Like always, I'm basically taking unfulfilled resolutions of the previous year, mostly from the year before that, and maybe adding a new one here or there. But this year, I'm ranking them from Level One (general improvements) to Level Three (major projects).
LEVEL ONE
* Read more, focusing more upon literature. 2021 was primarily a graphic novel year.
* Actually do some writing. Definitely considering revisiting my King of the Hill fanfiction, currently doing a 13-episode run in the spring that's set in the summer prior to Bobby's sophomore year of high school (when the show ended he was still in middle school), and then in the fall start with his return to school.
* Cook more, focusing more on homecooked meals over just tossing a frozen pizza in the pizza maker. Been hearing good things about what I can do with my new air fryer.
* Revamp my wardrobe, an expansion of my previous resolution of wearing bowties.
LEVEL TWO
* Build a bookshelf
* Host a movie night, which may seem like a total crapshoot given everyone's schedules and apparent unwillingness to plan anything that isn't Thanksgiving or Christmas.
* Host a Sunday brunch, possibly for Easter. I'm thinking a make-your-own breakfast sandwich bar and a screening of Godspell.
* Host a game night. Granted my family's more Risk and Monopoly, while I'm more Arkham Horror and Catan, but I'm sure it can't hurt to try.
LEVEL THREE
* Redecorate my place. Once I get my brother's stuff out of here, I can free up some space. Gonna consider replacing my couch and bed with a futon where my couch is. And then use the space where my bed currently is for storage. Maybe I'll put a dresser there and then get a decent entertainment center for my TV and consoles.
* Build an arcade cabinet, which I currently don't have room in my place for. So I'd probably have to find a family member who'd want one. My uncle and his fiancée babysit my brother's ex-wife's kids so they might have a use for one.
* Get my license, which is the lynchpin in my last two resolutions.
* Take a trip out of town. God knows it's hard to do anything when anything worth doing requires at least 30-45 minutes worth of driving.
* Move to NYC. Hopefully I have a driver's license by then, because then even if I don't have a car I can still rent a van and just drive up to NYC.
