No resolutions: I am already perfect.

Now to read the thread and see how many others posted something to the same effect.

Okay, maybe I should take my calcium pills more often. But other than that. >.>


Only one. General, I am disappointed. :(

Thanks for repeating my joke.

I actually liked your "resolution": seriously, everyone has got to try 1920 x 1080, because the prices for such monitors have fallen so fast. Basically, it widens the field of vision of this site to a whole new level, and reduces the impact of the wall-of-text.

It is almost universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are praising it; consequently, the defenders of every kind of regime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they might have to stop using the word if it were tied down to any one meaning.

You could probably do most of those things within the span of 3 months.

Naah, I was a good student, and running and the gym were great stress releivers. Excercise and study are not tradeoffs, they're complementary, in my experience.

It WILL NOT end. Not in December, not earlier and not later. Not if I can prevent it.

Alternatively, what puts you off from making one?

In my opinion, a core reason for not making one is the potential for sudden change. In fact in 2010 I did not expect to continue education, and had I resolved to go travelling, university wouldn't have let me achieve it. Also, losing weight is definitely out because of the workload.

Happy New Year for the Gregorian calendar.

Meh, I don't have one. Whatever comes up in my mind I just do it, no planning involved.

Bah, just prepare for the end and go with the flow. In Mayan mythology the world has 'ended' four times already, with some humans surviving the 'end' anyway.
