So...the year is almost over and boy has it been quiet in here.
How do you see yourself pushing envelopes in 2004? I'm in the fortunate position of being able to look forward to some extremely radical changes in my life as I move from the small town I've called home for the past ten years to return to the big city I grew up in and have longed to go back to. It could be glorious or disasterous, but one way or another it will be a powerful catalyst for change and growth within myself. I aim to make the most of it, leaping into the jaws of opportunities as they arise rather than standing back contemplating the balance of risk vs. potential reward until the opportunity passes as I've been apt to do.

Re: Envelope Pushing Resolutions?
Wed, December 31, 2003 - 1:55 PMHere here!
I too am resolving to move.
Out of my basement.
Out of my house.
Out of my family as I know it.
It is time to reinvent my Self again like the Ouroboros in the garden.
I don't know how, and it scares me pale, but it is time to ramble on... -

Wed, December 31, 2003 - 2:11 PMI don't really feel like I need to reinvent myself...just that I need to resume regular maintanence checks and tune ups and keep tinkering to improve what is really a pretty good core unit. I've just let myself collect a lot of dust and get all rusty. I feel like an old Dodge left in the garage for a few years.

Amusingly enough, my 2004 resolutions are all about consolidation and foundation-building. I'm pulling my boundaries in, cutting out the dead wood in my life, putting my regrets on a pyre, reigning in my impulsiveness, and forging ahead.
Rawr!

Mon, January 5, 2004 - 12:35 PMI'm getting my wisdom tooth pulled on thursday. Then next month, a cap for a broken tooth. I'm being an adult and taking care of this stuff and facing my fear of the dreaded dentist! woo - hoo?
As far as the new year goes, I've got a common, played out resolution - to exercise more and eat healthier. It's actually going well so far.
Oh, and I'm pushing for a promotion at work... so now I have to actually act like I deserve it and I have to take on a lot more responsibility. Even though I do deserve it, I'm not feeling so ready for the responsibility, so, ack, it's going to be an interesting few months. -

Mon, January 5, 2004 - 12:41 PMInterestingly enough my moving out depends on my getting paid more so I have the same resolve Mika. Oh, and working out more too!
We have this fabulous gym at work - why aren't I availing myself of it!? -

Tue, January 6, 2004 - 9:26 AMIf I'd made resolutions, they'd have pushed the envelope. I can't help it. It's just what I do. Perhaps I should have resolved to stay home and stay quiet for a while. And perhaps take more normal photos.

Re: Envelope Pushing Resolutions?
Wed, January 7, 2004 - 1:13 PMI've always enjoyed new year's resolutions. When I was a kid, I'd write these long rambling lists that were pages long, and then tack them up on the wall in my room. I wish I had kept them, they'd sure be entertaining reading now.
Hmm, resolution for this year. Maybe to be more honest about who I am? Share more of myself with people? I can be a secretive little wench sometimes. :P
That, and have more sex. Yeah. Definitely.

Re: Envelope Pushing Resolutions?
Wed, January 7, 2004 - 2:48 PMI think I'm getting a frenum and an ampallang this year. I hope to keep a great long distance open relationship with someone I met around christmas who should be coming back to Seattle around March. I'm gonna go to more art shows & plays and less bars & DJ nights. Thats about it.

Re: Envelope Pushing Resolutions?
Thu, January 8, 2004 - 7:07 PMGet through my second semester of graduate school in a more sane and balanced manner. Give myself more credit.
That, and testing out my theoretically polyamorous primary relationship by actually dating and having him date other people. So far there hasn't been much of that, but it's coming up fairly soon, I think. I'm horribly afraid that the combination of graduate school re-starting in a few weeks and relationship stuff advancing will tear me apart. Here's hoping I'll be able to push myself to deal with it, without pushing *too* hard.
