I'm under the impression that people make resolutions or goals or whatever for the upcoming new year. I'm already pretty happy with myself most of the time, but I'm here for trying anything once, so I could use some suggestions in this regard.

So, if you're taking part in such things, what resolutions might you be setting for yourself, if you're willing to share publicly, so I can shamelessly steal one?

ZOYA

What are the chances you will let me take you out for new year celebrations? If I might make a recommendation, I think the chances should be high, but don't let that sway your answer.

I have no resolutions to offer. But I do like the idea of stealing ones from others, less work.

There is an efficiency there that I feel needs to be appreciated in one way or another.

Why stop at stealing? For true efficiency, perhaps we should all just have the same resolution. I do not see the point, really.

Ah, now that's good thinking! The same apparently self betterment for all.

Does it have to be betterment? Could it just be stay alive? Continue to be yourself? A resolution that requires no conscious effort.

Valid point. You could also swing the other way -- why must it be better, truly? Can't I resolve to eat pizza every day? Because that would not be difficult.

Oh, I was under the impression it was some sort of self-reflection. If that is not the case then I resolve to continue my daily consumption of wine through the next year. There is simply too much emphasis on changing when I quite like the person I am most days

I am 95% sure it is actually for self-reflection, but I am willing to feign ignorance for this.

That is my usual choice when it comes to any type of holiday around here. Sometimes I do not even need to pretend. It is not as if we celebrated the year turning over in Tranavia.

There are so many celebrations here that we did not have in Ravka that I feel like we could use to liven things up a bit. If it weren't for the general consensus that we don't remember our time here if we're sent home, I'd swear to integrate them some. My country could use Halloween and Pride.

Swear a little less so the household swear jar quits making bank on me. The way this place throws things at us, I don't see that one much making it past the first week of January.

A lofty goal, perhaps, but worth a shot?

If I make it a week, it'll be the longest I've ever gone so I suppose there's some truth to that.

A week is pretty impressive, all things considered! So long as we can continue to curse internally, I think I could at least do a week.

Internal cussing is absolutely allowed or else I'm in trouble.

I'm liking this new hobby idea. I just have to now think of a new hobby, too.

Good luck with that. There's plenty out there to choose from.

So I've seen. I have a lot more time here than I did back home, too, so I have no excuse not to try.

Hm. I haven't done this in a very long time. The years start to blend together after a while. Perhaps I will eavesdrop less try a new hobby?

There's a good idea. It's nice and open ended, as well. Leaves wiggle room.

You'd think. But I've learned a great many. Maybe I can steal a hobby from you. What are your hobbies?

Lately it has been a whole lot of reading, combined with taking apart and putting back together the various appliances and technology in my apartment. Back home I did a lot more building and planning of things, but I had a lot more resources.

Ah. I leave the engineering and tinkering to much brighter minds than mine (i.e. my husband's).

It's a good way to occupy one's time, at the very least. What are your existing hobbies instead, then?

To be fair, I've done a lot of construction work over the years so I suppose that's my corner of the tinkering hobbies. I also like art collecting, learning new languages, piloting aircraft, and anything physically challenging.

Let's see seriously speaking now... have you not done anything this year that you meant to do?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]lantsov
2020-12-31 04:51 am UTC (link)
Well, going into this year, I had meant to do a whole lot more ruling of my country, but... here we are. I don't think that translates very well to a resolution, though.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Translate it to doing some ruling over your living space. Make changes, pick up your dirty clothes and clean up.

It's funny how this place observes none of the celebrations Ravka does, yet we somehow have more to celebrate here. You need to step up your holiday game when you return to your throne.

That being said, I could be persuaded.

You got it. It's up to you to remind me, though.

Ah, good. That is what I like to hear. Do you want to get fancy?
