Resolvent

Right. I have two New Year's Resolutions. Only two because the other things I could potentially resolve to do, I'm already doing, so it'd be hollow, or the others I realize now there's no way I'll ever be committed enough to achieve them. Thus am I fulfilling the first of my resolutions right now, by writing more. Vague yes, but I don't want to limit myself to blogging more, or writing more songs, or fiction, or letters, or hate mail. Thus I shall simply write more and generally. And then I'll have these works in the future to remind myself who I am, what I do, and why. And the second resolution I'm belatedly making is to do everything in earnest. I started saying that about things, 'When I get back, I'll began training in earnest,' or 'fundraising in earnest,' or 'figuring out what I'll do with the rest of my life in earnest.' Then after saying it so many times, I started to convince myself. So now I feel like I really should do all things in earnest. But not earnestly. I'd prefer to be in earnest.

Earnest is a funny word.
