New Year, New Resolutions
Happity New Year!

Here are my resolutions:

1) Drop a pant size. So cliched, but so necessary.
2) No more meaningless hookups. Not really a problem this past year (or two), but see below.
3) Stay in better touch with friends -- I do NOT use nearly enough of my monthly minutes.
4) More studying. Or better studying.
5) No mixing drinks. If I start with beer, stick to beer.

Recent events have made me realize that I've, erm, matured. (So much better sounding than "aged".) Just a few drinks and I'm drunk and hungover (and quite stupid) for a whole day. And I want more than anything to settle down. And last night I declared that I WANT BABIES. This is a big deal for me. Unabashedly, without exception, I want to get married and settle down. Transient fleeting "relationships" are unsatisfying to the extreme. I inappropriately think about imitating couples, injecting emotion and sincerity where they are not welcome, or just not expected. This was needed. This was overdue.

And here we go into 2006...
