Title: New Year's Resolutions/Predictions/Shout-outs/etc.
Post by: MagmarFire on December 31, 2007, 06:13:16 PM
Since we can't really have a countdown due to time zone differences, I figured that we should have just a resolutions and predictions topic for 2008 anyway. Just give a statement about what you plan on happening or want to happen or what have you for 2008.

For me, it's apprehension. In 2008, my 18th birthday occurs. I'll legally be an adult, and...for some reason, I have a feeling that this is the end of fun as I know it. Meesa thinks that I'll lose any naïveté I might've had!

To cut it short, I'm worried that my life will start going down the drain when I hit the big one-eight. Yeah, I know I'm being paranoid, but still... :-\

You may now begin. :P

I have the same fear, Mags. Although, I'm only 15, so it's a few years off. ;)

I want to land an actually important role in a play...Although honestly I think my last performance will be next year, if I perform at all.

You're basing your fears off of me, aren't you?

My new years resolution is to get straight A's so I may proceed onto Tokyo University.

As for the growing up fear, Id dissmiss it. Im never going to stop having fun just because my age declares it.

I turn 21 this year, WHOO-HOO!  Can anyone guess what that means?  So my New Year's resolution is to kick off my drinking career but not overdo it because I want to keep my GPA at 3.9.  This is going ot be tough though because 2008 is an election year, as you know, and I don't know if I can handle all the campaign commercials.  I mean, after seeing one every other commerical, Johnnie Walker might begin to look pretty friendly.

It's time for Desert Colossus's first annual Resolution-off.

Also known as the Resolvathon!

I usually make resolutions, but I end up giving them up for Lent....

I don't have anything specific, except maybe to get better at Guitar Hero and/or Rock Band and start attending tourneys.

I also have to start visiting colleges too.  Although if things go my way, I get a free ride.

Oh yeah, we're also moving some time in Spring.

... Good luck going to tournies, GF. I've never been to one, so I have no idea what you should expect, but...

Well, there is good stuff to come in big 08, but... something inside me tells me catastrophy is about to strike. I don't know why, but I was feeling something dark as the ball was dropping...

On a lighter note:

Smash Bros Brawl: 2008
Disturbed- Indestructabile: 2008
Zelda 08(Whatever it is): 2008
THE END OF BUSH's REIGN: December 2008

Thats just off the top of my head, but I'm sure there's more. Anyways, something bad is on the horizon, or my horizon at least...

O' course not! Though I do hope that the bad vibes you're getting from the future don't turn out to be true...and deadly. I hate deadly. :'(

But yes, SSBB, FTW! :D

Boyfriends usually aren't girls.

Confusing, I know.

Um, no, Shika is a boy.  Hence why he called himself a boyfriend.

I haven't really thought much about what I'd like to do or accomplish this year... I'd like to go on vacation somewhere, though. Maybe the East Coast. It'd also be awesome to build a portable game system, too, but unfortunately, I'd probably need a job of some sort, because it'd probably cost me at least $200 if I wanted to make something like a portable PlayStation. Other than that... I can't think of much. Hmm.

Only thing I'm really looking forward to is Mitt Romney winning or else the election.
Title: Re:New Year's Resolutions/Predictions/Shout-outs/etc.
Post by: Gamefreak on January 02, 2008, 05:35:35 PM
Mitt Romney's ok.  I'll support him if he wins the primaries.

And, this isn't me talking, but there's bound to be some type of racial backlash if Obama wins the Presidency.

Of course. There will be complaints, no matter who wins... >;

Oooh, I might knock out the cosplay things sooner than I thought... we're almost done with Majora's Mask for Skull Kid and we have the material. ^^ Oh, and Robbie's like... done.

edit:
