Resolutions for 2007?

Posted by Cliff on from the have-you-thought-about-yours dept.

JoeCommodore asks: "It's that time of year where many of us review our last year and look at ourselves in the mirror, checkbook balance, and/or social schedule (EPs, stats, and skills, for those who relate to RPGs) and make resolutions to improve ourselves. One of my resolutions is to stop my increasing diversionary tactics when working on my many projects at home. You know, instead of working on some problem problem I turn to the internet (Slashdot), games, snacks, and so on. Either I need to get better at controlling my diversion habits or turn them them into something positive. So what have you thought of doing for yourself in 2007?"

    I resolved many, many years ago to stop making resolutions.

    It's the only one I've ever kept.

      New Year's resolutions are for people who want to procrastinate for a few months.

    I resolved to eat less (than an elephant) and exercise more (than a sloth).

    So far I'm succeeding.

    I didn't get any of the acronyms, and I'm perfectly happy with that. I just have one question for you: will it hurt?

    Because some people are just waaaaaaay too stuck on themselves.

    True story:

    I was at a Borders with a friend of mine, a GORGEOUS blonde from Lithuania. I wanted to pick up a copy of "Strangers in Paradise" so headed over to the comics section. My friend squeals and says "Oh! These are the comic books! I love the Archie!" A neckbeard who is perusing the manga sniffs and says "We call them 'Graphic Novels'." She just looks at him for a second, and then says "You have not had sex, is that right?"

    Bet I get -2 million :D
