Here are my New Year's Resolutions, if you're curious:
- I will finally get organized. This includes getting all of the weird science experiments that I haven't touched for weeks out of my house, building my mind palace to be bigger and better, and actually writing down all of my many appointments with people so I don't have to waste mental energy making silly mnemonics all the time.
- I will not worry about people's self-imposed problems. These include "problems" such as
- being in trouble for not doing things they are responsible for
- having to act like adults when they offend others, apologizing and thinking about their actions instead of blaming whoever they offended for overreacting
- other people finding out the truth after they've blatantly lied to them
- any other such things that people expect will elicit my compassion for some irrational reason.
- I will be more assertive. Next time that werewolf tries to kill me and we happen to be next to a cliff, I will push him over into the mouth of the great white shark conveniently lurking below rather than making a weak effort with my laser gun and only escaping because somebody from my network owed me a favor and incapacitated the werewolf momentarily, saving me with her helicopter.
- I will make people more aware of my intelligence so they take what I say seriously. Not that I'm not already a world-renowned expert, but I'll just try to be more of a world-renowned expert.
- I'll try to understand other people's perspectives better. I don't think I need to explain why this is a good idea; it's just part of life.
- I will be more persuasive. Also self-explanatory.
- Last but not least, I will update this blog more! If you're reading this, no matter how observant you are, you can see why this is a good idea.
Signing off,
SM
