Almost there. Give the planet some time to turn, she's just an old lady :(


Resolutions:
Read more, finish all the plays of Henrik Ibsen's Pre-Realist Cycle before the end of 2015.
Exercise more, at least once everyday and twice a day if there's time.
Beat all of my Sonic games, especially Secret Rings and Sonic CD.
Overthrow the world's governments, seize power in the ensuing chaos.
Eat healthier, less meat and less sweets.
Clean house more often. Need to dust more.
Finish both of my multichapter fanfics before the end of the year (the hardest resolution of all).

I slept through Midnight Local time.

Also, It's hardly the US's fault that whoever standardized time on a global scale decided to drop the International Date Line in the middle of the pacific ocean with the result that the Americas get most of the negative time zones.

Also, I have no formal resolutions.

Happy new year! I don't even remember if I had resolutions for last year, but I thiiink it was probably to start regularly updating my dream journal, which I say would make a very nice one for this year. Let's hope I can keep that. I have some other goals for this year which are graduating high school (I'm way behind on credits and a senior, so it's gonna be hard), learning how to sew, and 100%-ing Fire Emblem Awakening.

I've been taking New Years' resolutions somewhat seriously since 2013, and I plan on taking them more and more seriously as time goes on.

For this year, my resolutions are:

Spoiler:
01. Continue turning myself into a better person compared to previous incarnations of myself. (This has been my resolution since 2013, and I do believe that I have been growing as an individual since then.)

02. Continue educating my peers at college about LGBT+. (This is something that I've started to do and I plan on reaching out to more people.)

03. Actually give a good, honest attempt at making myself healthier in mind, body, and spirit. (I've been slowly making this happen since 2013 but I really need to get my ass in gear. At least mentally I've been so much healthier as of late and that's made me healthier in general but so much more work needs to be done for my overall well-being.)

04. Reconnect with an old friend of mine. (She hasn't answered my email yet, and I'm very worried that she'll never see it. I don't know how else to contact her without calling her house phone and quite possibly piss her family off.)

05. Do better in college, nothing less than a 'B'. (I got a C+ in my one class and I got upset since that's the class I worked the hardest in. I need to give it 110% for next semester rather than 100%.)

06. Develop musical experience, by the end of 2015, it is my goal to have a 10-track (at minimum) vaporwave album out. (I'm already trying to complete one song. Here's an awfully rough WIP of it.)

07. Continue developing my skills in visual art. (My weakest skill is drawing.)

08. Get back into writing. (I don't have a clue about what I should write, but something is bound to come to me.)

09. Make an RPG Maker game. (Nothing ambitious, just something for me and my closer friends to enjoy.)

10. Come out to my family about my sexuality/romanticism and my gender. (So much of my schoolwork is involved with LGBT+ and I wish I can share my essays and such with them, and for them to understand why LGBT+ as a whole is important to me.)

11. Continue re-developing my relationship with my other half in spirit.

12. Learn how to drive and get my car on the road. (I'm happy that I at least have a car, which previously belonged to my grandmother.)

13. If Resolution 12 comes true, then I can get a job. (I want money really bad.)

14. Redecorate my room into a little sanctuary for myself and for when CC comes over to my place next winter. (I'm so excited asdjf;askjfas;j.)

15. Improve my wardrobe and my fashion in general. (I want to start enjoying how I look for my own sense of self-esteem. Slowly I have been working on this, but much more work needs to be done till I'm satisfied.)

16. Unlike last year, actually follow the calender to perform rituals. (I need to develop my spiritual abilities and I would like to get in touch with a deity.)

My resolution this year is to teach people how to question others and not believe everything people try to tell them.

Be they snake oil salesman or otherwise, it's good for people to learn to question.

My resolution this year is to save more money. A simple resolution, but the end goal is to go meet some of my online friends.

I've decided to lessen my time online during the day (which would lessen time online total), try to set up dA where I can sell prints and commissions, and maybe finally beat ORAS/Sonic 1? I also need to pick up Tomodachi again..That's going to hurt a lot, though...as I have a mii of my mom on there....
Go out more, walk...get over my chocolate addiction.....try to get my driver's permit (I'm already getting my non-drivers license, though)

As beneficial as it would be to make a resolution, I never do because I know that I'll never follow through and stick to my own word. I've been working on my personality/social etiquette in the form of trying really hard to make some more friends, though, but that's what I've spent the entirety of last year doing even without making it into a resolution.

I forgot one:
Draw more often, and practice drawing without a referrence. I almost never draw anything these days, and what little art I do make is pretty uninspired, so I'm going to try harder from now on to make my output respectable. I also what to try my hand at calligraphy for a change.
