- Laugh more, dance more, sing more, and generally be myself more without worrying about being embarrassed. Honestly, if I want to shake my booty a little out on the street because a really booty-shaking song comes on my iPod, why should I care what a streetful of strangers thinks? And really, why shouldn't I have introduced myself to that cute bearded & bespectacled movie-goer on Wednesday? Even if nothing came of it, I'd never see him again, so why does it matter? I'm seizing the day, yo. And having a marvelous time doing it. Embarrassed is a stupid emotion. I'm embracing my inner public-transportation-air-drummer, as it were.
- The usual budget thing. *sigh*
- The usual losing a little weight so I am happier with my body thing. *bigger sigh*
- Blog once a week.
- Take the GRE and apply for UCSF.
- Something that I've tried for the last 2 years and failed-- keep a list of movies I watch and books I read, so at the end of the year I can look back on it and see patterns, and be able to recommend, etc.
- Do my photo-a-day blog. For real.

resolutions and revolutions
Time for my New Year's Resolutions, 2009-style. You guys know I totally believe in making them (and breaking them). Usually I try to write measurable objectives, but some of these will be more general goals. Feel free to hold me accountable.
Jamie,
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. To that list, I'm going to add mine - floss more and pick up a new addictive hobby (addicitive in a good way)
Happy frickin' New Year!
-Oh, and I won't be taking my GRE - but I support you to do so.
Oooh, flossing is a good one, and I just did so, thanks to you. Maybe flossing could be your addictive new habit- killing two birds and all.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of dancing in public, tonight the "Tequila!" song came on at the bar, and Bartender Derek and I got up on our stools and did the Pee Wee Herman dance. It was LEGENDARY, in the words of Barney Stinson, and I achieved a new level of non-embarrassment. Look at me; I'm growing.
I love the Inappropriate Hug.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally jumping on the bandwagon and stealing your resolutions. They're better than my usual "Stop Smoking" crap.
