Get laid more. And meet more people. These two will probably work together in some way.

2012 (particularly the end of the year) ended up being a little more significant than I had anticipated, and has set up some potentially interesting (and hopefully positive) things for 2013.

- Moving. I've been pretty miserable in my current home (plagued by poor building construction and plumbing problems) so I am going to sell and move into a new apartment. I've already got a new place with my name on it. Just waiting for construction to finish and then I'll sign a lease and get the keys to my new digs. So February looks like it'll be full of cleaning, painting, packing, moving, unpacking, etc.

- New car. Silly, insignificant and not even remotely important, I suppose. But damnit I want a new car and I will reward myself with one as soon as I have sold my (current, soon to be old) property.

- New job? It's a question mark and there's no guarantee of success but it's something that I am going to put a lot of energy into, particularly in the second half of the year after the above goals have been achieved.

- Vacation to England. I've been twice before but this time it sounds like the entire family is going. That could be... interesting.

- Medication! In December, I visited a psychiatrist to get medicated for generalized anxiety. The prescription I'm on now is okay - not horrible, not great - so hopefully we'll figure out the right drug(s) for me and I'll begin to lead an anxiety-free life for the first time in... well... ever.

- Make myself happy. All of the goals listed above contribute to this overarching goal of leading a happier life. Do the things that I want to do and the things that I need to do to make me a better, happier person.

I've never been, but I'm pumped.

Yeah, that's what I keep telling myself.

Been on my list for every new year for so long I don't even think of it. It's sort of part of my standard agreement with myself for the coming year. Has worked...moderately well. At least I've actually gotten to know some new people over the last year and will try and keep that up in the coming year.

Or I could just follow up on my threat before the (very anticlimactic) Apocalypse a few weeks ago and just arrange an orgy.

RoJoHen · January 7 2013, 08:43 PM

I met so many awesome new people last year that I honestly don't want to meet too many more this year. Too much to juggle.

I could stand to get laid more, though, considering it's been...way longer than I care to say.

QFT

In fact, I could have written this word for word.

I think the most important thing I need to focus on is figure out what I want to do with my life and get some sort of education for it. I have three unfinished degrees all in areas that now have little or no appeal to me.

Probably the easiest thing I can do for the year is get back into shape. Over the holiday, my brother, cousins and I were discussing hiking the Appalachian Trail summer 2014, but as it is, I don't think I last half-a-day.

Good luck on that, and I mean it.

I spent 5 minutes thinking about this and realized I'm at exactly the same place I was this time last year, with exactly the same hopes and plans none of which have budged one bit. Fuck.

Ah, hell, mac would never do that to us. Would she?

I'm continuing to get back into shape. I'm running a 5K later this month and then I'm going to start training for a half-marathon.

trekkiedane · January 8 2013, 02:42 AM

Only two things planned, but those are biggies for me: I'm going on vacation alone (booked the flight a couple of days ago) and -apparently- the next New Years party is going to be at my place...

I'll be there with bells on.

And nothing else.
