Into a Bright New Year…
I must admit that as I grow older I find myself less enamoured of the New Year’s Eve festivities. It’s like going out only more crowded, more expensive and there is an imperative placed upon you to stay up until at least 12 – something which I find myself increasingly ill-inclined to do.
I do, I must confess, need my beauty sleep. (In fact I’m obviously not getting nearly enough.)
So last night, in a slightly grumpy “oh what’s the point” frame of mind (and given the flatmate was chronically ill and would provide some company) I stayed in, with a view towards having an early night, and waking in the new year bright and refreshed and lacking in hangover.
Sadly, due to an extensive BlackAdder documentary on G.O.L.D and then the discovery of a Screenwipe special I ended up staying up until 12 anyway, but there we are.
I still went to bed, consumed a Nytol and awoke ten hours later feeling pretty damn marvellous if truth be told. So a Happy New Year to you!
Resolutions? I’m not normally prone to them, but symbolically I do appreciate the opportunity to wipe the slate clean and think what I want to achieve. So this year I would like:
- To not move house again. (If at all possible, thank you landlord and credit crunch.)
- To continue losing weight and toning up. The sadist is doing wonders so I shall keep him on as long as I can afford him.
- Drink less. It really has to stop. If nothing else I’m finding myself not wanting so much any more, which is encouraging.
- Write more. Already the cessation of quiz-related activities has left my creativity a little starved and Daniel and I have thus begun working on two new projects, as well as finalising the Vitriol script for touting around. Plus there’s the novel which really does need moving forwards. I’m feeling quite enthused by the possibilities right now.
I trust you have some aims for the new year, and I hope they will be attained in much the same way I hope mine will!
Happy 2009!
