Nearly twelve months ago, I made a bunch of resolutions for 2006. Here’s how I score on them so far:
-
Get a decent flat (and car) – Done.
- Get out of debt – Done, although it still hurts to think about.
- Not be tragically single for the entire year – Shitshitshit.
- Grow a pair – Hard to say, I haven’t really had the need.
- Not take up smoking again – I am still a non-smoker, although I have smoked once or twice for old time’s sake. Chances of me picking it up again seem to be near zero right now.
- Submerge myself in a naturally occurring body of water at least once – I did go swimming at the beach last summer.
- Not be grumpy on my birthday – Hard to say, but I’m suspecting I failed this one, since I didn’t even post that day, and in the next entry I’m buying crap to make my life feel less pointless. Still loving the electric shaver though, and still swearing at this stupid Mac keyboard.
- Learn something new (unrelated to work/programming) – Another hard one, very subjective. I guess I’d have to say yes, but I haven’t learned anything particularly earthshaking.
- Chide someone who deserves it – This falls into the same category as 4, I haven’t really had the need to (I’m quite good at avoiding evil people)
- Write a bestselling novel about a computer programmer who solves a two thousand year old mystery encoded in the pages of the New Testament – Ok, so this I’ve totally failed at, but then it’s just a typical dumb joke resolution to undermine the real ones.
