given all i wrote for the previous thread was this:

"we all live in dank pits, and only emerge once every three years or so whereapon meeting a member of the opposite sex, the male puffs out his neck frills, pulls himself onto his back legs and jigs to an fro in an attempt to woo his mate.

If he is successful the female will spawn many jelly like eggs for the male to fertilise, if unsuccessful, the inadequate dancer will be eaten and digested."

I'm rather happy it didnt come to pass

I don't think I did this last year, so oh well.

--Get my scholarship back.

--Update my comic regularly.
--Improve my art skills more.
--Gain a tougher skin.
--Get over my cyber addiction.
--Keep a job for more than 3 months.
--Save up at least $500 for the cookout
--GO to the cookout.
--Improve my wardrobe.
--Go out more.
--Learn to cook.
--Exercise 3 times a week.

Hmm. I think that's it for now.
Those in bold are things I didn't succeed in doing.

I feel really crappy about it too, sort of, because most of those things are pretty important.

If I want to work out (properly) three times a week, I pretty much have to come in to the campus gym on my one day off, and that involves 2 hours of busing that I can't afford during paper season. I usually just end up walking everywhere and then switching to cycling in the warmer months.
well cardios aren't bad. it'd do the best for your body type actually, I know. as were fellow walking trees!

Seriously didn't get any done from last year. So, this year, I'm only making one:

In 2008, I resolve to write a novel.
This is going in my notebook titled "Things I Didn't Know about Surface Dwellers."

I'll continue my yearly tradition of failing to make any New Years resolutions. Overall it's for the best. :)

I've decided to try and update my comic at least once a week, and if I fail to do that, the penalty will be that I'll have to do something really good to put on my deviantart.

I think the silliest resolution I ever made was in probably late elementary school...I resolved to have pizza for dinner once a week. The funny thing is, my parents actually went along with that, and we ended up going out for pizza every week! XD

This decade I've noticed even-numbered years tend to be better than odd-numbered years - much like Star Trek movies, which means 2007 was Generations and 2008 will be First Contact. Yay!

-Find out what is slowly turning me into a jaded, cynical, misanthropic prick.

-Do absolutely nothing for the above.

-Realize I liked myself better the old way.

-Go insane with realization the last 8 years of my life have can be charitably described as "pointless".

-Return to normal self with that pesky sanity out of the way.

-Start drawing again with the loads of free time I'll have at that point. (Who needs a job when you have a talking bobble head of Bob Barker that tells you to do stuff?)

That is completely true! And since 2007 was the worst year I've ever had, 2008 had better damn well be the best!

For Two Thousand Eight,
I Resolve Nothing, But
To Enjoy Life.

For Zero Seven,
Did Some Mistakes, But
I Regret Nothing.

A Happy New Year!
And To All A Good Night! Now
To Go Watch Fireworks.
Så länge skutan kan gå, så länge hjärtat kan slå, så länge solen den glittrar på böljorna blå...
