I'm going to be totally different this year, and make *achievable* resolutions for myself this year! See, half the world is being pessimistic and going, "to hell with resolutions, it's not cool these days," and the other half are going "whee, more things I can add to my *unachievable* list."

See, I'm unique and all.

1. Be nice to people when they don't deserve them.
2. Get portrait drawing advice from Julie and draw at least one portrait of sexy good role-models bi-weekly.
3. Make tiny cards/bookmarks/artsy stuff for a different person every week for three consecutive months.
4. Read at least 2 books every month and write a little review of each.
5. Choose to walk home instead of taking the bus whenever I'm not in extreme discomfort.
6. (Find a job, perchance one that pays relatively well for a delinquent like me?)

I think that's it for now, and I've pasted a big list on top of my computer desk so it's easily visible to me and everyone else every waking moment of this new and hopefully full-of-smiles year.

Also, for I'm late, a very happy belated Eid to everyone. And of course HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hope you all had excellent Christmases, Kwanzaas, Yules, Winter Solstices, Hanukkahs, St. Stevens Days, Boxing Days, and whatever else you celebrate somewhere around now! Have fun, enjoy, and be the lovely little cheery people that I know you all are.
