-I will try and get back into things that I used to enjoy.
-I will try and be generally happier and less bitter. Honestly, it's not such a terrible thing.
-I will try and get more in shape. Mostly in terms of reducing stress and all.
-I will try and get more into things that make me happy as well. Seriously, I don't think it would do to surround myself with depression.
-I will try and not load so many challenges onto myself. Seriously, self, what are you trying to do, overtax yourself?
-I will try and get more sleep, and do something to avoid any of the nightmares that I had this year. Work on my relaxation exercises, for one thing.
-I will try and take more care of myself. Seriously, self, you need it.
-I will try and spend more time with my friends and family. Seriously, I need them.
-I will try and write more original fiction.
-I will try and stop feeling so insecure about myself not accomplishing anything. Seriously, self? You're pretty good. You're just going to get better.
-I will try and not take criticism so personally.
-I will try and get out more.
-I will get back into the KOTOR games. Seriously, I am not going to let what happened in regards to the MMO dampen my enjoyment for these games.
-I will get back to my screenplays and whatnot.
-I will get around to actually *finishing* the RR-verse and whatnot. Because yeah, it's pretty big, but...come on, self, you can do it.
-I will see more movies in theaters. Because honestly? I'll admit a part of me is kind of sick of that feeling like I missed the adventure or something.
-I will see more of FARSCAPE, as it sounds awesome.
-I will catch up on DOCTOR WHO some more. E.g. seeing that Christmas special.
-I will try and be more involved in the world at large instead of living in my own little fantasy world.
-I will try and pay more attention in college classes.
-I will try not to be so awful to people who love me and care for me.
-I will get more involved in things such as feminism and whatnot. Seriously -- I think I honestly need to.
-I will be more willing to speak my mind, as I've been a bit of a coward in the past.
-I will try and be less jerk-ish to people.
-I'm going to try and keep my cool.
-I will try to be kinder in terms of expressing my opinions.
-I will try to control my temper more.
-I will try and be less goddamn scared of alienating people. Because honestly, self? You're not.
-I will try and have a stronger sense of myself.
-I will learn more about things such as writing strong female characters, a good plot, etc. Basically, I just want to write female characters that are memorable, really, and I want to have my story...not accused of not having a plot, at least. I want to at least keep the readers/viewers/etc. riveted.
-I will try and avoid the dreaded manpain. Granted, most have said I'm pretty good at avoiding it, but I tend to err too much on the side of "can't be too careful". Honestly, I don't think it's the matter of the male character being in agony that's really the problem. Hell, even if they're mourning for someone else -- that's okay, really. I guess the problem is when they go all "You can't know what I'm going through", but I think that can be remedied by someone telling them in story to cut it out (I say that if you have someone call another person out in-story for awful behavior, I think you're pretty much good). I guess what I really want to avoid is the fridging of certain characters, especially women. Now, I'm all for tropes like the Crusading Widower and such, but still...might do good if only to avoid something like that a bit more. Just to be on the safe side. I am still learning, after all.
-I will try and not worry so much about what other people think, (Easier said than done, self. :P)
-I will try to not care so much if I am condemned for things I like. Honestly, so what?
-I will try to not make such a big deal over other people's opinions, no matter how "illogical" (to quote a certain Mr. Spock) they seem.
-I will try and get in less arguments. (Good luck, self. :P)
-I will try and keep more of an optimistic attitude. Seriously, it's going to do you wonders, self. Really.
-I will get involved in more causes and such.
-I will survive school.
