'm 18.

most people i go to uni with either don't have a job, or quit it after a few weeks because it was killing their social life.

i don't see me cooking any time soon, but as i probably won't be going back to uni this year, i'm going to be looking for a job outside the food industry.

i wouldn't mind moving somewhere other than brisbane. once i've got that sorted out (hell, i might stay in brisbane), i'll do a bachelor of applied science (maths) or a bachelor of mathematics, or whatever it is that the course is called where i am.

[boozer]

good point - i thought the goldfish was fairly well adjusted, til i got home on sunday and found him dead michael hutchence style, with the pebbles reading "you drove me to this"

maybe a resolution of mine should be to never own another pet or father a child....

[Sambellina]

Yes - it was added yesterday in other threads. Thought it was about time I added it to the Resolution thread.

I haven't met any hot chicks that want to take me up on my offer yet :(

I'm going to Newtown tonight though - that place is swarming with chicks with short hair :)

[geggle]

I just realized that after all my posts in this thread, I haven't posted my new years' resolutions! Not quite fair that, since I've been poking fun at everyone else.

So here is my meagre list of resolutions (in no particular order):[list=1] Have sex
Get a girlfriend
Learn to weld
Finish my woodbead project (scout thing)
Get an amateur radio license
Move out of home[/list=1]Ok, so I have no imagination.

Fire away!

[Sambellina]

I'll have what he's having.

Except #6 - I moved out of home a looooong time ago.

get more sex, eat more drugs and inhale more alcohol. Overall it should be a nicely rounded year.

[kleph]

this is a bump and a check up on everyone's progress. with a week left to go in january how are we doing?

i'm up to 2.5 miles a day with the running. i've got started on a couple of projects that will make my ex-employer look like shit. i've only spent two weekend days just sitting watching tv drinking beer. i'm keeping pretty much in track with it all.

i hope the folks that are trying to quit smoking are sticking to it. if you've fallen off the wagon why don't you use this as an excuse to get back on? i hope the folks looking to lose weight have been keeping with their diets and exercise. feel free to use this as an excuse to get back on track if that's gone awry. and all those folks aiming to get laid this year... well, i really don't want to know the details but best of luck.

[utopian]

well i've applied for a job outside food, and outside brisbane. apparently i've got an alright chance at getting it, but i don't want to get too hopeful.

i might move anyway, even if it means staying in food.

[Cassa]

My resolutions were to get a job, eat healthy and trim off the slight beer belly I've collected.

Well, I'm employed now and I'm eating more vegetables and less crap...but I'm still rounded in the middle. Guess I can't have everything :)

I haven't posted my new years resolutions, but they were to lose weight and get my life on track.
So far this year I have lost 10 kilos, and still losing.
I am still trying to get an apprenticeship (which is getting my life on track with an actual career).

[angel_b]

You've lost 10 kgs in less than a month ... um ... :eek:

I'm continuing to lose weight and eat healthily, during the weekdays anyway. Weekends continue to be a problem ... glug, glug ... oh well. :(

Well - a maximum of 2 beers/shots a day.

After that it's coke or water only.

And start exercising more....

3 weeks in I've managed to keep it so far.

[MisterBishi]

I'm still not smoking :)

[Cassa]

Well I just got back from an hour long walk, the second one for today..I feel good, and hopefully will be sleeping like a baby tonight as a result.

Quitting smoking was the NYR I didn't really think I'd start yet alone keep so I'm pretty proud that I have even cut down to smoking only every couple of weeks.

The main NYR I have to keep is not to form emotional attachments to emotional fuckwits. And that's going quite well so far :D

That is the best kind of gal. No commitment, no mental issues to deal with.

The best of both worlds!

how are the rest of you guys doin?

[geggle]

It's status update time...

1. Have sex no
2. Get a girlfriend was looking hopeful there, but no
3. Learn to weld no
4. Finish my woodbead project (scout thing) progressing well so far
5. Get an amateur radio license no
6. Move out of home not likely this year

Hmm. Not going too well huh...:rolleyes:

[kleph]

you are a sixth of the way through the year and a sixth of the way through your resolutions. sounds like you are right on track, bud.

