Anti-Resolutions


Normally I post the more humorous memes on my personal blog - nothing against them, or those who take part in them, but I do try to maintain a division between my life as a writer (this site) and my life as a regular member of the public (my other site).

However, Dale has posted a little challenge, and he did specify that we be as creative as possible, which brings this meme back into the realms of creative writing which means it belongs on here. The challenge is to come up with 10 New Year Anti-Resolutions for 2008. Here are mine:

  1. I shall refrain from ordering breakfast through the medium of interpretive dance.
  2. I will not begin each meal with a rousing chorus of YMCA.
  3. I will stop insisting that people recognise my diplomatic immunity.
  4. I will not challenge people to rock scissors paper matches in order to decide whether I help them at work.
  5. I will not insist my word is law unless I can prove the Queen gave my word Royal Assent.
  6. I will not arrange my CDs in alphabetical order - of the person who sold the CD to me...
  7. I will not invade Poland just because "everyone else has had a shot..."
  8. I will not insist that I am the reincarnation of Ringo Starr (think about it...)
  9. I will not go to the dry cleaner's dressed only in my mother's bath robe.
  10. I will not sacrifice a frozen chicken to the mighty god Tes-co in order to gain his blessing for a successful grocery shopping trip
