I have the simplest New Year resolution for 2010: the classic that never goes out of style: lose weight.
For readers of d332.com, I make a more expansive list of ten promises.
1. Less sourpuss, more positive attitude
It’s very difficult for my deadpan humor to translate online. My favorite anecdote goes like this: At a restaurant everyone who is sitting around me is laughing out loud. The waitress comes and asks why I have a face like a horse. Don’t I have any sense of humor. To this, the answer arrives: “she’s the one telling the jokes!”
Having understood the lost of translation to text, I resolve to be cheerier since most of you guys have yet to meet me in person.
2. More about homemaking
I have another sight that I write about homemaking, so that has, in some way, deflected the Stepford element from this site’s content. But do you really want to know how to clean the mold out of bathtub caulk? (combine used fabric softener sheets with fresh lemon juice). Won’t you rather look at some of my favorite futanari pictures from my collection?
3. More about transgender community
I know I stopped calling myself transgender midway through 09. I started calling myself plain ol’ eccentric. It was a fancy abbreviation for “I’m just not THAT certain about the epistemological base of any labels.” Can we be THAT sure of anything that we’ll willfully adopt a label and try our darnest to fit into that circle…..even when we are a square? But not identifying as transgender doesn’t mean I don’t care about what other transgender folks are going through. In my unique – often annoying way – I point out what I detect as shortcomings, and hopefully I, and a few of you, may learn from someone else’s mistakes.
4. More frequent updates
I’m not chained to a computer. I still use a rotary phone at my desk. A vigilant Luddite, I try to find every excuse to wander away from a computer. But I will try to update more frequently this year.
5. Shorter entries
If silence is golden, then the gift of brevity is at least gold flakes. I have resolve to put my long, memory-aid entries in private mode, so I can simply log in and go read them when I need to remember what I was thinking some weeks ago.
6. Better accessibility and support
Hey look! I have a YAHOO INSTANT MESSENGER status button on the right sidebar below my pic. So now if you have to ask me something about what you just read, and that yellow bouncy ball is lit up, you can scoot over and say Hi!
7. More noticeable humor
8. More outdoor, public pictures with people in the foreground and background
So you’ll be sure I didn’t wake up at 6 AM to go out and snap these pictures. Besides, I’m usually just about to go sleep around sunrise.
9. More transgender advice.
I know my article about how to buy a dress, written in the nascent years of d332.com is quoted often. Hopefully, I would like to write more things like that that can assist other trans girls in going about the whole business of dressing with a sheep’s glance towards quality.
10. More pictures
I can’t really promise this one. As time is quickly advancing upon me, I find less reason to pursue the narcissistic art of self-portraits. Besides, wouldn’t you rather read about cleaning mold off a bathtub?
