Ahoy-hoy!

In the 1870s, Scottish-born inventor Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. What many people don't know is Graham Bell's preffered greeting when answering the telephone was ahoy-hoy!
Isn't that delightful?!

Now, after my brief (but in reality quite long) sojurn from the world wide web (I ran out of my pre-paid internet, and wasn't bothered to fix it up) I am back! And with a whole package of resolutions to achieve this jolly year.
You may ask why I determine these resolutions in February? That's a good question. You see, I am a hoarder. Now, horders all know how hard it is to stop collecting things once you've started, and it is the same with resolutions. Now, it takes about a month after making resolutions to finally stop making new ones and start doing them.

And this brings me to now. This year I am going to go through my resolutions, hopefully with as much adventure and disaster as possible. (because you have more fun when things go awry). I'll list most of them as I go along, because then I can leave out the ones I didn't achieve you won't be dreadfully overwhelmed with the sort of goals I give myself. Though in the name of good measure I might as well name a few.

1. Meet someone with a Salvador Dali moustache. Do I have to explain here?

2. Befriend someone named Spencer. Because everybodys lives would be better if a Spencer was around.

3. Finish my read-list. Now. For those who don't know about me or my read-list, I tell you, this thing is legendary. Every year I compile a list of all the books I want to read in the span of a year. Last year's was a slight disaster, what with there being more books than days of the year. But this year will be different. I swear. (And 150 books by February really isn't THAT difficult to achieve... Is it?). But I have decided to write about the books I read, because most of my friends (and family) get sick of hearing about the books that I read. But you, my dear reader, can just skim over what you don't want to read, and I will not be in the slightest offended. (I'm not sure I can guarantee that).

4. Get some form of taxidermied animal. Or animal head mounted on my wall. Because I really enjoy masculine style furniture and interiors, and I so have a thing for taxidermy.

5. Find out strange hob-nobs of facts to share with strangers. Share them with strangers, and people I have just met. And anyone who will listen, or will not listen. Because, let's face it, it's always fun to know that Uncle Sam was actually a butcher and the second full moon of a month is called a blue moon. Point proven.

6. Wear more hats. Every year, I decide my life is in dire need of hats. And rings, but that boat sailed after I realised I fidget enough to wear the skin from my fingers. So every year I resolve to wear more head gear. It works, to an extent. It's just that the southern hemisphere doesn't help much, with all it's heat. But this year I'm really going to TRY. When it gets colder.

And that's all you'll get for now, I'm sure your minds could be filled with other, more interesting stuff.
Go, be interesting!
