New Years Resolutions

[Kitsune Inferno]

Hmmmm.

01. Lose 120 lbs. I actually don't know where I'm at here, so it could only be 80lbs., but I think this'd be a realistic goal if I stuck to it, seeing as I was losing roughly ten pounds a month last year without getting extreme. Regardless, my target weight is quite specific and I really think I could do it with the right plan and support.

02. Finish my shit! Write fifteen hours a week, expand on that over the course of the year. Get something published or on track for publication.

Those are the main things. I'll add more when I think about them.~

[Bill]

What needs to be done for me in 2013.
-Finally get half-way decent at math.
-Get back into art.

-Find love.
That's it for me.

[Madara]

-find a girl for me XD

[zachri]

Resolutions: Live?

[Nex 0]

HAPPY NEW YEAR from all of us on the East Coast!

[MasterKingJC]

Happy New Year, everybody!!!!

[Nia]

This year I didn't even try to come up with a resolution.

[MDL]

• get over my crippling procrastination and motivation issues. (the following resolutions are very related)
• get (at least) season 1 of MLP fandubbed. i released the preview in october, for crying out loud.
• draw a little more regularly.
• write write write. song lyrics, stories, poems, whatever… as long as i actually start writing again, anything is fine.
• catch up on a shitload of anime/manga and tv shows.

...pretty much all of this falls under procrastination. so yeah, that's my main one.

[Nami]

Popping it up for everyone. Will do mine later. Happy nw year everyone!

[Epoida]

Well, 2013 was an odd year for sure. Admittedly probably on of the worst I've experienced, mostly towards the end. Death of a loved one, having a run-in with a car and receiving a concussion among other things, learning that you can't trust everybody, the whole shitty hospital/broken nose setting ordeal, the list goes on. However, there were the good things too, like continuing to try new things, all the time spent with my beloved relatives over each of these changing seasons, pretty much everything that happened from May to September, including joining AP and meeting all of you wonderful people. Now that has been a pleasure for sure.

Still 2013 here for another 8 hours and 33 minutes, but here's what I have so far in the way of resolutions:

• Obtain and maintain employment somewhere.

• Get back in shape; this dango on my belly isn't gonna work itself off!

• Conquer a childhood fear once and for all.

• Either master the bus system, find a carpooling partner, or make an attempt to obtain a driving permit; frankly, I'm sick of being stuck at home in the winter.

• If the first resolution is met, then start saving up for a place of my own (and set some money aside for travel, too).

• Find some friends close by who share common interests and aren't liars.

• Make time to continue improving my artistic skills.

…And manage to follow through with at least three of these resolutions. Happy New Years everybody! Here's hoping 2014 will be a fantastic year for all of us!

@Nex:

My biggest resolution this year is to finally start a Youtube Channel with the production "company" some buddies and I started a couple years back. We want to release something at llast once every two weeks.
Outside of that I want to finish at least 2 feature length scripts, I want to write more in general.

I need to think up more, but this year is weird as I actually met all of mine from last year, most of which had been on my list for years.

Failed all of these so hard, but for good reasons considering all my time is spent working for Sony now.

For this year my resolutions are simple:

1. Take my wife on a proper honeymoon
2. Work on Community season 6 in a bigger role
3. Do something else for Sony that is Community and/or a Soap Opera.
4. Not die. 2013 was way too good of a year to me. I'm convinced I'm going to get by a meteor.

[Commander Chopper]

Losing 10 to 15 kilos
getting rid of my laziness

[Silent K]

Move out of my parents' house before September comes when my minor or internship will start and to save up enough money to do one or both abroad and build up some reserves.
Either way, I absolutely don't want to stay with my parents any longer than is absolutely necessary, because they have more than proven this year that they don't give a shit about my wants and needs.

[Juvar]

Happy New Year everybody, I hope you are all having a great time!!!
Didn't make any proper resolutions, I feel that one should do this every day of the year and not just have an excuse once a year and then say "well, next year" as soon as they fail.

[shinpanman]

Happy New Year all! This will be the year of me getting back into art and making some progress on that after a long break for school. It probably wouldn't hurt to hit the gym either but I know myself better than that. Good luck to everyone in the new year.

[KaizokuJinbei]

my resolution is to continue living.

