2015 Goals and Resolutions

[Freya]

I have a new one thanks to Jinx:

• Watch every star trek episode ever

Other 2015 goals:

-Attend a Distant Worlds Concert. I got my ticket for January. Nobou Uematsu coming out will probably make me tear along with the music. Hearing it live is probably an amazing experience.
-Go to California. Also happening in January.
-Visit the Museum of Natural History -- I always wanted to go and there is really no reason I shouldn't have been. Washington D.C. is so cheap and easy to travel to. I've always wanted to do touristy stuff in D.C. anyway.
-Find a new job. My project at NBC is ending next month. I'm trying to coordinate with their HR department about any other possible jobs within their many syndicated networks, so we'll see.
-Attend and be in a different film festival. Last year was Cannes. This year I'm thinking Los Angeles, Tribeca and/or Sundance.

I thought I'd answered this already.

Huh.

Any who

- Lose weight. Should be easier since Jay has to go on a diet now to get his cholesterol under control. He's fine weight wise.

- Pay closer attention to our finances & start putting money in savings.

- Be less bitchy.

- Continue to work on improving my relationship with my sister. We've been doing much better over the last year. Just sucks that it took my mom passing away for that to happen.

• Hike part of the Appallachian Trail. At least 30 miles of it. Preferably more. Maybe take a week.

Where do you live?

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

I am currently making my home in North Carolina. I haven't decided where on the trail I want to hike it though. I also haven't been backpacking in a while, so I'm gonna have to work up to it. Shouldn't be terribly hard though. The Appalachian's aren't as high and steep as the Cascade's from what I understand.

[Masamunemaster]

Your not to far from me then, east Tennessee here.

Bump!

This is different to Pike's newly created thread about resolutions. It just got me thinking about what I said at the end of 2014.

I'm not gonna make any New Years resolutions. I'm just gonna use 2015 to GET STUFF DONE.

Considering it's been probably the toughest twelve months of mine and MissH's life, I'm loving the situation we find ourselves in.

- Bought our first house back in March
- My son was born who is just incredible
- Driving and insured on a car
- Planning was delayed but realised I'll soon be marrying the best girl in the world

The only thing that didn't fall into place was the promotion I went for in November. Got down to the final two (out of 14) but missed out. Just need to stay positive that work stuff happens for me in 2016.

Other than that though I'm happy that I managed to GET STUFF DONE

[Freya]

• Go on more travelling adventures; so hiking, camping and the like.
• Be able to squat my body weight. So far my progress is good so I should be able to do this by the end of this year for sure.
• Read a book a month.
• Art once a month.
• Bake a different type of bread every month.

I have a new one thanks to Jinx:

• Watch every star trek episode ever

• I did go on a hiking adventure/adventure!
• Can't squat my body weight
• Did not read a book a month.
• I didn't art once a month.
• I'm not eating bread now so no bread a month.

• I also got through TOS and partly into TNG. That's a lot of Star Trek. Still working on that one. Couldn't get it done in a year but I'm still trying to watch them!

So I did... okay. So it didn't go as planned but I did some of it! That's good right ?

Not sure about IRL resolutions. Probably more vague sounding things about being a healthier individual just like last year (which I feel like we are making (small) strides in doing). Just need to get Matt to start buying fruit for snacks at work and we will be golden. Also something about working hard.

Hahahaha, maybe next year.

- Be the best Staffer EVER (totes gon' happen)

Uh technically maybe because I got a fake internet award?

- Get that frickin' podcast started again

Uh technically maybe because we did start it again although it died again

- See what can be done with the Events Committee

Uh technically I didn't even try

- Post a few times and engage with the community (this one can come or go, really )

Uh technically this is too vague for me to know

- Finish Harry Potter 2. IT WILL BE DONE

Yep, I did this one.

[Pumpkin]

-Lose weight. Cheesy resolution ever, I know, but I really need to commit. I'm already doing some daily jogging (that makes me feel like I'm dying), and I need to clean up my diet

Yep. Not as much as I would have liked but I did lose weight

-Continue writing my book. Aim to write 3x/week

No

-See a specialist about my work related anxiety, and see what budget medication is available to me

Partially

-If that one works out, get a job and keep it without wanting to die

No

-Convince my mom to have Michael visit so we can work towards moving him down slowly

Kind of getting there

-Figure out a plan for my life

Yes, actually!

[Aulayna]

Carry on what I'm doing.

I actually failed at this haha.

This was mostly in regards to being healthy, which was going swimmingly until I got stress fractures in my feet and moved to another country, then the weight piled back on. Whoops!
