New Years Resolutions for 2006

Not quite a new year resolution for me, as I'm starting today, but I'm now a vegetarian!

Anyone else got any major life changing resolutions?

Did you manage to learn a new language this year Mixedspaces?

p.s. Oh yeah, I'm also going to sign up to pay a decent monthly donation to at least 3 charities. It's shameful that I've not done this already Rolling Eyes

for years my resolution was 'get a man' but that failed so i've given up. the other of course is to be nicer and i achieve that a little each year...dunno if it's negated by the times when i'm not nice!

Breaking News:
Kinkster joins the Veggie Party.

haha, no way Kinx. I bet your girlfriend has got something to do with this. Very Happy

Seriously though... good for you, it's a respectable thing to do. I don't think I could do it (without a bit of brainwashing anyway...).

Dear Gillworm,
Don't give up - you'll find your man sooner or later. Perhaps the men in London aren't really into the 'naughty nun' thing of yours, well it's their own loss. Laughing

Oh, and I heard a rumour that you've already found your man... kind of. hahaa Wink

Here's the 2005 resolutions thread if anyone wants to have a look. 2005 has been quite good to me so far, unfortunately I didn't have any time for travelling this year. How about you, mixedcases, did you visit 12 countries in 2005?

In a way my girlfriend does have a lot to do with it Wink

She's been a veggie for 5-6 years. When we moved in together four years ago I said I'd support her by not eating meat in the house - only when we went out.

Well four years on from that I've managed quite easily, so I've figured, why eat meat at all? There seems such little point.

Same reason I quit smoking!

Is the vegie decision a health thing, an animal loving thing, a girlfriend supporting thing or a mega mix of all these things?

Next year my plan is to get a permanent job, buy a house, go on 2 big era defining holidays and get pay off my debts. All sounds a bit dull and materialistic doesn't it.

my new years resolutions are basically getting out the house and doing more...

1. start going to the orchestra - never been on my own accord.
2. go to the cinema more - went once this year and that was because it was free..
3. go on holiday - already italy in the pipeline, maybe france.
4. read at least one book a month - this year it was one book a year.. Confused

5. form a band/bands - because i like making and performing music and its getting boring on me own. i just have to decide on a genre..
6. get a new job - my is very yawnworthy.

the house and girlfriend stuff can come later when it doesn't seem so daunting (or impossible.)

i have vowed to become a veggie when i move out. my mum does enough for me without having to prepare a veggie alternative every other night for me. plus i like chicken. a lot.

pd.x.

I don't believe in resolutions, but my thoughts for next year.

I'd like to not bleed as much as this year, I think altogether I blead at least half of 2005.

I would like a permanent job, close to home if it's possible (I am doing my best, applying all the time).

Well, that's it. I have to say that 2005 has been the worst year of my life so far...so I am looking forward to 2006...touch wood, it'd be scary if it got even worse this year.

Chicken is also what keeps me from being a vegetarian. I like it a lot.
But when I go out etc I do eat meat because I have iron deficiency and iron pills mess my stomach up. But most time if I'm at a conference or fly or something I order vegetarian, often they're better than regular food.

Anyway, next year...yeah...hope also that my brother and partner get jobs and become happier.

Love & Peace

Well, I have to say that I'm far from fluent in Swedish! I have made a decent start though and I'm going to keep on trying to learn more next year. As for visiting 12 countries... I managed 6, so not too bad, I always knew it was very optimistic! I didn't make it out of Europe either...

For 2006 - not sure yet, but I think it will probably be to travel more and also to spend more time on my music - I've recorded about 2 of my own songs this year, that's so slow! I've done other things in bands of course, but I want to concentrate on my own stuff more I think. Maybe the resolution will be to record a whole album of proper songs in 2006.

Mark. x

p.s. I'm vegetarian too, and it's mostly because we can live perfectly well without killing things, in the modern world of quorn and vegeburgers! It's evolution I say!

Quorn is scary though, it's mould...I'd rather just eat beans and vegetables and stuff.

Love & Peace

I've been a veggie for over 20 years now. It started as a form of teenage rebellion and my Mum basically said she'd accomodate my requirements, but if I ever let her down...

And so, even though I've long left the maternal homestead I don't feel any desire to start eating meat again

i had bad food poisoning after eating quorn once. i think i thought it didn't need cooking like chicken would, as it's just like mushroom or something. the vaccuum packaging it always comes in should have been a clue that it does need cooking properly and you can't just leave it in the fridge for ages after its eat by date.