[Sambellina]

I'm doing pretty well so far.

Stop smoking (not likely) Done it (except for the odd night out when I'll have the occassional couple when I'm drinking)

Drink less (REALLY not likely) Now, this is the surprise. Have cut down heaps and while I'm still a piss pot I'm no longer drinking much at home on my own.

I will develop inner poise and sense of self as woman of substance, complete without a partner Going well, I have no partner and I'm pretty happy. I think starting divorce proceedings has put a hold on forming any close relationships with males. Could do with some no-strings-attached sex though ;)

I will not form emotional attachments to the following: alcoholics; workaholics; wife beaters; commitments phobics; gamblers; misogynists; megalomaniacs; emotional fuckwits As per above comment, haven't formed emotional attachments with anyone. Although I have formed a couple of new friendships with males and that is the best way to rebuild trust and confidence.

And I will not be scared of turning 30 erm, I'm working on it :) I'm looking forward to my "actual" birthday celebrations, which I've already started organising.

Allthough i didn't list it, i wanted to give up smoking which i have achieved.

The first month was a eating fest as i replaced the oral fixation of smoking with food but it seems to have gone now.
I don't even get the cravings for one when i am pissed now.

I believe the 'pushing in front of geggle, while he pushes in from behind' queue is another queue all together :O


BTW: your typo 'samellina' was corrected by my spell checker as semolina (http://www.gourmed.gr/dessert-recipes/show.asp?recid=382)
as I recall its a english porridge-like dish (which may or may not be a better root than sambellina ! lol )

[Snowball]

I don't know what spelling mistake you are talking about! :p


As the rest of your post i would not know :)

[Sambellina]

Firstly, all this talk about queuing for sex reminds me of something out of Puberty Blues.

Secondly, I find it worrying that Snowball capitalises sex but not my name :rolleyes:

Thirdly, can we please not put my name, sex and porridge in the same sentence? :D ;) :p :eek:

Thank you.

SAMBELLINA, SEX and PORRIDGE are cool, not always in that order though.

As long as no stirring of porridge is involved i don't mind.

Yes, sometimes it's not always in that order - sometimes it's SAMBELLINA, PORRIDGE and SEX.

oh dear *runs away*

[imp]

ANYWAYS back on topic!!!!


NY Resolutions have failed me every year bar this one. I uite smoking ciggies YEARS ago but the weight thing was pissing me orf. I went up to a size 12 but am now on my way back to a size 10

Only 3 more kilos to go. Damn you diet.
I'm getting slower everyday by lack of sugar :p

great work but let me be the one to warn you not to let down your guard. i quit for six months once and thought i was well clean and fucked it up. i then started smoking even more than when i did in the first place. it took another four years for me to gear up for my successful run.

[Snowball]

Thanks Kleph i will keep that in mind.

[angel_b]

I can't remember what my resolutions were .... it was just *so* long ago, and I can't be stuffed going through the thread. :D

But I have lost weight and am intending to commence yoga in the next week or so (need the peace of mind as much as the health benefits), so I guess that'll do. :)

[kleph]

resolutions update. (i know, i know. there's a week left in march but if i don't take care of this now i'll prolly not get it done.)

we are now almost a fourth of the way through the year and i am officially ammending my resolutions:

1) Run the San Diego marathon
2) Learn to play my guitar
3) Write my book
5) Cook a bouillabaisse, a cassoulet and a laksa
5) See a game in pac-bell park
6) Hike through Joshua Tree National Forest
7) Pay off restoring my embroidery
8) See more live shows
9) STOP GETTING UPSET OVER THE SMALL SHIT!

i'm happy to report that progress on all is very good. sadly, take up horseback riding looks unlikely due to lack of funds and return to Australia (or, failing that, Spain) is beginning to look iffy for the same reasons.

i've dropped beat my ex-employer on every story i cover because it only rots my soul to compete with them and get a radio show is now on the back burner due to problems reaching the guy in charge.

finally get my website up is still possible but i'm getting more done on the other resolutions without the computer at the house than i expected.

