Let's face it, New Years Resolutions are pointless and a fad. It's something you feel you have to do but its essentially the ideas shelf that you don't want to tidy or to get rid of so you pick up something from it in a show of 'look I am giving it a go like I said I would last March.'
In this time people sneak other ideas on that shelf in the delusion that you will pick it up and think 'be more considerate' was your idea. I'm so considerate, I once asked how someone was instead of just walking away when our eyes met, after they had been yelling my name and waved me down for 5 minutes with blue flashing lights and annoyingly attention grabbing bullhorn.
Sometimes you know someone and know they will not even look at the idea shelf. They will build it up and up and its full of terrible ideas that wont help anyone, especially them. So you go for it and shoot straight, 'Why don't you f'iing sort your life out!' Thanks Mum, good talk.
Then you take out your frustration on others and stare them down and think 'Why don't you f'ing sort your life out!' because deflection means you no longer have those problems everyone points out.
Wait where am I going with this? Oh yeah, It's Willow week.
The poll this week - What New Years Resolution would you give Willow?
Hit The Gym - again, it's mandatory for every new years resolution list.
Try Out Sears Again - Fashions go in cycles, maybe Sears will come back into style.
Breathe - Death by asphyxiation lead to thoughts that doesn't assume babbling.
Reconnect with Family - Yam sham bonding and being Jewish. Really don't know much about her folks or extended family.
Try More Rebellious Fruit - Why stop at a banana? Why not a punnet of prunes before a three hour lecture.
Write More Frequent Diary Entries - What emotions do other breakfast foods have?
Learn A New Language - Expand that brain and prove herself better than Giles in the way she likes to do.
Take Five Minutes To Think About The Means - Instead of rushing into an idea because she has found the solution, let's take five minutes to think who she will be steamrolling over.
Anger Management - There's a lot of built up conflict inside her, work on finding a healthy way to channel and resolve those emotions.
Watch a Boxset - Sit down, pick a series, any series and let that brain shut off. You don't have the weight of the world on your shoulders, the fictional tiny people inside the picture box do.
Chess Goals - Learn new ways to beat Dawn at chess.
Magic Method - Take some time to learn and embrace the spiritual side of magic instead of purely the practical.
Forgive Xander - He's her best friend and the Barbie was a long time ago. It's not like she's Debbie Addams, no need for a murderous rampage.
Other - Cut down on caffeine, Don't be a dick, Grow out her hair, Join an amdram troop, There are so many to be had for Willow and these examples are being civil.
Hands down, take five minutes to think about the means. There's no denying that she has good, well intended plans in theory but add other people into the mix as people and not theoretical factors and her ideas are horrific.
She might be defiant and still go ahead with her plans but It would help her redeeming qualities if she made more effort to try and think of the effect on others that aren't positive from her ideas.
And I broke my resolution by googling how to spell asphyxiation. Not the first time this year. still got everyday to try though.
