I make a 'to do' list for the new year. not so much resolutions, just things i want to accomplish. then i look at the list on new years eve and see how many got crossed off. Last year wasn't so bad, there were a few that got moved to this year, but just seeing some things accomplished was pretty positive.

I tell my roomies my resolution, and they usually tell me theirs, that way we can try to help each other keep them, plus i think it helps them to understand when i get so into something what it is that I'm trying to accomplish.

Beautiful images, such a beautiful family, this was a wonderfully lovely and touching feel good piece, thank you for sharing.

adorable!

I don't think attraction has much to do with male or female so much as it has to do with the individual the attraction is for. I think true attraction really comes from knowing the person, not what you see on the outside and not what sex they are, but when you know their mind and heart and soul.

I think the problem is that too many people seem to think that depression is easily undone. They think it is the fault of the depressed person if they can't just get up and find something to do that will make them "happy" and i really hate that term when applied to depression or lack of depression because I don't really think that happy is the opposite of depressed and yet so many seem to want to throw that out there. I wish I knew why people saw the need to attach "blame" to things like this, I guess it's just a way of trying to understand something that is hard to understand, but yes, it can be very hurtful, as you said.

When I was in college a friend asked me if I would go with him to one as it was his first time going and he was real nervous about what it would be like. We both had a blast, there were a ton of nice guys and girls there that just wanted to talk and dance and drink and shoot pool and play darts and have a good time. We ended up being regulars there for the rest of the time we were in school

For 2012, the songs that stood out to me were: Pop evil - Monster you made me Black Label Society - the entire order of the black album, plus the acompanying acoustic album, but specific songs would be :Darkest Days, January and Godspeed Hellbound Marilyn Manson - Born Villian album: specific songs Flowers of Evil, no reflection, Children of Cain

Hi Ziola Lily, hope you have a happy new year!

I'm not a doomsday prepper, but we only have one grocery store in town, it had a fire earlier in the year and was closed for a few days, got me to thinking of what would happen if a bad storm or something wrecked it. I have always canned my own stuff anyway, so now i just try and make sure we have enough extras on hand to ride out two weeks of chaos should something ever happen to our store.

2012 is almost done…wow, just a few more hours and a ton more wine. I’m so ready. I think I’ll walk around town with the camera tonight, if it’s not too cold, take some pictures of the drunks staggering out into the snow. What a way to ring in the New Year huh. 2012 was fun for me and full of self-discovery and adventures, conquering fears and discovering new ones. I decided to list my five biggest triumphs of 2012, as well as a list of things I plan to do in the 2013 in the hopes that listing them will mean I get to cross things off the list as the year goes on. Top 5 triumphs of 2012 Earning my black belt in Tae Kwon Do Having my nature photos put up on display at the library and the nature center in town Having 2 blue ribbon jellies at the summer fair (blackberry-lemonade and cherry-limeade) Actually completing a novel which I doubt would have happened if I hadn’t found my way here to GA Getting my GPA back up to a 3.9 (only one more year left till I finish this course of study yey!) To do list Make blackberry wine from the blackberries in the garden Spend 4 days camping out by the caves in the eastern part of my state Go to Sturgis Spend a week hiking and taking pictures in Colorado Trap that pesky rabbit who lives in my garden so he doesn’t get to half the vegies this year Get my bow hunting license, see if I do better than I did with the shotgun this year Lose 50 pounds Spend some serious time playing my guitar again Christen the bonfire ring, I got it built, still haven’t lit a fire in it Get the strawberry patch planted, and make sure the pumpkins go in on time this year Finish all the half-finished crafts in the craft bin Take and pass the 3ds max head class I’ve been dreading Go canoeing for the first time in 15 years Convert that old shed out back to a working machine shed Finally check out all those local winerys I keep on meaning to go see Take my oldest to monster truck racing and my youngest to the theater to see a play Learn to make Christmas fudge without wrecking it Finish the uncompleted writings scattered all over my room.

I stick to playstation, I have a PS3, on top of it is sitting a PS2, on top of it is a PS1. (no i do not get rid of anything lol) but when i got into gaming, it was with playstation, i like the feel of the controller, i hate trying to use my roomies 360, the controller just doesn't feel the same. I'm not a huge gamer, but I like having a couple games to unwind and something to play when i'm struggling with ideas.

I was so afraid when he took that cap off he'd have cut his hair, good to see it is only dyed back to black. I'm glad they are finally admitting their feelings to one another, it will be awesome to see them actually go on a date and see the relationship progress.

Oh holy crap....awesome end to the chapter, and I loved the attempt at blackmail and the way 'the joke' keeps playing out,fooling some, not fooling others. I'm glad to learn some of what Eddie is a big mean person at times, and i can't wait to find out even more about the other joel. Great story!

Wow, seems like every time i check in you've got another chapter up! I'm loving this story, just loving it, their little joke, so funny, and yet with such harsh consequences between Eddie and his dad, i can't wait to see where you take things from here.
