This is Only a Test...

Something, or someone, doesn't want me to meet my goal next year. People close to me are being used to help put an end to my quest. Objects have been placed in my path to tempt me.

Like the first season of "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer." I stayed up until 2 this morning watching it. Sure, I could probably watch the rest of it in the six days I have left to go. But once I start a series, I have to continue on until I've consumed every available bit of it. That's six more seasons!

Also, the Dynamic Duo got me "World of Warcraft." I would have watched more "Buffy" last night if I hadn't spent an hour stumbling around killing boars and getting myself lost. After ten minutes of wandering about, I forgot who I was looking for, and then I couldn't find the guy who sent me on the quest in the first place.

And books! People gave me books for Christmas! I have a hard time with the idea of tucking them in on a bookshelf, giving them a kiss and saying "See you in 2008." Especially when I want to read "The Martian Chronicles" so Significant Dave will see me for the sexy nerd that I am.

I will not be distracted! I'm a little cocky since I accomplished this year's goal. But this is much harder, it requires a lot more discipline, something I'm quite short on. And "Buffy" is so good...
