Summer – Goals for every facet.
Jun 8 2010 4 comments Anita Blake Fiction Gaming Internet Life Music Personal Reading Television
I’ve decided that everyone needs to come around and pick some goals they’d like to garner from a few subjects this summer– it’s a way to motivate yourself into using the summer months, which for some is just vacation and for others just means hot, sticky, sweaty-ness with no end in sight– some of these will be indoor type stuff, others probably not so much. Feel free to write your own and comment with your blog so I can see what you’ve decided. Here we go.
Books
            This summer I vow to finish reading at least three different book series, at least in part (depending on the number of books in the series, some may be harder), such as The Elric Saga
Television
            The summer is kind of a dead zone for television, at least as far as most things are concerned, so I tend to vow to catch up on series’ I’ve been neglecting, however, most of the series I’ve been neglecting got caught up on already, so instead I vow to start and /try/ to finish One Piece
Life
Life is not something I’m very familiar with, given most of my time is spent online and the heat and seclusion of being in this border town leaves me little else to do, I still vow to try to get out of the house more, perhaps to go see more movies, or just get out and be outside, because Gods know I probably need it. I’m not sure how good I’ll be at this, given the location and all, but I’m also hoping to find some kind of employment, because being an unemployed slackass loser has seriously begun to weigh on my conscience.
Health
Most of this has already begun, but I’m going to keep on top of it. I plan to, and am, drinking a lot less soda these days– it’s bad for you, but it’s tasty, so I still have it as a treat every now and again– mostly I drink kool-aid or lemonade in water… for some reason I still can’t get into the idea of just plain water, it just doesn’t quench me, and it’s weird because that’s one of the waters whole purposes, no? I also plan to get out more, as stated above, and try to be more active, keep myself healthy, and take better care of my teeth and hair (you know, after my current plan of bleaching it out and dying it pink– promise. :D)
Friends
I plan to be a better friend, to be there more for the people I love and care about, and be less antsy about meeting new people (even online). I vow to give people a chance, and actually let myself be out there a bit more, open to new connections and just getting to know people, because honestly, I feel like perhaps I’ve been neglecting the friends I already have in my life, and possibly missing up on some new ones because of my inability to focus or let myself be available.
Gaming
How I have neglected you in the past year or so, my love, I am sorry– I’ve been failing to remain focused on a single thing for more than a couple of minutes at a time, and while that might have been acceptable at one point, I plan to finish some series I’ve been putting off beating for a long while. I don’t know which yet, but I’ll find some games to play and finish before the summer is over.
Music
Ah, music… where would I be without you? Nowhere, I’d imagine, as you’ve saved my ass many a time from just jumping off some kind of bridge to my doom– depressing as that may sound, it has never happened because of the grace of music. This summer I plan to devour as much music as I can, find new tastes, and spread them around. I plan to once again become that girl who could recommend the perfect song for a person just by talking to them for a few minutes– I miss being that girl, and I miss how much music I used to listen to. I still live for music, but I plan to make it even more apparent.
——-
So far, that’s all I have. I realise it’s a piddly list and most people won’t even consider this life planning, or even self-improvement, but baby steps are what we need. What do you guys plan to do this summer? And on that note, care to pose any other subjects for me to respond to? If I get a few, I might make a part two of this, if not, we’ll just go with what we’ve got. 
At the end of the summer I’ll review all this and give myself an honest score– I worry about this because of my inability to have focus, but… everyone has to take a leap now and again.
