By the end of 2011, I hope to...

  • Be more than 90% done with my Associate of Arts degree.
  • Convince the school board/principle to let me and a couple friends take Calculus II as a class instead of independent study
  • Make some more friends, including female ones.
  • Find a way to pay for college for the four years after high school. Scholarships, a job, etc.

Learning how to be a better Dungeon Master would be cool too, but not really a resolution of this caliber.

Hmm...

  • Get straight A's over the next year
  • Fix my "issues" with linear algebra
  • Read through all of at least one of the manga series I own
  • Learn how to sew at least a little
  • Learn to cook enough that I stop making myself sick
  • Manage to get proficient enough in mathematics that I don't have to sleep absurd hours if I've only been working 12-14 hour days

Yup, that's it.  Not too bad.

You can strike the last one off that list, because the previous leader just stepped down in the Tack fan club- so the position is available for as long as it takes for the rest of the naive little bunch to declare a winner.

But I'd be happy to give you precedence.

But it's already happened, you stepped down as the leader of your own fan club :P

I'm a bit OCD but I usually think the opposite. Odd years seem especially good, while even ones are less so.

Already been diagnosed with AS, so if I had it it'd probably just be shoveled under that umbrella.

I was being somewhat flippant, as I used to believe odd-numbered years were the bad ones and even-numbered years good ones, and then I realized that this is because I'm kind of obsessed with prime numbers (which are usually odd) so I ascribe most significant events to prime-numbered years automatically (and no, not just because of the large law of small numbers).  This means that when I drew a graph of good years versus bad years I wound up with good years even and bad years odd (hell, I just dislike odd numbers that aren't prime in general, I don't know why), which led me to think that this was actually some kind of pattern rather than an idiosyncratic expression of my own peculiar obsessions.

Then I grew up a little bit more and realized that the good and the bad were similar enough that I couldn't really ascribe any sort of pattern to what I had perceived, as a "good year" isn't really good unless it leads to good things, and most of my good years were marked as "good" due to happiness at a situation which rapidly became bad, and then only became good due to slowly developing maturity.

Also, 2010 was kind of the Ultimate Terrible Year, so that broke the pattern.

tl;dr I think my real problem is that I think too much about things that don't matter.
