Because I had to write SOMETHING

I actually made out a list of 'resolutions' today, more so because they were things that should be put into writing rather than an actual need for making resolutions this year when I was already more than a month late for the traditional resolution-making/stating process.
Anyhow.

One resolution I will absolutely not make is to write on this blogsy thingsy more. Feeling pressured to write about things when I have nothing of substance to write about and then either putting up something insubstantial or not getting something up within some allocated time gives this realllyyy awful guilty feeling and an unnecessary additional tension point (as if we don't have enough those already).

An important lesson I learned yesterday, or it could be the day before, was to really get up and stick to doing something right when you decide that this is something that you need to do. Now, failing to do this isn't exactly the same thing as procrastination, but it's close. Because some things can be pushed aside a bit, some things will keep on staring at us in the face for days if we keep on ignoring them, but some things will be out of our grasp before we have even attempted to close our fingers around them and then, they'll just be gone forever. And you know, opportunities knocking on your door and all that blah. Carpe diem. Whatever you'd like to call it. Just keep your eyes peeled and wiiiide open for that chance now and then, because losing it will make you feel terrible.

Too many sadddddd talks lately. I don't quite know how to come up with something more cheery, even though I have been positively bubbling with obscene cheeriness and enthusiasm and excitement for the past two days. I haven't even added anticipation for the coming few weeks to that yet.
But what I can say is, the day I start baking cookies will be the day. THE day.

No interesting food pictures or cute feline pictures to insert here. Kindly use your imagination once in a while.

I resolve to...

I feel like The Crutchy Life was one of my best posts. Being bedridden might have contributed a lot to that. Needless to say, I might be able to produce another such masterpiece. Only because my laziness = being bedridden.
I've got a lot to brag about.

Yes. Resolutions. Let's make this serious shall we?

1. I shall not procrastinate...quite so much (jeez, the loophole makes it more realistic, so enough with the pointed looks!)

2. I shall not lie.

3. I shall remember Allah and my purpose in life as much as I can.

4. I shall be grateful and look at those beneath me when in need of such thoughts.

5. I shall be honest with my work. And continue to help those in need.

6. I shall not raise my voice when in civilized company (no 'grumbling' loophole for you, brat!)

7. I shall take better care of myself, health 'n' all.

8. I shall write more, for preservation of my sanity, and everyone else's around me [plus, to help prevent numero 6 from backfiring].

9. I shall continue my quest to search for a way to read ebooks on-the-go (good luck with that, sneered the mean voice in her head).

10. I shall sulk less, daydream less, be less indecent in my thoughts, and spread general goodwill among the public (yeah ok, the last one was just a dud to complete the sentence)

11. I shall not be too friendly to people so I don't have to make new friends and stop creating/sharing the huge emotional vortex/whirlpool.

12. I shall try to consume large amounts of candy.

13. I shall thrive less on the funny feeling. Humor is best left to elbows.

14. I shall help more at home.

15. I shall keep my sense of humor upright (yeah, the funny feeling has nothing to do with being funny, figured that out now, didn't you?)

16. I shall not look at cute guys. I shall not think about cute guys.

17. I shall finish this list, eventually.

Twenty one one!

I just realized, my last post was my first of the new year! Needless to say, my top of the list resolution, THAT IS, procrastination, is one never to be fulfilled, so I refuse to write down any other resolutions until I can cross it off the list. The odds that it will happen? Not good. The fact that I can't resolve to do anything else until I learn not to procrastinate is kind of ok because I wouldn't even get to anything else on the list until I can get rid of numero uno, and then, somewhere inside I know one tiny reason that list isn't coming out is because I'm procrastinating and not writing it. The writing part is easy. It's the thinking I'm trying to save my brain from.
Conservation of what, may I ask?

All I want is an extra cheesy pizza, total fatness, movie on a comfortable couch, and yeah. That. Too much to ask for? You'd think I'd have been asking for something like...yeah. But really, seriously, all I want is....

=)

Sufficiently annoying I would say. You know what, I think I'm going to make out that list after all. February 6th resolutions, here I come!
