045 January Meme

[autumnmuse]

Happy New Year everyone!! I hope it was a great night for everyone (: We had some fun putting together a puzzle (I know, nerdy) ... our friend Mike came over too and we all ended up staying up until 5am watching movies rofl. I don't remember the last time I was up that late on New Years. Anywho, leaving you with today's question from the January meme! Still need some questions here if you'd like to help out!



Do you do New Year's resolutions? If you do, what do you want to complete for 2015? - Asked by yada_yada . 


I suppose they can be called resolutions, but I prefer to call them goals. Things that I would like to accomplish or work on in 2015. I feel like the word ‘resolution’ puts more pressure on these than necessary … ha! But I do have some for 2015.

1. Spend as much time with dad as I can without making him feel suffocated :D
2. Complete the writing pledge I made for 2015 (200K words). Try to write poetry again.
3. Read at least 30 books this year, and I will include college books! Also, write more reviews on the books I read.
4. Write in this journal at least once a day, and try to share at least one positive thing from each day.
5. Take more photos. I won’t say I’ll do the photo-a-day challenge, but if I take photos, to share them more. I always start off strong then by February I’m barely taking a photo a month, haha.
6. I usually only drink soda when I go out to eat or when I’m at my bros (because he always has soda). My mission is to completely quit drinking soda this year, even if it is an occasional thing.
7. Visit two new places this year, even if they are right here in Connecticut (as long as I’ve never been before).
8. Make icons/banners again.
9. Do well in my classes.
10. Never go back to Facebook—ever.

I like your goals.

I actually gave up soda. The only time I have it is for medicinal - like, we keep small cans of coke in the pantry for stomach upset. My taste buds toward soda have changed so much that it actually tastes really bad to me...like a nasty cough syrup bad.

But, I don't crave it anymore and I am better form not having it. So, good luck on this goal!

Also, Facebook is evil....I rarely use it.

I would love to see your icons if you start making them again. Will you be posting them? I love that teeny art medium. :)

Thanks :D

I like to have something other than water when I eat, so if soda is available I'll pick it. Not really out of a craving just it tastes better than water to me (though I drink LOTS of water all day long, so that's probably why when I have food, I dont want it lol). But, soda is so bad ... like really really bad, even the little I do drink lol, so I'd like to give it up and drink juice or something else :D

Yeah, FB is very evil. I always felt so annoyed whenever I visited it, so I said, eff it ... I am done with this thing haha. It's been two months, and i hope I can say good-bye forever :D

I'll definitely post the icons I make. I have to find my program again ... I think I know where it is :D

I can try and think of some others, but they'll probably be video game/tech related like the WoW ones. D:

That's great (: Anything you can think of would be fabulous!

Ugh, I don't blame you for avoiding Facebook. A friend of mine asked me yesterday if it was worth joining and essentially my answer was NO NO NO NO. I don't go on there if I can help it.

[autumnmuse]

Haha, yeah ... I was on-again, off-again for the last year and finally sometime in November I went off for good ... so telling myself not to go back. I actually don't really miss it lol

[muladhara]

Heh, me either. I can think of better things to do than reading about the minutae of my friends' lives.
