Here are my New Year's Resoultions for 2011, you can reply with your own after you read mine:



*Get back in shape and lose 20-30 lbs. and gain muscle tone by my 10th High School reunion.



*Get a paid library position starting as a Page at my local library either in Edmonds, Lynnwood, and Mukilteo in the Sno-Isle Library branch.



*Go back to college in the spring to get credits for graduation to pursue a career at the library. In the near future, would like to be an Assistant Librarian at the Sno-Isle Library system.



*To be in a relationship with a neuro-typical (regular) female or a female similar to my needs (Aspergers/Mild Autism). Any more would be too much and any less would not be acceptable.



*Continue volunteering at the Mukilteo library to get more work experience.



*Continue working at the Lake Serene Safeway in 10th year with hard work, patience, respect for co-workers and customers with a possible promotion.



*Would like to BBQ for the family in the summer time when I’m on summer vacation.



*To advance into the competition for Evergreen Idol 2011 karaoke competition in the next round this summer. Competed twice last year, but didn’t advance past the first round.



*Would like to take one more crack at my learner’s permit. If failed, I won’t drive ever again. If succeed, then I’m going to pursue an actual driver’s license.



*If available, would like to join a bowling league either in the winter, spring, or fall of this year.

That's a lot of goals! Good for you and I hope they go well! My goals are to get my learners, a job, raise my grades and make one new friend.

My goals for 2011 are:

1. To follow the Canada Food Guide every day of the week, except for on special occasions.

2. To be doing aerobics two times a week by April and three times a week by July.

3. To take what I've learned from the passing of Pete Quaife and think to give my mum a heads up of what I'll need when Mick Avory passes away. I will also wait until he's the one to go, before I tell my mum about any Kinks dying. I want my mum to see me as a healthy person who doesn't need to be cured. I might end up being lucky. Mick might live the longest.

To begin working on my graphic novel that I've been thinking of for the past year or so. I'll be getting a new computer soon so that should help :)

I've got nothing else. If I change it will be because it happened naturally. Making goals for myself always ends in failure when there's no incentive :?

To start making decisions instead of resolutions.

I also plan not to get my hopes up too high, about anything. I've learned that high hopes make for big dissapointments in the end.

Too true. People say I'm very negative and pessimistic, but it's never good to feed on false hope. At least the worse was expected.

I don't really make New Years Resolutions. I don't see why a digit change for the year suddenly makes people want to change/improve things about themselves. Why cant those things be addressed in the middle of the year if they are causing problems then :?: It seems like a way to avoid making a change. People say they will make the change for New Years because they do not want to make the change in the middle of the year & when New Years comes; there is so much pressure to make all these changes that is not long before lots of em break those resolutions. It is good to have goals but I don't think it's good to have that time frame because of all the pressure. Maybe I'm too logical 8O

To continue to improve upon the decisions I've already made and try to stay away from making un-infomred and un-wise actions if this makes sense.I've actually made some movement towards building my first computer system...
