3. Manage time better
4. Learn to sew
5. Get a job
6. Cook more often

FIRST AND FOREMOST my goal for 2011 is to lose enough flab that I can dress as Dan Hibiki at Halloween without looking like a pathetic, chubby cosplayer. That means the fat has to come off my face. I have a jawline and cheekbones somewhere, I know I do. I could totally be Dan Hibiki if I wasn't so fucking fat. I will do whatever I have to in order to make this a reality.

Also this year will involve me getting a better job or a managerial position in my current job.

I will also be gunning to get a place of my own so that I don't have to live in a houseshare anymore. This has to stop.

I intend to finish every project I've started and promptly abandoned. That includes Lessons v2 and a huge volume of TESfaggotry. I will not be starting new projects until all of my current projects are complete.

I must also learn to draw better. Some of the artists here make me feel a profound and terrible embarrassment when I look at my own work.

An optional goal for 2011 is punching my landlady in the face on the day I leave. It might also help for me to decide what gender I'm supposed to be, but this is by no means necessary either.

1. drop weight (default lol)
2. score A's and B's in school (soo close to this, I can taste it)
3. finish my Pyro cosplay
4. Get a boyfriend
5. Actually TRY to do my resolutions

1. Exercise more
2. Get a job (hopefully)
3. Try to be better about grades this semester.
4. Try to get rid of my perpetual Writer's Block

1) Pay my mother back for Australia, and all the fabric, in full (finally).
2) Start up my brand, finally :V
3) On a related note, use up at least half of the fabric I currently have and stop buying more (pic related, hurr)
4) Go to Australia again
5) Finish my NaNo 2009 and 2010 novels (at LEAST the latter)
6) Put my fat cat on a successful diet
7) On a related note to 4, to not be so broke so I can go visit Friska this summer on top of Otakon (a room for which I've already reserved) 8|

1) Draw better
2) Finish diploma
3) Get job at Pixar
4) Find relationship that is worth my time and effort
5) Do whatever the hell I want afterwards because I'm young and I should be happy
6) Tattoos!!

What method are you using for the job at Pixar resolution? I personally am going for the sending of portfolio until they cave route. WE SHOULD TRADE NOTES AND GET THERE TOGETHER.

>>3510

Well, they just opened a Pixar animation studio in my hometown last year. So I can still get a dream job and lurk in my parents basement with ease.

I've never had any official formal training in animation, but I intend on going to film school when I'm done my diploma. But I reckoned, that if I send a witty cover letter explaining my passions and intentions, they'd might offer me a volunteer position or something. Just anything, to get Pixar on my resume would be AWESOME!

I don't know if it'll work, but a girl can dream.

1) Lose body fat (I know I have muscle JUST underneath this flab)

2) Take a road trip to the east coast this summer to head to Otakon, then visit the Northeast again (so I can see my man again :3)

3) Make new friends at school. Which will definitely help with:

4) Become more active at school. This involves getting better grades (or at least working harder towards them), joining a club or two, and FINALLY getting off my ass and talk to the Education department to join the organization that helps out future high school science teachers.

5) Utilize my newfound confidence in some constructive way.

6) STOP IT WITH THE SODAS, SAGE. YOU WERE DOING SO WELL IN '10 BUT THEN YOU HAD THAT ONE SODA THEN YOU GOT BACK INTO THEM. EXCEPT FOR RUM AND COKE. THAT IS THE ONLY EXCEPTION.

7) Drink less. The rate I'm going now, I'm going to be an alcoholic in two years time, which won't look good on my resume. I don't /have/ to drink just because I can or just because others are.

If I can do at least 3 of the above objectives, I would consider the year to be a success. Come at me, 2011. I'm ready for your shit.

My goal for 2011 is just to become an all around better person since I ended this year in a pretty shit place personally. The goals include:

