Sort of poignant, really

[moon_custafer]

On Sunday my parents brought boxes of books and papers from my childhood. I've sorted through most of a box. These were my New Year's Resolutions, 1984:

1. I won't squeak.

2. I won't squeal.

3. I won't whimper.

4. I won't talk in a weird voice.

5. I'll tell my cat not to jump in the bathtub and stick her nose down the drain because she thinks it needs inspecting.

6. I won't talk about cats.

7. I won't read so much.

please, tell me you broke #7 quickly, and often? *cries just a little*
(my idea of hell is no books to read)

I did, don't worry. The sad thing is I lost most of my taste for fiction in university - now I mostly read non-fiction. Unless it's really good, I can't bring myself to get involved with those imaginary people.

I don't squeak anymore, though.
