New years resolutions

[luckykaa]

Well, it's that time of year again. The way I see it, it's daft to make new years resolutions in the middle of winter when it's cold, dark and depressing and there's no way of being motivated to do anything. So I wait a bit.

It's also a waste of time to try to be who you feel you should want to be rather than what you want to achieve. No dieting or excercise for me. It's just a time to take stock of where I am and what I want.

A few years ago, I listed what I wanted, and came up with:

1. Get a new job.
   
2. Find a new place to live.
   
3. Find something to do in the evenings.
   
4. Make some friends.
   
5. Find a girlfriend.

Which was reasonably successful.  I managed #3 and #4 reasonably quickly once I put my mind to it.  After a year and a half I managed #1 and #2 which is nice but #3 was pretty much London based.  And moving makes #4 an issue again.  #5 was a low self esteem thing at the time.  I've got over that and I'll just let things happen there. 

So that means I have two aims:

1. Find a hobby
2. Make some local friends.

Clearly, #1 can lead to #2.  But I can't help feeling all the hobbies I'm drawn to are a little geeky.  On the other hand I rather want to meet some geeky people.  And something that's not toally male dominated would be nice.
