New years resolutions

Ugh, it's that time again. New years resolutions. And I'm going to make them - not because I intend to stick to them or have my life be controlled by them, but so that, next year, I'll have something to look back on and laugh and go "HHAHAHA, DID I REALLY INTEND TO DO *THAT*?!?!"

So, here goes.

1) I will blog more. Much of 2006 was taken up by my blogging unsuccessfully. I think that, in 2006 alone, I must have started and failed with about 4-5 seperate blogs. So, I shall not let this blog die.

2) I will review Doctor Who. I have felt that, over the course of the last two years, my skill of reviewing something has really improved. I'm looking more at character development, and emotions, than my previously childish "Ooh, pretty effects! :o" that I was at this point two years ago. So I'm going to review my Doctor Who episodes [2006 season]. I'm definetely getting better - instead of the old short "..Yeah, didn't like this episode" posts, I've found myself elaborating on it. I'm trying to find exactly what the *reason* I didn't like it was, and stuff. Yeah.

3) I'm going to start my novel. My *proper* novel. My novel about Tamino, that I've had in my head for the last 5-6 years. I'm *going* to write this, and it's *going* to be good.

4) I will complete Operation Californication. I have so far completed around 40% of Operation Californication, but I *AM* going to finish it, and I'm going to try and finish it as soon as possible. I really need to stick at something once I've started it.

5) I will use square brackets instead of round ones. ['nuff said.]

6) I will complete this frigging annoying puzzle book that's been on my desk since September 2005. It's so annoying now. Seriously. And I will order 2006's puzzle book, and I will finish that before 2008. Promise.

7) If I start something, I will finish it. This is the resolution that I'm not in any way going to keep, it's just in to taunt me.

8) I will do well on my exams this year. I have to put this in, frankly. I'm probably going to stick to this one, though.

 

Um.. I'm sure there's more. But I can't think of them right now. 5 hours until I can go to sleep!

1 - 1) sounds like a good idea. Your loyal readership demands it. I'm sure you'll manage to stick to 2), although perhaps you could spell 'definitely' correctly in the reviews for the purists. Looking forward to seeing the results of 3). Don't understand what 4) is, but no doubt it's life-enhancing. 5) is an arbitrary affectation [but we all need arbitrary affectations]. Let me know if you need help with 6), and no, I don't expect you'll stick to 7) either. As long as 8) comes off, the rest of it doesn't matter that much, anyway. (Comment this)
