"Excuse me, Miss?"

This year, I've decided not to make any resolutions. This is a big step for me, as I normally look forward to a fresh year, a fresh outlook and a fresh start.

However, after much reflection, I've come to realize that I just repeat the same empty promises to myself. I swear I'll lose weight. I swear I'll be more organised. I swear I'll work on my spirituality. I swear to be a better person. Bah. I'm still the same overweight, messy, lack-luster Christian you'll ever meet.

An experience just yesterday helped me to kick start one of those older resolutions. I was exiting the subway system of our great city, and headed up the escalator--minding my own business. Then...it happened. A moment that just makes my stomach turn at the thought of it.

Luigilover: *minding own business*
Loserboy: Excuse me, miss?
Luigilover: *turn around* Yes?
Loserboy: I just wanted to let you know, I LOVE your SIZE!!
Luigilover: < insert thought bubble here >

What.
The.
Frigg.

How do you respond to a comment like that?

Luigilover: Why, thank you!
Loserboy: *perverted grin*

So, my dear friends (...without inserting any racist/stereotypical comments of Loserboy), I will lose weight this year. I have to!

Happy New Years everyone....wishing you all many, many more!
