Well, that's that year over and done with

[luckykaa]

So, last year I decided I'd do the following:

1. Find another company to contract with. 
2. Go to Australia
3. Find Love
4. Find excuse to wear Link costume again :)
5. Visit friends in Israel. 

And managed 1, 2, 4, 5 and we'll see about #3 but really the lesson I learned is stop taking relationship stuff so seriously.

There was an implicit one year deadline there. 

So I need to work out what I want to do this year.

1. Volunteer for something. 
Because it's fun. Therefore it would have to be something socially useful that I enjoy doing.  Probably

2. Buy a house
Somewhere near a station, with a spare bedroom.

3. Run a role playing game. 
Actually I'd like to run a game of Puppetland with a bunch of people.  If there's another game people are hankering to play, I'd be happy to run it if you don't mind that I'm still sort of feeling my way to work out what works.  I've been wanting to run a game with a bunch of people for years now. 

4. Learn to sing
I just want to get something resembling being in tune.  Actually I think this is the hardest.

5. Finish one of these damn stories
I do have 4 on the go.  I can't claim writer's block for all four of them.  Lack of time just isn't an excuse. 

So that's a good start...  Feel I should add more to the list but I really can't think of anything I really must do.  Perhaps increase my repertoire of recipes.  I do seem to find myself eating the same stuff all the time.

I can't make lists as I give myself such a hard time for failing to achieve, yet it is good to plan and see people achieving what they set out to do. I wonder if in our more 'connected' and celebrity obsessed world that what we think we want is actually not what we want but what we believe others would put a value on. In short what is the meaning of life :)

I make lists because they work for me, but it's very much something that defends on the person. Some people use affirmation exercises. Some people simply write down their goal a given number of times a day. For some people prayer, or ritual magic works. The way I see it the main point is that you actually work out what you want to achieve.

Interesting point about what we want and what others want. There's always going to be a certain amount of doing it for other people. Recognition is important. I do make sure I've considered these though. They'll make me feel a sense of achievement.

I can offer to help with #3 - I'll play. Could be a fun way to pass some time. So the big question is when and where, or did you have some other players in mind?

If it's Puppetland, Mark and Gwen expressed an actual interest so I'd like to get them involved. If they were to come to gaming with adequate warning I'd run it there.

Thing is, when I've mentioned it in the past Claire seemed somewhat anti. Otherwise I'd suggest it for Vix's Frolics.

Could run something else. Maybe a game of cat run at weekly gaming...

For a game that takes 60 minutes, it's remarkably hard to arrange.
