You won't fool the children of the Resolutions

[40cakes]

cheekybaby did a good job with hers and actually outlined specific, attainable goals. I attempt to do the same.

1. Lose 30 more pounds by summer. I'd like to think I'd make a good Juri, but as everyone in shoujo anime is impossibly thin, I'd like to maybe at least be a size 10 at most by Otakon. Due to the wasted child-bearing hips, 10 may be the smallest I can get. (I'm a brick house, baby.)

2. Save enough money to purchase a new (used) car. I love you, Catmobile. However, you are old enough to vote. You have a quarter of a million miles on you, and though you still run great, I seem to be in constant peril that with the slightest change of season, you could break down. Also, I think I'd like a CD player.

3. Get promoted at work. Hopefully will happen within the year, but it bears preserving anyhow.

4. Keep in touch with friends. This is one to be perpetually renewed. Sometimes we take the people most special to us for granted, and I refuse to do that this year. I like keeping around people I like.

5. Write oodles and oodles of things that I keep saying I'll write. At least one drabble per week, just to keep the non-sexual juices flowing. Was that TMI? I'll bet that was TMI.

6. Learn Japanese. Maybe not fluently, obviously, but enough that I can marginally understand my doujinshi. I've spent too much money to guess at what's going on. First, I will focus on grammar.

7. Keep the above resolutions.
