Your 2007 resolutions

[Greebo]

Here's a place to give us your resolutions for 2007:

I'll start.

1) Reduce my revolving debt by at least 30%.
2) Reduce my revolving weight by at least 30 pounds.
3) Post regular updates on my progress of the previous 2 resolutions.

[Lycos]

1. Breath good quality air.
2. Drink water, daily preferably.
3. Eat food when I feel hungry.

I don't believe in resolutions because it's another source of not feeling good about yourself. Keeping negativity to a minimum is a good thing! :D

[Greebo]

1. Breath good quality air.
Where you moving to?

[Lycos]

Where you moving to?

Didn't I tell you? I bought a bubble to live in at home! ;)

[shadowgate]

1.) Work out more = work out some.
2.) Eat better
3.) Loose 25 pounds

[Raveneye]

1680x1050


:smile:

[Yuglooc]

1. Lose at least 15 pounds.
2. Become more organized, both at home and work.
3. Exercise more.

[Serani]

I don't have many. Mainly, I'm looking at 3:

Get back to drinking water. Even the carbonated flavored kind is better than none and I haven't been drinking those.

Get back to losing weight. (I've started, but haven't gotten far.) This includes watching what I eat AND getting some form of exercise. I'm still seriously considering the Wii for helping me with this.

Better organize my life. I get way overwhelmed too easily with school work and everything else. Even with Rubi's help I end up just fried and can't even enjoy playing.

[Lycos]

Oh, I almost forgot.

4. Have more sex to help me lose weight! =)

[Zyzzyx]

New Year's resolutions? No thanks. I've taken to just doing what I can, when I can.

Besides, every day is the start of a new year. Just not the start of a new calendar year.

[leng]

I'll join the lose weight group ...

1. Lose more weight than Greebo
2. Exercise more (not difficult as I barely exercise at all)
3. Eat healthier food
4. Reduce further my dependence on Windoze

[Greebo]

1. Lose more weight than Greebo
WTF?! Why the heck does everyone always feel like they have to challenge me!?! ;)

[EricStratton]

Besides, every day is the start of a new year. Just not the start of a new calendar year.
What the hell kind of year is it then? You've gotta be living the longest days ever. Man, I envy your productivity. :lowrazz:

No resolutions for me. I never keep em so why bother.

[Zyzzyx]

What the hell kind of year is it then? You've gotta be living the longest days ever. Man, I envy your productivity.
Heh.

I dunno, I've never been too keen about the 'new year', especially new year's eve/day. Its just another day.

Maybe its the ancient in me, but I find the solstice dates far more worthy of celebration than the next calendar year.

Maybe I'll have to start asking for the first of every month off work as a holiday. It would be New Month Day, ya know. :evileye:

[Sylvene]

Many, many years ago... when I was of age to make New Year resolutions, I made one that I've kept ever since.

I resolved not to make New Year resolutions.

[Draknor]

Many, many years ago... when I was of age to make New Year resolutions, I made one that I've kept ever since.

I resolved not to make New Year resolutions.

I did that too. Resolution-free since '87.:D

[leng]

WTF?! Why the heck does everyone always feel like they have to challenge me!?! ;)
Not a challenge ... just thought I'd make life easy for myself :twisted:

[DirkDarkBlade]

Heh.

I tried asking for Monday off each week as a holiday. New Week day...the boss didn't get it.

I'm not one for doing resolutions either. I'll have to think about it...

[Jabby]

You guys are lucky. You guys have people for bosses. I've got a mom for a teacher, a principal, a nurse, and anything else in a school, so I can't get away with anything. As for the resolutions,
Get this guy Daniel to ask me out.
Write more fanfiction.
Finally finish my room.
Kill my ex.I doubt I'll be able to keep #4, but it's worth a shot.:lowrazz:

#1. Most guys are pretty clueless about these kinda things. So unless you are looking at this as a challenge... MUCH easier to just ask HIM out.
#2. Why? Although I've done alot of it, I've never looked at wanting to write more fanfiction and view the ones I've done as "practice." It's a greater challenge to write fiction and build your own world. (Listen to me preach! /LOL Don't I sound all sanctimonious?)
#3. More power to ya!
#4. Shooting tends to be loud and messy. Try something more silent and elegant. :lowlol:

I'm not gonna bother with shooting him, I'll take a knife, sneak into his house, and cut off a few choice body parts. I'll do that until all he has left attached to his torso is his head.:twisted: Oh, and I'll make itty-bitty little cuts all over his body, then cover him in lemon juice.

[jefspendar]

1) work as intensely at my marriage as i do at my job

2) listen to more music

3) live in the moment


jef

[Jabby]

1) work as intensely at my marriage as i do at my job

Shouldn't it be the other way around?:lowrazz:

[Sylvene]

You LIKE messy don't you? :pepis:

You must wish to personally inflict the damage. :lowlol: Me, I'd plan wicked ways to have the deed done for me. It's the Paladin "obtain fairy dust for quest armor by paying others to do your dirty deeds" method. *nod*

Self inflicted would be better. Lure him somewhere to pick up a "gift" of a fancy new knife. As he picks it up, he triggers mechanism that tips case of biting bugs over him (centipedes come to mind). Figure that he will stumble around stabbing at said biting bugs and leave containers prominently labled "insecticide" for him to grab and douse himself with...

