New year, new you?

[Baffle]

Or the same old shit?

Is this the year that you're really going to make that change? (No.)

Any leaves to turn over? Big? Small? Guess it doesn't matter at all? Hopes and dreams for 2023?

Goals:
Get heavier
Get paid more for less work
Tidy the shed
Make some nice things in the shed
Get much better at welding
Find an optician that doesn't drink coffee
Flood defences

Get a new kidney. Unfortunately, that's not up to me.

Ah man, hope that goes well for you.

 

[Bedinsis]

Buy an apartment. According to the predictions, it will reach a dip this summer, so I might at long last actually own the apartment I live in.
Get a new job. (Which I've been planing to do almost since I started it which was several years ago, so I wouldn't bet on me being able to do it.)

 

[Gordon_4]

No. I am at this point a lost cause in every way that counts so I'll just lumber along as best I can.

 

[gorfias]

More like refurbished to the point that I can still function.

Happy New Year all

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

I'm going to read 2 pages of Moby Dick every day. I should be done by August.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

I already gave up all my goals and ambitions. My sole resolution for 2023 is to not let the fuckheads get one over on me.

 

[Worgen]

Buy a condo or house, market has been all the bullshit recently but its slowly getting less stupid and since rent just keeps getting stupider and stupider... yeah.

 

[Elvis Starburst]

Gonna start pursuing a potential new direction for work (or start making progress towards making it happen in the future).
Looking to build a 2.0 of my D&D table at some point.
Been making great strides in matters regarding my gender identity, and progress is going to go even quicker this year now that I've got the ball rolling.
I'm actually gonna lose some weight for once so I can fit into some clothes and styles I want.

Big stuff! Gonna be exciting all around

 

[davidmc1158]

Incrementally murder the cancer, not get fucked over by the insurance company, scream incoherently into the void periodically. So same ol' same ol'.

 

[RhombusHatesYou]

...

No.

 

[Drathnoxis]

I'm going to read 2 pages of Moby Dick every day. I should be done by August.

Oh no, why would you do that to yourself?

 

[Phoenixmgs]

Kinda already made most of my needed changes this year like actually caring about my diet (down from 42s to 32s in less than a year) and getting a condo.

 

[Buyetyen]

I'm going to learn at least one language this year. The goal is to know enough to hold a short, pleasant conversation. That and of course how to swear in that language. Currently in my sights: Greek.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

Oh no, why would you do that to yourself?

I like reading classical works of literature.

 

[Dalisclock]

I'm going to read 2 pages of Moby Dick every day. I should be done by August.

God Speed good sir/ma'am. I say that having read Moby Dick and having no urge to ever do so again. Hopefully you'll enjoy it more than I did.

...

No.

An optimist, I see.

 

[Dalisclock]

Read a bunch of books I've been putting off.
Visit Greece on vacation.
Start actually writing the book I've been pre-planning in my head for *Checks Watch* about a year and a half now.
Something Something video games.
Clean my basement up.
Clean my yard up.
Lose some weight.
Poop on Elon Musks front porch and get away scot free.

 

[SilentPony]

My cousins and I gained weight over the Pandemic. Everyone did. So we all agreed to start training together. Plus guess who finished culinary school and gets to be titled "Certified Culinarian"?

That's right. Chef SilentPony. Kneel ye unwashed masses. And also wash, 'cause that's a pretty big health code violation.

 

[Bedinsis]

Since this is a thread about looking ahead to the new year, this subject is also relevant: did you do anything of note* during 2022?

I went on a 5 day summer course in stop motion animation, which was on a whim but which turned out to be something I enjoyed doing.

*"of note" meaning that it was something that was notable for you, not something that necessarily impresses strangers.
