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.

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?

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

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

I never make one.  I'm boring like that.
The once grove of splendor,
Aforetime crowned by lilac and lily,
Lay now forevermore slender;
And all winds that liven
Silhouette a lone existence;
A leafless oak grasping at eternity.

You should resolve to make resolutions in 2012.

Hahaha.  I might just have to do that.

Aforetime crowned by lilac and lily,

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

OpenGL. That's my new years resolution for this year, and then next 10.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

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.

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.
