It's almost 2013, so does anyone have any New Years resolutions that they are determined to follow through with? I think it might be interesting to see what everyone's goals are and then at the end of the year revisit the thread and see how things played out. :3

My own resolutions are


Finish any number of my large stalled craft projects
Finish the thread I started working on in 2009
Read more (goal: at least 1 new book per month)
Have my A1C levels (blood sugar average over a period of 3 months) under 6.5
Learn to play my class in Warcraft, finally (current playstyle: lolololol i'mma paladin shiny hammer whoooooo!!! Why am I taking so much damage, maybe I shouldn't be standing in all of this dark purple shit/fire?)
Successfully eject my parasite without killing either one of us.
Keep said parasite alive outside of the womb.


The only item on my list that I'm too worried about not achieving is the cessation of my badness is WoW. I mean, I am after all a keyboard-turner. D:

I have a few to go 'round too.

My biggest one is launch my small business project from home and start selling my art on E-Bay.

Another one of mine is to finish more projects on Althanas and get back into a good swing with my art again. I been neglecting it a bit.

Other than that, I hope that 2013 will be MUCH more productive than 2012 was.

Read more, start up a podcast, eat healthier, lose some weight, get some more exercise, and break three of the aforementioned resolutions by mid-January.

I just want to graduate and continue on a career path that doesn't suck. Maybe draw extra and get more serious about art. I'm not big on resolutions, but these were things on my list anyhow, so I'll pretend that's what they are. haha

D:I went through the Lord of the Rings Online and The Old Republic as a clicker. I would usually started off using keyboard shortcuts, but then after like ten or twenty levels you wind up needing about four hands and eidetic memory to use them all. And since I have neither, I always reverted to clicking on the buttons. Wasn't even that bad. But I always wanted to learn to use keybinds. Maybe next year... Yeah, I doubt it. :P

Like several people before me, one of the resolutions is probably be to read more. Not just novels and shit, but general knowledge stuff, like history and astronomy which always interested me greatly. Also, lose some weight. It's not critical yet, but I fear these holidays won't do my gut any favors.

I'd also like to say that one resolution should be not to spend that much time in front of the computer, but I figure that one wouldn't make it past like January 2nd.

I have a Belkin Nostramo, a Razr Naga, and separate keybinding setups for each of my characters. >.< I'm a nerd like that. Just don't let the left hand know what the right hand is doing. I finally started playing WoW again - what server are you on? I'm on Sen'jin.

Resolutions?

Sure! I resolved to finally set up my home studio and net some side-work for extra cash. The studio is now set up, and I'll be sending out demos soon.

Decided to lose those last 15 baby pounds (my son is 5 ^^), so I've abandoned caffeine and carbs/sugar. Down 5 lbs so far.

Gonna dramatically increase my salary this year, or find a new job, so I'm currently awaiting corporate's offer and arming myself to negotiate it -- while checking out opportunities elsewhere.

Decided to finally write a book. I started last year, and I've got the overarching story done and maps made. I've also set natural resources and trade routes, as well as the characteristics of the various cultures, etc. My resolution is to allot three hours a week this year for development/writing purposes. Unfortunately, with all this other stuff, I have started yet. Lol. I guess I'll get to it eventually.

Because it's so much easier to use fifteen different buttons when they're three times smaller and all at the surface the size of your hand. I tried playing with friend's Naga. Every click was like a step in a minefield. But kudos to those that get a hang of it. I'm currently moving onto Guild Wars 2. Noob section, naturally, clicking away with cheapo mouse.

Fancy mice scare me! Ha ha. Zook and I play on Area 52 primarily. How is Sen'jin?
