Resolutions
I know it’s half-way into the year and some people think resolutions are lame, but I don’t care, I still love them. Even though I forget them within the first month, I think they’re fun to look back on in a year.
- Keep in contact better. I’m awful at this. I usually dump my phone in my bag and forget to check it until I’m setting my alarm for the next day. I need to get better about replying to emails too.
- Eat better.
- Raise a plant.
- Fix my sites. I’m very diligent when it comes to working on sites at work or for other people. But when it comes to my own sites, I can’t bring myself to cross-browser check or fix broken links.
- Fix my room. It makes me sad when it’s 9am and sunny outside, but in my room it looks like it’s 2am and we’re in the middle of a lunar eclipse.
- Learn how to hold a conversation. Examples of my excellent conversational skills:
(At the grocery-store checkout, where I bought four bottles of wine because you got a free bag.)
Outgoing cashier: Hey! Having a big party tonight?
Me: Umm…no.
(Walking down the street, I spot a co-worker and wave.)
Her: How are you?
Me: Good! What about you?
Her: Good!
Me: Good!
Her: Good!
Yesterday I had dinner with my friend Rosalin. Whenever I eat with her I’m guaranteed two things: good company and delicious food. Earlier that week I was kicking myself because my classmate told me about the Final Fantasy concert a month ago, yet when I went to get tickets the week before (I didn’t think he was that popular!), they were sold out. They also said there were no standby tickets either. After dinner, I thought I would mosey on over to the venue and try my luck.
It seemed a bit shady at first. I asked the man at the door, who told me to go stand near the garbage cans off to the side and wait, which I did. And the guy who let me in said I could just pay him later since I didn’t have any cash on me. Shady or not, I was so happy I got to see Owen Pallett. He was amazing as usual (but, I miss the overhead projector he sometimes used for visuals). And did not make eye contact with the audience per usual, which I think is endearing. I secretly wish I was an attractive gay gentleman so I could have a shot at winning his heart.
