Goals for 2010, revisited
So last year I posted a bunch of goals that I set for 2010. I checked ‘em over and nothing will change between now and the end of the year, so let’s go through ‘em and discuss, in order of success to failure.
2. Eat a muffin
Done, done, done and done! So many times done.
5. Gain 5kgs
Ohmigod, I actually did this! And it wasn’t all the muffins I ate. I thought I had failed until I weighed myself last week. I was as shocked as you are right now. Mostly because I look exactly the same. The difference is that what were flabby limbs have turned into slightly-less-flabby limbs. Huzzah!
6. Visit Asia, date an Asian, or eat a pack of dehydrated noodles
Done. I didn’t visit Asia or date an Asian, but I did eat a pack of dehydrated noodles. Just not nearly as many as I did muffins.
4. Date an uggo.
Done. A couple times, actually. Sorta. It’s not higher because while I wrote this goal with the intent of going on several dates with a single uggo, I went on single dates with several uggos. Sorry I didn’t call you back, uggos. (And yes, I am fully aware that look like a mouldy washboard myself. That’s the joke. And don’t worry, you’re not even remotely an uggo. You’re lovely.)
7. Act as unapologetically weird as I feel on any given day in any given situation. No matter who might be watching or how many pineapples I may be carrying.
Somewhat done. This is where the goals get kinda mushy. I never once carried multiple pineapples and I did, at times, dial down my weirdness. Though at other times I certainly let it fly wildly. (Ahem, this blog.)
3. Redefine what I think is a good use of my time. Increase the preceived importance of simple things, like cooking and going for walks. Decrease the perceived importance of creative projects and future-planning. Do this not to stop doing either of the latter, but to allay guilt from time spent not doing the latter.
Not done. Hard thing to quantify, but yeah, no. I did do a lot of cooking and walking and running and chilling out, but my brain didn’t stop thinking about creative projects or future-planning. Hard to give that up while you’re taking a summer off to decide what to do with your life.
1. Let go of my anger towards urban sprawl, suburbs and the car-reliant mindset of modern development and the middle-class demographic they cater towards.
Not done. It might be a step down from anger now, but I still hate it. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.
I wonder what I should attempt in 2011. Maybe writing blog posts that get more interesting as you go, and not the other way around. Hmm.
