I just realized how ambitious my writing goal is O_O

I think yours is fine I just was being cautious by setting a low-ish goal

Dude I literally thought about 480,000 words but I changed it xDD

Haha that's definitely a lot! But it's good to set your standards high sometimes

Yeah. :P

I feel like most of these aren't very ambitious.........

If I did the 'to bake/cook' thing, I would have set it to five XDD

Yeah... I probably should have lowered it a bit. Oh well. At least now I can start because it's past midnight. Although I won't start cooking now...

I guess I could start writing

Happy New Years! I'm two hours, fifty four minutes shy, but yeah ;P

Thanks :)

*hangs head in shame*
*drops quarter in jar*

25 cents for complaining about how many resolutions I had to follow through with

XD I should do that.

Can I do that? xD

Sure. If you'd like.

Presenting my new resolution:

Sharing more.

xD

Does complaining in my head count as complaining?

Because if it does I'm going to lose a lot of imaginary money

XDDD

If it counts I just lost 25 more cents... For now I won't count it. I'd go broke if I counted complaints in my head

If I did what you're doing with cursing/swearing, I'd lose a lot of imaginary money, too.

xD I don't swear a lot but I don't think it's a huge deal if I do

This is a cool idea :0

Thanks :)

I swear a lot. Like, a lot. I tried going a day without cursing and I lasted only thirty minutes. -_-

I almost complained again.... -_- luckily I didn't.

And of course that's complaining about almost complaining so I guess 25 more cents.

LOL

Shared a few ideas with someone so up 1 for the share factor

Gosh I think I need another jar for pessimistic moments...

*sighs* I don't care if I have to pay another 25 cents but I'm kind of annoyed because I know I can't use the same person 15 times for the speaking outside of my comfort zone one even though I feel uncomfortable whenever I talk to the person…

*puts 25 cents in jar*

I swear a lot. Like, a lot. I tried going a day without cursing and I l..."

I don't swear tons.. But sometimes it's necessary xD I only swear maybe 3 times a day, 200 in my head xD

Another goal: work on self-esteem/confidence. I have next to none.

I guess this is pretty darn ambitious but I am going to try to come up with something ever single day that I like about myself. It can be pretty much anything. It just can't be the same every day. I'll start when I wake up and its officially 2015 everywhere.

I think I owe the jar another $1.25 already

____UPDATE____

$1.25 worth of complaints (5 complaints)
415 words written
1 thing I like about myself added to imaginary list

haven't even started doing anything yet.
Lazy child. xD
DX This was one of my resolutions. I need to stop being lazy!!! Blehhh

I think I already failed like half of these...
