New Years Resolutions

Oh hey guys. I'm listening to the TV in the next room and am having little retaliations to the commercials in my head. Then I was all, "People should hear your opinions. You're important." And I was like, "Yeah."

There's that commercial that's got the impatient kids waiting for their dad to reach the Internet, saying "Are we there yet?" Sort of funny at first. Then that stupid kid goes "Mom, Dad doesn't know what he's doing." Well give him a break. You have terrible Internet connection. It's not his fault. Stupid little snitch.

I was dusting off the mantle above the fireplace today, when I realized we have a lot of little miniature cottages. They're so tiny, yet so intricate. You can see the grain in the wood doors too small for a marble to fit through, and each individual flower on the insane vines that have grown up to the roof. It would be marvelous to live there. It would be marvelous to live in Hobbiton too. My God, imagine living in the Shire! Where you just tend to your garden all day and read books in the grass and WHY DON'T I LIVE THERE. Dammit. Now I'm upset.

Or in Rivendell! That place is even more beautiful, it's so magical... Now I'm really upset. I want to live there. Actually, I went on a Church retreat last week, and I felt like I was actually in Rivendell. I just wanted to sit on that windowsill in the Church and look out over all the trees. And read, too.

Hey, I didn't make New Years Resolutions. Though I never have. But what's the harm. Besides, my friend's sister has made lists the past few years, then reviewed it a year later to see if she accomplished the things. It seems like a good idea.

Engage in some sort of sport
I'm a stupid lazy ass, I don't do anything. Why just a year ago I was on three basketball teams at once. I think it's the competition I don't like. And the fact that I've never been on a winning team, which has brought my self-esteem down. So I want to do an individual sport, like boxing. I know, I know, boxing isn't exactly individual. But I doubt Plymouth has a Girl's Youth Boxing League. So I could just box against my teacher, and have the experience to some day say, "Sport? Yeah, I boxed."

Join a yoga/pilates class
I can't reach my knees, never mind my toes. So taking one of these classes might loosen me up and make me feel better about myself. Plus, my friend's sister teaches a class, so it would probably be more comfortable environment.

Finish Lord of the Rings
I have been reading this far too long. I have to finish them, dammit!

Write something for the school newspaper
Wait, do we have a school newspaper? If not,

Write some sort of literature
That way, I'll have written something.

Check into a hospital
Because it seems like the right thing to do.

Be in a band
Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I don't play guitar. But I don't want to be in a girl band, because I am so sick of other girls. But the guys don't want to be in a band with me because I'm a girl. So this probably is never going to happen. Fuck you.

Make the perfect Sim WITHOUT cheating
...Fuck you. It's hard.

So, those are my resolutions. See you in a year.
