"New Years Blog (5th annual)
I have resolved to not fall in love anymore. I simply neither have the time nor patience to lie on my floor grasping my chest out of love pangs. All the energy that goes into my previous devotions will be spent otherwise on education, art, and books, (for all creative purposes, not art for the sake of love.)
Purify, as intangibly as possible. Deeds will be done because of pure motivation, and solely for that singular motivation. No ulterior motives, manipulation, or hiding the truth. Blunt. White. Pure.
Depress less. Smile more.
Quit cutting my hair.
Drink more water.
Be taken seriously. (Always a resolution of mine).
Look better in pictures.
Be pleasantly surprised (also always a resolution of mine. Though this time it will not involve love).
Pay dues to my idols. Someway, somehow, I am going to do something about my heroes.
twitter, cats, the color yellow, skirts and dresses, kissing, my friends, watercolors, sockeye salmon, George, resale stores, scented candles, my bed, mythology class, all the trips, strangers, when people stop being strangers.

Ali's Good Things of 2009:
twitter, cats, the color yellow, skirts and dresses, kissing, my friends, watercolors, sockeye salmon, George, resale stores, scented candles, my bed, mythology class, all the trips, strangers, when people stop being strangers.
Ali's Things that can go to hell in 2009:
24 hour celebrity death coverage on television, sex, mononucleosis, breakups, hookups, myspace, REL 110, commuting, people moving away, liars, death, navy blue."
And here's the results. Well, we can all ignore the first one. Clearly. See: the last, I don't know, 12 entries. -10
I didn't do much lying. No scheming. There have been a few moments I can't really let slide, but I'm human. +1, -2
I'd say I spent 2010 exactly 50% happy and 50%depressed. It is better than 49-51. +5
Hair is doing good. I may finally have long blond hair. +5
Yikes, I kind of forgot about the water thing. I do take vitamins regularly though. I am proud of myself for that. +0
I wasn't exactly taken seriously more, per se, but I did sort out and give the boot to the people who don't take me seriously. Or I yelled at them. +3, -2
I was pleasantly surprised this year. I have met some wonderful people, and have had wonderful and unexpected moments. +1
I am still working on paying dues. +x
1+x. Cool. Well, it's a positive slope at the very least.
Now for this year.
Graduate. It's not reaaaallly in question, but I want to so badly.
Take more risks. (not life threatening ones.)
Treasure dignity, and quit misplacing it.
Become the most popular girl in school. Just kidding. But I wish.
Successful show.
Keep on with the honesty, pleasant surprises, and water drinking.
I think that's good enough.
2010 hits-eBay, watercolors, micron pens, 70's R&b, black eyeliner, graphite, teeth, sculpture, best friends, moments that mimic movies, Harry Potter, Voldemort, action films, recycling, yellow blue, lingerie, youtube, yahoo! answers, falafel, emoticons.
2010 misses- Avatar, Amazon, oil painting, facebook, networking, geodesic domes, statistics class, crackheads, being "in a relationship", pizza (:(), boots, me writing blogs that aren't poems, emoticons.
