THIS IS THE HOUR.

its 10.23. i always have a weird feeling about that time. 10.23. it just seems odd. anyway, 2006 comes in about an hour and a half, which is quite soon. i hereby vow to make 2006 better than 2005. at least the 10th grade part of 2005. its been insane, and not in a good way. i need to step up my game, so here're a few resolutions. actually, a lot.

• first and foremost, make 2006 better than 2005. also:
• stop eating all the time
• get back out of the habit of not doing all of my homework every night
• try to make time to go back to the Y somehow
• observe lent without cheating, except once on my birthday (which is inconveniently always during lent) [EDIT:Sometime after Lent] I was awesome. And now I make way fewer Yo Mama jokes.
• be less pessimistic about alto I (N/A)
• be less pessimistic in general
• (there is a resolution here that is private)
• save more money than i spend
• not buy anything that doesn't fit
• be nicer to my parents
• eat more vegetables and drink more water
• give up on sean (because seriously, thats a both hopeless cause and a bad idea)
• apply for 10 scholarships
• stop scratching my knees and elbows all the time
• improve my posture
• get rid of everything i own that i dont like (who wants some stuff?)
• get to school earlier than 725 every day
• overcome fear of at least one of the following: sleeping with my ears exposed, dancing, report cards, lindsay douglas
• grow out my hair and wash it more often
• get more sleep
• keep up with all my reading
• take 100 walks and keep count
• get something overpriced from victoria secret [EDIT: 11 March 2006] Check! IPEX goes wireless!
• brush my teeth twice every day
• forget justins phone number [EDIT: 6 May 2006] I sure don't remember it.
• write

thats enough for now. its 27.

im giving up my vices. / im goin back, back to school. / eviction or not, this weeks been so hot / but long as ive got you i know ill be cool. / last week, i wanted just to disappear, / my life was dust / but now if just may be a happy new year.

happy new year.
