My Big Secret

...

I HATE SHOPPING!!!!

I don't mind browsing... and of course I love having new things. But the actual process of trying things on, finding things to match, deciding what is affordable/practical/good quality/etc. is absolutely exhausting and stressful and I hate it. It doesn't help that the air is always so dry and my vision blurs, or that the automatic toilet flushers in all the restrooms have have the worst timing ever. Then I get even crankier. Ugh.

My other secret, on a sidenote: Spice World and My Little Pony are quite possibly the best movies ever made.

Resolutions for the New Year

I usually don't do the New Year's Resolutions thing... but this year I'm feelin' the need for some change. ;) Let's see how long I can keep these!

~ No more personality wear till summer. And even in the summer... mega moderation! I need to maturize and wholesomize my image--and get back in touch with my inner good girl... just a little! ;)

~ 2 drinks max per outing. Two will get me pleasantly tipsy. More than that will have me falling over/doing splits/lap dancing/pretending I'm a Rockette/flashing my Bad Kitty panties/thoroughly embarrassing myself. Not to mention I look uglier. Special occasions may call for exceptions. :P

~ Find a good church. I tried going once last year but the pastor basically wanted to have sex with me. But that was just once. I need to try again and get in touch with my spiritual side.

~ Focus more on being productive at work, and finding what I really want to do. Right now I'm basically all over the place, distracted, and have no direction. And that in and of itself is exhausting.

~ Find a way to get some exercise!!! My life is becoming more and more sedentary, but I hate the gym. Bad combination. I don't really want much muscle or lose weight... but a healthy heart could be good!

~ Tan less, embrace my pallor more. I need to kick this expensive insecurity in the ass!!! Especially since it's winter for goodness sake.

~ Get involved in the community. Do more outdoorsy things, or basically anything other than just big city style partying. I need to broaden my horizons. Life needs to be more than working and partying and sleeping. I need some unique experiences, and I need to meet more people.

~ Be more open minded about dating. HAHA. I'm 23 years old and don't know how to date. Sigh.

~ Be nicer. I have released my inner b*tch this year. Not out of control, but enough to make people go "NIKKI! YOU just said that?!". And I don't want people to think I'm a mean girl. ;)

~ Start saving money. Reality hits... :(

~ Stop acting naive/oblivious and punch guys in the face when they get sketchy! Flirting is fun, but certain things should never be said or done.

Ok that's it. Let's see how it goes!

ADDENDUM: Get on a normal sleeping schedule!!! 11 p.m. on weeknights. And no more sleeping till noon on weekends!

HELLO 2008!

Words can't describe how phenomenal New Year's Eve in NYC was. Can it get any better than partying with your favorite people in the world, who love you no matter what, with limitless cocktails, delicious hors d'oeuvres, party horns, chocolate covered strawberries, scandalous dancing (and dance-offs), kisses galore, and and a swanky Manhattan lounge? I think not. Great way to close out an even greater year. On to a bigger and better 2008!







I love you guys!! :)
