You know...I really don't get people sometimes. I was in the store earlier buying some ice cream, and these ladies in the freezer section were talking about how they were "totally breaking their new year's resolutions" by buying their fudge ripple.

Except new year's just happened. It hasn't even been two weeks! I didn't even know that was something people were supposed to do…does everyone make a resolutuion? Is that normal? I never thought about it. I guess this is the second year I've had the chance to make one, but I wasn't thinking about that kind of thing last year.

Seems early enough I could still make one, but if everyone just breaks them, I'm not going t bother.

I'm afraid breaking them is the point.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

Why?

[a-parting-word.livejournal.com]

If it were a true promise, you wouldn't have to resolve to it. You'd do it without the words.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

I'm not talking about regular promises. Those are different.

By not buying-

[ p a u s e ]

What kind of resolution even is that?!

[ 8( seriously ....why would you resolve to NOT buy the fudge ripple.....n o.... ]

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

I think they meant all ice cream.

That's even worse.

[faroffdream.livejournal.com]

If you make one, yours'll be a lot better.

[ HE'S SURE OF IT mostly because a resolution to not buy ice cream is......... B( ]

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

[That's a resolution to have a terrible year is what it is.]

I'd have too. Dunno if I will, though.

What about you?

Are you everyone, now?

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

I really hope not.

[signatures]

So make and keep it for yourself.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

I'm not even sure what I'd want to resolve to do.

[wouldnotkindly]

I don't know about everyone... I thought the whole point was to keep it for the entire year.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

That's what I thought! Less than two weeks makes it seem like they weren't even trying.

[wouldnotkindly]

[Jack snorts.] Maybe they weren't serious enough about it.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

Must not have been. Though...I wouldn't want to give up ice cream for a year either. But I wouldn't have resolved not to have it!

[aettir.livejournal.com]

Is this the Christmas thing again?

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

No, it's the me trying to figure out what girls are thinking thing. For the first time.

[aettir.livejournal.com]

Pretty sure they were just thinking, "fudge ripple is awesome."

[leathered]

Seems like the thing to do is to make a resolution so big that you don't dare break it.

Never really held with them myself, really. Not for a new year, anyway. New year by whose count?

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

That seems like a lot of pressure, though.

Uh...the City's?

[leathered]

That's the idea. It provides motivation.

Sure, but why use theirs? How many people, do you think, count their years like they do here? Or left in summer and arrived in winter?

[100yearsgone.livejournal.com]

I've never made a new year's resolution before. Maybe it's one of those American things, like Thanksgiving. I don't know.

[binarysky.livejournal.com]

I never did Thanksgiving, either. At least there was a lot of food for that one.

[100yearsgone.livejournal.com]

It seems like a lot of people are from that place. I wonder if this world--this city, has any of it's own holidays.
