New Year's Resolutions

I've become quite reclusive over the past few years. Went 18 months without going to a nightclub and 6 months without going to a pub (and only turned 23 two weeks ago).
So this year I'm going to try and get out more. And if that means leaving the comfort of the couch and going to the pub more often for the odd sociable pint, well then I guess that's a sacrifice I'm just going to have to make!
I've been like this myself quite a lot recently and found that I wasn't particularly happy about it either. It was weird, I'd sort of not want to go out but then feel a bit down that I did nothing over the weekend.
Anyway it's good to nip it in the bud. I hadn't been out for months and then went to see Noel Gallagher in the Olympia. I was so used to staying in I was considering cancelling and not going but I made myself go and it was good fun.
That gave me the going out bug again and I've been out a few times since.
Stick at it.0 -
At Tax how about volunteering, another poster said it's something they want to do! I'm a scout leader and I love it, gives you a sense of giving back
I work with students free a lot. Myself and the girlfriends all study Capoeira so I teach some of it on free to some of the students who cant afford to be paying for classes. I do the same with some of the meditation techniques I have explored. And when able I give grinds to students in Subjects I am proficient at. All free.
So whatever I think of, more volunteering is not going to be it I think.0 -

My 2011 resolution was to do a really good deed one per month and I did that. That was inspired by December 2010 when I felt really good about myself for taking 4 random people stranded by snow in Dublin airport...
Did something similar, flying back into Dublin, got diverted to Shannon. A few people, Slovaks, on the plane who didn't speak English didn't know what was going on. Managed to get another girl on the plane who spoke Slovak to translate everything for them. When we got the bus provided by the airline back to Dublin, I ended up driving the lot to various parts of Dublin as no taxis were running.
Really felt good after it all
I think Irish people lost that friendliness when all the money came into the country.. Such a pity really as we were known around the world for being a welcoming friendly and helpful country.

I half considered making 2012 all about me and me alone. Alas having a 16/17 month old baby usually makes such things nigh impossible hehehe.ToxicPaddy wrote: »Really felt good after it all
Well done you. I mentioned having done so on a few forums, including on here and I did not find anyone else who had done the same as me.
Yet the images all over the news were of an airport full of people who not only would not make it home that Xmas day to their family but had to sit and look at the walls in Dublin Airport for it instead.
I couldn't stop myself jumping in the car and going off and filling the car with the first people I found which were a couple of funny vodka crazed russians and a couple of terminally beautiful french girls (most of my mates having seen pictures of our xmas afterwards were not pleased that I did not inform them of the presence of such beauties hehehe).
I was all geared up to do the same this year but no snow arrived.0 -
Learn to drive.. before I'm 30. I encourage people to annoy me about this. Thanks!
I've been saying this since I was 17....even on my second provisional
To volunteer somewhere. Been meaning to do it for a while and kept putting it on the long finger. Now, i just gotta find somewhere to volunteer!
Ooooooh find yer nearest animal shelter walk the doggies-good for them and good for your health double awesomeness :cool:
My resolutions are also to get my life out of the poo poo hole it's currently in. Started the process just have to keep staying in the motivated mind frame....which can be difficult but well worth it in the end.

- Eat properly.
- Learn to cook, not just for myself.
- Clean myself up: shave, keep hair neat and tidy.
- Be a bit more assertive, and have a bit more self-confidence in myself.
- Dress properly.
- Go to Germany, meet up again with this girl that I like, and take her out on a date.
I think it's traditional for new year's resolutions to fall at the first hurdle, but I've got a good feeling about this year. 0 -

I can attest to that, you will regret it! I'm 35 and about 15 years between night club visits, and apart from a couple of work do's, about 10 for just going to the pub:eek: (although I didn't drink for about 8 of them so ...)
My resolution, go out a lot more, meet people.
You coming to the boards beers?0 -

You can go anywhere once you can drive (within reason)
I went through 6 provisional licences before I passed - was driving in work about 300 miles a week, to many bad habits
Thought you could only get 2 provisionals? Reason I ask is that I've had two but never drove on the second one, so sucks if I can't get another. Good if I can...0 -

You are allowed 2, then you have to take a test. Even if, like me you did no lessons, so were sure to fail. But once you get a letter from the test centre, you can get a third.
That's how I managed 5 fails, no lessons. The last one, I did 2 and it was like a drive to the shops 0 -

Kind of silly that I'd have to do a test even though I haven't sat into the driver seat in 12 years and that was on a first provisional. I'd fail before getting out of the test center.0 -
I actually have a CD that stops you from procrastinating!Dravokivich wrote: »Cut out procastinating (maybe this should be first :pac: )
Have to listen to it much, though
I'm actually unsure of how long you must listen to it before it takes effect, but yeah, never really listened to it.
Um, probably loose the belly, and gain some muscle.0 -

Damn right, I couldn't survive without my car.
I used to think the same, then I bought my motorbike.
Having the choice is awesome!
On a more serious note though, once you get used to the freedom of driving, being able to go where you want to go whenever it suits you, there's no going back.0 -

First lesson went well. S'all paperwork to begin with, though! Have to keep a logbook for the mandatory 12 lessons. Moderator: Television, Psychology and Dublin County North.