[angel_b]

I still haven't commenced yoga ... it keeps getting pushed back to "next week". Kind of like playing jump rope when a child ... I keep waiting until the rope looks just right for me to jump in *sigh*

[Sambellina]

My year is going very well. I am so god damn happy!! :D Apart from filing for divorce next week everything is bloody FANTASTIC.

Oh I haven't come to terms with turning 30 yet :( , but hey if that's my only worry, bring it on!!

[utopian]

just lie and say you're 23.

[Sambellina]

That's the age I mostly pass for anyway. :)

[utopian]

maybe you should append your resolutions:

* keep ego in check

;) :D :p :cool:

[Sambellina]

It's got nothing to do with *my* ego. If people say they think I'm 23 I can't do much about it.

[utopian]

get grey streaks in your hair and pencil some crows feet around your eyes.

[imp]

well i've dropped 6 kilos and still giong.
I now weigh 59/60 Kilos. I want to lose 3 more. Then i'll be happy.

My size 10 clothes fit me again too *dance*

:D
And as for stopping smoking norti stuff I've moved out on my own and i'm not smoking as much as I used to. \o/

[angel_b]

Yeah, people tell me that all the time too. What are you going to do? :p

[utopian]

get some? no. but i got a hug, which is a start.

work more? yep. i'm doing 5 nights a week, the other 2 are at uni.

move? no, although i have been threatened with being kicked out of home.

[Chocoholic]

Being kicked out of home is liberating. Scary but still liberating.

[utopian]

having $500 in the bank while being kicked out is somewhat comforting.

working more has led to having savings in the bank account.

[Cassa]

Since we're all updating...

I have been eating somewhat healthier...tofu and wholegrain bread on a daily basis now. Although I still can't help myself with the pocky and Snickers in a jar. Win some, lose some :)

I'm exercising for at least an hour a day now, I can feel the difference in my legs! Weight is still stable at 54kg (120lbs for you imperialists) but given that I'm swapping fat for muscle, it balances out well :D

I see what your problem is.

How do you expect to get a girlfriend without having an amateur radio license? Also, If you try to have sex without knowing how to weld, she'll laugh right in your face.

Get to work.

[dredz]

if you moved out of home...where the hell would you live?...and also...the only reason you get a girlfriend is to have sex...and face it...the only reason you have sex is so you can brag to your mates about it over a brew....so go replace the cylinders of your V8....then you can brag all you want...and hey...you save time, money, and energy....unless you muff your cylinder repair...then no woman would want you anyways

11) start research on my book

[geggle]

It's status update time...

1. Have sex no
2. Get a girlfriend no
3. Learn to weld no
4. Finish my woodbead project (scout thing) yes
5. Get an amateur radio license no
6. Move out of home not likely this year

Hmm. Still not going too well huh...:rolleyes:

[geggle]

Looks like everyone is in denial regarding their last year's resolutions! :D

Prompted by Kleph's blog (http://kleph.blogspot.com/), I figured a status update before the next round of new year's resolutions would be in order: Have sex Yes
Get a girlfriend Yes
Learn to weld No
Finish my woodbead project (scout thing) Yes
Get an amateur radio license No
Move out of home Not likely this yearFunny, the two things I thought would be the most unlikely actually happened :D

[Shez]

well done geggley :)

i guess its that time of the year to think about more new years resolutions now huh *hmmm thinking*

[Sutter]

Okay, here's my resolutions:

1. Get a part-time job
2. Enrole in a course
3. Stop sleeping with my ex.

[That Bloke]

My resolution has been the same for the last 10 years.

Basically it is to get a life.

It seems no matter how much you want it you just don't want it enough, they say life is what you make it & to a small extent it is true but still there are(or atleast can be) more factors that are beyond your control that effect your life.

