What Me Resolve?

the thing with resolutions... i lose the piece of paper i wrote them on
i only ever find it years later. always good for a laugh then. i am always surprised by the person i was back then. did i really really resolve to wake up earlier? why on earth would anyone want to do that?

but you know what i can try to do - remember all the things i did do in 2006

i did not fight with my sister. not once.
i ran a 10K - my first - in under an hour.
i started a blog. two actually. and still have them.
i 'met' some fantastic folk via aforementioned blog.
i fell behind on life. i am still at least 5 days behind right now.
i offered taye diggs pretzels at the theatre (only cos his friend asked and it seemed rude not to include him too)
i stepped in to stop a girlfight. granted that was technically in 2007 but i had not yet gone to bed.
i got a new computer and a scanner i have never used. i am not even sure i know how to use it.
i still dream of owning a mac.
i saw my brother twice (i had not seen him since 2003, so that's something)
i learnt many terribly tedious things about the world of accounting
i accumulated many useless facts that i will be able to use if i ever have tea with the queen (england, the club, i'm not picky).
i became a rabid football fan for all of about two months. my favourite team changed by the game (why do my guys always have to lose?)

and so i wonder why i resolved to have great nails when it is so much easier paint them as brightly and gaily as possible? it turns out people are too mesmerised by the hues to notice the state of the nails beneath.

another thing i learnt in 2006...
