In general, I can't stand New Year's Resolutions.  I get why people make them - any starting date for any change is arbitrary, so why not do so while you have the support of the people around you? - but I'm personally bad at them.  My resolutions tend to be things like losing weight and cutting out soda.  Let me tell you, trying to make dramatic eating changes and Lift All the Things while still coming out of a holiday sugar coma is a guaranteed recipe to make me cranky.  Oh, and as for … [Read more...]

Did anyone see where the first half of 2011 went? If you find it, would you tell it to come back to me? Because I had a lot of things I wanted to accomplish, and I’m sure I could get them done if I could just have those 6 months back. Seriously, time flies when you’re having fun. Among all the things I wanted to get done while time was flying away from me were my geeky New Year’s resolutions.

I resolve to stop writing my enemies' names over and over in my notebooks … [Read more...]
