2009: Resolutions & Plans

[G.W.K]

With this year coming to a close, and 2009 here in a few days: has anyone considered any "New Year's Resolutions"? Is there anything you plan to do, or change about yourself or something else?

I can't think of any yet...but I'm working on it. If I do think of a resolution, I need to also "resolute" to be able to keep my resolution going for as long as possible...as I usually give up, or break it within a few weeks!

So, tell us your plans/resolutions (within reason).

[pianowolfi]

There is nothing more ephemeral than new year's resolutions. So I don't have any anymore.

[pianoperformer]

To practice more, preferrably around 5 hours.

[pianochick93]

To get my bronze level qualification in dancing, and to start working towards my silver. Also to get assignments done before the night before they are due...like that's gonna happen though.

[db05]

To go on a downward spiral to oblivion. 

To wipe out my savings + Christmas money before summer break by photocopying/ printing all the sheets I can find and eating out as often as possible.

To not study anything unless it's an emergency.

To kiss my teacher every week.

To start impossible pieces like Rach 2.

[morningstar]

To get fit, practice more and get a job that I can hold for at least the whole year. Also to drive more carefully (might be too hard to keep )

In other words you are currently:

A fat, lazy, unemployed, raving lunatic on roads?

You should describe yourself more clearly on here, otherwise people get a different perspective about you.

Rather blunt/rude today aren't we...not being fit does not make me fat, not practicing enough is more a lack of being able to use the piano, unemployed is correct and raving lunatic and driving without regard for some minor road rules are different things.

[thalbergmad]

I am going to stop insulting jocks and tambo bangers.

Also i will try to keep within speed limits, apart from on Orkney who have not got any cameras.

Thal

[concerto_love]

To get high score in exams...  Piano, choir, games, and school...

[ronde_des_sylphes]

To continue to refuse to learn conformist mainstream repertoire.
To try to find more time to practice (and learn pieces that almost nobody has heard of)
To show the appropriate level of respect to politicians ie none.

All of these warms me heart.

Well then, for future reference call them Scots...as the term "jock" is not lightly taken by the majority of Scottish people.

Trust me. You haven't seen me when I deliberately cause havoc...and with you Shaun, I could easily do that.

gwk

Oh, you're such a Man.
No wonder all the girls are after you.

I am going to stop insulting jocks

Thal

I will also try to stop insulting the "sweaties".
It will be difficult, but I will try very hard.

[G.W.K]

LOL...this coming from the guy who get a kick from changing my username in quotes.

I will also try to stop insulting the "sweaties".

See who lasts the longest...you or thal.

G.W.K

Assuming that you know something that I don't...

[goldentone]

There are definitely things simmering I have kept "lying in wait" that I am going to change/make a part of my life, but I will proceed with them when the time is right.  What may make New Year's Resolutions "ephemeral", as Wolfi said, is that they are birthed from a shallow place.  For real change, we must come to a boil.

As in slowly grow more unhappy with something you are doing until you boil over and get fed up so you change it?

[G.W.K]

Oh no, you know everything I know. However...other people do not know it.

Yet.

I thought you were going to stop that.

[G.W.K]

I thought you were going to stop that.

Stop what?

G.W.K

[pianochick93]

*rolls eyes*

[Petter]

Frim practice routines. Learn Brahms Intermezzo 118 opus 2. Drop sleeping pills. Continue pilates. Kill my family and girlfriend and all nitpickering  anglosaxian bastards.

[imbetter]

to do my assignments BEFORE they're due; and that's really it

[G.W.K]

*rolls eyes*

You're resolution is to roll your eyes at everyone when they don't get what you mean?

Caress my family and girlfriend.

You caress your entire family? 

G.W.K

[morningstar]

Caress my family and girlfriend.

Petter I don't think that's a good choice of word...works for girlfriend but not for family lol

[G.W.K]

Petter I don't think that's a good choice of word...works for girlfriend but not for family lol

You're thinking what I'm thinking! LOL...which is why I questioned family, not girlfriend. Maybe that is acceptable in some countries, or perhaps it is just bad word choice.

G.W.K

I dunno...maybe he just doesn't know enough english to know? Caress isn't a commonly used word after all.

[kelly_kelly]

To actually work towards goals I care about. Lately, I've been ridiculously lazy, but then gotten upset when I couldn't achieve what I wanted, which made me feel useless and depressed, which then made me lazier... truly a vicious cycle. The best example of this occurred during my most recent seating auditions

[mrba1979]

To live everyday as if it is my last and charge the credit card as if it is too.

[Petter]

whatever, english speaking snobs

[shortyshort]

Caress my family and girlfriend.

Perhaps embrace or hug may be better words.
Caress seems a little intimate for your family, (unless you're Dutch).

[G.W.K]

whatever, english speaking snobs

We're telling the truth! In the UK that would probably be classed a couple of stages below incest.

The Dutch do that?

[morningstar]

We're not bein snobs just trying to make sure you don't use that word with 'my family' in the same sentence again.

[Petter]

Ok I changed it, hope your happy. 

[G.W.K]

Kill my family and girlfriend and all nitpickering  anglosaxian bastards.

Ah...the Sweedish and their charm.

G.W.K

[shortyshort]

Ok I changed it, hope your happy. 

Much better. 

[thalbergmad]

Sweedish

Swedish

[G.W.K]

Swedish

I accidently hit an extra "e". I didn't notice, otherwise I would've changed it. Thanks for pointing it out...I'll change it eventually.

[pianowolfi]

Okay now I have a resolution though: to overcome fear and anxiousness. Completely. It's just a waste of energy and time.

Well resolved, pianowolfi!  The only way to overcome fear is to face it head on.  That, as you know, is courage.  Facing fear makes it grow smaller.  Doing the fearful thing makes it dissipate.

Happy Courageous New Year, pianowolfi!

I'll just wish you all a Happy New Year now, because everyone is in different time zones, etc.
