Well, I guess this was inevitable so let's get started. Me, well I have a few things to get through the door here regarding both offline and online life so let's get personal, shall we?

Offline, IRL

-Become a better Artist: My doodles have been praised before left and right but I never look at them and get that "wow I made that" feel from my stuff. Only a recent picture I made has made me muster that result due to the style I achieved in the drawing. Until I can push these drawing out faster and more effectively, they will always be doodles to me.

-Get a better paying job: Retail is tiring, pays little and when you are a guy, they expect a lot more than just ringing at a register. I'd have no issue with this if they offered raises where I work but that'd be convenient.

-Do more things daily: the above mentioned job really takes a lot of energy out of you. For me, recently it's been- Work, sleep, video games, PC, sleep, repeat. It's something I need to work on.

-Spend less on Video Games: Gaming is expensive. I don't see this one happening but yeah.

Online

-Be more active on this forum: as a MEMBER and less of an authority figure. I need to post more and get to know some members here. The community needs to expand.

-More Artwork in Gallery: Does anybody use the gallery anymore? It's pretty neat.

-Online games with Members: FITE ME IRL! or at least in Smash, Mario Kart, or maybe go on a hunt in Monster Hunter.

-Join more online communities: I've only ever been a part of this "series" of forums actively, and before then the only site I used much was "Gametalk" which has since seen its end. I have joined other sites only to never return to them. DSU, N3DSC, and our current version of the site are the only community sites I really take part in.

And I guess that about covers the jist of it for me. Let's hear some of yours. Oh, and while I'm here I'll take the time to thank everyone who has been a part of this website (or the ones before it) whether you are a new or old member. It's interesting how I kinda got to watch some of you grow up, so to speak (at least if you have been a member since the DSU days). I've made (and lost) some very interesting friends here. Here's hoping for another year of interesting and mindless rants, arguments, discussions and shoutbox spam wars. Have a Happy New Year, everyone.

One of my resolutions IRL will be to attend the Pokemon World Championships (if in the US) this year if all goes well for me and Jorlon.

As far as gaming I'd like to spread out into more genres, obtain more games and systems, and game more as possible.

I have a very short list this year :p

One last IRLresolution is to finish all my unread manga lol ?
 
My friend and I will me making our New Years resolution video, but I won't share it so I'll get to the meat.

IRL goals:
Finish and release book.
Win a round of Smash at the convention I go to.
Cut down on soda.
Do more with my writing. I'm writing a book, sure, but I want to expand, explore... Like that Mario fiction contest.



Online:
Finish my Let's Play of Pokemon Fire Red.
Do one blog a month.
Play with you guys more.
Make some kind of online guild/s. I won't say more in case this doesn't happen.

That's all I have now. Maybe I'll come up with more.

This is a big year for me, irl. I'll be leaving home one way or another, hopefully to go to university. So I guess my main girl resolution is to do a decent amount of work to get me where I want to go.

As for online, I wanna start posting here more regularly. I come here most days but I don't post nearly as much as I used to and let's face it, this places needs the activity. So I hope to see you guys around even more with my planned increasage (yes it is a word shut up) of posting.
 
I only really have two goals this year that are big enough to call 'resolutions'... I need to lose some weight, and I plan on continuing to improve my artwork. I made some big strides with my art this last year, and that must continue!

If you mean the gallery feature on this site, I use it to post the artwork I put up on here, that way I link to is easy!

Use my blog more often/be more active both here and on my other forum.
 
My resolutions? Well, none in real life. I really don't see a lot of things I could resolve to 'improve' that I wouldn't do without making the resolution in the first place.

Online? To become more active on sites like this, and make this site a success again. That means actually contributing more content, changing the site software and taking a bigger role in the community itself, before this place fades away altogether...
