New Year's Resolutions

[usullusa]

I have never made New Year's Resolutions before in my life. I always thought they were sort of silly and it's not a tradition that runs in my family, my mother being Russian and my father being Armenian, and basically nobody being Western at all. I'm fairly certain this is a Western tradition. In Soviet Russia New Year's was really Christmas because religion was banned so they had a secular holiday for tree decorating and gift-giving. So basically no New Year's Resolutions because everyone was too busy doing the Christmas thing. But this year there are some things I want to happen. I'm not thinking of these are resolutions as much as a to-do list. So, here goes nothing.

To-Do List for 2009

• Write every single day. Even on really busy days, like during exam week, I must take the time to scrawl down one sentence I can be proud of while riding the subway.
  
• Get either an internship or a job that pays me money. Both would be nice, but not a requirement.
  
• Eat more fruits and vegetables. A lot more. (Because I fear I will die of scurvy soon.)
  
• Take care of my skin.
  
• Do something during the summer other than sit on my bum, be it stay in the city and find a job that is worth my while, go on an interesting trip, or really anything that will separate summer 2009 from the rest of the boring summers that have paraded through my life.
  
• Read one book for pleasure every three weeks. (O! Books! How I miss you!)
  
• Finally: loosen up!

In Soviet Russia...

My New Year's resolution will be to stop making Soviet Russia jokes. XD ...as if.

Ahahaha. Soviet Russia jokes are hilarious though. My fb status has been "In Soviet Volstov, dragon ride YOU" for about a week now. >:D

I do love them so... and er you'll see my LJ NAME is set to that too, so...

*sporfle*

and my fb status usually references Havemercy at some point XD;

Right, because what else is fb for if not to baffle your non-fandom friends with fandom references? :D

Except I have all of five friends, and one of them is iambickilometer and two of the others at least know what Havemercy is.

But yes, on principle...

Wow, that is kind of awesome. I wish. My friends on fb have currently decided to take my status as a euphemism and are discussing the mechanics/possibility of dragon x people porn.
