Resolutions and Reminiscing

I have given in to peer pressure and am writing a blog post. My first in 3 months (and a day) as someone delighted in telling me today.
So hello!
It's very nice to see you and I hope you be having a wonderful New Year.

This is normally the time of year when people look back on the the year before, reminiscing and such, and then make resolutions for the coming year, usually to do with weight and personal improvement.

I do not do either of these things.

I do not reminisce. Its not a principled thing, I just do really ever do it. I've moved around a lot in my life, and it always tends to have been around about the summer, so the new year has never really had much significance for me. My birthday is also in the summer. And school starts and finishes in the summer. New starts happen in the summer. End of.
But this year I thought I might try it. I thought 'hmm 2010 has been a very good year. I should look back on it with joy and wonder and appreciate all the good things i have been blessed with *happy face*'

yeahh...

then i heard myself.

what absolute cheesey shit.

And then of course everyone else started doing it. Facebook was full of it, Twitter was full of it, everyone i saw was like 'Happy New Year *overly cheery face*.

I felt like smashing something.

*is grumpy*

So that decided me, once and for all, that reminiscing is not for me.

So then I started looking forward, and thinking about news years resolutions. Resolutions are interesting things. You can tell a lot about someone by them. Because the best way to find out about someone, is to find out who they are striving to be. (I sound cheesey :/ I'll stop)

Anyway. I'm terrible at resolutions because i have no will power.
Whatsoever.
None.
So instead, I have decided to 1) try to have more willpower and stick at stuff and 2) to start doing things that i've always wanted to do (e.g. martial arts).

But we both know that neither of those will happen.
*negative vibes*

I will leave you with this out-of-date christmas video. it's cute. Watch it.
