Hip Hip Hooray
How it’s Used:
“We won the little league game! Hip hip hooray!”
What You’re Actually Saying:
“We won the little league game! Let’s go kill some Jews!”
What a drastic difference.
I had a dream that he and I were at a bar and we got in a fight, so we split off. I went to a group of my sisters and he went to another girl and flirted with her, touched her hands and hair, etc. I jealously watched him from afar while my girlfriends were having drinks and I didn’t drink at all. Then, I got up and approached the girl and proceeded to throw insults at her until she couldn’t take it anymore and left. Then he and I made out, and made up. Oh, then I went to the bar to have a drink and they gave me a shot of Amaretto instead of an Amaretto Sour, and I was like, “You don’t take shots of Amaretto…” and I had to tell them how to make my own drink.
Moral of the dream: I’m a bitch and a control freak.
Lovely.
Ok, so I have a new tradition of posing a vague and ambiguous FB status of a resolution and then I elaborate in great detail on tumblr. Last year was “Be a better me.” This year, “Work hard. Have fun. No drama.”
However……I’m a goal setter. Therefore, I must set some resolutions for the next 364 days.
- Have more fun. I know that seems stupid but I mean it. More karaoke, more nights out, dinner and drinks, bowling, picnics, I don’t even care. I just need more fun in my life.
- If things don’t get better by May, get him the hell out of my life. I know this seems harsh, but I have spent 2 years letting ONE guy control my happiness when it relates to love and relationships. This rocky road is driving me insane and quite frankly, if he doesn’t get his act together soon, I have to move on completely. I give all of myself to someone who can’t even give me a phone call back over winter break.
- Eat healthier and grocery shop more. Believe me, I love to order D5 from my chinese place more than almost anything. I’ve been eating takeout way too much lately, to the point where I am a “regular” at multiple places. They know to put extra sauce in my bag. Not cutting it for me. I have all of these wonderful appliances and a bit of knowledge about cooking and it all goes to waste.
- Have more pride in the way my apartment looks. This includes general cleanliness and also the decor, because I can’t get my act together to put up art in this damn place. I am so non committal with home decoration and it drives me insane.
- Speaking of the apartment, another goal is to STAY in the apartment for another year. As of late, my parents have told me that they are going to cut the amount that they allocate towards my expenses because my sister is moving out of the dorms too. I need to stay in this apartment, ALONE. I can’t do roommates anymore and I love where I live.
- Save $XX,XXX in the bank. I know what numbers fill the Xs {All of them, more of them? Only I know…} I have saved half of that number now in one year and I’m on track to accomplish this goal by 2014 for sure.
- Get a raise, get a promotion, or get the hell out. I have done the same job for 4 years. I know what I am doing and I’m good at it. Unfortunately, I am not terribly fond of the way my owners conduct business at my current job because they don’t place enough value on longevity and compensation. I know what my time is worth and I have had plenty of people tell me I could be making at least $4-7 more per hour to do other jobs that I’d probably enjoy more. We’ll see. I know that I was just honored with an award from the company but it’s getting to that point where I need to make some big decisions.
- Get my heath in check. I need to schedule so many appointments and it’s been far too long. I have been physically healthy these past few months but general checkups need to be conducted soon.
- Keep shopping to keep me sane. I am a huge believer in Retail Therapy. I get a high off of shopping sometimes. I have the discretionary income to do it and it makes me happy, so why not? I have purchased some quality items lately and I need to continue.
- Be more optimistic and make more friends who get me out of my shell. I really do love people {in general} even though I’m cooped up in my place most of the time. I just need people to push me out of my shell. I’m a shy person who is also incredibly outgoing in the right circumstances.
Well, there that is. I know this is long. Forgive me for hogging your feed but tumblr is the only place where I can type freely like this.
