things to work towards in the next year

Mandarin lessons, because of Uncle Bill's Send A Programmer And His Wife (In A Beautiful Pea Green Boat) To China Program™ and because I have to go to Hong Kong before I die
Japanese lessons, because flights to Tokyo are comparatively cheap and I need to see the Shrine For Electronics, and because Japan is just generally cool
Hang the damn curtains because I am full of hate for windowblinds.
Get rid of sofa and procure desk for Programmer.
Attempt to fix credit (eventual goal: buy condo slash loft)
Attempt to find actual effective pain management regimen
Send child to sleepaway camp (eventual goal: continued sanity and real sleep)
Get actual passport and actual green card
Make lots of words happen. Make them good words. Make some of the words go places outside own circle. Lather, rinse, repeat. Getting money for words would be kind of awesome if possible.
Take another vacation.
Regain stamina.
Attempt to turn Pit Of Junk In Corner into actual, usable desk.
Get tattoo.


Make stick in head: I am not going to wake up one morning and be a one dimensional shell of a human being just because I happen to have a child and because I happen to have a vocation that is generally done at home. No matter how much I am terrified of this prospect. I do not need to stick 'probably' anywhere in this first sentence.
Make stick in head: If I spend time doing other things, it's actually easier to make words happen.

hey world

So, erm, yeah, I have the same username on InsaneJournal as I do here. If'n you're over there too, say hi, okay? I'm not leaving yet, and when I do it'll likely involve things like Wordpress crossposting from my actual blog that I don't have yet: but yeah, sometime in the past seven days I kind of decided I'd had enough of the upper management drama. *sigh*
