Happy New Half Year!

elvenpirateladyWe're halfway through the year! Six months, 182 days and however many hours have passed since 2008 officially began, but it's at this time of year that I find myself lagging. Australia is currently in the depths of winter, which is a normal part of every year and I do enjoy the season, but the Winter Solstice was at least a week ago and it's still cold and dark in the mornings*.
*Not that I'd know myself, arising as I do at around 9.30. But I have reliable witnesses.
So! In any case, I present the holiday of New Half Year - an excuse to have a drink or partake of your favourite food, and congratulate yourself on surviving half of 2008 without being killed/kicked out of school or uni/fired/attacked by sentient alien mushrooms with death rays. And there are New Half Year Resolutions if you so desire - the ones I've drawn up are more like resolutionettes, but I intend to stick by them.
Resolutionettes - life
1. Eat at least one piece of fresh fruit every day.
2. Go for a walk every day.
3. Obtain paid employment.
4. Practice driving once a week.
5. Pass all of my subjects this semester.
6. Be more adventurous.
7. Find a good tree to climb, and climb it.
8. Complete my50bookchallenge list.
Resolutionettes - fandom
1. Finish50lyricsfanfic already.
2. Do not join any more fanfic challenge communities until the ones I currently have are finished.
3. Review everything I read.
4. Write more PPC missions.
5. Write down plotbunnies instead of trying to keep them all organised in my head.
6. Practice the 'write first, edit later' method of ficcing because that seems to be faster.
7. Find an icon-making program, because Paint is inadequate.
These are my resolutionettes, and I resolve to stick by them until the year ends/all of them are completed, whatever happens first. If I fail in my quest, I will go and revise Latin noun declensions in penance.
Happy New Half Year!
