~ New Year's Rave Party 2011 ~

[Maeve]

Welcome to my little "end of the year/ beginning of a new one" party!

*blows in vuvuzela of doom*

There's nothing really special to this thread. It's just a hangout, with a few contests and new-year flavoured stuff. The party will last a week, after which I'll simply lock the thread.

Feel free to chat, have fun, drink alcohol-free punch (I keep the alcohol for me ), dance and all that. Just remember to follow Midorea's rules and everything will be fine.

Oh, BTW, this is my personal event hangout thread, and has nothing to do with the rest of the staff. Also, if you have ideas for games and contests and/or would like to help me with some stuff, just PM me.

And now, let's PARTY!!!

*turns music on uber-loud, to annoy invite everyone in Midorea to join the party*

~ New Year's Resolutions ~

Yup, it's this time of year again, when you set goals for yourself. Of course, chances are you will have forgotten about them in February, so I figured it be nice to write them down here, so that other people can annoy you remind you and motivate you to reach your goal.

Basically, if you want to enter this, just post in the thread saying what you want to do or change for 2011. I'll then add it to the list below (that doesn't exist for now, but will once people start posting... hopefully XP). There's no real prize for this, but hopefully this can give you an extra-motivation to reach your goal, and maybe a chance to meet other people who have the same resolutions/can share tips and experiences with you.

I have several resolutions x.o 1) Quit an MMO I've been playing for ages. Long story short, the community has changed, and it's not one that I'm interested in being a part of any more, after being a volunteer helper for ages and having it thrown in my face. 2) Lose weight. I ate too many chocolate bars..... 3) Go out more. I'm slowly but surely going insane constantly being in my house, surrounded by the same old beige walls 83 I wish everyone the best of luck with theirs, as long as they aren't "Kill Kupsy" o.ob

And we are officially open!!!

So you can post now!

I'm still working on the games and contests, but they should be up this afternoon.

[Gladde]

I was looking around for this little event you mentioned would be set up in the Secret Santa forum. It is very kind of you to do this ^^

Happy Almost New Year!

I have a very simple resolution of (1) incorporating more exercise into my daily habits and (2) getting a job.

What about you?

[Maeve]

XP I figured I'd do something, since I don't have anything planned for New Year anyway (well, almost nothing, but a little diner with my family shouldn't take too long anyway).

Happy almost New Year to you too! Wish you lots of luck, love, health, and everything else! XD

Simple resolutions are the best. Well, at least they're usually easier to follow
I'd probably have said doing more exercises or trying to lose weight, but meh, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't do it so...
I don't really know. I'd like to draw and write more, and maybe do something related to that, but I'm still wondering what to do.

[Gladde]

Well, I know what type of exercise I want to do (yoga), but I have had a hard time specifically incorporating it in my day. I love to write and draw as well, which is sometimes the problem because I prioritize that over doing some form of exercise.

I like keeping it simple and general, because there are somethings that are out of your control, like getting a job.

I don't have much planned for tonight either. Probably be going to sleep early. I am trying to get back on a sleep schedule, which means waking up early so I can go to sleep early. I am so tired right now XD

[Maeve]

I don't really like exercises, so meh, I sorta easily find excuses to do other stuff orz
That's sorta my problem with the whole drawing/writing things too. I mean, I like it, but between school, real life, other things I need to do, I rarely have the energy to really do something (and by that I mean something else than a random doodle/short story which, although nice to relax, are not really helping me get better). So I'm kinda thinking of making myself some kind of schedule, 'cause I'm pretty sure I could do something if I have periods reserved just for it. Then again, maybe not, but it's worth trying.
So now I'm just trying to find a project/schedule that would work and have as many chances as possible of being a success.

Yeah, that's sorta why I'm keeping to things that mostly (like 99%) depend of myself. Knowing myself, if what I wanted mostly depended of someone else, I could use that as an excuse for not doing/not getting what I wanted. XP

Bah, my sleeping schedule is boring. Like, I need sleep (and I mean really need sleep) at around 10PM, and wake up around 8AM. Boring, eh? And my brain just too used to it to allow me anything else.

[Sly]

Yay!! Cool thread!! PARTAYY!! XDD;; Hmm...I can't make an awesome rave avatar until I get more silver....buuut anyway.

Now, as for resolutions: Uuum...I plan to:

1.) Procrastinate much less on housework/schoolwork...and just things that need to be done in general. Yeah, I see this going well already. Not.

2.) Exersize more and eat healthier. Oh, this'll go even better than the last goal. Not.

I'm sure I might have more, but meh...I can't think of any right now so there ya go.

Oh, and as for my plans for the New Year: I will be closing at work both tonight and tommorow night. OTL and FML.

[Maeve]

Just post more! It'll give you nice shiny silver!

See, I'd have taken the same resolution as you, but meh, I feel like taking some I'll actually follow this time

[Sly]

But I dooo plan on following them. D:

Oh, also, I resolve to write something every day...just for me. I love to write, and often times find myself too busy to do so...so I'm gonna make time every day to sit down and write something.

Oh and yay!! Silversilversilver!!

[Maeve]

Sorry for disappearing, grandma suddenly arrived at my home and all that... Yay for unexpected visit! XP

The shocked smiley made me loled XD

And good for you!
I'm pretty sure I would not follow them myself, since it's kinda what I tried last year, and the year before, and probably 2 years ago too...
But I can try to motivate you by poking you until you cry succeed! *gets ready for poking time*

[Reika]

Hurrah ! Happeh New Year !! 8DDD

Ew, resolutions. I never can keep those, but i'll still make one; graduate high school xD Now that should be easy enough to achieve.
