I just want to do better at school. I am not happy with my exam results this year. The highest I got was about 89%, and the rest were somewhere around the seventies. Oh, and I got 12% in Religion. A brilliant end to my first year of Middle School.

[Mallick]

[Yuki]

:D

[TheEnglishman]

I've got no new year's resolutions cause I just can't keep them, no matter how hard I try.

[Mallick]

*Walks into a wall* Ahz agurr

[Split Infinity]

Is Percy drunk? I'm having trouble telling the difference.

Nah he's always like this.

[Split Infinity]

Poor guy must have the worst headaches...

[Mallick]

The funny thing is, I have a really bad headache right now. >_>

[Mycarayne]

Funny thing is, it was New Year's Eve last night and I had 6 rums+cokes and didn't wake up with a headache.
--
New year's resolutions:

Get a new girlfreind. (Preferably one that loves playing videogames)
Get a new and much better car.
A new computer would be nice, but not entirely necessary.
Get to lvl 100 on Maple Story. My life in consumed by this freakin' game.

[Andross]

-Learn PHP + JavaScript/DOM
-Make more money off of web design and selling prints
-Get a good community started at Zappo (small but very active)
-Do anything necessary to get a Nikon D200 and a car (98 Civic would be best)
-Possibly a girlfriend (but not pertinent)

Some guy I know has a shirt like that.

[Someone Else]

New Years resolutions????

New Years resolutions????

WTF are those?!

Kidding.

I don't do any of that self-improvement crap. How can you improve something that's perfect??

[Elliott]

Calm down, mature, and generally grow up a little. That's pretty much it.

[Split Infinity]

Are you talking to us, or is that your resolution?

[Eugine]

I think that's his NY resolution.

About mines, I don't think I'd have any, I never follow them.

[Someone Else]

You never know, he could have been talking to me. :P

[Elliott]

No the topic asked what people's new years resolutions are so I gave mine.

[Golden Legacy]

I share similar resolutions with Agatio. I'd like to learn to relax, not always be anxious... naturally, also, I vow to work hard to do well in school, particularly all those Advance Placement Subjects...

And to learn Web Design and such (I'm finally learning HTML, and plan to begin PHP, and later Flash)...

[Mallick]

I actually want to learn PHP.

Oh and I want to become rich on Maple, but that's not really a resolution.

[Elliott]

Couple of code monkey wannabes I see ;P .

Learn and master xHTML/CSS first before attempting PHP. You will need the former to even understand the basics of PHP as they need each other to work. Also learn simple Javascript as that and PHP share some similarities.

Oh and aside from what I mentioned earlier, some goals are a car like Andross mentioned and just to save more from my crummy $10 job.

[Golden Legacy]

Well, all right Agatio, if you say so... of course, I wouldn't have known myself.

I guess that's something else I should work on. I should actually plan out the things I do, rather than just setting myself ambitious goals and expecting myself to do them.

[Sea of Time]

I want to beat FE:PoR and do some other crazy crap in my 16th year.

[TheEnglishman]

I'll make that my resolution as well. So far I'm failing. I'm only on chapter 9! :P

[Mars Djinni]

Chapter 18 and still going, for me. I wouldn't make it too much of a resolution 'cause I don't want ti to dominate my priorities too much.

Whoa! My dad got himself one of them.
It's pretty gnarly.

[Golden Legacy]

Well, to go on a slight tangent, if that's all right... how well do most people abide by their resolutions?

Most of the resolutions I set for myself tend to be more ideological (i.e. being a more mature person, studying more, etc.), so it's a somewhat difficult call for me... I suppose I've had my fair share of both achieved resolutions and others that have fallen short, often times because I expect too much of myself.

[Elliott]

1 day at a time. 1 hour at a time. 1 minute at a time.
Rather than say "I am going to be a more mature person forever!", I will say, "I am going to be more mature this hours". 24 hours later I have gotten through the day abiding by the resolution.

[Golden Legacy]

That certainly is one way to view it, and probably the more effective means of doing so. But does this work in all cases? Dividing up into different time intervals might be more manageable, however, it's more fulfilling to achieve it in a longer time duration...

Just my opinion, of course. I always feel that one should try to take on themselves as much as possible. When I say to myself, "I vow to study more", I expect myself to dedicate as much time as possible to reviewing material, and I'll see how I handle it.

If it becomes too difficult, I sometimes end up revising the resolution to a slightly lesser, more relaxed degree (i.e. studying for a set number of hours, as Agatio suggested, is a good example).

