Resolutions/Happy New Year SYG

knox · 12.31.2010, 05:28 PM

I'd like to know people's resolutions for 2011. Please list the embarassing ones too.

And... happy new year everyone?

GeneticKiss · 12.31.2010, 05:38 PM

I'm gonna cut back on swearing. Cursing loses its impact after a while.

knox · 12.31.2010, 05:54 PM

I have a million resolutions in my head. I've never done this before, is it better to write them down?

Here are some:
1- Collab. with other artists. I wanna do vocal promiscuity.
2- Cook more and bake cakes.
3- Work less, spend more time with friends.
4- Do not allow people to stress me out.

jennthebenn · 12.31.2010, 05:55 PM

Stop binge drinking. I had a particularly frightful Xmas Eve because I treat
alcohol like water.

Get my second book published; this one will be fiction.

Be a better friend. There's no formula for that; every person is unique.

SpaceCadetHayden · 12.31.2010, 06:39 PM

Eat healthier, shop smarter, dress better, and get laid more.

SpaceCadetHayden · 12.31.2010, 06:39 PM

Oh, and a big fuck you to 2010. Atrocious fucking shit of a year that was.

Derek · 12.31.2010, 07:30 PM

Fuck the New Year.

atsonicpark · 12.31.2010, 07:44 PM

Just to make the best of the remaining time I have left, basically.

tw2113 · 12.31.2010, 08:12 PM

to make no more resolutions after this one

static-harmony · 01.01.2011, 01:55 AM

Start my university again and spend everytime with my partner and maybe make it legal in the summer.

ann ashtray · 01.01.2011, 04:22 AM

Savage Clone · 01.01.2011, 05:04 PM

No pity claps.

alteredcourse · 01.01.2011, 07:04 PM

Happy new year ! It's been a good day. Went for a walk in the neighborhood, scrubbed the apartment down, made dinner plans with the girl whose plans I broke last night (in favor of being alone. She had others over, it wasnt going to just be the two of us. But I realized that I actually CARED that I'd disappointed her, where with most people, I keep no obligations). Resolution: be good to who I care about/who cares about me.

Another resolution: lots of great sex.

atsonicpark · 01.01.2011, 07:07 PM

I am good to my friends and family, and there's nothing I really "want"; I am always giving away everything, since I don't really like any of the stuff I have... I just have this overall feeling of a severe depression in my life. I would try to make a resolution "get over my depression", but how does one do that exactly? Nothing really makes me happy anymore. It's been like that for a long time now. I guess one of the things that's always made me happy is to give people stuff, to show people new bands and movies and stuff, and to give them gifts and cash and whatnot. I have always liked making others happy. So I'll probably just focus on that, just do more stuff for other people. People close to me tell me I need to start being more selfish, start doing more things for myself, but that's just not who I am. Regardless, something needs to change. I am depressed all the time. I don't know what I'm working for anymore, exactly. Sometimes I sleep all day, and when I wake up I take sleeping pills and sleep some more. It's the only escape I have from reality. I know things won't always be like this. I'm just in a really unhappy place right now.

I'm liking these resolutions. I'm liking everybody's.

I think I got some more:
- dare more
- never wear coats and flip flops
- if I can't afford good quality booze maybe I'll go for herbal tea
- watch more films

alteredcourse · 01.01.2011, 07:21 PM

never, EVER wear flip flops. only in the privacy of your own home. its just not right.

sandals with socks is just as punishable.

Edit: atsonicpark, accept that you're unhappy? Or dont define yourself on a scale of happiness, rather just accept what you are? A continuous undefinable cycle of states. I do that sleeping thing too (especially lately). Winter is dark, darkness creates a place for the mind to doubt and double-think and stand still instead of moving on with things outside of ourselves (its hard for me to imagine your mind getting stuck and not being active, but I dont *know* you.) But I try not to peg myself as this or that. Because I am and I'm not.

Being upset about being upset only holds you back. Sometimes I find myself worrying about myself as if I wont get anywhere if I'm not hyperfocused on what I'm unsatisfied with. Complete fucking wrong approach. When I let go I'm more aware of shit around me rather than spinning circles in my self-absorbed brain.

Unsolicited advice is the best kind :/

atsonicpark · 01.01.2011, 07:32 PM

Thanks altered. I think part of my problem is the winter; like I said elsewhere, there's no heat it our house! Furnace fucked up, kerosene heater doesn't work, and my insane, abusive stepdad makes a huge deal when I turn on my space heater for more than a few minutes. Sitting in 20-to-20-below temperatures for a few months straight -- as well as driving a car with no heater AND working in a freezer -- starts to drive a person fucking insane after a while. I need to focus on getting out of there, I just haven't had the energy to go and look for a new place. Sigh.
