The Diary of Mishalak

[mishalak]

Alcohol Units: 2 (in orange juice)
Food: Not enough. Turkey left overs, milk, OJ, cheeze, crackers, two sandwiches, and a handfull of carrots. I don't know how many calories that is and I'm not going to work it out.

I didn't care for this past year and none of the ones in the future are going to be any better. Unless I do something about it. So for the first time ever I'm making some resolutions.

1. I will not get myself into uncomfortable situations by double-thinking myself into going places I didn't want to go in the first place. Nor will I go places that make me unhappy just to make someone else happy. For example:
a. conventions
b. large parties
c. opening night movies

2. I'm not going to hang out with men who's only interest in me is my ass and/or cock. I also will no longer going to, against my better judgment, give men I can tell this is true of a chance to show that he is not a shallow cad. When I go against the sinking feeling in my stomach I'm invariably disappointed. Related to this I will no longer hang out in the places where they congregate:
a. bars
b. clubs
c. gay.com

3. In the coming year I will drive much less. In fact if I can I will sell my car. Even if I don't get rid of the beast I'm going to refuse to go anywhere unless I'm either given a ride, can ride the bus, or it really is necessary. Brunch, parties, movies, and jaunts down to pick up one thing from the store do not count as necessary.

4. Less time on the internet. It is the intellectual equivalent of eating cheese-whiz from the bottle and can't be good for me. Though writing on my computer, even if it is for my journal, does not count as being online.

5. More exercise. Just generally. Until I actually start to feel somewhat healthy. Sit ups in the morning and a bike ride any day it is not totally insane to do so.

Sounds like good ideas all around. The internet really can be a time sink...
