Resolutions and short term memory loss and 21

New Year Woes!

New year begins with new hopes and new aspirations. Some want to quit smoking, some want to lose their virginity. Its all about doing something 'new'. But few people actually live up to their resolutions. By July, all resolutions are down in the bin, forgotten until December. I, with distaste and pride, am one of them. With distaste because it humiliates me to admit to myself that I cant live up to my own resolutions and with pride because, how many people can?
I, for one, suffer from short term memory loss. Each time I bite my nails, I forget that I made a resolution to quit biting my nails. Thats me! *sigh*
I turn 21 two days later and I AM NOT EXCITED. I enjoy growing old, but 21 is a dreadful age. It makes you marriage-worthy in front your parents and relatives. Mind it, relatives consider you marriage worthy the moment they see you do not have the male genitalia. *bigger sigh*
And of course, 21 will be more dreadful because for the first time in my life, I will be working on my birthday. Oh, the miseries of life. I just hope I get at least five uninterrupted minutes with both my heartbeat and my pulse. Popeye will be in a sultry mood as always. I asked for a basketball as my gift. I bet he would forget that. Pingu is in a bad mood and she doesnt change her mood on the basis of occasion. I hope things sort out by 19th.
