Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Moshers

[hails]

damn straight you're one of my four!

christmas was fairly awesome. i'm now the proud owner of the second season of "bewitched" on dvd, as well as "team america" and the first two potter movies! yay! and a bunch of clothes, a bra that is as attractive as scaffolding but makes my boobs so damned perky, some earrings and a packet of razors. yeah, i'm still trying to work out why mum gave me those as well.

i am also stuffed to the brim with food, including the awesome bruschetta and the equally awesome pavlova that i made! i win at making food that doesn't involve cooking! w00t for me!

ugh. so fat *pats belly*

happy boxing day everyone. i hope your day involves having a nice box all to yourself.

[Mythor]

Boxes!!!

happy fucking new year!!

(where the hell is everyone? there's normally a threadful of new year posts by now )

anyone made any resolutions that we can laugh at? i tried to make achievable ones this year! i'm going to do more stuff - i want to have more experiences, see more things, visit more people, be a part of more groups, stuff like that. i'm also going to buy a new pute, learn how to play drums, move house, get my tongue pierced in madchester and snog a bunch of people. somewhat achievable, i think.

just wanted to wish everyone a safe new year... and i hope none of you have been affected by any of the fires around the place

I resolve to pick up more. 2005 was a pretty quiet year on that front (though thankfully with some very lovely exceptions), so bring on the slightly-gothy-yet-emotionally-stable chicks, and hot-but-not-too-dumb boys.
And I think I’ll enjoy working toward my new year res WAY more than those who resolve to quit smoking!

Have a great twenty oh six everyone.

I resolved not to get involved with anyone this year . . . but that was gone when I snogged a couple of girls later on . . . ^^;;

Happity New Year everyone! I hereby change my above resolution (which I broke) to making as many people as I can feel really good, about themselves, about those around them, and about life. I wanna start with you guys. Feel the luff!

[hails]

awwww, you've just been added to my make-out list for melbourne this year with all your niceness and love-feeling and all of that happy new year indeed!

Is there anyone not on your makeout list?


Yes, yes, happy new year and rah rah rah everyone. May it be filled with comedy and shiny things and so forth.

I made a few resolutions and I've already broken a few of them.

One was to keep better sleeping patterns in an attempt to make my body and mind healthy again. I fucked that up by staying up til 8am on new years day (I should point out that I hadn't gone to bed the night before, at all) and sleeping til 10am, waking up to have a work meeting, literally passing out on the couch from 7pm until 9pm and then proceeding to stay up all night working. Today, I fell asleep in my computer chair at about 11am, and then my mum poked me and made me move to my bed where I then slept until 9pm. I'm up again, and I should try and get to bed before 2am, but I have some more stuff to do. Damnit, I shouldan't have slept so much today.

My second resolution was to work more and work smarter. I do work a lot, but I don't work smart. I sit there and pixelhunt and poke around with things for ages, and it makes a lot of things I do take so much longer. Being a perfectionist isn't overly bad, but it is when you're being one from the very start of a project, and because the project is in it's early stages, it's very hard to move on to the next stage. Trust me, this is a very bad way of working. Shame on me!

My third is to not go out with anyone unless I really like them. No more pity dates and no more 'I don't love you, but let's see where this goes and I might change my mind'. I was stuck in a relationship for over a year with a guy that I didn't love and eventually I just started resenting him the more he loved me. It was bad. So, yes... let's not do that again. (Note: I know that sounds conceited, but a lot of my relationships come from a low self esteem issue of 'omg, someone actually likes me!' rather than 'I'm so pretty, nobody is up to my standards but I'll give you a go'. So, yes, that's what that was about.)

Third, part B. Snog a few chicks. Hails?

My fourth is to keep track of my finances and try and SAVE! Dude, seriously, I earnt a lot last year, but I bought so much shiny stuff, it was kinda silly. Of course, yes, I did need that new $400 sound card, the new printer, the new harddrive(s), the new tablet, the new desk, the new pretty leather comfy huge chair. Of course I needed those things. lol. And I definately needed the thousands of dollars worth of games that I bought. But, yeah, maybe I don't need all of that this year. *blush*

My fifth is to do more. Go out more. Do different things than what I've been doing. Meet new people, and never ever enter a room and not make a new friend. Life is short: Don't be a dick.

Sixth - Fuck it! If someone has a problem with me; Fuck it! If I do badly on a test; Fuck it! I'll do better on the next. What's in the past is in the past and we can't change that without the help of the delorian. Don't dwell over it. Learn from it.

My seventh is to see as many of my favourite bands that I can, regardless of the cost. This resolution seems to be in direct conflict with number 4, but fuck it! (resolution number 6 ) I missed out on a Taste of Chaos last year because i was a wuss and was unsure whether I should part with the money. I missed out on Ben Folds when he was here in April because I thought it was expensive... Fuck it! The experience is worth the money, and I'm young. Money comes and goes, but memories stay with you until you forget them.

My final resolution and, oooh, one that I really hope I'll keep is to snog Bob Bryar. *grins* His name is an anagram of Rar Bobby!

...

As the bishop said to te nun, 'Sorry about the length'.

I forgot to make a resolution but I quit smoking by accident. New Years Day I felt so bad couldn't stop coughing and then realised from the empty packets that I had smoked almost 3 packets in less than 24 hours. Now the thought of a smoke kind of makes me feel ill. But it has only been two days, I am grumpy as a mother fucker, I am back at work and the air con doesn't appear to be working it is hotter in the building than out side.

My resolution I think should be that I will complain less in 2006

[unfrufru]

i also did the quit smoking thing and word got around the office this morning and no one has spoken to me at all hehehehe. i'm sucking on carrots like there's no tomorrow. just nice to have something in my mouth

[barryboy]

me I'm eating wasabi peas. Long term probably not a good substitute and realistically not that enjoyable in your mouth

[lily]

I resolve to be more forthright and open about what I want, and be generally less shy
I resolve to do more things that make me happy longer-term
Also I resolve to have fewer medical emergencies

As I've not yet been totally cleared for strenuous activity, I will be (belatedly) celebrating the new year in somewhat sedate fashion at Local Laughs next week. Yayyy!

[Renee_Turner]

I (like VAx) will not date anyone unless I really like them. Same goes for shagging. No more 'what the hell was I thinking?' guys.

I will be more honest to myself and others.

I will attempt to be comedy-tastic in Melbourne. No fear. Eep.

I will take opportunities that come my way, not be boring.

I will wear the Hypnotrousers in public more times than I did last year (4).

I will be more focused on the things I am doing and procrastinate less.

I will not dwell on past mistakes.

Not a lot, really.
