New year’s resolutions can be great. They can be motivating and fulfilling and rewarding. They can also be completely soul-destroying. They can morph into something terrifying that will follow you around during the year as you go about doing good things and being a decent person, belittling all your efforts and achievements by reminding you that you haven’t done that arbitrary thing you said you would.
This year I’m only making ridiculous resolutions.
-
I will join and then promptly forget about as many social networking sites as I can.
-
I will write as many stories about seaweed monsters as I can.
-
I will daydream about taking a year off for a whirlwind adventure of the world, and will eventually settle on a weekend in Berlin (and freaking love it too).
-
I will dance wildly, whether in public or in private, at least once a week.
-
I will drink more tea, less coffee. I’m a tea drinker at heart, always have been.
What are your ridiculous resolutions?

1. I will go to my local supermarket in pajamas one morning.
2. I will actually try and grow a miniature rats tail (I DON’T KNOW WHY BUT I REALLY WANT ONE.)
3. I will take my bunny to the park and throw sticks for it.
4. I will post a picture of myself on my blog. (eeeeek!)
Happy New-Resoluting =)

I love your first resolution! When I was at university I went to the shops in my jim jams all the time haha! I feel like it’s far less acceptable now that I’m no longer a student (and now that the shops are a 10 minute drive away)
Ooh, I look forward to seeing a picture of you and putting a face to your writing :)

I only approve of these if you promise to post some of these seaweed monster stories….

I most definitely will!

I didn’t make any resolutions this year, because I can’t be bothered to set myself up for failure and I have got enough to keep myself busy already without adding any more to the list. I love your resolutions they really made me laugh!

This was my thinking too. Anything worth doing will get done over the course of the year anyway, and there’s no use having a failed resolution looming over you and making you feel bad even if you’re working hard anyway!
Thanks! :)
