Hi guys,
For those of you who have noticed
ive been absent from HoP for a bit over a month, don't know why, do you ever get the i can't be arsed to go online or anything well thats been me, but i hope to be changing that soon. so anyway ive decided to mark my return to HoP with a post which a few of us start thinking about this time of the year, just curious, does anyone have any new years resolutions if so, what?Despite the fact I never keep them and can never be arsed its still tradition for me to make some up and 'attempt' some so here's mine (which will probably be edited and the list will grow when i remember more of them so here goes):
1) Get back in shape, have become too much of a big bloater from liviing on a student diet of toast and pot noodle. Not as thin as i used to be isn't that right Cantus!!
2) Stop eating Spaghettit Bolognase (or at least only 1 ever 2 weeks or so), i know this kind of goes in with the first one but well its just so damn big it needs its own section! oh i love spag bol, hmmm im hungry what to have
3) Post more on HoP, how i used to, i miss all you guys
4) Practise more with Poi, staff, contact juggling and bar flairing
5) Supposedly I need to become more 'domesticated' hmph so thats in there too,
right guys its your turn, so far i only have five, but i guarantee by in 3 days they'll be twice as many, does anyone have any more ideas for mine maybe?

probably cos i only searched for the word "resolutions".
You can just delete this thread dont you know.
But, if you do, then the mods wont see how unsuaually helpful ive been.
and theres no point in doing something if you dont get the recognition for it.

I've never really seen the point of new years resolutions, I reckon they're just an excuse to say you're going to do something that you don't really want to make the effort for.
I say, if you want to do something then just do it, it shouldn't matter what time of the year it is.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

Gosh... I'm pretty happy with myself this year.
This year I resolve to:
1) Maintain myself in the physical condition I'm in.
2) Remember, even in the darkest hours of my internship, that it is a privilege to be a doctor and that every patient is a gift.
3) Be less selfish and more selfless.
4) Nail a BTB move.
5) Look past the superficial and try to find a guy who is the man I want as a companion, rather than focusing on physical perfection.
6) (forgot about this one) Go back to being a vegetarian starting 1 January

So what are we talking, chicken or parrafin loving beauties. If it's chicken, I'd have to say leg.
If it's ladies I'm going to take the politically correct route and say it's their personality that really counts!!!

2 days ago I decided the only things I really wanted to do in 2005 were:
- more poi - in every sense including HoP
- give up smoking - reckon I'll do it too, just straights of course!
- get a new job to get work/life balance better (more time for poi)
but now, on New Year's Eve, more than anything i want to establish some firm friendships that add meaning and value to our respective lives - got a lot of love to give and no-one to give it to I guess

Wild child I resolve to make 2005 as happy and health as possible for friends, family and myself.
I want to conquer my fear of deep water and heights.... so are there any rock climbers, handgliders and surfers out there willing to teach me? I will scream and I will cry and you may have to yell at me to get me to do it, but I am determined to get over these fears.
I'm going to take up staffing too this year so be ready to have me nag you to teach me stuff and ready to have a good giggle as I thwap myself in the head!

Sorry war child ...oops I mean wild child!
