Resolving
so, mm, yes. I just finished typing up the whole "things what I wrote in 2006" post, with coding and links and all...only to realize that I can't actually post it until the ds_ss reveals go up tonight, since I want to put that in. Mmmmyes. I am both beautiful and talented!
Still, I'll be gone this evening when all the well-wishing goes down, so: Happy 2007, everyone! May it be filled with joy and love and plenty of good sex (fictional and nonfictional, hopefully!). You have all been wonderfully good to me, and I love you in a sprawling, flailing, undignified sort of way. To list the ways and wherefores would be time-consuming and embarassing, so I'll just say: rock on with your bad selves, people, and here's me hoping to see more of you in the coming year.
also, because no year is complete without them: Resolutions!
- I am going to be more social! I am going to initiate contact with the people I want to get to know, and I'm going to try very very hard not to be a scary bitch when people approach me, and I'm going to be better about maintaining contact with the people I like.
- To that end, I'm going to go to discussion group regularly, and I'm going to talk more with the new co-workers, especially the puppies, and I'm going to be friendly to the people in my classes, unless they're assholes, in which case all bets are off. And I'm also going to invite A. and A. over to the flat for tea! As often as possible!
- I'm going to read more books. Fic is all well and good (and I love it dearly!), but I want to read more things that I can discuss with my mother.
- I'm going to try to stop having crushes on unattainable people. And - I mean, I would list them here so that you could all point and laugh and take me to task should I start to yearn some more? but, really, no. The list would be long, and it would be embarassing, and, really, no. Just - no.
- I'm going to write for ten minutes every day*! Because WriSoMiFu really worked, back when I was doing it - I wrote 12,767 words in November, which is mind-blowingly productive, for me, and I really liked the way that felt, so. Writing! (Hopefully, this will allow me to get rid of some of the longer stories on my hard drive, but I know better than to try and make that a resolution)
*Except possibly for the 1st and 2nd, when I will be on planes and in cars with the family - I mean, I could write? but not with my brother watching, sorry.
So, yeah. I'm going to be less of an antisocial dumbfuck! and also write more porn.
This afternoon, I finally dragged my family down to Powell's, which - god, that's totally my happy place. Books and books and books! and the sort of people that Borders had when I was small and it was still cool. (side note: I have t-shirts from Borders Young Readers Club, back when they still did that sort of thing. They rock.) Powell's isn't as enormous as I remember it, seeing as I haven't been there in several years, but it's still awesome and I still wanted to buy more books than would fit in my suitcase even if I left all of my clothes here. Managed to restrain myself, though, and wound up with three books of short stories - one by Isaac Asimov, one by Ursula Leguin, and one by Neil Gaiman.
Also - I don't think I mentioned this? - but my mom and Flatmate A conspired together to get me boots for Christmas, and I am as happy as a clam at high tide. Knee high! Black leather! Do not be surprised if you find yourselves suddenly unable to resist my charms.
aaaaaaand yes. I'm going to go read, now. Kisses to you all! See you on Wednesday!
