Win A Bunnyhead Ring From Alegorie!

[ 7 January 2010 ]

Win this Bunnyhead ring!

Bonjour, bonjour!

I am back from my holiday feeling rested, rejuvenated & ready to go! So it is with utmost delight that I announce the very first giveaway of 2010 — a silver bunnyhead ring from Alegorie!

It’s made by Proverb, which is a New Zealand-based (represent!) accessories brand. It’s about 7 1/4” in size, & not adjustable, but should fit at least one finger on most women’s hands! This one is plated in white silver but you can pick a gold plated finish if you prefer! Isn’t it beautiful?! I wear mine almost every day!

Win this Bunnyhead ring!

Rabbits are considered extremely lucky, even sacred. Long ago, people believed that spirits inhabited the bodies of animals. The ancient European Celts thought that rabbits particularly were inhabited by numina & underground spirits. (This is called animism & is really fascinating!)

Rabbits can be thought of as tricksters, symbols of innocence & youth, sexuality (hello, Playboy!), health, abundance & prosperity, rebirth (hello, Easter!), parties & indulgence (hello, Ometotchtli!), blessed luck & even good weather! A bunnyhead ring is the perfect thing to get you through two-thousand-&-amen!

One lucky nonpareil will WIN her very own bunnyhead ring! How do you get in on the fun?

Leave a comment below telling us what you are most excited about in 2010! It can be one line or an essay — whatever you feel comfortable with! Whether it’s travel to a distant land, seeing your lover again or finally getting out of school, we want to hear it!

I think I am personally most excited about seeing my parents again, being madly in love (aw) & making lots of career magic! I am also over-the-moon & totally obsessing about going to India later in the year! (!!!!!!!!!)

Okay lover, you have a week to enter! The contest is open to everyone all over the globe & runs until next Thursday (the 14th). The winner will be chosen at random & emailed for their address & details (so please make sure you put your real email address in the comment form)!

Win this Bunnyhead ring!

Only one nonpareil will win but everyone is entitled to a 15% discount on all Alegorie purchases throughout the month of January! All you need to do is enter DARLING15 during checkout!

Thanks so much to Alicia of Alegorie for making this happen… & best of luck!

P.S. Since I know you’re going to ask, my nailpolish is OPI’s DS Elegance! xo


RADICAL self-love & stardust,

  1. Moving on! In the most wonderful, sparkly, smiley way.

  2. Weee!
    What I’m most excited about this year is the idea of trying to get a job (finnally in the area I’m actually studying), and with that money either go to England to see my sister (and travel to other parts of Europe, obviously), or make a roadtrip through the US! Both are my dream trips and it would be AMAZING if I can make it :D

  3. Last year, shortly before my 40th birthday, I started dancing again, and magically, I found my Glittering Soul, still intact, in a pair of dance slippers.

    I ended 2009 a certified YogaDance instructor.

    For 2010, I look forward to exploring this New Shiny Life.

    I will open a Healing Movements Studio; I will heal myself further by exploring whatever genre of movement is calling my name (right now, bellydance, flamenco, classical Indian, and Modern); and I will continue to learn about the intimate connection between Dance and Life.

    I think I could definitely use some Rabbit Medicine!

  4. I am most excited about taking a long-awaited trip to southern California to visit many friends and family, to enjoy my newly acquired bed set and new mattress (LOVE!), and to let every negative things slide off my back. It’s a new decade and a new time for positivity. Let’s go!

  10. There are so many things I’m excited for in 2010!

    - Seeing my lover again, yes! Esp. since the distance has made his heart grow fonder, and my patience is paying off.

    - Really stepping in to my job and making it my own, shaping this theatre in to what it needs to be!

    - Making my beautiful new home a magical place I’m happy to be in.

    - Mardi Gras 2010!

    - Planning for travel, revisiting Denver, saving my pennies for European travel next year….

    <3 Ashe Mischief · Jan 7, 02:30 PM · #

  11. I’m incredibly excited about all my art projects! I graduated from uni with a comic book bachelor a few years ago but never did much with it… Now I’m studying translation and have never been more active artistically! I need a bunny to bring me good luck in all my endeavours!

    <3 Katoo · Jan 7, 02:31 PM · #

  12. I’m looking forward to finally being able to be with my fiance (he’s 6000 miles away in England), starting a new life with him as his wife here in California and living for MYSELF. It only took 28 years to realize that’s what I should be doing.

