New Year's Resolutions

It is that time of year where you start looking back at your past year and forward at the next year.  It’s when you decide whether or not you lived up to your New Year’s resolutions and what your next year’s resolutions will look like. 

Last year my resolutions were as follows (albeit partially to annoy people and partially because I’m not a goal-oriented person):

1.    Get two new tattoos, one of which had to be done with little-to-no thought in advance

2.    Get two new piercings

3.    Have fun

I must say, I did a stellar job. 

I got three new tattoos, one of which had no thought behind it and one of which had some, but not much thought behind it and that I asked the artist to mostly freehand.  The third tattoo I got was one I’ve been hoping to get for about eight years.  You can read about it. 

I got seven new piercings.  One was a “repeat” as I had lost the jewelry and then the hole closed up.  But still, seven new piercings.  One of them is completely unique in that the jewelry was custom made for my ear as it was put in.  Two are technically surgical and look like they are just stuck in my face.

I had soooooo much fun!  I can’t even express how fun this last year was.  Sure, it was chock full of stress as well.  I got two friends hired and fired.  I helped my boss open a third company.  I had quite a bit of family stress including my dear old grandma being stuck in the hospital for two weeks.  BUT I got all of those body modifications (all with good friends around), attempted to be the Face of Fox, acquired an awesome boyfriend, started hanging out with a group of friends who are basically the awesomest people in the world, went on a road trip with my BFF, went to family reunion for the first time in about six years, and the list goes on and on.  I had SOOOOOOOO much fun.

Now I just have to figure out what I’m going to do next year… I’m not sure what I’ll do.  I’m sure I’ll come up with a more intense list of resolutions.  But a few things in my life need to settle down before I go into detail about some of that on here, I think.  But this is my year-end wrap up of resolve.  I’ll probably post a few more times before the end of the year, but this is my personal Resolution Wrapup (unless I got more tattoos or piercings… which is totally possible… my piercer tends to call my name these days…).
