2006 is going to have to be brilliant. Sorry for the pressure, but... it's true.
Although I have not updated to say it before, I hope quite sincerely that you all had a positively fabulous [whatever it is that you celebrated].
Fun Fact!: *psss* Hey you! Collectively, all the members of my family together got at least 90 hours of TV shows or movies on DVD for Christmas! Let the frantic potato couching begin!
~~~The New Year's cheese begins:~~~
So last year, on New Year's Eve, I wrote all my new year resolutions on this cute pink piece of paper, with a cute, milky, fluffy little pen, and I folded it up REALLY small into those cool-shaped things that we used to do to our notes during middleschool when we were lame (*snort* some people never change...), and I said I could not look at them again until New Year's Eve of the next year. I even wrote it on the paper. It says "OPEN: 12/31/05"
Yes, I'm completely homosexual. But you know, what can I do?
Well, I know it's not quite New Year's Eve yet, but I figured, I should open it now so I can let you all know what a failure I've been this year (don't worry, the truly embarassing things will be censored out for my semi-dignity preservation), and also so I can give myself a little time to think up new resolutions by the time the thirty-first comes. I mean, if you've ever tried it, these resolution things are not easy to create.
So it begins...
Rackle's 2005 New Year's Resolutions
with commentary
1. Stop picking skin. This is the only one I actually remembered putting down. After all, it's been on my New Year's Resolutions list since the second grade. And, whaddya know, it still can't be crossed off! ...At least I have an item for next year!
2. Stop procrastinating so much. *snort* Sha right.
3. Stop judging and hating people. Ah yes, *chuckle* this is a good one. I have the tendency of walking into, say, a new school orientation, or a classroom, or a movie theater, and automatically deciding who I hate and who I don't hate. Based completely on appearance. It's an interesting practice, and I find I am most often wrong in my determinations. I guess I still do it a little. Damn.
4. Stop being mean and sarcastic. Blast! I thought the being a bitch thing had only developed when I became a sophomore! But it has been in place since the ninth grade?! GREAT.
5. Stop cheating on Spider Solitaire. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Luckily, Spider Solitaire and I got into a huge fight. I don't even play it anymore.
6. Read more. Ummm I guess? I guess.
7. Exercise more. I had not foreseen Kirn's delightful step classes. In fact, I think I did get sort of in shape from those things, because in the beginning of the school year, even if I didn't try at all I'd still get a little sweaty and tired, but then, by the last month, I wasn't trying and I stayed COMPLETELY sweatless. It was great. I thought maybe I'd become more skillful at deceiving Kirn, but it might just have been that weeks and weeks of jumping up and down on steps actually did me good.
December 31st: How did I do?
...Freshman Raquel would be crushed.
I wish you all more... existing success than mine, and happy early New Year!

P.S. This was also the year that my mother decided, "To hell with Hanukkah!" We lit candles the first sunset, but then the second night madre put the menorah in the dishwasher and I was all, "Dude man, we need that," and she's like, "No we don't!" and I'm like, "What are you talking about?" and then I realized that she was serious and I started freaking out, even though the night before I had been all, "We're not even Jewish!" (I had ONLY been so disagreeable because I was busy watching some TV show and simply could not be pulled away for singing).
I was quite sad to drop the tradition. It's true, we're not Jewish at all anymore. But it was still tradition. *cue Fiddler on the Roof soundtrack* :o(
P.P.S. Fun Fact: Quote of the Year!
