Thankyou thread, you just inspired me to practise my piano for the day and I got through a section that has been bothering me for ages (I am very very beginner still but it felt good)

My goals are to keep practising singing and piano every day (or alternating at the very least) and to actually finish making one of the Flash games I keep starting. Also to stop snacking so much or I'm going to get fat again.

come august, another key thing I need to work on is meeting people

I'll be moving to the "big" city and damn it I want to make so many new friends

This goes for me too, when we move to Vancouver next year I need to be a bit more extroverted about getting to know people or I'm going to be really lonely.

Man, the machinist diet is probably a bad diet to do, because Christian Bale wanted to look like a corpse.

I'm going to get better organized by using services like Evernote to get ideas and information and general 'stuff' down in a single place where I can access it easily. For starters I used my flatbed scanner to create a pdf of my new lease contract which was then automatically uploaded to Evernote's servers. I'm also using it to record important serial numbers and registration keys that would otherwise sit at the bottom of a drawer to be forgotten, by taking a photo with my phone and sending it directly to Evernote. It even has fancy optical character recognition so it can read hand-written notes.

I had a nightmare last night

about more things going wrong with my car

so I guess my goal is to not worry about money 24/7

Oh and to pay off my credit cards.

The key to not worrying is knowing that you are doing what you can to improve the situation. If you are doing everything you can, congratulations, anything that happens is beyond your skill to remedy and so you should not worry about it. It's beyond your control.

If you are not doing all you can, then it will be a lot more productive for you to get off your butt and start doing more than worrying about it. Worrying accomplishes absolutely nothing.

I've given up chocolate and most sweet things except for the occasional weekend treat

Three weeks so far (I relapsed with Dubh and DE?AD because no one else was eating the cookies, mmm cookies) and I hope to keep this up

Grey Ghost

I need to quit staying up late on nights when I have work in the morning, that's what I need to do

Peace out

I say that every week

By mid-afternoon I am ready to fall asleep at my desk

then come the evening I'm hyper and can't sleep

and then weekends I sleep like 12 hours Friday and Saturday night, I'm sure it's not good for me

I've got a monster stack of paperwork I've been putting off doing at work. It really wasn't much at first but I'd put it off and more would be added so now it's a project that'll take at least a couple hours' worth of data entry on top of my regular duties. I figure I'll dedicate 10 minutes of my lunch break to entering in the info and see where I'm at by the end of next week.

Trying to get the thing in my sig off the ground.

I'm trying to halt and possibly even reverse the progress of this gut I've acquired over the past year

it's weird as a guy who's always been skinny to deal with the possibility of getting fat

but I've been hitting the gym and attempting to eat better

tugga

i need to get my finances under control

a good part of that would be quitting smoking and saving 5 dollars per day

cause thats 70 dollars between paychecks

don't you mean 'biscuits'?

Janson

no these were cookies

there's a distinct difference between cookies and biscuits (cookies are round and have chocolate chips or raisins)

Fallout

who the hell puts raisins in cookies

what the fuck

Oatmeal Raisin cookies are fantastic

I like oatmeal cookies but you can leave the raisins out.

After owning my last kitchen, I'm in a new one.

I want to own this one as well. It's just a hell of a lot more complex than my last kitchen, and I don't have as much time to master it.

It's like going from Normal DiabloII to Hell level with no time to re-armor. Brutal.

I suppose I should put some effort into school since I got all As this semester without too much effort and stuff is going to get a bunch harder from now, and I really need to get a job and my driver's licence. I'm probably not gonna do that last one for a while though because I'm terrible.