Yes. yes, I do. I like to cause him pain. I was not the nicest girlfriend in the world. I was downright mean to the guy. But he was an arse. I got rid of him, and I still torture him to this day.

The plan's nice, btw. Mind if I use it?

Because I like to write it, and I have a small group of fans... Said fans must be clueless to like my work.

Not at all! Go right ahead. :)

[Greebo]

Ok, dude, its ON!

For 2007, my revised resolution is to lose more weight than Leng! :mad!::mad!::mad!:



(And nobody do something stupid like point out to us that a competitive spirit for losing weight is a good thing and its motivating, cause that would just kill it for me (unless it's Leng trying, cause I'm gonna kick his arse!!))


;)

Your mom isn't a person?

Jess, seriously, FORGET the ex already! You've been dwelling on it way too long! Focus on being or becoming the person you can be happy with as yourself.

[Jabby]

She kinda is a person, but she's a mom. What kid thinks of their mom as a person?

No, I won't forget the ex, because he STILL won't leave me alone, so I just annoy him right back. The guy's lucky he still has all his teeth. I almost hit him the other day.

[Biaxin]

Hey,

1. Move into my own habitat.

2. Establish a rudimentary social life.

3. I would like to start having sex, again. With someone else. :*

[Greebo]

You really wanna get to him? No, really, you want to really really frustrate him if he still insists on trying to bug you?

Ignore him. Be the ice queen. If you don't know how to do that yet, ask Andrea, but trust me - its genetic. You're the girl - you can turn his attempts to bother you into his own worst nightmare and never break a sweat.

[noptov52]

I was thinking of writing my own resolutions, but Biaxin covered everything so I'll shamelessly copy him.

S'be't.
I will most my morning weight on January 1st 2007 and the race will be on!:roll:

[Andrea]

Be the ice queen. If you don't know how to do that yet, ask Andrea, but trust me - its genetic.

:pepis:

Thank you Greebo, I love you too. :rotflmao:

btw Jabby, no guy is worth you getting all worked up over. just ignore him and if he does decide to bother you, do what I do, just give him a dirty look, pretend he doesnt exist, and go on your merry way. (i tend to do that with most dumb people). repeat as many times as necessary. :lowcool:

[Sylvene]

No, I won't forget the ex, because he STILL won't leave me alone, so I just annoy him right back. The guy's lucky he still has all his teeth. I almost hit him the other day.

Oh is THAT what's going on? Hon. Ignore him. Completely. Do not even acknowledge him. First of all, give yourself the satisfaction of giving him "the cut direct" (fancy Victorian language) - when he next bugs you. Raise an eyebrow, lift your nose and give him the sort of look you'd give a slug crawling on the road. Complete disinterest.

From then on, do not even acknowledge his existence on the face of the earth.

*nods*

Dirty looks will only encourage him. He sounds like he thrives on getting a reaction from you.

[attriel]

i'll agree with the "ignore the ex" advice

and all kidding aside, you're WAY too young for me hon ;)

[Jabby]

I'll try to ignore him. I doubt I'll be able to, he just makes me so mad... Atty, wrong Daniel. The guy I'm talking about is my height, blonde, and has gorgeous green eyes... I'm rambling, sorry.

[EricStratton]

I'll try to ignore him. I doubt I'll be able to, he just makes me so mad... Atty, wrong Daniel. The guy I'm talking about is my height, blonde, and has gorgeous green eyes... I'm rambling, sorry.
Ah, so you still like him. Maybe you should just get back together w/ him.

[Jabby]

Ah, so you still like him. Maybe you should just get back together w/ him.

No, my ex is an arse named Ian Slack. He is taller than me, black hair, brown eyes, dead opposite of Daniel.

[GravenStone]

No, my ex is an arse named Ian Slack. He is taller than me, black hair, brown eyes, dead opposite of Daniel.

Ya know, if you two keep "not ignoring" each other, you'll wind up married in another 10 years. :rotflmao:

[EricStratton]

No, my ex is an arse named Ian Slack. He is taller than me, black hair, brown eyes, dead opposite of Daniel.
Look, don't ask me why or how, but I *know* teenage girls. If you really didn't like him, you'd do what all girls save about four have done to me my whole life - barely recognize his existance. Since you refuse to get him out of your head, we all know what's going on. And it's *ok*. Loooooooove is a many splendored thing! :lowrazz:

[Greebo]

Jess if he succeeds in making you so mad that you're afraid you can't ignore him and be the ice queen, then you walk away. You get up, and you leave, and you don't look at him or acknowledge him to even give him the time of day.

When you get home, or alone, you can be mad and angry and scream at the walls, but the key is you DO NOT LET HIM SEE that he's getting to you. He is a guy, and therefore he is looking for a reaction. He's trying to get to you because he's still interested in you. If he wasn't, he wouldn't care. But he does *not* deserve you and he does not deserve the satisfaction of getting under your skin.

