your tongue is sharp, but i miss the taste of it

today while reading i'm with the band i found the perfect set of mid-year's resolutions for me and since i did not make any new year's resolutions i figured i would start here instead. of course my first resolution is to not ignore my blog for 2 weeks in a row. i do apologize because i had my last week in rome and then a week traveling from vienna to amsterdam to paris. it was a hectic but amazing trip around europe and now that i am back at home and back to the mundane i am ready to roll with my blog. so here is the list of resolutions as taken from i'm with the band.

Resolutions for 1964

1. don't hang on boys.
2. be serious when it's called for
3. try harder on my complexion
4. get better grades
5. concentrate on my figure looking better
6. don't rat my hair so much
7. try to be more feminine
8. be cute every day
9. don't use vulgar language
10. let nails stay long and polished
11. pluck eyebrows every four days
12. shave legs and underarms every week
13. deodorant every day
14. brush teeth twice a day
15. don't waste money on trash
16. don't ruin boys


i realize that some of these resolutions are easy to do and kind of aged, but others (which i am sure you can guess) are better applied to my life. this is just one of three books that i am currently reading. i have to finish harry potter and the half-blood prince before the movie comes out. and i am also reading pattie boyd's Wonderful Tonight. home and without a summer job i am hoping to read about 3 books a week. reaching this goal for the week might be difficult because tomorrow i leave to head back to school for a weekend-long festival. until then i will consider some additions to add onto my mid-year resolutions.
