I'm still considering mine, but figured I'd start the thread anyways.

I feel like I succeeded in following through with my last year's resolutions.

release and tour on a new album.
base my self-worth less on other people's perception of me, and more upon my responsiveness to the moment.

Mine is usually to stop biting my nails and it falls through about a week into the new year.

You did remind me not to go to the gym for at least a month after school starts, though. All sorts of kids are gonna be in there all the time working out, trying to adhere to their resolution or whatever. :p

I've got time to think of some, right?

[iago]

For me, it's "stay the course". I think I'm doing pretty good, I just need to keep doin' what I'm doin' :)

Fuck I forgot about this. Sigh, gonna be a brutal few weeks.

I never make one.  I'm boring like that.

You should resolve to make resolutions in 2012.

[AntiVirus]

Hahaha.  I might just have to do that. 

[iago]

it's very meta. I like meta. :)

Not kill anyone at the overly crowded gym for the next month and a half. Then, it'll be back to normal.

[Joe]

OpenGL. That's my new years resolution for this year, and then next 10.

For the hell of it (and to prove to myself that it's not a habit), I stopped biting my nails on Jan 1. I always maintain that I broke the habit years ago, and that biting my nails is part of grooming now, not an unconscious habit. I'm usually fairly conscious about doing it.

And apparently I was right. Not biting them doesn't bother me in general, but having any kind of nails messes up my typing! Using a computer is annoying to me with any kind of nails :(

Over a month later, I haven't put my nails in my mouth. I wonder how long I have to do it to prove a point, I miss having ubershort nails and I hate the feeling of clippers!

You must continue until you reverse your hatred for the feeling of clippers! Then your point will be proven.

I stopped for a good two weeks, but have since relapsed. Bit two of my nails to the point where pressure against them hurts. Typing is semi-painful when your thumb/pointer are in pain when being used

As someone who bites their nails, DON'T GIVE IN. You know it stinks.

[Sidoh]

I bite my nails, but, like iago, not as a nervous habit.

I stopped for a while to see if I could and only started again because I find clippers annoying and far less convenient.
