The Rest of My New Year's Resolutions

Okay, I found the rest of My New Year's Resolutions. Here are Resolutions 4 through 9 (I was wrong about there being 10):

4) Make decisions on my own, don't waffle or rely on others to decide for me. Stick to the decision.

5) Respect myself more. Much more.

6) Read more books, especially fiction, watch less TV and spend less time on the computer.

7) Do things that challenge my comfort zone and/or that are scary. If nothing else, find one new thing this year, keep at it, and see how much mastery I've gained by the end of the year (some ideas: learning to play the drums, taking Tae Kwon Do, learning enough French to hold a basic conversation, like, say, with the subway police officer (Nazi) who stopped me in the Metro once for not having my picture glued to my Carte Orange...yeah, learn enough French to be able to tell her to fuck off, and then ask for a lawyer when I get arrested).

8) Plan. Then stick to the plan.

9) Drastically reduce my alchohol consumption (see, told you it was on the list!).

Hi my dear friend, I hope you learn enough French so that we don't have to just speak Spanish. See you later, have a nice day! (I can comprehend it much better than I can speak it).

I'm learning Spanish. Don't abandon me!!!

Now all we need to add is German, do either of you speak German? And Mike, when are going to start teaching Swedish lessons?

I am NOT a fan of german. failed it for 2 years straight in school.
plus, i like nothing about germans in sports, the language sounds ugly, and they typically have no sense of humor, and are very rigid people.
pass.

jag tanker inte visa dig mycket svenska. Det ar alldelles for svart. (missing a few rings and dots on some of the vowels)
