// goals for 2006.updates

o This web site in itself is part of my goals for 2006. I fell out of page design after my brother became addicted to Everquest and I started dating because gaining Internet time was a constant battle and therefore quit being a huge priority compared to hanging around Brent. This is why I’ve created an entire site out of something so personally indulgent as New Year’s resolutions; it’s not because I think anybody actually cares (or even wants to know, for that matter), but rather because I need to make sure my basic design skills don’t rust.

o As you can see by this initial design, they are quite atrophied. This is mostly due to the continued battle to motivate myself to create content. I figured there’s no sense in working on design before I have all of the pages created and text available. It’ll come eventually.

o For now, though, I’m focused on the updating and the sticking with this entire endeavor. By December 31, 2006, I hope to have stuck with this damn project and maybe even have accomplished a decently professional-looking design. I also hope to have left geocities for a more friendly webhost (without that damn panel in the right-hand corner).

05.01.06 -Caffeine's on the run, but so is my journal page count (and not in a good way).
04.27.06 -I kicked ass at trivia and took details.
04.24.06 -Covered the current updates on my finding a home, DDR and reading goals.
04.19.06 -Another happy update, this time about actually succeeding at trimming my closet.
04.18.06 -Reported on my current savings status.
04.10.06 -Brought my visits to matt and my movie-watching ventures up to date.
04.06.06 -Put up my first positive update in a while, as well as yet another not-so-positive one.
04.03.06 -Posted the sad lack of update for my journal writing.
04.02.06 -Provided the long-needed keeping in touch update, as well as small status reports
on my face-clearing and short story goals.
03.27.06 -Extolled on the patheticness of my reading and anime-watching goals.
03.22.06 -Updated my weight and caffeine goals and documented my first sure failure.
03.16.06 -Updated my phone goal; it's not a happy one.
03.14.06 -Made my montly status updates for visiting matt, thinning out my closet and
seeing more movies. Two of the three are rather disheartening.
03.13.06 -Posted updates for my DDR and savings goals and elaborated on the lack of
such for my decorative artwork and beer-swilling ones.
03.06.06 -Recorded the last seven recipes that I've cooked and revealed my stunning progress
on this particular goal. Also posted a picture of Chairman Meow and Trevor(a).
03.02.06 -Displayed the rather dreary update on my bowling goal.
03.01.06 -Posted another short update to keeping my journal.
02.28.06 -Finally posted the long-overdue update for my Japanese lesson progress (or lack
thereof) as well as the paltry offerings in my anime section.
02.27.06 -Posted the update for the take more pictures initiative along with nine of the ones
I've taken so far.
02.26.06 -Composed a short bit of the current problems with clearing my face and added a
scary picture of January's [lack of] progress. Posted my current page count for
journal entries.
02.25.06 -Recorded my total so far for pages read, as well as short bits about the books
themselves.
02.20.06 -Added year-to-date update for weight loss page as well as the current hitches in
my find a home and attend ACEN in costume goals.
02.19.06 -Added year-to-date update for caffeine and sweetener reduction page.
02.17.06 -Corrected totals for donation to Salvation Army after finding my actual count. I
was way undercutting how much I'd gotten rid of--recorded that I'd taken 13 items
of clothing instead of the actual count of 25.
02.16.06 -Added updates on my donation to Salvation Army and my play date with my turtle.
02.13.06 -Added updates on my recent visits with matt, grade levels in DDR, and the amount
I've put into savings so far.
02.07.06 -Added information about the two movies I've watched so far, as well as a short
update, to watch thirty movies page. Began adding version numbers to the title
bars of each page as I realized that even if I come up with a new design any time
soon, I won't be able to blanket update all 40-some pages at once, or even in the
same week. Hence, tracking method.
02.06.06 -Added information about the five recipes I've cooked so far, as well as a short
update, to cook fifty recipes page.
01.31.06 -Added "North By Northwest" and "Igby Goes Down" to movie list. Added
introductory text to home page. Clarified journal requirements. Added story about
my pair of tights to reduce closet size page. Updated current situation on starting
my army of pets.
01.23.06 -Added content to create decorating artwork and go to bartending school (They're
all up, finally!).
01.19.06 -Added content to watch movies.
01.18.06 -Added content to receive a raise, ace ddr songs, do freelance design work,
reduce closet size, cook a given number of recipes, visit matt, take more pictures,
work through calculus book and reinvest twx money. Deleted resolution to make
friends, because I realized I don't actually want friends of my own.
01.16.06 -Added content to fly out for a long weekend and spend more time with trevor(a).
Added explanatory content to this page.

01.11.06 -Added content to watch anime and take a road trip.

01.08.06 -Added content to read 20,000 pages, keep in touch, take ballroom dancing lessons,
get a new phone plan and clear face pages. Reorganized the links on the main page to
indicate what content hasn't been added.

01.02.06 -Added content to find a home, avoid my reunion, maintain journal, add $10,000 to
savings, reach top ten in trivia, dress as plenair for acen and win nanowrimo pages.

12.31.05 -Added content to army of pets, send christmas cards, try out for jeopardy, and give up
caffeine pages. Added send christmas cards and avoid high school reunion pages.

12.28.05 -Fixed background issues. Added content to weight loss and learn japanese. Changed
the link color on all pages except home base.

12.26.05 -Technical site launch. Added home base and update pages as well as a background
