I don’t normally do resolutions. I mean, let’s face it; most people give up on those resolutions before the end of January. Only a small group of people actually accomplish what they resolve to do.
And trust me, I am not part of that small group of people. (I’m more likely to be in the small group of people who abandon their resolutions on January 2.) But every now and again I resolve to try to be more like normal people, and so I make resolutions and attempt to follow them.
Apparently, 2013 is one of those years. (Don’t worry, I’m sure this attempt at normal will only last until the end of January. Until then, bear with me.)
So what are my resolutions?
They’re not particularly inspired, but here they are:
- continue to be geeky
- try to be slightly less dorkily antisocial
- teach my kids about Star Trek (especially my favorite series, DS9)
- be more organized (because wow, I have no idea where the hell that skill went)
- find geeky things/news and share them with you on the blog
That’s it for now. Notice “go to the gym” isn’t on there. Because yeah, that resolution would’ve been broken on January 2nd.
Did you make resolutions this year? What are they?
I didn’t do resolutions this year, but I do have some bookish stuff I want to complete. But I don’t call them “resolutions” because I don’t have a particular end date in mind. I’m always trying to learn more, read more, and be a better version of myself, so it’s seems useless to “resolve” to do it. And I’ve given way too much money to gyms I didn’t visit….
Haha, yeah, my resolutions are really better labelled as “things I really want to do.” They’re not really resolutions per se. I mean, at the end of the year, I’m not going to stop reading sci fi or anything, you know?