[Scythe]

Alright, here's my resolutions:

1) Get off my arse and get a full-time job (finally)
2) Begin my steady climb up the ladder to the dizzying heights of corporate and political power (hopefully).
3) Get fit (again, finally).
4) Move into a house by myself.
5) Get broadband.
6) Get my motorcycle licence.
7) Go skydiving.
8) Meet some of these freaky ZGeek people IRL to see if they are as strange as they seem.....







9) Stop sleeping with Sutter's ex. :D

[utopian]

Achieve a GPA of at least 5 in my new course
Get fit by playing a sport
Eat much better
Look for a new job

[Buffy]

New Years resolutions are like expectations, and expectations mostly suck. So none for me :D

[badpauly]

1. Become a better pervert
2. Excede point 1
3. Perform more
4. Scare more boring people
5. Find a hair style/colour that actually surprises people at work
6. Decide if being single is all I remember it to be.
7. Decide if that is good or bad.
8. Come up with 2 more points so I have a "Top 10" things to do
9. Actually do the only resolution I had last NY
10. Earn enough with my camera to actually pay for it.

[BlueBoy]

Get a new job
Move out
Find a girl
Start writing again
Get outside more
Find a non-computer related hobby
Finally get my SCUBA diving license

[Shez]

Why??????

So far i think i have decided on a couple of nyr...
* Save up lotsa money which means going out less!
* Find somewhere more interesting than Wollongong
* Get a better job with a nicer boss (haha dunno if im gonna have any luck with that)
* Try and be nicer to people
* Spend as much time with my mummy as possible
That will do for now til i change them!!

[ersatz]

first of all, gotta congratulate geggle on fulfilling the first two of his resolutions. now mine:

1. get a different job (most important of all)
2. save money by drinking & smoking less, & buying less takeaway
3. cure my bitter hatred of computers, and rebuild my games machine.
4. spend less time on the PC (may be contraindicated by 3) & get out more often
5. get a real girlfriend for once
6. find out what it is that I like doing and what I want to do with my life
7. cheer up, stop hating my life and everything in it

I think 1. is the only realistic resolution.

[Glompbot]

1. Save
2. Upgrade PC + build 2nd pc
3. Buy a bed
4. Get wisdom teeth removed and mould made for mouth to stop me grinding my teeth in my sleep.
5. Visit optometrist and get new prescription for glasses.
6. Find a doctor and get all my female type checkups done... I'm about a year and a half overdue for all those :(
7. Get riders L's, and a motorbike

Still more, but thats all for now.

[BlueBoy]

It seems to me that the answer to this is to override your natural fears. ie..don't want to go to a party because you won't know anyone there. I fear I've only recently been successfull in covering. Hey the party wasn't the greatest, but I could feel a difference in myself the next day, haveing had to improvise more and read people better than I normally have to......

6. build a time machine !!!
7. have more sex

Shouldn't we do this in a new 2004 thread? Anyway i'm going with:

1. Pay off Car Loan
2. Stop drinking Coke (again)
3. Swim or go to the Gym at least twice a week
4. Take up Kungfu, Aido or Kenjutsu
5. Take dancing lessons with GF
6. Enjoy life out side of my 3 jobs more.
7. Work Harder
8. Cause more trouble, have more fun

[kyuss]

Get bigger tubes.
Break the drought. :p
Drink alcohol less (once every 2 months max).
Get some new clothes.
Try psylocibin mushrooms.
Try DMT.
Spend more time away from the Gold Coast.
Start skydiving course.


That's about all I could think up in the last few minutes.

[thingy]

I am yet to break last years resolution (woah! First time ever!) which I am damned proud of.

Therefore, I think I shall make this years resolution the same as last.

I resolve that next year I shall not make any new years resolutions.

As if

[Hired Goon]

My new years resolution is to do something different. I've been working my arse off for over five years now - and New Years is the time when you reflect on just how little it matters in the overall scheme of things.

I dunno what I'll do yet - gotta think about it... it is, however time to get out of comfort zone and do something that counts (and I don't mean become a missionary or shit like that - just do something so that when you wake up in the morning you think "I'm really looking forward to today").

