I want to run a half-marathon in 2008. I'll start off with 5 miles today (which is what I usually run) and work my way up.
And spend less money! That's a big one.
I had a great New Year's Eve! We went to a neighbor's house for a party and saw lots of friends we haven't seen in awhile. They had plenty of good wine and fantastic food. We left the kids home to have their own party (the 31st was also my daughter's 14th birthday) ... much sparkling cider was consumed! And there was birthday cake to feast on when we got home at 1 AM. YUM!
Now I'm sitting here madly writing cards (they were supposed to be Christmas cards, but now they're New Year's cards.)
Okay, really... exercise more. I'm already in shape, but I need to be stronger if I want to compete successfully with my horse at Novice and Training level in eventing.
And that's my other goal for the year, reach Training level by October It's a pretty ambitious goal, but hopefully we can do it.
Well to start off the new year I got my hair cut like Pauls I always wanted that hair style so...I got it. Course my mum was all like OMG! but she did admit it looked cute
Other than that I'm going to take school seriously, work my butt off for scholarships for college.
And no boys. I am not interested in having a relationship. Course my celebrity crushes don't fall under this. I will continue to love PM no matter what
But I'm tired of trying so hard to get a guy. So...enoughs enough. I shouldn't have to work so hard for affection. So.....none for me
I only could watch Sunday for once - I love the beginning, but hate the end... Anyway, I'm also waiting for Kindred but I don't think I'll cry when I see Carson... I'll just be very very happy.
Still couldn't bring myself to watching 'Sunday' although I guess it's kind of childish to not do so since I've watched the part in which Carson died and the memoreal service as preparation for my fix-it ficlet. But having to see it broke my heart into a million pieces and I honestly sobbed for days before being able to get a hold of myself. No other character ever touched my heart like Beckett did with his examplary integrity and compassion. He of all people didn't deserve to die. And Atlantis has never been the same.
I cry a lot anymore. I'm pretty depressed. I don't go to a shrink or anything, though, if my mom knew I was as depressed as I am, I'd be sitting in a shrink's office right now.
Lucky you, no depression.
Sorry to hear you feel so depressed. *hugs and good vibes for you*
Maybe it's just the "protection" they use for the DVDs so the computers aren't able to read them (in order to prevent piracy). I've had that problem with albums from one group. I'm sure it will work in the real DVD player.
I agree with Oda, that's probably it. I know there is a reason why I feed the DVD player signal into my computer to avoid such problems. Can't you connect your DVD player and computer via firewire, idlewild? That should make it work.
I hope to reduce my work load and steel myself for saying 'no' to my boss more often when he asks for the impossible. I hadn't had one sigle day off for two and a half years, and I'm in desperate need of a holiday.

I think about proposing to my friend. I know it's usually the guy who does this but he's not someone for romantic stuff, yet I am, and I want to make that moment special... *hangs head*

WOW, that's quite a New Year's Resolution!
Spoiler:
Best of luck, Twinny! I know plenty of happy couples where the gal was the one who proposed. I'll be thinking about you!
Thank you everybody for the good wishes for the new year!
Live long and prosper!

good luck with that, don't get stressed out because of them
Spoiler:
good luck with the proposal after all tis the season, well from what i'm seeing and hearing anyways.
yes I know I've been resurrected from the dead i haven't posted in such a long time, blame school work and stress.
My mom knows and sent me to a shrink. My shrink is nice but I suspect she is a robot. Most of my sessions are spent with her observing me twiddle my fingers in silence. It's very boring, sometimes I feel embarrased to tell people about
*hugs* I went to a shrink, too in my high school, when I was depressed (my dad's alcoholism), but she was so nice. I hope you feel better soon.*hugs again*
Fantastic pics; no other way to celebrate your milestone, Oda!
Thanks Twinny. *hugs*

OT
Spoiler:
SQUEEE!! That sounds great! I will keep my fingers crossed for you.*hugs*
I was kind of busy with my school stuff. So a bit late, but still:
Happy new year!!!
I wish you all to stay healthy, happy and to keep thunking our thunk-man.

Take more time to thunk? Ohh, or take time to make more screencaps, or both! *grins*
Actually, OT Resolutions ...
Spoiler:
Other than the typical exercise more, mine is to have more patients with the whole immigration process. A person could go crazy with all the stuff that is required ... Also, to be more outgoing. I'm pretty shy about a lot of things (especially when I first meet people, and putting myself out on a limb). It's one of the things I really want to change ... So here's to 2008!
Good luck to everyone with their resolutions! I hope everyone is able to achieve all of their goals, and beyond, in 2008! *group hug*

Oh! Good luck, Twin! I'll be thinking about you and hoping for you. It's a very special time, no matter who does the asking!
Now, to keeping up with the first part of my first resolution to thunk more, some caps ...
Spoiler:
And something a little random, cause I'm in that kind of mood ...
Cheers!

