I've decided to shake things up a bit. This year, instead of writing resolutions solely for the year of 2008, I penned a list of "Life Resolutions" with some inspiration from 43things.com. These are long term goals that can be altered and edited as my life continues to take shape. I'm leaving the door open for myself. Some of the listed life ambitions and destinations may become a reality in 2008, some may not materialize until 2046. A few may never be realized. I spent this New Years Eve with my closest friends, having a million drunken laughs and toasting the years to come. We've got a lot ahead of us, a vast future to behold. A new year makes it all seem so promising, and very within reach for all of us.

find inner happiness
get my own apartment
buy my own computer
learn to tie my shoes

make straight A's
adopt my own cat = name a pet something from Harry Potter (happened simultaneously)
have a best friend
enforce random small acts of kindness
practice tolerance toward all living beings
buy my own car
live out of state
learn acceptance: to let go and move forward
It's gonna be a good one.
