What do you plan to do with 2009? My brief list is:

Over to you.

Anyone doing anything interesting for new year? I'm sticking with my 'sit on arse at home' strategem.

I predict 2009 will be the year of the electric car, linux will dominate on the desktop and Konix will finally launch the Multi-System.

KovacsC · **Posted:** Mon Dec 22, 2008 23:41

For me...

Loose weight and get fitter...
Pay off our credit cards.
Have our first born now at (29 weeks and counting)
Finish the garden off
Redeocrate the house.
and look forward to my first wedding anniversary

Plus I think the hydrogen cell will be beat the electric car.
Linux although great... open source will never go main stream, unless it can be locked down securly

Find a job
See my mother more*
Find somewhere to live thats cheap enough so I can have my cats
Learn to drive
Loose weight as I am a hefty beast now
Organise a reunion for all the Caslin side of the family (all like 5 or so of them) as times running out

New years-I have no idea. I did want to go out and do something and then return home and have a little bit of a tipple-naked twister and such like, y'know.

*Brought on by the fact my sister rang me not 20 minutes ago and said she is in hospital and cannot breathe properly-they are keeping her in for observation

myp · **Posted:** Tue Dec 23, 2008 0:39

Lose a stone
Get married
Go on holiday of a lifetime
Create something worthwhile; be it writing, art, music or whatever
Pick up my guitar properly for the first time in three years
Play less Xbox 360 and more other consoles (but less in general)

2010 will be all about fitting a new kitchen and then paying off debt. 2011 will probably be paying off debt.

Weirdly I have 2010 sorted and it's the same as you. Florida, but in March to see the Sebring 12hrs with some Florida and UK mates.

2009 I don't know yet.

Further Chinny predictions for 2009:

Hats will make a comeback
There will be an increase in terrible perms.
Craster to be replaced by an exact robot replica.

"Boogie, boogie, boogie", said Craster, yesterday.

Go fishing.
Alot.

Nemmie · **Joined:** 13th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 1643

Stop Smoking
Understand the complexities of the Female mind
Go to Charmouth and find lots of Fossils
Beat the computer on brutal in C&C Tiberium wars
Lose some more weight
Learn how to ice skate
Spend less time on my computer (this may prove tricky due to item four)
Delete my account from Facebook (I have gone cold turkey for three weeks so far)
Be excellent to as many people as possible

A couple of the items above may be impossible but it's nice to dream.

Kern · **Posted:** Tue Dec 23, 2008 8:56

- Sort out whole scary career thing (I seem to have picked the right time for it)
- Join more clubs
- Take over the world
- Find a better house

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38506

2009? Well now....

Finish Degree (finally)
Get proper kitchen installed (finally)
Have Honeymoon (finally)
Get to at least 2000 gamerpoints
Eat less junk (but still some, I'm realistic)
Use gym membership more
Have more sex ("What, MORE? You ANIMAL!")

Been there, done that, got the death certificate.

My goals for 2009:

* Carry on much as I am.

I'm such an unmotivated little shit. Paying off my credit card debts would be nice, but is unlikely now that my parents haven't sold their house (and are even more unlikely to now that the market's collapsed)

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue Dec 23, 2008 10:36

Spend as much time as possible with Baba & Mrs Z
Go on holiday
Remake my website
Paint more
Change car
RE5

2009 for me should be a pretty interesting year, and hopefully a damn sight happier than 2008 was...

- Become a father. 5 and a half months to go!!!

- Meet a new Lady Zio.
- Try not to get this new Lady Zio up the duff.
- Sort out my monstrous debts. I bring home fairly decent money now, so it's time to get this sorted.
- Sort out my chronic timekeeping problems. Hopefully coming off the happy pills soon will help with the morning drowsiness and me shifting my arse.
- Go somewhere nice on holiday, even if it has to be Cornwall or something.
- Hopefully start up writing again (but I say this every year).

Do you live round there? I used to live a couple of miles down the coast at Lyme Regis.

I'm also intending to get a new kitchen and pay down some debt. Maybe we should set up a sub-forum for those things.

Also:

Get fit!
Lose some weight!
Get a hobby so I'm not so bored! ( I'm thinking I might learn some electronics )

Sounds good, although no one would remember it was there and all talk of home improvements would be banished from the main forum.

You don't need to lose weight! Unless you mean all my congealed man fun clinging to your trousers.

Nope, unfortunately not but I would love to. I recently got into fossil collecting and that area as you probably know is nirvana for people like me.

I have only bought them on Ebay thus far but I am looking forward to the thrill of finding my own when I holiday there this year.

See, that's the thing - there's not one of my hobbies that I'd like to give up. What I'm planning on doing is instead creating 30-hour days.

Why not just give up on sleeping those few hours? It hardly seems worth bothering with.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

I thought about that - but then I figured that if I went from 4 hours of sleep to no hours of sleep, I would most likely break.

Just take a sleep pill rather than having a snooze.

Works for me and I'm better than ever.

We would have. If it wasn't for the fact that you've stated elsewhere that you're going to have a nap when you get home.

myp · **Posted:** Tue Dec 23, 2008 13:38

No, I said I'd play Worms if I had a nap. I'm fully expecting to stay up till about 8pm tonight, then conking out.

Ride the dragon toward the crimson eye
Flap the wings under Mars red sky
The reptile pushes itself out into space
Leaving behind, the human race

Swim inside the solar seas
The Nebula cries out to me
Passing where I've gone before
I fly through the crimson door

Ride the dragon toward the crimson eye
Flap the wings under Mars red sky

Hmm...

Do the full (or five of the six, which is what counts for points) season of the Toyota Sprint Series.
Visit the US again for some kind of motorsport viewing weekend (depending when stuff is on. Pocono or something like that).
Visit the US again (again) to compete in the Duryea hillclimb.
Do the JAE show.
Get out more I suppose.

* Drop the people from my life who are dead weight
* Get stuck right into my history course
* Take full advantage of my brilliant new job
* Meet lots of new people and become indispensible
* Enjoy being alive for once

Fun times! If all goes well, I'll be set for life by the end of this year. Score!
