I thought it would be a good idea to put our goals for the coming year out there. Sorta like New Years Resolutions, but not with the same stigma attached!
Life changes, attitude changes whatever!
This way we can come back to this thread and use it as a sort of checklist to see where we are and what we`ve done!

I`ll go first!
I`d like to drop a few pounds! Nothing major, just 20-30 pounds. I thought about it the other day and even though I don`t notice it on my body, when I picked up the cat litter box (which is 20 pounds) it was heavy, and that made me think.
I`d also like to like to get things done right away as opposed to giving it my old `ahh, I`ll get to it later!.`
I`m still thinking though, of the things I`d like to add!
What about everyone else!?

i'm getting back to my art this year. it's been too long since i did anything fine art - drew, painted, etc. i bought a sketchbook sometime in the last few years, and i'm trying to find it. if i don't find it soon, next payday i'm buying another, and a small set of pencils/blenders/erasers - maybe i'll even use my Christmas money for some gouache. i have a few friends with some albums upcoming, and at least one of them wants me to help with the cover art, so i gotta get my skills back in shape.
other than that, i'm already in the process of getting more physically organized, and mentally organized. this should free up some more time for me to do other things i enjoy, like knitting.
eta: and SEWING OMG!

Not be so insecure and not be so mopey when I am jealous of others, and to not measure my accomplishments and general life by the people around me........
and to make my sister in law's life a living hell......

Hmm.
The biggest thing I want to do is work on creating a better relationship with my dad. I don't want to, but I know that I will be happier if I do. And I wanna be happy.
Also, I wanna finish my first year of college and start my second year.
And I want to continue on my sewing skills.
Oh, and work on being the best flute player eva! Nah. Just work on my mad skills more.
And hopefully by the new year I will know what is going haywire in my body so I can work on keeping it fully healthy and I won't have to worry about passing out.
*nods* Yup. That's my list. For now at least.

You guys all have very good goals! Congratz right there! ;D For me, I'm the, maybe I'll get around to this, but if it's not a good idea, then I'll drop it-type, so I don't like to take goal-setting too seriously. Life is what happens when we're making plans, so I rarely like to make any plans, since they tend to get ruined by the Universe, anyway. But, I'll say what I'd LIKE to do this year -- what I hope I can accomplish: I want to start writing my manuscript sometime this year, although I won't hope for finishing it. Just getting it started is enough to hope for, lol. I want to get rid of my sleep apnea, so I can breathe properly at night. This might actually be doable (for a change). I want to discover any little nutritional deficiency I may still have and correct it. I get plagued by these far too often, and I'm SICK of it.... And, dare to dream, I want to get rid of my hypoandrenia. Damn adrenal glands don't work right and I'm as fed up with that as I can possibly be!! Lastly, I need to finish an old painting I started about 2 years ago, and have always meant to finish it, but never did. I feel so ridiculous for not ever finishing it, and it has so much potential... > Great thread, Avy! I wonder if I'll be reading this same time next year to see what I've done (and not done)...

I am GUESSING that you're talking about your driver's license? And yes! Do as well as you can in school! I almost regret not doing everything I could to be better in school when I was there. I graduated with a B average, but could have done so much better... Woot, y'all! I'll be looking forward to hearing all through the year about what everyone is doing! I tried to do this when I was your age, but my dad is a bastard and I ended up being friendly with him for like half a year then realizing he was an assface. XD Good luck to you on that front! Don't force yourself though - sometimes things only come with time and small steps. (And sometimes people don't come together again until later in life!) Sorry, I didn't mean to dispense advice XD Just be kind to yourself about the situation I guess is what I mean. I used to be like this before I realized that shit happens to everyone else just as much as it happens to me. Once I realized that the people I was envious of had it just as bad as I did but in different ways, I was able to put that to bed! I know where you're coming from. It's tough! Neither do I, Kyashi! I like to know what's out there though even if I don't hold myself to it. I'd rather say the things out loud and make sure I'm aware of them. Things look different when they're uncovered! I hope no one is too hard on themselves! Be kind and love yourself. I know I love you all!

I'm like Kyashi. I don't really make plans because I always end up flying by the seat of my pants anyway. But I love the fact that all of you have a few and,for the most part,they're attainable. As far as weight goes,I've done everything (healthy and not-so-healthy) to lose weight.Now I figure when my fat is tired of me,it'll leave.

And, if only fat would DO that, at some point!! Oi! @avy: thank you, hunny. You are such a dear to us all! I'm really glad that I'm the one hardest on myself, because if someone else were harder on me than myself, that person would be a jerkass, and would need to take a long walk off a short pier. Seriously...

What do I want in this new year...?
My main focuses are getting on with my life the way I want it. I want to travel more, I want to look into acting and art schools, I want to meet more voice actors and get a better friendship with those people (yes, including Troy again). I wanna really think about my emotional well-being instead of everyone else's. I've spent this whole year dealing with not being where I want to be, and it's so incredibly frustrating to deal with.
So yes, travel is definitely on my list of things to do. I wanna travel to California for sure, more than once, and I would like to travel to Texas to see Funimation in person.
I'm really going to be Anime-oriented this year.
That's my goal. <3

Great thread topic! And you've all got some great goals for the coming year!
Well I'd like to drop a few pounds (quite literally a few) but I'm more interested in trying to eat healthier again. I felt so much better physically when I was, that it's worth it if I can do it. So if weight loss comes with the healthy eating then great. If not, then I'm not going to worry about it.
I really need to get back into an exercise routine, too, as I'm feeling the effects of being out of shape as well.
And I most definitely want to get as much done on "Work In Progress" as I can. I'd really like to finish up Chapter 2 early this year so I can get to Chapter 3.
I'd really like our condo to sell, but that's not something within my control, so I can't really set that as a goal - even though I REALLY want it to happen soon.
And then there's always the baby thing.
I guess that's about all I can think of for now though.