You're better than that, and you can control the situation to your advantage. Every woman can with a guy who is interested in her - like I said, its genetic. :)

[Barrack]

I'll try to ignore him. I doubt I'll be able to, he just makes me so mad... Atty, wrong Daniel. The guy I'm talking about is my height, blonde, and has gorgeous green eyes... I'm rambling, sorry.

Ah, so you must be talking about me...

Darkish blond hair: check.
Green eyes (well, Hazel): check.
Same height as Jabby, humm, maybe if I scrunch down a bit: check.

Heh, J/K. Seriously Jabbster I would take the others advice.

For my resolutions:

1) Do not screw up wedding in April.
2) Continue being the best guy I can be.
3) see #2

[Zyzzyx]

Actually, contrary to my previous comments, I do have something. Well, not so much a resolution as something I just want to get done fairly soon.

Get back in contact with good friends that I've lost touch with over the last six months to six years. I hope that I haven't burned any bridges, but I know that some are gonna need some serious repair work.

[Caranthir]

Finish getting into shape, watch my language more, get myself a nice job with a federal agency, and try to stop being catnip to married women (can't promise on that last one though :lowrazz: ).

[Jabby]

Ya know, if you two keep "not ignoring" each other, you'll wind up married in another 10 years. :rotflmao:

:throwup:

AAAHHH!!! NOOOOOO! I will NEVER willingly marry Ian Slack EVER!!!

And when did the resolution thread become the "Give jabby Advice about her ex" thread? I'll try the advice about him, but I doubt it 'll work. The male gender is a bunch of morons(guild and some of my family excluded). Including Danial. He's cute but totally oblivious. I even kissed him and he still is comepletely oblivious to my feelings(don't ask me how). As for the ex, he's dumb, literally. I told him to go procreate with himself, and stood there with this idiotic look on his face. :eek: The guy's a moron! I'm so glad I dumpped him.

[Greebo]

And when did the resolution thread become the "Give jabby Advice about her ex" thread?You'ld rather we didn't show that we care about you?

I'll try the advice about him, but I doubt it 'll work.
Try, and I know being a teenager that this is difficult for you, but TRY to accept just this one time that the adults you associate with might, maybe, JUST MAYBE, know a little more about the way the world and the people in it work.

If you listen to Sylvene and Andrea and do what they tell you, trust me, in a years time you WILL have men of all ages eating out of the palm of your hand.

Fail to heed their wisdom on womenly wiles at your weril...er, peril.

[Charinida]

If you listen to Sylvene and Andrea and do what they tell you, trust me, in a years time you WILL have men of all ages eating out of the palm of your hand.

Wha? The Mom doesn't count? :lowlol:

[Charinida]

Not really sure about resolutions... It never really sticks with me.

One thing I will try and do, food wise, is eat more salads. I primarily eat more meat than I do the veggie stuff (although not quite sure how to categorize tofu since I like to lump it with meat 'cos of the protein). If I'm lucky, I usually eat a "real" salad maybe once a month. Gonna try and up that to once a week. Had a nice one from starbucks last weekend (lettuce, walnuts, cranberry, blue cheese, carrots, raspberry vinegrette). When I got home with it, I added some turkey in it and it was pretty good. Walnuts makes the difference too. I will probably do that if I can.

Another, is to either lessen my spending habits and try to budget myself. pare down some debts (was basically debt free, oops). Put more into savings (and not company stock) and up the 401(k) a percent or two.

Get out of the state more often (or apartment). travel. Miss those museums and exhibits...

Cut out some gamings, narrow the games down.

Some folks at work were trying to get me hooked up. It's not really working, or I need to get hit with a clue bat in to what's going on. I don't get it, apparently.

Work on my health. Gained some weight, which isn't really a cause for alarm (well, sorta - depending on one's point of view). But it's my eating habits I guess. Lots of salt, sugar, fried foods. And I still never had a physical check up... since HS. (ooops). Just not really keen on doctors, or dentists for that matter. Optical docs are good. :)

I walk a lot, but need to do some other forms of exercising... Soft abs... hrmm... Weak arms (well, lifting pints, pens and the occasional bags dont count right?).

/me wonders what else that is realistic.

Oh yeah, clean up the damned apartment! :D Need to start weeding out some books and DVDs. Definitely computer magazines (although not sure on some of the FHM/Maxim ones) and the Nat-Geo/travel magazines. And the occasional Sports Illustrated en espanol. I'm still stuck on some spanish mailing lists.

[Greebo]

Wha? The Mom doesn't count? :lowlol:
Um, not normally, no. Kinda - um - duh on that one...

Katy is 110% qualfied to give vamping advice to any teenager in the world, except her own daughter...

[Drax]

Only one commitment this year - Become a better servant of God.

The subresolutions that come from that include (but are definitely not limited to) putting Becky first in all things (a continuation of my annual resolution), losing weight, becoming more organized, deciding what God wants me to do jobwise for the rest of my life, going back to school for that decision, making more time for my friends, and doing more in the community.

I figure that, at least, is a good start. :lowlol: :goodie!:

[Jabby]

You must wish to personally inflict the damage.
It's much more gratifying to be the one to hit him, than have someone do it for me.