[Space Cowboy]

My new year resolution is to piss off the ex-wife as much as i can :eek:

[That Bloke]

In all honesty I never have a resolution from year to year, I tend more to go for the 8 year plan & I don't make this plan on New Year's, I make it when it dawns on me, I kinda failed the last one, it's not always 8 years or any specific amount of time, it's just a matter when I want to achieve & how long it'll take, last time it was a plan for when I was 25(I still am) made when I was 17.

[Sambellina]

WOW!! Can't believe this thread is still going!

My NY resolutions from last year were pretty much fulfilled - excpet that drinking one but oh well.

No resolutions this year because I'm contented. Snowball will probably set the same expectations for his resolutions this year though but I'm sure they are of a much higher quality then expectations last year ;)

The kitchen scene in 'Evil Dead 2' is based directly on the breakup. I think you can see I was fairly evenhanded in my attempt to seperate us cleanly.

[still life]

Learn to dance well.

[Cassa]

* Lose the weight I gained last year - will only take a few weeks but it's nice to have acheivable goals :D

* Stop wishing I was more like other people - they're them, I'm me, I will learn to deal with it.

* Get my licence finally.

[MisterBishi]

My resolution this year is 1600x1200@85Hz. HAHA.

Ok, seriously:


1: Stop smoking

So far so good.

Well, not good as such. I mean, I haven't smoked but it pretty much sucks.

Roll on day 4 when all the nicotine is out of my body and it's only the mental things like insomnia and crazy dreams I have to deal with.


2: Have more sex


Surefire fucking winner this one.

Maybe she doesn't like having sex cause you stink of cigarettes. *shrugs*

Or maybe you just smell cause you're a POM. *shrugs*

[MisterBishi]

Originally posted by Sambellina

Yeah maybe, but that might be considered a little hypocritical of her, being a cigarette-smoking Pom too (at least up until yesterday when she quit smoking, but as far as I know she’s still a Pom). That it may be considered hypocritical is, of course, not to say that it's not true; Hypocrisy is a not a trait that is specific to a particular gender like, say, being good at maths is; Even though it’s not really politically correct to say so any more.

Speaking of political correctness, I’m really not sure it’s allowed these days to suggest that all Poms stink. Again, I’m not categorically stating it to be false, just that you’re not really allowed to talk about it in polite company; Whether or not ZGeek is considered ‘polite company’, or even ‘company’ at all, given the geographical distance between members, is really a matter of opinion and not something I’m going to dwell on here.

Anyway, the main reason I came back to post in this thread again was that I made another New Year’s resolution that, in a state of confusion probably caused by nicotine withdrawal, I completely neglected to mention.

I resolve, this year, to be far more succinct in my writing and to do my utmost to avoid going off on wild tangents when trying to make my opinions known; Including, but by no means limited to, those opinions concerning War and Peace (in real life, not the book by Tolstoy, I haven't even read it so to force my opinions of it onto people would be ill-mannered at least).

2: Have more sex


Surefire fucking winner this one. Don't mean to dig up old threads, but I missed this one till just this second and was thinking about it anyway. Like Bishi, my resolution is to quit smoking as well, and right now it's day 6 and haven't touched a single smoke. Of course, throwing away my entire supply makes that a little easier.

It's actually going ok, but yesterday was both my first day of cravings and my first night of dreaming about smoking. Fricking tough. It was so weird, in as much that I was dreaming about really wanting to smoke, and I was hanging out with my friends just enjoying a puff, but the small part of my conscious mind that was still present was really pissed off with myself. When I woke up I wasn't really sure what to do, heh.

How's your quittage going, Bishi?

And like Cassa I'm also trying to get my license before I go back to uni, but dislocating my shoulder on NYE (and my upcoming shoulder surgery in February) might ruin that one, I certainly hope not, my poor car is sitting on my driveway just gathering dust. Well.. more leaves than dust I suppose.

Getting better, I had my last one at around 11 on NYE and the cravings are not so bad now, but after work I have to occupy myself with a book or something.

