Achievements for 2008

[fex]

Having just read the Memories of 2007 topic, and thought instead of looking back, why not look to the future?

So what are you planning for 2008?
A New Job?
New Friends?
Moving Away?
Be More Confident?
Be Healthier?

New Year
For me, I will be quiting my job towards the end of January and moving from Scunthorpe to Leeds. So I will be finding a new job, meeting plenty of new friends. It'll be a huge shock, but I'm really looking forward making the change and getting out of a crappy town.

Spring
Nothing much planned, still settling in and getting used to paying bills.

Summer
Hopefully going to Download or Leeds festival, and fingers crossed Rage Against The Machine will be playing, or I may have to drive to Germany to see them play.

Autumn and Winter
Nothing planned!

I will also try and stop eating so much crap in 2008 and excerise a little more, so I don't become a wobble.

[AshMat]

well in 2008 i will bump my gamerscore over 10,000 with achievements.

In seriousness.
- Get a proper part time job, not this bastard paper round
- Seriously study for my GCSEs
- Leeds festival in the summer again is a must
- Girlfriend that lasts more than 4 weeks ¬_¬
- Get into the good college i'm aiming for (ties in with the GCSE one really)

[Roostophe]

I've set a few achievements for mesen:

1. Get a fookin' job.

2. Finish writing me story, with a view to getting it published.

My expectations are quite low. However, number 1 will be a piece of piss. :smile:

[ssj]

For me

. Get a job
. Pass my driving test

. Watch at least 3 live shows (already about to book one)

. Try to get on Deal or no Deal

[Gizmo]

Theres not really alot I can do with my life in the next couple of years; I'm stuck at the age where being where I am sucks, but I can't move on for a while. All I can say I guess is to get the best I can on my exams in the spring, and just generally try to be less of an idiot.

[Slaggis]

- Get good results on my AS levels
- Drive
- Other stuff

[Noodleman]

1, Get fit
2, Go to Glastonbury
3, Go Travelling

All of it is 99% certain to happen.

You could get fit by travelling to Glastonbury.
Sorted!

[Ashley]

I am going to quit my job which is a positive step for me as it will mean I get to relax and enjoy myself a bit more. I've been working and at college/uni for five years now and I've just had enough. So yeah, the new year will see a more relaxed funsies having me.

Other than that I plan to do my uni work sooner and I hope to do some sort of internship over the summer (as a way of avoiding work/adding to CV). Plus I should hopefully be doing a radio work placement next semester.

[Strider]

1) Get good As results (That'll take alot of work)
2) Pass my driving test
3) Maybe get a Girlfriend, doubtful but you never know.
4)Get thin(ner)

[Twozzok]

One of the various Festivals, Either Glasto or Reading probably. Possibly Download if they've improved their line-up by shitloads.

Actually revise and shit for my A2's.

Ace whatever Uni interviews I get (blargh, hate interviews ¬_¬)

etcetc

[thirtynine.]

I plan to, pass my second year at uni, and get some interest from a/some company's for my skating talents.
Not too ambitious then :P

[McMad]

Hmm... Achievements for next year....

1. Start learning Bass Guitar.
2. Fucking pwn my GCSEs.
3. Get a girlfriend... *has a cold shower*
4. Start actually learning how to use the old /i/ toolbox.
5. Get a bigger gamerscore (penis) than Ashmat. :heh:

[Emasher]

My main goal is to make more friends.

[welsh_gamer]

Climb up the career ladder or get a better job.
Possibly go to a music festival. Going to the Liverpool Sound concert, which will rock!
Get a nice girlfriend.
Make more friends who actually wanna go out and do something, rather than stay in.
Go to the gym. Most of my jean's don't fit me no-more, so I suspect I have put a little bit of weight on.
Save money. Got all my car money sorted (insurance, tax etc) and I have spent quite a bit on "entertainment" over the past year, so I hope to actually put a few pounds in my PostOffice account this new year.

[Stefkov]

Not even the end of the year and we're getting all these threads.
I guess my aims will be to maybe get a full part time job. By full I mean working in a place I like and getting some 'experience' so I won't get rejected by Partners...¬_¬
Next I think I'll buckle down on games, I've already started that now but I need to stop playing them till the early hours. I need to get college work done so I'm gonna have to go at that.
Make new friends I guess, maybe even a girlfriend but that's a real big long shot. When I, hopefully, go to Uni I'll make some new friends.
Finally save up money for what will proly be a great summer.
Also lost weight and get into sports, namely tennis.

[El Che]

2008 is going to be FUCKING HUGE. I can feel it.

[The Bard]

Hmm... Achievements for next year....

1. Start learning Bass Guitar.
2. Fucking pwn my GCSEs.
3. Get a girlfriend... *has a cold shower*
4. Start actually learning how to use the old /i/ toolbox.

Nice one, what bass you got/are getting? Learning an instrument is amazing if you have the enthusiasm for it :).

As for me, I've got a huge amount to accomplish;

1. Stop lying to girls when I'm drunk, only to have the possibility of it going somewhere crippled by said lies. I guess that ties in with getting some self respect. Not that I have a lack of it, lets face it, I love myself, but then, I hate myself for liking the way I am.

2. Keep improving my guitar playing, especially working on improvisation, and getting a solid grasp of modes, rather than using a scale system. Start recording my music; I've had this recording shit lying around for a couple of months now, and I still haven't set it up. I'm also going to try harder to find more musicians to play with, and maybe get something going...the problem is that there's hardly anyone who'd go for my kind of thing...the metal heads balk at the huge amount of acoustic stuff going on, and everyone else can't play any of it to begin with. It's frustrating.

3. Look for a job, and stop being picky. I'm in desperate need of cash, and I don't think my parents are going to take anything I do seriously until I stop leeching off them.

4. Reread all the texts I put down in my personal statement so I don't fuck up interviews; pretty daunting task...and stop reading Larkin, that bastard is almost entirely responsible for my misery.

5. Stop waiting. Do everything I want to do, and stop delaying it or thinking that there will be time when I'm older or when the circumstances change. similarly, stop being so retrospectively introspective; going over all the things that have happened in my life and imposing some stupid meaning on them.

6. Stop feeling the need to rant at people when they say retarded things...But hey, it entertains me...I guess I'm just "sensitive to the point of vulgarity." *Secretly wishes he was Jimmy from 'Look Back in Anger'*

[somme]

Start gigging and spreading my bands music around more.

That's my only aim for 2008. Music.

EDIT: Oh yes I do have another aim: finish my novel.

If I get that then I will be happy.

I want to try and get on TV. Ive applied for deal or no deal so they can phone me up at any time. I'm also going to apply for the x factor - Not to win (I sound like a strangled goat when I sing) but to try and get on tv for 5 mins and go for the experience

Want to be a duo?

[rokhed00]

Lots of little things, need to lose more weight, only lost 3 and a half of the six stone I wanted to lose this year. Need to work on my make up skills, I'm getting better but still have a long way to go. Need to have a good clear out, I'm running seriously short on cupboard space. I want to make lots more home movies too, the first few made a few hundred quid, but sales have slowed down. Big thing though is seeing the doctor about possible gender reassignment, that's the scary one, but it needs to be done.
