Happy New Year

I've had Happy New Year (Yes, parts A AND B) from Rent running through my head for the past 3 days or so. I was tempted to make a phone post singing it in its entirety to get it out of my head and into yours. I did not. I was too busy singing karaoke (I stuck to hip hop, mainly.)

New Years was spent at home, since no parties presented themselves (until approximately 9pm on Dec. 31, that is. Where were these muhfuggas when I kept shouting "HEY! WHO'S DOIN' STUFF FOR NEW YEAR'S?" The wine flowed freely (as did Snapple for the sober), and we played WarioWare, then Power Stone 2 and Chu Chu Rocket on Dreamcast. The ball was dropped, (and Scott had Animal Crossing DS fireworks), and we cheered and shouted and said, "Let's do karaoke!" Fun evening, and no one threw up to my knowledge. (jaina?)

2006 was greeted happily. I started the year off amongst friends, and woke up in the morning next to love. This year is gonna be totally awesome, I just know it.

Merry Merry and a Happy Happy, y'all.

Resolutionary Girl Casey

Alright, realistic resolutions with goals and dates worked well last year.

• Lose 20 pounds by April 1. (And no April Fool's funny business. Return of the ticker, missy.)
  
• I shall always know exactly how much I have in my checking account, as it shall be kept perfectly balanced. And there will never be a late payment again, save for extenuating circumstances.
  
• Finish all the knitting projects you currently have on every set of needles. Then learn how to knit stripes. Then learn how to knit something that's not in a straight line. You have an entire bag full of this stuff, dammit, do it right. BEFORE you pick up something else to start.
  
• Be more proactive at work and get things done before people expect them to be done and dick around less on Livejournal so that you're not in a panic at 4pm Fridays to get everything done before the week ends.
  
• Do not use your credit card unless you absotively posolutely HAVE TO. HAVE TO. Like you get a flat tire at the mall have to, not "I want this video game REALLY BAD" have to.
  

What do you think, sirs?
