- we often do things that we wouldn't otherwise. Like write this list. (Blame Hekate)


2009 resolutions and things to be resolved:

1. I will discover a pattern in what kind of cat food makes my cat throw up, throw up on my carpet, throw a hairball up, or not throw up.

2. I will endeavor to buy only the kind of canned cat food that fits the criteria of "not throw up" (see #1 for more details).

3. I will keep a dream diary for at least 15% of a given month, especially on Thursday nights. (after all: aim low, score high)

4. Turn the calender page once every month, preferably around the 30th or 31st, rather than two months later on that same date.

5. I will get published.

6. When it's Dec 29, 2009, I will not go to Poetry dot com to get published. It will not count.

7. I will not break another mp3 player.

8. I will take my cactuses and plant them outside. They will have a better chance at survival out there, than in here.

9. Nights are for sleeping. Days are for not sleeping. I will endeavor to remember this when it's getting closer to being ungodly early than ungodly late.

10. On that note, sleeping less than four hours is not healthy. On a regular basis, it is very unhealthy and makes my writing fail at being readable. I will try to remember this when I have deadlines.

11. I will respond to emails, and I will have a lag in my email box that is no longer than one month. Preferably no longer than one- well, let's make it two-and-a-half weeks.

12. While writing angsty, dark journals is amusing, interesting and will gain me popularity and infamy among the populace, I will refrain from having a ratio exceeding 3:2 (three positive journals to two i-drown-in-crymzen-tearz journals)

13. I live in a computer-ridden world. Learning a bit more of java is good. I will write a useful program that will make some function of my online browsing life easier. And I will use it. And I will take over the wor-

Ahem. Moving on.

14. I will read books for pleasure. Because that's just a good thing to do. And I will find time to do this because, come on, who doesn't have that extra five-ten minutes squirreled away?

15. I will clean out the shelf and closet in my room and put stuff on it that I will actually either use or want to look at on a regular basis. (Oh yes, Harry Potter Series and Jonathan Strange, I'm looking at you. Your days are numbered.)

Time to eat -

So that's all. Just some goals, ya/
