Independent Soul: now with 75% more CMS! :D

I’ve made a CMS for my stories and one for the quotes, which will hopefully make it a bit easier to update those, at least, and a gallery so I can keep all of my photos and stuff together instead of trying to remember if I put a certain photo on my LJ gallery, my Flickr account, or my /random folder.

And, of course, happy birthday to me. :D

This is the time of year I usually get all thinky and stuff, and this year is no different. I’ve made a bunch of plans and resolutions for the coming year, and this time, I think I will actually keep them.

Resolutions, in order of how hard you’re all allowed to smack me if I fail.

1. Get a new job by May. I’m setting myself a deadline because it’ll be the only way to stick to this.
2. Get serious about freelancing as a webdesigner.
3. Do not start smoking again.
4. Crossdress when I feel like going into boymode, and let anyone who thinks it’s weird or stupid hang.
5. Draft a budget and stick to it for at least three months in a row.

I figure, if I stick to only five of them, that should be manageable. A theoretical sixth is “Write moar,” but like I said, realistic. I’ll try, of course, but I’m not setting myself any goals anymore. :/

(On the subject of #4, my birthday/Christmas present to myself this year is going to be a compression vest/shirt. Possibly one of these — they’re in the US, but I’ve heard good things about Underworks.)

Plans for today: go out to buy Christmas presents for the fam and Lush stuff for me, come home, have a long hot bath. Mmmm. :)

Don't forget I'm coming over to give you pressies! Should be round about six.

(if you do forget and answer the door in a towel or something, I'll think Christmas came early. /grin/)

Happy birthday, Melle! You ROCK. =) I'm sure you can do all the things you want to do - you're pretty good that way I think. (and I really don't see why you can't dress how you choose; it's nobody's business but YOURS and ppl should just butt out.)

Hope you have a good one! <3333 :)

Thanks, hon. *hug*

The crossdressing thing is ... a combination of "People won't understand and think it's attention-whoring" and "This could get me killed or seriously hurt if I'm unlucky." Thankfully, I have awesome friends who support me and stuff.
