This years resolutions...

Following up on Miss Victoria Suzzane's recent post in which she posted her new year's resolutions, I'd like to share some of my goals this year! Here's a short list of what I hope to accomplish in 2011. :)
1.) Improve my lolita wardrobe
Right now, my wardrobe is just bleh. I've got the basics (bloomers, petticoat, a basic white off-brand blouse, a coat, a couple of lolita-specific boots and a couple of skirts and dresses) but really, I think I could do so much better. Since I plan on dying my hair pink in March, I'd love to get a lot more pink into my wardrobe (I ALWAYS seem to buy monochrone things, for some reason!) and hopefully get my first brand dress this year. I'm looking at a velveteen navy blue dress from BabySSB right now- it's beautiful and would work beautifully as a choir dress as well if I wore it without a petticoat! :)
2.) Learn to deco
I've always loved decoden- it's such a cool way to make otherwise drab things look awesome. I've recently been reading more of Miss Violet LeBeaux's blog, and looking at all the neat things she's deco'd has really inspired me. I plan on going to NYC this year, so hopefully I'll get a chance to check out Tokyo Rebel's deco supplies!
3.) Improve my appearance
There's a lot of things to do in this section- I need to overcome my fear of stuffing things in my eyes so I can get contacts, invest in a good curler so I can curl my hair more often, improve my often-dry skin, and I admit I could stand to lose a few pounds (I'm not overweight right now, but I'm at the larger end of the spectrum of what's considered healthy for my height). To make all this happen, I'll probably have to...
4.) Get a job!
As I've mentioned before, I've been trying to get a job for the longest time, but I haven't had any luck yet. Hopefully this year the economy will get better and I'll be able to find a job nearby, even in my boring almost business-less suburb!
5.) Miscellaneous
There's a lot of things I want to do this year that don't really require an explanation- get my license, improve my grades, improve my sewing skills, do at least one play/musical, take up dancing, join another choir, and actually update my blog more often!
6.) Write a book!
I've been working on an imagery essay for English lately (well, more like getting a leg up on it- we won't get the official grading rubric until after Christmas vacation!) about a unicorn in a forest. I find it's so fun to write about the things, and just writing this three-page snippet has inspired me so much. This year, I hope to write (not necessarily publish, though that would be awesome!) a full-length novel about a unicorn in the Hercynian Forest, a European wilderness known for it's supposed population of unicorns. I'd like to books to involve a young girl, spunky and wild, and for the book to have an enviornmental message. I already have a title for this whole project too- the same title as my essay, Guardian of the Hercynian Forest! You heard it first here, folks! :)
That's all for my new years resolutions. If anybody else has any resolutions they'd like to share, please do! I always love hearing about other people's goals and, if possible, helping them out with it! :)