[cpuguy18]

Mine is to cut down on smoking (i smoke 2 packs a day) ive tried to quit many many times but i can't.

Save money I spent wayy to much money in 2013 hopefully i'm more frugal in 2014.

Grow a full beard.

[andre]

I wish I had bought a bunch of alcohol to drink.

New Years Resolution: Buy more alcohol
Learn to draw well

[KzTxL7]

Get a Job and Graduate College.

[Mr. Truth]

Happy new year everyone!! Off the top of my head my resolutions are to do well through the rest of senior year, graduate, get into and attend this one college, and make the most of my first semester there (and the rest obviously, but that isn't this year). Man this is going to be a crazy big year, but hopefully a great one as well.

[BartArt]

I swear to reading a book every two weeks in the calendar year 2014.

[Noqanky]

Happy New Year everyone!

I don't really make resolutions, but with such a great 2013 I only expect to make 2014 even better.

[Carmilla]

First and the most important one. to 'find myself'. I must think about lot of things and figure out what I want. Also to live without regrets, at least to not regret most of the things I do.

2nd. Not to be that dependent on others, in all ways. By the end of 2014 I'll be 18, I must learn how to live.

3rd. Not to care that much about relationships with people. It's important, but I mustn't let it destroy my life/studies, neither must I let depression to do that.
But at the same time I should try to have good relationships with people, and not always say what I think. and to stop complaining about everything -_-

4th. To never miss a chance to go somewhere just because I'm not on the mood, when someone invites me, .

5th. To learn expressing my feelings and thoughts, and to learn to talk properly, to make my pronunciation better both in Georgian and in English.

6th. To never waste time. If I'll be lazy to study, I can at least have fun. To study at least biology.

7th. To finish all the drawings I've started, which seemed good to me, but I didn't bother to finish. and to draw fanarts, lot of them. And to improve my drawing skills, to start going to a teacher.

8th. To finally start exercising and don't stop it after week passes xD To exercise whole year and be in shape. And to start swimming.

9th. To play bastion, finish house md, read at least one book of Dragonlance. To watch all the animes and read all the mangas I was going to.

And finally 10th one: To at least check these resolutions often, to not forget them.

[DarkFalcon]

To write truly splendid, exquisite work for my Bachelors degree in philosophy.
I would say to find a job, but that can't be resolution, since it also depend on job market and luck.
To improve my art skills.
Continue to collect knowledge.
And continue to gain infamy on Arlong Park waters.

[korobka]

I don't think I'm gonna make any specific resolutions this year. I guess I'm too jaded since I, and everyone else I know, never get around to following through on them. I'll just say that I hope I continue improving myself and my self-esteem like I did in 2013, and that I can keep myself happy. Is that bit too vague? Maybe. But the fact that my resolution is so vague means I'm probably more likely to fulfill it. And that's fine by me.

[Prismeru]

-uh, be nice to other people i guess.

[joesephes]

I have no resolutions this time around, but I will say this:

FUCK YOU 2013!! I hope you burn in hell!

And hello 2014! Here's to hoping that you don't suck. Cheers!

[TheCrystalShip]

2013 started out pretty okay and turned to shit. Hopefully the opposite will happen this year.

[Shipmate]

-Get to go to Germany.
-Get better at helping others and myself.
-Write something worth reading.

[Demon Rin]

My new years resolution is to finally start saving money properly.

I hope to have $7000 by July.

[Print Error]

If I can't sort out my benefits (which the job centre lost and have sat on their arses about fixing) and get a job in the next month or two, I'm needing to move back in with my parents, and given my mother's anxiety disorder, that would be very difficult. So if getting out of this current mess counts as a resolution, that's it.

[Arei]

My new years resolution is to keep on track with saving money. And definitely take more time out to spend with friends.

And may today not be an indicator for the rest of the year quality wise =____=

[Demonicpoodle]

As usual, too many. I'm gonna make one sweeping generalization for myself though as my resolution: ACTION is infinitely more important than your layout for all the possible ways the path to your action or the result of your action might be is. 2014. 4 is a strong number. Be focused. Four, focus. Hone your focus into a sniper's sight-line and absolutely annihilate your goals with unrelenting force. Ask yourself what you gained from something after you do it, to minimize unwanted time mis-prioritization.