Ha, for the first time in weeks I've got a little spare time at hand, so I'll give you a small glimps at what have been my biggest woes around the holidays that got me so worked up and then I'll reward you all with a supreme pic spam! (Of course you can just skip the woes part and jump right away to the pics... )
Here cometh OT:
Spoiler:
Wednesday before Christmas was supposed to be my last working day, and I really hoped I could leave after about three or four hours in the office because I had worked till after midnight the day before, and hoped to catch up with a bit of sleep. As you can imagine, I didn't get home until half past six, three hours late. But I thought, 'What the heck, after all it was my last day in the office for two weeks.' The next day around late afternoon my boss called and told me I had to come to the office first thing on Friday morning because the guys from Uni weren't accepting my work contract.
So I went there at nine to settle all problems, already having a very bad feeling about this. I was told that I had filled out the wrong (meaning outdated) form for my contract to continue. But the thing is, when I filled it out it was still the right one, they just changed the form about a month ago. Now I already new about the new form that was supposed to come out but it wasn't available yet. I already knew that the only difference between the two form was that they wanted to have my eMail address instead of my phone number. Therefore, I anticipated trouble and crossed out phone number, instead writing "eMail", then filled my eMail address in the space for phone number. The lady in administration still told me that the things I put down were all right but it still wasn't the right form, so they wouldn't accept it no matter what. She handed me the new form and told me to fill it out immediately, fourfold! I did so and handed it back in. Once I was back at my office and thought everything was now settled, the lady called me on the phone and told me that the new contract had been supposed to begin with the new year but now it was less than two weeks before the contract started therefore the new contract wouldn't begin on Jan. 1st but on Jan. 15th (so I essentially lost my job for two weeks).
BUT since there was now an intermission of two weeks before the new contract started, I had to come to her office again and get another set of forms regarding my health insurance and taxes for my wages I was to fill out, again each fourfold! I went to fetch the forms and told her in the face that she obviously thought I had nothing else to do than be an errand runner for her red tape episodes. She coolly smiled at me and said, she had every right to treat me like that if I filled out wrong forms or handed them in late. Then she called after me that, if I didn't hand in the new forms by 1 PM they wouldn't accept the contract before Feb. 1st because they close the University over the Christmas holidays and won't open administrations before Jan. 8th, which would be too late for forms due for Jan. 15th.
Once I was in my office again, she called my boss once more telling him that this intermission also applied for the contract of one of my colleagues. And because said colleague already has a law school degree, she had to apply for her degree to be accepted at our University again, after all the law school could take away her degree during these two weeks of unemployment... When my boss hung up, he used some very graphic expletives to describe her state of mind.
After having filled out my forms AND the ones for my colleague, who was already on holidays, I finally left the office at Quarter past one, had my patience frayed and was fuming on end. But at least I get my job back at mid January, so I don't have to try and deal with the loss of a whole month's pay!
Next thing: My twin wanted to give me the Season One box of 'Supernatural' as Christmas present. She had ordered it from the US on Nov. 15th but it still hadn't arrived by Dec. 20th and we were getting very worried. On Saturday before Christmas our parents called us to tell us that the German customs had sent in a letter. Upon opening it, we had to find out that the customs had confiscated my present because the item description was not in German (it said "DVD box", which is quite frankly also the German expression). Then they told me I had to bring a German description, the order form and payment bills, plus if I didn't get the package within seven days, they would charge me delay fees. They had sent out the letter on Friday, Saturday was closed, Monday through Wednesday were closed because of Christmas, so I had to get the package at seven in the morning on Thursday being the last day for me to pick my present up before they charged fees. And I had to get the package at the customs office almost an hour's drive away from our place.
Once there, I was told to open the package because they also suspected I was trying to smuggle illegal medical supplies into the country. (What a joke! I really thought they were kidding me!) I gave them every document they had requested, even brought along a newspaper article which stated that the show was also called 'Supernatural' in Germany, opened the package and showed them the DVDs. Now they finally let me take my Christmas present home but I still had to realize that one of the DVDs in the box was damaged with nasty scratches because the DVD box had suffered from the shipping ordeal.
Honestly, can you understand why I was a tiny bit edgy and short tempered around the holidays?
Now don't worry, I'm again on the top of the world because I got to spend very happy holidays with my family and close friends. And since you've suffered through my whining, you'll get one heck of a pic spam!

P.S.: I loved your smiles, cshawzye! I laughed so hard at the YMCA one.
