New Year's Resolutions!

[(Anonymous)]

Or goals! Or wishes! Or hopes!

What are yours?

Re: New Year's Resolutions!

[kaijinscendre]

Read 15 books, bake 12 new things, and lose 20 pounds.

Re: New Year's Resolutions!

[(Anonymous)]

Lose 20 pounds
Deep clean my house
Get rid of ALL the junk I don't use anymore
Cook more frequently and make healthier meals
Read more books

Re: New Year's Resolutions!

[philstar22]

Get a job. a full time job with benefits. Get my own place. Those are my two main goals this year.

Re: New Year's Resolutions!

[(Anonymous)]

Keep up last year’s (the first resolution I ever managed to do!) “walk at least 5 miles a day” thing. Fix up my house so I can rent it out, and then rent it for at least close to market rate. Apply for grad school. Avoid sweets/added sugar for a month—doubt I could do a year, but I should be able to last a month. Make at least one non-work friend.

Re: New Year's Resolutions!

[(Anonymous)]

I'm gonna lose some weight.

I'm gonna finally finish writing something I started almost two years ago.

I'm gonna drink less.

I'm gonna see my loved ones more, and have more experiences.

I'm gonna spend less time tethered to my smart phone.

Re: New Year's Resolutions!

Be more zen in the face of unusually horrible customers

Re: New Year's Resolutions!

[bur]

Read 2 books a month, finally finish a working draft of TPatP now that I’ve got one of the more... problematic issues ironed out.

Re: New Year's Resolutions!

[rosehiptea]

Continue to pay off my debt while not creating new debt. The way I have things set up it should work out.

I should have resolutions to do lots of other stuff like eat better and lose weight but I don't think it would really work. I mean I am going to try to eat better but I'm not going to make a thing about it.

Re: New Year's Resolutions!

- Finally get the house organized and set up the way I want it and get rid of a ton of crap I don't need/use.

- Do the same thing for my computer (and, to a lesser extent, my phone and tablet). My most frequently used files/documents are kind of scattered all around in different folders and stuff, so I need to go through and organize them all and delete the stuff I don't need that's taking up hard drive space.

- Lose some weight. I don't have a specific goal, and I don't want to get obsessive about it like I have been in the past, just make better food decisions in general and try to get more exercise.

- And this probably sounds weird to a lot of people, but watch more TV. I do a good amount of reading (read 52 books in 2018) but don't watch much TV and there are so many shows that I've heard great things about and want to watch.

Re: New Year's Resolutions!

[(Anonymous)]

Now that I've finally pretty much conquered the 'meal prep for work lunches', I would like to stop eating out so much for dinner. It's preventing any weight loss (I'd just like to lose maybe 10-15lbs) and it's costing me money that I'd like to put towards my debt.

I'm just so exhausted by the time I get home from work though, ugh.

Re: New Year's Resolutions!

[(Anonymous)]

Every day, I want to:
- Leave the house
- Do some exercise
- Take my meds
- Do some study
- Do something creative

I'd really like to lose some weight, but I'm increasingly devoid of hope on that front :/

Re: New Year's Resolutions!

[(Anonymous)]

Set my reading challenge up to 40 this year

go outside more (playing pokemon go with a group helps)

work less (insist on my off-times / less weekend shifts)

get my desk space / book shelves organised
(maybe rearrange dining and living room)

Write actual letters more

Re: New Year's Resolutions!

[(Anonymous)]

Eat more protein, so that all my time at the gym actually makes me stronger. I got stronger for the first six months of working out, and then I plateaued, which has been kind of a bummer.

Buy a couch. I really want a leather one, but idk if I'm up for spending that much.

Re: New Year's Resolutions!

[chamonix]

My New Year's resolution is to ask for people to do more things for me - small things like can you get me something from the kitchen, or can you pick up so and so on your way home - but also to do what similar things asked of me with willingness and enthusiasm.

I just realised I was expending all my energy taking on 90% of home tasks myself, and then getting resentful and snippy when asked to do other small things on top of that. Neither of those things are good and healthy, but they are within my power to change.

Based on yesterday's secret

[(Anonymous)]

What are your least favorite instances of fanon? Nicknames, habits, whatever those things are that have somehow become common in your fandom with no canon basis?

Re: Based on yesterday's secret

[kaijinscendre]

One nickname that makes me go blech is, "Der" for Derek.

Do things that happen once in canon that then happen ALL the time in fanon count?

If so, Thor's love of poptarts and Stiles calling Derek Sourwolf.

Re: Based on yesterday's secret

[philstar22]

Nicknames where they feel OOC. Tolkien fandom, I'm looking at you. I see non-canon nicknames, at least in that fandom, I'm out. Characters do often already have multiple names and they really don't do nicknames. It just doesn't feel appropriate, and inevitably the fics will be out of character.

Re: Based on yesterday's secret

[rosehiptea]

Vash the Stampede eats donuts twice in the series. It's fair to say he loves donuts. They aren't all he ever eats. He's not the Cookie Monster. He's just a person who likes donuts. I'm not saying people should never mention it but it's overdone.

Doctor WHo

[philstar22]

No spoilers, but just watched the special, and that was amazing. Just, everything was perfect. Still say Demons of Punjab was the best episode of the season, but I'd say this one is now second.

Re: Doctor WHo

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed that Demons of the Punjab was the best one, but I really enjoyed the special too.

I just wanted to vent online somewhere and I don't really know where else to do this

[(Anonymous)]

I hate this. I hate my whole existence. I feel like my brain is irreparably broken, that I'm just a useless flesh lump. It was a struggle today just to get out of my bed, take a shower and clean my apartment, and I still didn't get everything done today that I should have. I don't think I want to die, I just think I don't want to exist for a while. It doesn't help that one of my meds has run out and I haven't scheduled an appointment with my psychiatrist yet so I don't know how long it will be before I can get a prescription refill. And I may be needing to change my meds anyway because I don't think they're working anymore, except I can't tell how much of me is messed up because I'm just not on the right medications and how much of me is messed up because I'm just a lazy fuck. I know I ought to get out more but I don't think I'm fit to be around people right now because I think I'd just go to pieces and start crying and screaming. But I hate feeling trapped in my head with no one to talk to. At least I have my therapist on Saturday.

Re: I just wanted to vent online somewhere and I don't really know where else to do this

[cakemage]

I'm sorry you're going through all of this, Anon. For what it's worth, I think the fact that you're still making the effort to get up, shower and clean is a big accomplishment in and of itself when you're dealing with a major depressive episode like this, even if you don't manage to accomplish everything you wanted to. Sometimes you've just gotta take the small victories where you can, you know? Hang in there and make the appointment with your psychiatrist as soon as you can. If you need someone to talk to in the meantime while you're waiting for your appointment with your therapist, you're welcome to PM me. I don't know how much help I'll be, but I'm willing to listen if you need to vent some more.

Re: I just wanted to vent online somewhere and I don't really know where else to do this

[(Anonymous)]

Hey, I’m impressed you managed to clean your apartment; I’m terrible at cleaning even when my brain isn’t screaming at me. I’m sorry you’re feeling down. There’s nothing wrong with venting here; I know I have. I hope it helps. Just hold out until Saturday. Maybe your therapist can get in touch with your/a psychiatrist about re-upping/adjusting your meds? Good luck and also (hugs).