This year ended strong. I want this one to be excellent all throughout.

[Smudger]

I think mine if anything, would be to stop relying on this day to make a change in my life and actively just get stuff done without the inspiration of time to drive me. SO in short treat every day like you all do new years, and see better productivity all year if possible.

[Nami]

My resolutions of last year @Nami:

MOVE TO OZ!

CHECK

• find a job

Even so it took me 3months after arriving in OZ, check. And I even had 2for the most time!

• get Money

Check

• save money

Check but I spend it all for a flight back home to attend the wedding of my best mates and deleting some debts I had. Oh and lastly, christmas presents.

• lose weight (I think this will be on my list forever)

Check but I gained some again, haha

• draw something showable at least once a week. Therefore I want to update my art thread weekly

Haha big fail. But thats alright with me. I dont feel bad about it.

• sew more own stuff and projects and not only for school (well, I'm only in school for one more month…)

Big check. After paying off debts, first thing i purchased with my new money was clothes, fabrics and a sewing machine. I've sewn a dress, hairbands, phone cases, tablet cases, pyjama pants and alterated lots of stuff

• work on my anger issues

Big check :)

• be done with the past

Working hard on this one and makin good progress

• cook and bake more

I did a bit more but I still consider myself lazy in this department

• smoke less (10 cigs max. a day, except parties)

Definitely failed this one XD

• be happy

BIG CHECK <3

On to new resolutions now!

[minus.]

Happy New Year 2014, everyone!
As every year I want to learn practical things, that will improve my probability of survival drastically:

-Train to be able to do proper chin-ups (in case of a cliff emergency)
-Learn to use morse code (since I read "Johnny Got his Gun" I have several nightmare scenarios that can only be solved via morse code)
-Learn to juggle (Every respectable human should be able to do this)

Also I'm seriously thinking of starting the One-Punch man training routine and see if it's possible to pull of at least 3 days a week. The 100 push ups might be true challenge, since I got noodle arms.

@Nami:

BIG CHECK <3

On to new resolutions now!

That's really nice to hear! :) Hope you can keep this resolution up in the new year and all the years to come!

[NER]

I need to gain weight, yup, thats about t.

[xan]

My resolution is to quit smoking this year. ALMOST broke it over the weekend

[TheCrystalShip]

@NER:

I need to gain weight, yup, thats about t.

Yeah me too,
I kind of dropped off my regimen. =__=

[Medical Orbit]

Quit Facebook on my main account that has my name, picture, and personal info. Also, delete all the information in the profile fields I've filled out and delete all of my statuses.
Try not to say anything in the heat of the moment. I usually overreact whenever something bad or even mildly inconvenient happens, and sometimes I say or do something that I end up regretting later. Year by year, I've gradually been getting better at waiting to cool down first before addressing a perceived problem, so I'm optimistic about this.
Try not to get involved in situations that could lead to the above. Sometimes, it's my fault that the above happens for going against my better judgment.
Clean out my desk, drawers, closet, etc. Get rid of everything that I don't want and have no use for anymore.

That's all I can think of for now.

[xan]

@Medical:

Strange but I have been thinking of doing something similar. It just seems to suck in all the time that I allocate for doing something useful. Although deletion is a little extreme, maybe I will just deactivate it and stay silent for some days. Give my brain a no-FB vacation perhaps.

[cpuguy18]

my resolution is to learn how to read Japanese. I want to read the one piece manga in japanese

[Kaitouu]

-Get in more Shape
-Make ShonenGameZ / GamingGrunts successful
-Make my Youtube Channel(s) successful

[Nami]

Ok here goes.

• Open an etsy shop and try to sell my selfmade stuff.
• Update my sewing fb page more often and hopefully gain a few more followers over the next year (100 likes would be great)
• get another tattoo
• get another piercing
• less procrastinating, more sewing
• continue to work on my relationship
• attend my dad's wedding
• attend a german festival and see my festival friends again
• travel somewhere nice (sydney, bali…)
• save money
• no matter what happens, continue to be happy and improve myself
• lose weight xD my goal is 60kg but 55 would be perfect.
• keep on reading lots of books
• reduce my smoking

Wow, that's a lot. But all doable
