[New Years Resolutions] Where everyone is obsessed with sex or art

MimMim dead.Registered User regular
edited December 2014 in Debate and/or Discourse
2015 is fast approaching and I thought it'd be nice to start up a new years resolution thread where we can all bond over our desire to become better people. Have any goals/wishes you're looking forward to in the new year? Let it all hang out here. Maybe we can do some kind of support team or something, or bond over our failures! Edit your lists as much as you need to before the new year hits!

So let me start this shindig off:

1. Lose 10 lbs and get hella strong. Maybe even take a martial arts class
2. Draw more and finally make a thread in Artist Corner/Concept Art so I can improve
3. Get closer to my [chat] constituents
4. Go out more/Say "Yes" to more things (not all the things, just more things)
5. Make more comics, maybe sell some! who knows?!
6. Get my driver's license
7. Save up money
8. But treat myself.
9. STAY SINGLE. JESUS CHRIST, DO I NEED TO STAY SINGLE.
10. Spruce up my wardrobe. Especially shoe department, apparently.
11. Travel more
12. Become smarter, especially about computers

What say y'all, D&Ders?

    My resolution is to try and monetize at least one of my passion projects (Card game, computer video game, video series, pixel art... or something else)

    Hello mimsy, I am going to give this some more thought before I post mine. But I'm interested in ways to motivate... maybe I need to make some charts on my walls!

    What a perfectly appropriate, rule-abiding thread you've got here, Mim!

    I kinda already lost most of the weight I needed to lose in Q3-4 2014, but I'm gonna keep jogging all the time and doing ab workouts so I can look like Chris Pratt in Guardians of the Galaxy.
    Also, and I am serious I have really been thinking about this a lot, I want to make some major progress going through this backlog of Steam video games.

    Those are some pretty weak resolutions I guess.

    i tend to not do the resolutions thing because i never follow through anyway

    well, i claim not to do them just so i have an excuse when i fail

    this year i am totally not resolving to

    keep an exercise regimen for longer than three months
    cook at home more and generally stop eating horrible crap so much
    maybe learn a new skill or a language for funsies

    Allegedly a voice of reason.

    chanus - I assume based on your agrees that you are resolving to do everything in those posts. It's going to be a busy year!

    yeah i want to make sure i have enough to do for the whole year

    Allegedly a voice of reason.
  • Kid PresentableKid Presentable Registered User regular
    If I gift Chanus a game that I also already own, and he plays it, can I remove it from my backlog?

  • ChanusChanus Harbinger of the Spicy Rooster Apocalypse The Flames of a Thousand Collapsed StarsRegistered User, Moderator mod
    yes

    Allegedly a voice of reason.

    chanus - can your New Years resolution be to play Darklands? It may be old, but you are MUCH older.

    in the sense that i'm probably not going to actually do it

    sure!

    Stop reading PA forums at work. More time to work = more time to excel and get promoted.

    Not blaming anyone but damn guys and gals, you are too entertaining.

    Uhh.. I need to get:
    Less fat
    More athletic
    Friends
    Sex
    More drugs

    I will start a project and see it through to completion.

    I very recently met my 2014 New Year's Resolution by improving my fitness to score an excellent on the military Fitness Test! A good fitness goal takes a full year to achieve. Getting fit by summer is unrealistic. It takes a years worth of lifestyle, nutrition and routine improvement .

    I vow to get pushed around but mostly topple over uselessly rather than reaching any destination.
    I will wait for Godot.
    I will participate in some futile farce or other under meek and sulky objections.
    I will lose a lot of money and gain much less.
    I will witness some injustice, think that I should do something, give up, and feel bad about it.
    I will waste time on absolutely nothing, and it won't even be relaxing.
    I will let nazis win elections.
    I will stay up too late and forget meals.
    I will refuse to get along with somebody nice.
    I will become dumber.

    I find it a little bit concerning that based on this list you currently have too much fat, too little athletic ability and drugs, but no friends or sex.

    You find it concerning?

    yeah.

    For 2015, I'd like to:

    -Get better at self care
    -Show more appreciation to those who care about me
    -Not go crazy again
    -Get smarter financially
    -Get smarter

    Probably some others too, but those are the main ones.

  • HerrCronHerrCron It that wickedly supports taxation Registered User regular
    I'm pretty sure I can tell a bunch of lies to myself, sure!

    I will:
    Drop at least 20KG.
    learn c# to an acceptable level (which ties into)....
    Leave underpaid job in company run by clownshoe wearing chucklefucks for boring job making $Texas more.
    Continue learning German
    And if possible play the full set of tournaments in both codes with my local club, and not spend the entire season limping from hamstring injury to hamstring injury, though i realise a portion of this is in the fickle and capricious hands of fate.



    Now Playing:
    Celeste [Switch] - She'll be wrestling with inner demons when she comes...
    Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age [Switch] - Sit down and watch our game play itself

    I did this in the christmas forum but might as well go again.

    1. Lose a bit of weight I gained over the holidays. 10 pounds would be about right. Already working on that by going back to cooking for myself 90% of the time and working out.
    2. Find some place to study and get my Japanese proficiency up more.
    3. Find a lady friend. I have a good base for life here with my job, my friends and my apartment be nice to have some more intimate companionship.
    4. Maybe learn to program again. I can still do basic stuff. But this is mostly a side project for fun. I should learn R for work though. Also I guess python for GIS work.

    I have a couple, though I'm trying to stay realistic.

    Lose 15 lbs. This will put me back at my lowest weight and one I think I'm comfortable in.

    Run a marathon. Done a couple halves, so I think it's time I go for the big one.

    Go on dates. I have a good foundation, great friends, steady job..I need to leverage that.

    Possible career change. I need to figure out if I want to change jobs..And what.

    Continue the consecutive years alive streak and make a new personal best with putting another year behind me.

    My father said that my resolution should be to end up in a serious relationship with something other than my dog. Ice cold.

    Oo, that's a good one.

    Me, I wanna moderinze the website I've been allowing to lay idle for umpteen years, do more professional level 2d/3d art (I want to make twice as many pieces as I did last year), and get that webcomic about unicorns I've been planning started (unicorns are terrible creatures).

    I'm gonna resolve to draw everyday!

    Also, since everyone's resolving to lose weight, I'm going to be a contrarian and gain 30 pounds instead.

  • MichaelLCMichaelLC In what furnace was thy brain? ChicagoRegistered User regular
    Lose some weight
    Stop spending so much money on stupid crap

    Is 40lbs in a year crazy? What about 20?

  • MimMim dead.Registered User regular
    we might need to make a "my fitness pal" group for support.