[Echo_djinn]

To do better in school. I am getting closer to graduation and I think it's time for me to at least start trying. Maybe I should get into the homework club.......

[kate]

My new year's resolution is to stop being so cool. Because honestly, I think I've actually managed to become too awesome.

See Ed, that's what you should've said. Not this school thing. I mean, homework club? actually I'm not going to comment on it considering if our school had one I would probably be president B)

Personally my new year's resolution is to stop effing my life up so bad when things are going right XD I'm like that person that steps on rakes. Actually I don't know what that has to do with anything, but I feel the rake-person is unappreciated.

[Echo_djinn]

Look at kate, I am not that predictable am I? Plus, it's not cool to brag about how cool you are. All that matters is how sexy you are. If you look up the word sexy I am sure you'll see a picture of me there. B)

My new New year resolution: To be even more sexier than last year. Hazahh!!!

[kate]

Oooo, 3 days into the new year and you've failed already ed. and considering your sexiness was at a bare minimum already, your future doesn't look to bright on the sexy front. No, I predict a year of bad fashion sense and a lack of the ladies.

[Luna]

Shebah plans to regain the emotional/psychological strength she used to have >_>;

And she also wants to balance her nervous and immune system. It doesn't feel like anything happens for 98% of the year and then BAM, breakdown.

And she also wants to finish reading that freaking pile of books that just grows bigger every year cause I can't read one book at once D:

[Split Infinity]

You have it easy Sheba...I can't read any books at once.

[TheEnglishman]

Weird. I don't have enough books to read. I've only got two at the moment.

[Yuki]

My New Years resolution is the same it always is::
Lose weight, and get in better shape.

My other resolution includes seeing 'Queen Of The Damned' and conquering my fear of the Van Hellsing walkthrough at Universal Studios Hollywood.

[l3lueMage]

you havent seen queen of the damned? O_O I have seen it like 3 times good movie >.>

[Someone Else]

I hate movies. n.n; I feel awful when I have to stand up again.

I guess the only resolution I might have is...

-Find a frikkin' Wind Waker ROM that's ACTUALLY a ROM.

-Either that, or get a Revolution when it comes out sometime in November.

[kate]

ooo gaming resolutions...umm...stop being so obsessed about ffx and so ashamed of ffx-2

-Try and get over the fact that they named the newest zelda game "twilight princess"

-Try and find enough money to quench my gaming thirst

-Finish playing a freaking game >.< because I never do! I start 5 and never finish them..

[Eugine]

Queen of the damned was really good. It would have been even better if Aliyah didn't die. Why did she die?! *cries*

Oh, I also prefer FFX-2 to X. FFX-2 only had a ****ty story.

[kate]

I can't figure out the fighting. I mean, I'm good with turn based and awesome with real time, but real time turn based?? That confused the heck outta me. And the dialogue was shiznit. ffx is pretty much a 200 hour movie wrapped in a 2 hours of actual playing time. Fortunately I love movies, and Tidus is my hero.

Why did you just do that?

[Golden Legacy]

Kindly in the future, please do not simply respond to these... if you see a double post, or anything else of the sort, then either inform the member who posted it, or report it.

Don't worry Eugine, I'll take care of it.


Now, on another note, yes I agree with Wind Dude, I suppose I resolve to get a Revolution sometime later this year. But only if I do well on my APs...

No, I haven't. Parents think I'm immature, and they're partially right >:P

That, and The Vampire Lestat since I've already read the books.

[Rhym Soultaker]

Not that I'll ever follow my NYRs but mine at the moment would probably be.... to be more organised in general. And less lazy! B)

[Laharl]

i've got a decent one this year which is to less musically biased and try to stop dismissing things as crap without giving them a try

[el_Sethro]

I don't do New Year's resolutions; I just resolve things as I think of them. Currently I'm working on these ones:

1. stop biting my nails
2. stay on top of schoolwork (although really, this is really a general goal, not a resolution)
3. study Russian because I don't know anything and I'm going to Russia in three months.

and that's all I can think of. I already gave up candy and drastically reduced the amount of TV I watch years ago (and I've never missed them since my resolution) also, I'm going to bed earlier.

ooh - I remembered another one: I remain vigilant in making sure I NEVER say "like" inappropriately. I'm not bad for it, but it slips out occasionally, and I detest it.

[MysticWarrior]

I would've resolved to stop being lazy if I wasn't so lazy. Man, this thing's troublesome.
