Another Year, another set of Resolutions to create that will just fly out the door.

But this year will be different. I can just feel it in my bones.

Last year was wonderful and heartbreaking. Full of triumphs, new friends, celebrations, funerals, many tears, and despair. I haven't really discussed a whole lot of what's been happening to me simply because I feel like I'm whining or complaining or that nothing I have to say is of any importance. Although I do write down many things that are important to me, I am resolving to do some of the following:

a. Volunteer. I'm definately going to stay with Rock For Aids, spearheaded by the lovely

vanae12 and

happyhien but I am also going to help out with Fanime Con and perhaps another charity organization. I'm still feeling that need to do good in the my corner of the world.

b. Saving. Start saving up for trips. Australia, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, NYC, Texas, Vancouver, and Cabo San Lucas are all being planned for the next two years. ^_^ Yeah....the travel-bug bit me hard.

c. Stay Healthy. As soon as my body kicks out the flu bug, I'm hitting the gym and start up my cardio kickboxing classes again. Need to look good in that bridesmaid dress in April! That also means, not working so much overtime (*glares at co-worker*) and getting enough sleep (yes, Jate, I still want you to get as much sleep as I do. :-P )

d. Love lustily. That means I'm going to appreciate everyone who comes into my life, tell my loved ones that I love/adore them, and enjoy every single moment that comes by. Because there's so much to do in life and only so much to do it. I don't want to move to the next stage without people saying "Yup. She knew how to enjoy every moment and appreciate everything that came her way." Sitting through way too many funerals just cemented this for me.

e. Learn new things. I'm going to learn how to dance hip hop and salsa. Because it's all that hip shaking, y0. Pretty mesmerizing.

f. Be more active in my rpgs and not slack off. Erm. Yeah. I am a slacker. *shifty eyes*

g. Resist the shiny that are Anime DVDs. ._. Another hard one to resist because I am a compulsive collector. And Hikaru no Go is going to be out on DVD as well as some of my other favorite series.

h. Wear more perfume. Because I received so much and bought a lot of BPAL. I swear everyone gave me Sweet Pea from Bath & Body Works and perfume for Christmas. What? You people don't think I smell girly enough? And BPAL is an addiction all it's own.....so I'm wearing pretty scents. Want to come closer and smell? ^_~ *resolves to finish some bottles this year...either through copious slathering or giving them away*

i. WoW. Yes. Must play more. World of Warcraft is sucking my life away, thanks to all the gift cards for time that I've received for Christmas and birthday. WoW is all nice and shiny and omg!EXPANSIONPACK. Blood Elves for the Horde, here I come! ;-)

Let's see how many of these I'll be able to keep this year. I'm thinking a., i., and e. are the only ones that are going to be kept. Yup. *nods*

Erm....I had other nice and pretty words laid out in my mind but I forget what to write since I'm easily distracted by work and fic and omg!pretty pics (esp. by my lovely

myrafur and

red_rahl) and my awesome

vanillaskyychat girls, all whom are beautiful, wonderful, and amazing.

Now I'm off to ~~read some fics~~ work my bootie off. *loves*

EDIT: GAH!!! I am SOOO BAD. HAPPY BIRTHDAY altui!!!!!!! I hope it was the best ever, filled with hot Japanese boys singing to you.
