cassaclyzmI intend to write something a little more personal later on, but for now, here's a new year's meme.
1. Will you be looking for a new job?
Not that I have a job now, but I may be able to do some work for one of my profs.
2. Will you be looking for a new relationship?
Somewhat. It's not an all-consuming thing, and I'm probably not up for anything too serious. But it would be kind of cool to "date" for once in my life.
3. Will you be looking for sex?
Not particularly, though if question numero dos comes true, then this one will likely follow.
4. What will you do differently in '08?
Move my body more, and put better things in it more consistently.
5. New Years Resolution?
I'll probably have a few, but I'm still working on them. Give me a few days.
6. What will you not be doing in '08?
I will NOT be falling into any two-month slumps, thank you very much.
7. Any trips planned?
How does Australia sound? I'm hoping to travel within Australia, as well as New Zealand. Maybe I will make some friends there with similar goals, so I'll have travel buddies.
8. Wedding plans?
I plan NOT to be married, thank you.
9. Major thing on your calendar?
Australia!
10. What can’t you wait for?
I can wait - I'm in no hurry. This whole going abroad thing is pretty huge and scary. But I AM slowly becoming super-excited.
11. What would you like to see happen differently?
World peace would be nice. Barring that, a better year for my friends and loved ones.
12. What about yourself will you be changing?
I need to learn how to learn from my mistakes without sliding into self-doubt and general inaction.
13. What happened in ‘07 that you didn’t think would ever happen?
I got into acting again. That was an interest that I had completely squashed, thanks to body-image issues. Reviving it has been a real eye-opener regarding my own interests and confidence.
14. Will you be nicer to the people you care about?
I'm generally pretty nice, but I need to learn how to keep my temper in check (I have a long fuse, but I don't like the things I say and do when I finally do blow.)
15. Will you dress differently in '08 than you did in '07?
I'd like to, but I'm not really sure how.
16. Will you start or quit drinking?
Staying the course, man. Staying the course.
17. Will you better your relationship with your family?
Yes. By moving to Australia. (It WILL be good to get out on my own again - I'm behaving more like a teenager now than I ever did when I actually WAS one.) Seriously though, my relationship with my family is great, I couldn't realistically ask for it to get much better.
18. Will you do volunteer work?
I'd like to. Probably this month, just something else to force me to get out of bed in the morning.
20. Do you expect '08 to be a good year for you?
It will be an amazing, scary, wild, strange, wonderful, and probably very hard year.
21. How much did you change from this time last year til now?
My back is better. I am definitely fatter.
22. Do you plan on having a child?
No. No no no no no no no no no. No. And no. Very no. No. (And beyond that, there's the logistics of the thing...)
23. Will you still be friends with the same people you are friends with now?
I'd better. I like my friends.
24. Major lifestyle changes?
I'm eating better, and I'll be walking a lot more once I switch hemispheres.
25. Will you be moving?
Ohhhhhhh you betta believe it.
26. What will you make sure doesn’t happen in 08 that happened in 07?
Total breakdowns would be a good thing to avoid. And really, most of what bugged me about '07 was the stuff that DIDN'T happen. So 2008 will be the year of "Do," though less in the sense that "There is no try" - I'm finding that not trying leads to the "Do not" part of this mangled Yoda saying. I'm going to read "do" and "try" as synonyms this year, every resulting outcome reading as "success".
27. What are your New Years Eve plans?
I didn't know what THIS year's plans were until approximately six PM on the day. So call me in about 360-odd days and we'll talk.
28. Will you have someone to kiss at midnight?
Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever kissed anyone at midnight on New Year's. So I guess the answer is: "probably not". But I'm okay with that.
