What Do You Want For Christmas

[jamesq]

Not this Christmas - next Christmas. And not what do you want in a materialistic way either.

What I mean is, in a year from now what do you want out of your life? What are you prepared to do to get it?

For myself, I want more. I lost over 50 pounds of ugly fat, but I want to lose some more. I went out on a few actual dates this year. I want to do that some more. I travelled some, I'd like to travel some more, and to different places (Vancouver is nice, but it's a big damn world out there)

I got a wee bit saner (in a good way, not a boring way). I'd like a wee bit more.

I'll accomplish this by a) Continuing with Weight Watchers, journalling and exercising. b) Asking more women out. c) I have a car now (and possibly traveling companions) so I just have to make the plans and follow through on them. d) Continuing to apply what I learned in therapy. It all seems to be working, so we'll stick to it.

For my Christmas this year, I'd like to hear what your hopes, dreams and plans are. You can comment here, post in your own blog, or just tell me in person.

Short term plans? It's a beautiful morning so I think I'll go for a run. Later, I'll visit with my siblings, whom I haven't seen in a year.

I want to go to the doctor to find out whether I'm just lazy or have hypothyroidism. I'd like to go to the dentist and get my cavities taken care of. I want to stop drinking pop for good. I want to eat healthier. I want to finally get back to the gym. I want to lose weight and I want to get my credit card paid off.

I'd like... to be a MIME!

Those are some good goals. Which are you going to do first?

Re: what i'd like to do

I noticed that you'd friended me. But who are you? Have we met? I notice that you list SCA as an interest? Been to any Montengarde events/taverns/practices recently?

I'm James BTW. Pleased to meet you.

You ungrateful little bitch!

Well Mark and I need to go to the gym. We have a membership, but we need to go sign up first. I'm also working on the pop thing. My friend caroline said to switch to caffeine free first. I'm also working on the eating healthier thing. So you can say that I'm working on most of them immediately.

I want my four front teeth

I want to finish getting my teeth done, and complete the web site I have been writing, with products for sale. I would also like to pay off/down my one or two big bills, and finally get the apartment straightened away so the studio room I have is used for studio stuff instead of just storing crap, although it is very nice crap, if I do say so myself. (especially the suitcases)

I would also like a new digital camera, and a truly manual older film camera so I can use all the darkroom stuff I have now. And finally get some people who will sit for portraiture photography.

Can I fit world peace in there and goodwill to all? Or is that just plain corny?
