Another thing for me

TAXES

Except this time, I'm looking forward to it.  After investing about 1/3 of my annual income to mortgage payments, I should have a fat wad of cash waiting for me, which I will use to buy a laptop and another HDTV to replace our family TV (I have a small one now doing double duty as my personal TV and my computer monitor).  All I need is one more W-2...

This year will, if things don't go wrong, include:

Transferring to a new college
Finishing a horror novel I've been working on
Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni season 3 (if it comes out this year)
Smash Bros Brawl (if it EVER comes out...)
Excel Saga vol.8 (thanks to you guys lol.)
Excel Saga vol.17 when it comes out (skipped 8, continued to current >_>)
Getting out of the bat infested house (seriously. Maternal colony in the walls. Hundreds of the buggers. Can't go upstairs)

.... don't ask  :icon_razz:

Ideally, yes.
Probably, no.

Let's see if I finish it first XD
I'll let you guys know... in about a year.

Oh yeah, and to add to the list... Guitar Hero 4

Necrominion

Hopefully i pass this year of University.
Some more world travelling (most likely Paris or Rome again :lordilsmile: )
Maybe finish all the painting ive been meaning to do (pfft doubt it)

Lord, the reminds me of the novel I have finished and sitting around.  Thought about trying to get it published, likely won't be able to.  Humorous Fantasy is a hard sell.  I've been thinking of doing a "tip jar" type thing and putting it online, but I dunno.  I would like to do something with it - it's proven popular with the right people, but it's a small audience (weird humor and parody for the true fantasy gaming geek - yeah, not a big market :P)

But maybe I can do something with it this year.

Oh, and writing my thesis, maybe finishing it by year's end.

And writing my second novel (which is dramatic fantasy, maybe I'll have better luck.  Maybe).

Good luck, mate, because that describes just about every job in existence, though there are varying levels thereof.

well then, as a fellow author, good luck ElricJC!

And good luck to Exckilla too, despite no known connections :D

Uncreativity

Excel Saga, just like everyone else, though I get the Japanese comics as well as the English ones, so I'm looking forward to 19 and all the YKO issues and hopefully [spoiler] and [spoiler] can finally [spoiler]! I'm also really looking forward to actually owning all three issues of Uzumaki, another of my favorite mangas. (I'm so glad they re-released it! It's been out-of-print for a long time, and was like $80 PER BOOK before!)

I'm also going to learn A LOT more Japanese! ??????? :ehail:

exckilla

Can't think of any other prospects worth waiting for, the olympics 'ha'

Randamo

world peace...?
               and the dvds of lucky star - recently got into it.

Necrominion

i have my driving test today, but i don't want to drive.
it's such a hassle. once i get my licence, inevitably i must get a car, petrol, fuzzy dice, body kits, neon under the car, the pearlescant paint... soon, racing will become my life, eventually though, i will get into an accident, damaging my left wrist, forever dooming me to a life filled with making tofu nad forcing my son to drive for me - just like those football dads in those american dramas.
i wish it worked the way it did in america, you learn to drive at school, but it's an outside school responsiblity, making you pay money to do tests and 50 hours of driving and blah.

it's the same here. at least for me it was, i paid my way through all that mess.
