First things first. On the first.

Happy New Year, lovers.

I'm hoping you enjoyed yourselves - enough so that you'll have some real regrets and new resolutions on your agenda.  It's important to end the year in style.

I'm not much for resolutions, partly because I'm just that fucking awesome, but also because I have a tendency to fail immediately and then feel really bad for the rest of the minute that I remember I had a resolution.

A lot of people have words rather than resolutions, and I like that idea.  Having a kind of theme for your year - like peaceful or engorged.  But even that seems like a lot of work for me. 

I mean, in theory and on those days when I walk around muttering about how I hate my life I want to have a goal, but I've been skittish about goals recently.  Feeling like an abject failure isn't good for my complexion.

But I do like the idea of a fresh start, and the OCD in me loves the idea of starting something on the first day of the year, so I think I will have a goal/word/aura this year.  It's similar to ones I've had before, and I'd like to share it with you not only because I like you, but also because you are my minions and I want to see you dance.

My [our] goal this year is this:

Be nice to yourself.

That's it.  That's the goal.

Enjoy your New Year's Day.  Listen to some U2, nurse your hangover, watch football or old movies, but most of all, be nice to yourself.

I'm watching you.

  1. Simple words, but easier said than done. I also don't do resolutions--every day I can try and be more awesome, right?--but intentions aren't a bad thing. Be nice to yourself, as well. You-we-deserve it.

  2. Are you really? Watching me, I mean... That's disturbingly awesome and I don't know whether to be nervous or REALLY turned on right now. Also? Sorry about that. I didn't know you were looking. I hope you don't think less of me.

    Your/our resolution is awesome, but I'm a little confused. Is this "being nice to self", as in: saying kind words to, or buying really awesome stuff for? Because I'm kind of a dick and not sure if I can say nice things for an entire year. I CAN, however, buy me totally useless junk and get excited about it...

  4. I layed around in my jammies all day. I never got dressed. I took a shower & put clean jammies on. Watched a lot of bad movies. I'm off to a great start!

  5. Sometimes myself is an undeserving asshole. But, I do try to accommodate her.

  8. Yes. We do. We need to stop that awful bitch inside saying, "see? I knew you wouldn't be able to do it."
    Kick her moldy ass to the curb. THE CURB.

    Thanks for watching me, Suni--you do that so so well.

    Love and peace to you, dear friend.

  9. You said engorged.
    That's why I love you.

    Miss you. Been crazy here.
