New Year's Resolutions Meme

[so-pregnable.livejournal.com]

Our characters have not all been good this year and even the ones that have been good can do better. ICly write down your character's resolutions. Try to go for ten, if you can, but go more if they'd have them!

An example (with many things gratuitously stolen from Skippy's List XD).

Superboy's New Year's Resolutions

1. Continue being Awesome.
2. Heckle the techies into building a sun lamp, seriously.
3. Spend more time with my friends, especially Slobo and Cissie, because YJ all the way--we're almost all here now, and we need to get back what we had.
4. Keep Robin from going crazy. (v. hard).
5. Save universes. (Been there, done that).
6. Stop freaking out over Luthor. As much as I want to punt him out an airlock, I haven't been acting very super, when it comes to him. Kal would handle it another way.
7. Perennial resolution: Be more like Superman.
8. Make sure the kids on the ship get to be kids, like I never could be.
9. Make sure Cassie knows how much I love her every day.
10. Slightly related: Keep up with the safer sex with Cassie. That one night was terrifying--do not need a reiteration of Crisis of Infinite Birth Control Scares.
11. Annoy Brainy more often. Can v. easily be done w/ use of Bart.
12. Get Master Chief to actually have fun sometime.
13. Stop dodging out of getting another haircut because it "tampers with my Samson-like powers."
14. Stop joking that that chick Holly Short is "after me Lucky Charms."
15. Stop calling every female doctor in the MedBay "Dr. Feelgood."
16. The proper response to an order from the Command Crew is not “Why? Should keep this in mind.
17. Should no longer refer to Master Chief as "mom."
18. In a related note, Samus is not "dad."
19. Joking that I'm in need of a "more suitable host body" REALLY bad idea after the Yeerk thing.
20. No more duct-taping children to the walls of Sensorium, even when they really have it coming.
21. If the thought of something makes me giggle for longer than 15 seconds, I am to assume that I am not allowed to do it.

1. Be a better friend to Adam.
2. Bring some semblance of order to the Engineering department.

5. Study the machines in the hangar, if permitted, and make repairs and improvements.
6. Make more room in my schedule for combat training.
7. Conduct fresh round of experiments inspired by item 4, if time allows.
8. Make myself more frequently available for school-related tutoring.
9. As a result of 6, I will improve my performance in combat.

[aworldnevermade.livejournal.com]

Uh... have you ever worked on D-Engine technology?

Re: 5

[morphitudinous]

I haven't, but I can ask my crew if any of them have experience with something similar.

I could also look at it---if you allowed me to, I'm fairly sure I could gain a working knowledge of the engine. I've acquainted myself with advanced foreign technology before.

Re: 5

[aworldnevermade.livejournal.com]

It's not a good idea to work on a D-Engine if you're not specially trained for it. Aeon Syndrome isn't pretty.

Re: 5

[(Anonymous)]

Can you or anyone else on board provide the training? If it's possible, we should probably have someone in our department trained to assist you.

What's Aeon Syndrome?

Re: 5

[aworldnevermade.livejournal.com]

I'm a pilot, not an arcanotech... I might be able to dig out some of the records, but I wouldn't trust anybody to do real work just from a manual.

It can happen when somebody works on core arcanotechnology without the proper support environment. People get... weird. The [vague gesture] extra dimension... stuff... messes with their heads.
