New Year Resolutions

1. Finish my horror novel. I've restarted work on it last night.
2. Keep track of the novels & books I read this year so I can make a list of it in December 2006 like all the cool LJ kids.
3. Take a course in yoga, photography, or french. Take a course in anything!
4. Go to the local swimming pool regularly.
5. Visit Brasil.
6. Spend a weekend, at least, in the English countryside or coast (if I can make it to Wales, Scotland or Ireland, even better.)
7. a) Get my contract with my current employer renewed.
b) If I fail to retain my job, move back to Canada in late July/early August.

The Poo Story (not an urban legend)

Sometime ago, a girl went to a pub with her friends and met a boy. They immediatly hit it off, spent the night kissing, and eventually ended up back at his apartment. They had sex and spent the night together.

In the morning, he had to leave for work before her, so he told her she could take her time and that he would call her later. He told her she only needed to close the front door after her and it would lock.

She decided to take a dump. After she had done it (which happened to be a big one) she tried flushing the thing away, but it wouldn't go. She kept flushing until, in desperation, she decided to fish it out with a plastic bag from the kitchen. She tied it up and planned on throwing it away somewhere along the way to work.

She wrote him a message, telling him what a wonderful night it had been, wrote down her phone number, and left. As soon as the door closed behind her, she realized that she had left the bag of poo beside the note.

More on 2005 (but probably the Last of It)

Ops! I actually did have some New Year's resolutions for 2005 (I wrote in a recent survery that "I never have NY resolutions").

Let's see how I did:

- Not watch any movies with the following actors: Angelina Jolie, Tom Hanks, Goody Goody Junior, Tom Hanks, Nicholas Cage, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.
I failed miserably with this one: I watched one of the worst movies ever made at the end of the Summer, You've Got Mail, which had both Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in it. I know some people on my LJ who like these actors/movie, so I apologize for not being able to stomach them (yet I did watch the thing till the end... maybe I'm deceiving myself when I say I don't like them?)

- Not watch any movies where Tom Cruise plays a good guy or/and a heterosexual.
I didn't watch any of his movies, though it could be said that I failed again because I had at least two posts dedicated to him in this journal.

- Watch more obscure "foreign" movies.
Definetly failed this one. Foreign films came to me through BBC4, or DVDs borrowed/given by friends. But nothing stood out as obscure.

- Be more like Miss Jane Marple and solve tons of mysteries.
No crimes happened in my parish in 2005. I was able to dedicated myself more to the church, my knitting and indulge in harmless gossip with my neighbours.

- Swim loads.
No problems with this one.

- Eat less chips and crisps.
I cut down on my chips intake yet I was still buying crisps with my lunch everyday. Bad me.

- Get a job that makes me feel passionate, excited and/or happy.
Oh yes! Go Team Ollie!

- Cut down my Livejournal friends' list without feeling guilty and/or mean.
Like my gut, my LJ friends' list keeps expanding and there's nothing I can do about it.