1. Stop procrastinating and do better on schoolwork. I used to be a straight-A student, and now I'm lucky if I can come away with a C in any of my classes.
2. Finish my short screenplay that I wrote this year.
3. Work on my portfolio so I can get a job working at an editing house somewhere (either in Hollywood or somewhere in the Bay Area). This includes making enough time and money to sign up for Final Cut certification classes, and if necessary, going to a trade school that teaches me everything I need to know about AVID and all that jazz.
4. Be more outgoing. Since I am without boyfriend to tell me not to go places without him, I have a little more freedom to see who I want to see and when I want to see them. This past semester I became afraid to reach out to friends in a crisis and it ended with me being in this terribly lonely place.
5. Try to see a therapist on a regular basis.
6. Write. Not necessarily anything fiction, just write for the sake of writing. In the blog I started, on the story I've been working on since I was thirteen, anything.
7. Learn to cook and make mixed drinks.
8. Learn to sew so I can make some more cosplay for WonderCon and Comic-Con (and possibly AOD and Fanime). Continue to work and improve on my cross-stitching projects so hopefully I can sell them to make a little extra cash here and there.
9. Go on a ghost hunt.
10. Finally get that tattoo I said I would get when I was 18.
11. Travel! Go to Vegas (Seriously, I think I'm the only person I know who didn't go to Vegas for my 21st birthday.) Go to Tahoe! See Resolution #1 and make it into the Shanghai Documentary Workshop!
12. Start taking better care of my body. This means working out, trying not to pig out on junk food when I can cook at home, stop ordering pizza every few days, start wearing make-up and doing something nice to my hair.

That's a lot of stuff to work on but some of them I hope will have a snowball effect (ex: cooking healthier meals at home = losing weight and saving money).

In no particular order at all:

(( Finish all the drawings/written things/what-have-you on my desktop. I put them there for a fucking reason, Hai, and it's cluttering my beautiful desktop. I've sort of started this...
(( Actually start up that webcomic my friend and I have been planning and building up on for about two years now.
(( Do all "unfinished" things that are causing me to have 50-or-so tabs open at once, e.g. the Daft Punk papercraft/finishing up watching Electroma/finishing and submitting that fic I promised I'd write for someone/the list goes on.
(( Start working on the Storybook again. It wasn't getting a whole lot of attention but fuck that, I don't want to have another dead fandumb-oriented comic sitting on my conscience.
(( Figure out a way to come out to my family as queer-everything. It's really awkward being caught multiple times in the "wrong" clothing section, then having to hide said clothes; also I want to have as much freedom as possible when Shan comes over, and I know they'll give me weird looks otherwise when I say we're going out.

1. Hang out with all you peeps going to Otakon this year, even though I won't have any Valve cosplays
2. Break my ADD habit of getting attracted to aything shiny while walking or talking, getting distracted by TV whilst on Skype, and being all over the place at school
3. Maintain that 3.8 GPA I like so much
4. Start to do costume comissions for friends so I have money
5. Get a job once my musical is over
6. Be a fantastic girlfriend and show boyfiend exactly how much I care, and that not all women are in relationships for self-gratification
7. Make sure all my classes aren't as fucked up as they were schedule-wise this year
8. Not lose weight, instead I want to alter my clothes to fit my figure better

1. Lose those damn 10kgs. Seriously, that's the only thing that's keeping me away from my perfect weight, and I'd have kept that if it weren't for finals/stress/antibiotics. Fuck that shit, I want to feel good again.
2. Get a steady job. I know that I can do it, I'm just not confident enough (and I need a good portfolio).
3. That being said, be more confident. And I should stop taking everything so seriously, especially when it comes to stuff that people say.
4. Travel in the summer! I don't care where, preferably the mountains, since ohgod I want to go there so much, it just didn't work out last year. :(
5. Graduate! Seriously, I don't really want to go to this academy anymore. I want to get a degree, and start a two years long course in the field that interests me the most (design, 3D animation, illustration). But I'm glad that I'm here, since people that are in the same year as me are the only ones that I want to have a reunion with in the future.
6. Finish one drawing every 1-2 weeks, stop procrastinating.
7. And stop thinking about the past! Seriously, some things from that time drive me nuts, and I don't need that. I want a ctrl+z combination for memories.

Just wanted to say happy new year! It's already 2011 in Finland.

1. Get a job. I know I'm a bum and I'm sick of it.
2. Lose weight. Obligatory resolution.
3. Give a damn about school again instead of trying to find ways to weasel out of it.
4. Get back my passion for art. I miss it so.
5. Learn how to skate again. I finally got the skates I wanted and I'm not just gonna let them gather dust.
6. Gain more self-respect for myself, because I'm worth it dammit.
7. Learn how to balance my friendships, both online and offline.
8. Watch at least 50 of the movies on AFI's top movie list.

In no particular order:

1. Start working out again.
2. Get job at Valve.
3. Finish my in-progress costumes.

6. Work on my game so that it looks less like a student project and more like a proper indie game.
