m: if you want randomness with postmodern philosophy, read "hard boiled wonderland and the end of the world", if you want more easily understandable plot but still retaining murakami's exquisite style, read "the wind up bird chronicle". Both are the most highly rated adult fiction books I would ever recommend.
my list
1)give up smoking, but still smoke every now and then
2)take some more brilliant photos and put them online/sell them
3)start and finish a new major web project, like project2501, nodeworld, etc (if enough people vote on next_blather_colour, you will see it happen)
4)save and invest more money in bonds/ISAs
5)become more focused on the future.
sorry, anne-girl, but I'm not confining myself to 5. however, the following are incidental things that simply will happen, not things that have a significant potential of not happening, unlike the above. Without further ado then:
things that will undoubtedly happen in the next year:
6)get a new computer (see my_computers)
7)go camping for month in greece
8.a)read another murakami novel (note to futureme: I haven't read norweigan_wood yet)
8.b)read another murakami novel after that..
9)read more scifi
10)send myself another (few?) futureme message(s?)
11)pirate several GB of DVDs (for personal use only.. but they'll be rented DVDs)

heh, u24... i listed six anyway, so i tecnically broke my own rule :)
-- found some ambition
-- sort of found a job, three times
-- sort of improved my speaking coherently skills
i think the fifth may have been bullshit
and the sixth is something I've yet to do well
new goals for the next year:
1. find a job
2. have a blast at university
3. know everything about math that I can be reasonably (and maybe unreasonably too) expected to know
4. make some new friends, preferably accidentally (accidental friends are the best)
5. get to know some seriously smart math people
w00t @ university!
