new years resolve to no resolutions

happy jan 2.
i have off from shakespeare today but i'm paiting a floor for H st. playhouse. they're nice and low key. two traits i enjoy in people.
i've thought a lot about resolutions. mostly because i like making lists. and crossing stuff off gives me that false sense of accomplishment i crave.
a friend pointed this out to me:

In the year 2006 I resolve to:

Take over the world.



Get your resolution here



seems a noble effort, but i'll leave that one for colleen.
i do know this year i will drink more water. eat less sugar. try to work smarter. which might mean procrastinate less, but i doubt that would happen.
this was my list from last year (in italics). updates in bold.
1. stop over scheduling yourself. good. with the exception of the stupid beauty and the beast job which totally f-ed me over, i did take less projects this year
2. see more of your friends. make some new friends. at least try to meet one new person per month. this started out well. then i became my misanthropic self by may.
3. be more organized while still need to work on this, i can say yes. i was slightly more organized in 2005
4. get a g*d* webpage hey! i did that one!!
5. maybe less swearing...maybe... HAHAHAHAA
6. (I'm stealing this from miss colleen)do 2 craft shows this year. i'm figuring one will be in the fall at crafty bastards. i dunno when the other one will be. or where. failed miserably at this.
7. do more stuff like this: http://www.loobylu.com/softies/index.html that way i'll have deadlines and project ideas that i won't have given myself. participated in illustration friday twice. attempted month of softies once,but didn't finish...
8. feel better, get healthy, yadda yadda yadda.
9. purchase less make up. it's retarded to buy something i don't really use. but i still love it.
10. play bass again. it's officially been a year since i've played my poor bass. it needs some love did record a bass line to a song with ryan.
11. save $ for house/new living situation....apres paris. um. not even close
12. knit an actualy bonda fide garment. enought with the hats and scarves. it's time to move on to sweater town! did make a complicated hat....
13. make more art. good
14. have more parties. one/season i think.
15. walk more
16. go to the museums at least once/month. it's also retarded how infrequently i go.
17. try one new restaurant/month. i'm a creature of habit and it's time to knock that off. started out well....petered out sometime in july i think
18. finish stripping wall paper process- paint bedroom. hopefully convince ryan the same needs to happen in the living room. DONE!
19. make schedules, stick to them.
20. be nicer.
21. find new job. oh, sad....failed miserably on this one too.....

so....i dunno, not bad i guess... i think the biggest problem is my followthrough or lack thereof maybe.

my new years eve was nice. thanks to colleen, alicia, ann, soffia coppola's crappy champagne and the fact that bitchboots came out with us to the art romp. giggling in the new year with bitchboots was really nice. infact, i can't think of a better way to have celebrated....well...i can, but let's leave it that for right now