I avoided the pub all last weekend but I went for an hour yesterday lunchtime and was ok, I reckon by the time I can afford to go out on the weekend I'll be fine :p

I didn't see this thread until just now.

My resolutions for 2004 are:

1. Stop smoking
2. Learn some new stuff
3. Build onto my house and sell it for lots of money
4. Get my head round having a baby

so far, 6 days into January,

1. I haven't smoked.

2. I looked into 3 different courses which will teach me how to do plastering, wallpapering and tiling. (Will book places on all of them when I get paid this month)

3. I spoke to a nice lady about getting planning permisson and have an appointment next Monday to discuss my proposed building work.

4. Hmm, this is a tough one, not started yet!

what

[Chrissy]

Well, it's going to happen at some point, now that I am married.

Unfortunately, I have always said that I wouldn't have any more but I get the feeling that Hubby would like at least one more and I need to get my head around it.

To some, this will seem silly, but for me it's a big deal since I have issues about how much of a good mother I am to the child I have already. l

[hazza]

mine arnt really resolutions.. just things to keep in mind...


quitting smoking is one and spending less money on the pokies another.

if i dont get into uni, then get a job, also spend less money on crap.


i havent had a cigg since new years day and i havent spent any of _my_ money on the pokies....

You do realise it isn't YOUR head you need to get around when having a baby right? ;)

Craft time!

1. Get an A4 sheet of paper
2. Join it lengthways, end to end.
3. Insert random household objects into it... A stubbie, TV remote, mobile phone, small dog, that sort of thing.
4. Realise that a babies head is a little bit larger than that.

Sorry for the mental image.

[Chrissy]

Badpauly, I do realise that, yes.

See my later post and you'll notice that I already have one child...

He's 9...

possibly why I need to 'get my head round' having another one?

I am also slightly concerned about the aspersions you are casting on the size of my ladies bits! The last time I looked it wasn't anywhere near the size of the opening in the end of an A4 piece of paper joined end to end?!?

I'm not saying they are always that size, far from it. But unless you go C, then for a few, painful seconds... :D

Like a necromancer, I have bought this thread back from the dead. It breathes my pretties - it breathes! Erm, anyway - my new years resolutions are:


Break the 3 pint record at a non-celebratory work lunch (I'm serious anybody from work who reads this).
Overcome my obsession with smelling people's hair on public transport
Overcome my obsession with inappropriate displays of public nudity (as opposed to the appropriate ones ;) )
Start smoking
Stop smoking so I can say I quit smoking
Get the scientists working on the tube technology
Get more beer in me. woo! :). Oh wait that's point 1. oh well, more beer = more better.


Well, I'm a simple man with simple goals. I think 05 will be a breeze! :p

[Rep Fairy]

my new years resolution is to be more subdued, less spontaneous, tread carefully, post thoughtfully and rep often.

[FuncowK]

1: Trim pubes occasionally
2: Brush teeth more often
3: Shower more often

It's going to be tough...

[Sutter]

I'm pretty much perfect (except for my spelling, but screw spelling). I don't think I need any NYRs.
Suggestions?

[dogwomble]

Well, my two are....

1) Find permanent employment (While the contract stuff I have been doing has been bringing in good money, it finished a few weeks back and until I can find more stuff, I have to live off Centrelink :( So I want something permanent, even if the hourly rate is something less than what I was on).
2) Make another attempt to give up smoking and succeed.

learn to spelll better?? :p

[Glompbot]

One of mine is to learn some resolve in regards to a certain situation that has had me lying to my friends. I don't like the situation anymore, but I can't tear myself away... and I'm sick of lying about it when people ask.

[Sambellina]

Reading over this thread is funny :cool:

[Colonel Kurtz]

Sure is, I achieved none of my aims.

[Cpt Jellybean]

Get rid of all my feelings and emotions because girls dig Jerks!!!!!

[Serpent_Girl]

I had made a resolution to resolve alot of things to do with a few people. It sucks at the moment.

Yeah, I also resloved to get more healthy and stuff like that. :)
