Resa-whatnow?

No. I'm not going to do it and you can't make me.
No resolutions will be posted on this blog. I won't say that there is no point in resolutions because they tend to fall apart after the first month (if it even takes that long). Resolutions work for some people and not for others. And some resolutions don't work for anyone. Anything incredibly drastic or life-altering is pretty unlikely to end up fulfilled at the end of a year. Anything vague enough can be wiggled out of. And honestly, when you don't even know if you're going to wake up in the morning, it seems a bit presumptuous to go around making resolutions.

Okay. Those are my thoughts on resolutions. I realise I'm probably in the minority on all of that. But whatever.

I hereby resolve one thing though- before I go on any transatlantic jaunts, I will make damn sure my room is clean. I am coming back to a clean, orderly, well-put-together room. This will happen if it kills me getting there and sometimes it feels like it just might.

In other news, I saw Tron tonight. It wasn't spectacular. It was very flashy and I believe that was 95% of the point.... so much for the other 5%. I wish someone would pay me to write a movie script...

Happy New Year!

From the aftermath of a southern wedding!
Hello dear unlikely readers of this humble blog! I have been to a wedding today! And I have learned a great deal! I have learned the following in particular:
_ A reception doesn't have to have dancing to be a success.
_ If you don't put wedding favours at the individual plates people won't realise that they are in fact favours and will instead confuse them for inedible/non-take home decorations.
_ You never know who will share your taste in clever television.
_ A guest book is a good idea, so you can get all your guests' addresses and mail them thank you notes.
_ Be tactful at all times, you never know who's where.
_ What a person doesn't know won't hurt them.
_ If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.
_ Always pack something a little dressy (case in point, almost forgot to bring my skirt. Would have been a bad, bad mistake!)
_ If a saleswoman says you can fit a certain size just fine and you doubt it, haggle and insist on getting your way for the money you're spending on it!
_ If you are going solo, make sure you have good single friend who you can vent to and who can keep you in check when the estrogen hormones do their silly little dances.

New Years Resolutions
1. 1.5 mile in 14.00. (Let's not be too ambitious.)
2. Greater charity towards all. (A nice, vague goal.)
3. Good grades. (3.7 and better?)
4. Freedom from the past. (What does this even mean?)
5. Think happy thoughts.
6. Pray more often.
7. Something totally awesome to make up for my otherwise lame NYs Resolutions.

And all that said, I'm going to retire for the night at a mere 8 o'clock after being dress-coded. I have an early day tomorrow, and a weirdly long flight. Hope I can keep my brain in gear!
