The Best of Intentions

dreamcatchingsI don't do resolutions. I don't believe in them. I'm not a big fan of change to begin with and most resolutions seem to simply be made because then people can break them since people seem to be fond of the chance to break things.
I am, however, in favor of getting my money's worth out of things and not being ripped off, which is why I spent a good amount of my morning sitting here at work prior to when I start working debating about whether or not I need to be spending the $30 to up my paid LJ time and extra user icons. (I get into the same debate with myself over my X-Box Live Gold subscription as well, but I so do love watching Netflix Instant on my big new TV that I decided the $30 year card from Wal-Mart was a steal and totally worth it. Also I might play something online with someone someday. Or, if not, then at least it lets me spend more money downloading songs for Rock Band and Rock Band: Beatles. I am that sort of gamer.)
Eventually I did cave and put in my new debit card information into Livejournal so it can automatically bill me on the first of February (I do wish there was a way to stop so many of my bills from coming at the same time but alas I end up doing what I can to spread them out between my two paychecks). I made myself a caveat, though. I have to use the LJ more. I have to somehow manage to drive up some more interest in actively posting, adding icons, changing the style, etc. I have a year. If I haven't mustered more interest in the internet world in a year then I will drop something, likely the extra user pics.
I mean, at this point I have the LJ, the GJ, which I have a permanent account for because it was, like, $40 or something stupidly low and I couldn't say no, and the DW account. I barely post to anything (including the RP game that I'm supposed to be posting to because I begged and begged to see it come back and then promptly got sucked right back into my giant, swirling depression that pretty much keeps me from doing a lot of things I used to enjoy) so it's doesn't make much sense to keep tossing the money away. Anyway this got a lot longer than I had anticipated because once I stop writing, as always, I seem to not be able to stop. It's just making myself start that's so hard.
This is me once again stating my intention to be better.
