New years resolutions... Do you make them? Do you not? Do you keep them or forget about them a few months into the year?

I don't generally make them. Also, taking suggestions for movies to watch during late night insomnia bouts.

I love the idea of resolutions! Self-improvement can happen any time of year, though. I suppose they're more fun when you involve dancing and festive drinking, however.

It absolutely can. I think a lot of people like the idea of resolutions, but find it hard to follow through. I've know few who actually do. Resolutions involve dancing and festive drinking?? Have I been doing it wrong? Or do you mean making them during the holidays?

Making them during the holidays, yes. No one's going to go through a horrible famine and go "I think I need to be improved"; it's only after wanton revelry that restraint starts to sound like an ideal path.

For what it's worth most of my resolutions are silly things about keeping a private journal and dreaming of benchpressing my friends. Any reason why you don't bother with them outside the general likelihood of not keeping to them?

What's restraint? Heh I suppose that's true. Though I would think after going through something bad is when one would want to make change or improvement.

A private journal? Do you like writing? Or having a place to pour your soul and secrets into? Maybe I feel like I don't/didn't have the time. Back home life was never dull. I'm just as flawed as the next person. I'm sure I could use some improvement in areas.

I suppose it depends upon the person! Sadly I'm not grand at giving up things I like, but more power to those of us who are.

I do like writing, but I'm not in the habit of it. Too all over the place. I don't think there's anything wrong with not making resolutions, mind, I was just curious. I do feel sorry for those of us who set their standards so high and fall short. Very discouraging.

I don't care for action, rom coms (mostly) and comedy. Other than that I'm open to just about anything. The last two movies I watched were As Above, So Below and Joker. I enjoyed both greatly.

That's the one with Leo DiCaprio, right? If so I have heard good things about it. I'll have to check it out.

I like the idea of them, but more vague goals, and I don't stick to any deadlines.

Just in general, say here I'd like to see myself branch out more here and start treating this as my new home. Or I'd like to see myself learn a new skill.

[info]magicianeliot

That's a good way of going about them. I think that's what many do throughout the year when it comes to goals/improvement.

Those are great resolutions. I can relate to the first one. What sort of skill would you like to learn?

Sometimes the year really does get away from you. You mean to do them, but life has a way of throwing curveballs and your attention just goes elsewhere.

I'd like to be a little more independent, I admit I rely on my friends a lot, especially back home. Though I don't know how much of that is an actual skill. I'd like to find more ways to be active, maybe learn self-defense without using magic.

[info]magicianeliot

Yes, it does. It really does. I'm well acquainted with life throwing curve balls.

They don't have to be skills. I think many aren't. Great resolutions. I think someone had posted about self-defense classes sometime. If my memory serves me correctly. Or you can always ask or look up classes.

I don't usually make them. They never seemed very important back home. Or at least not in the society I grew up in.

There's plenty of Bollywood if you like it? I don't watch too many of the ones my face is in because it's sort of uncomfortable watching yourself. But I don't know very many Muggle films either.

Yes, I'm open to Bollywood. I'm not sure I've ever seen one. But I'd been the one watching and I wouldn't mind. ;) So recommend away.

I am mostly focused on becoming better at more complex potions, but that is a general life goal.

I liked What's Your Rashee. It was fun. Khoobsurat, too. The actress that looks like me is Alia Bhatt. I don't know how her movies are.

Good luck with that. I think a lot of people do general goals through the year. We make resolutions in January then mostly forget about them.

Thank you. I'll check those out.

New Years is a new holiday for me. And I made an ass out of myself already so I don't What are the point of resolutions in this instance? Are they just things you want to do?

The point is generally changes and/or improvements one wants to make. Everything from eating healthier, saving more money, working out more, quitting smoking (or other bad habits), taking more time for yourself, etc. Really they can be anything you want them to be.

Ah. That seems reasonable. There's a few things I could probably think of, but I'll think on it a little more.

I can send a list of things I watched when I was on bedrest after I showed up. I wasn't allowed to do much since I'd been run through with a blade prior to my arrival and nearly died. Most of the shows seemed very dramatic and a couple people died and came back later?

Oooh sorry to hear that. Good know you mended. A list would be appreciated. Wait. Are you talking about soap operas?? If so, then no thanks. lol I don't do soap operas.