    <3 Becky · Jan 7, 02:32 PM · #

  13. I’m most excited about having a new boyfriend and finally being deeply and truely in love, breathtaking, just the way I dreamed of :D~
    There are lots of other things for me, this year, lots of things which make me happy or excited just thinking about, but I guess none of them can compare with this feeling <3
    Love does exist! :D

    <3 Misha · Jan 7, 02:32 PM · #

  14. I am most excited about starting my own little business. It involves lots of craftiness and creating gorgeous things, so consider me super psyched! This stems from my New Years resolution to have more faith in myself, and to take the great feedback I’ve had to heart. Weee!

    xoxo

    <3 Mere · Jan 7, 02:32 PM · #

  15. I’m excited about a lot of things, but in my life, it would be spending time outdoors with my husband and my sweet Jack Russell Terrier. Career-wise, I’m excited about learning new things.

    <3 Krissi · Jan 7, 02:33 PM · #

  16. Living. Like, really, consciously, presently living. I feel like I floated through life last year.

    That’s a great ring. Would go perfectly with my Alice tatt.

    <3 Jazzi M. · Jan 7, 02:34 PM · #

  17. I am excited about really moving forward in my life and making some positive [much needed] changes and trying new things. I look forward to: running a half marathon, reaching my peak physical/emotional/mental/spiritual potential, and moving to Austin and living fabulously in that great city.

    <3 Scotton · Jan 7, 02:36 PM · #

  18. I’m most looking forward to meeting a bunch of bloggers at the end of this month, buying a new car, going out with lots of boys, and decorating the second floor of my house!

  20. Traveling!
    I’m going to Costa Rica over spring break and might get to spend the summer in Europe and get to start planning for a post-college graduation trip next year (Iceland? Mongolia? Thailand?).

    <3 Torie · Jan 7, 02:38 PM · #

  21. 2010, here I come.
    This year I’m gonna finish college finally! It’s been 5 looooong years. At times I was on the verge of giving up, but worked up the… courage to hang in there (there is a better word than courage, maybe I matured). The thought of being a professional makes me so excited squeal.

    <3 Jocelyn · Jan 7, 02:38 PM · #

  22. I am most excited in 2010 to really take the time to grow into a person i’m proud of! Just a few months ago I moved to Austin, TX [without ever visiting before] with one friend and not much of a plan. But I am starting to settle here and I already feel so much more alive and happy with the world I’ve created for myself. This year I plan to:

    -work on my music, put together an album and start playing shows around Austin [there’s already significant progress with this one!].
    -start school at UT and study for my english/literature degree.
    -meet new, exciting, and absolutely lovely people.
    -have the opportunity to find a passionate, electrifying love.

    and on top of that, I plan on traveling, reading, writing, and enjoying myself as much as I possibly can. This is a year to grow and discover new things, to be wild and free, and to get my life started up the way I want it to be!

    <3 hillary · Jan 7, 02:39 PM · #

  23. aiieee, how lovely!

    i’m most looking forward to taking responsibility for my own damn self and making things happen, rather than just sitting back and waiting for opportunities to arrive at my doorstep and whinging when they don’t! POWER!

    <3 sophie~ · Jan 7, 02:40 PM · #

  24. I’m excited to bust out my camera. To buy lots of new shoes. To be one year closer to getting an apartment with my love. And most of all, to go to Japan!

    <3 Kristin · Jan 7, 02:40 PM · #

  25. i’m excited about going to bruges with my best friend. i’m excited about writing opportunities and getting a good job. i’m excited about learning new things and making new friends.

    <3 Tanie · Jan 7, 02:44 PM · #

  30. Things i am looking forward to in 2010 are hopping, skipping and jumping into motion! I plan to travel as much as my bank account can handle (which could include a kayak ride in Hawaii on New Years), helping people make themselves happy, and really just becoming a leaner, meaner, southern belle kitten with a whip!

    <3 Jess · Jan 7, 02:45 PM · #

  31. I am most excited about traveling. I am especially looking forward to taking more road trips!

    <3 Kasey · Jan 7, 02:46 PM · #

    <3 Dawn B · Jan 7, 02:47 PM · #

  33. I am super excited to finally be on my own for a while. I’m doing an internship at Disney World and will be leaving behind my boyfriend of 6 years, my family, and don’t forget my dog! I actually start driving tomorrow… I live in NY so it’s a bit of a drive… I know it’s going to be hard, but I feel like I can do this :)

    <3 Kelly · Jan 7, 02:47 PM · #

  34. scared of the big dreams I have for 2010, but excited for the little ones: excited to learn how to be more adult-lady-like and lovely — I feel like once you turn 20, you don’t have much of an excuse for acting like a baby anymore. excited to start my weekend baking/decorating experiments this semester with a close friend from school. excited to figure out relationships and hopefully enter new ones, with the RIGHT people this time around. excited to dress and look and speak in a way that makes ME feel good. hoping to live precious this year, instead of wading blindly through…

    <3 tiffany · Jan 7, 02:47 PM · #

  35. this year, i’m looking forward to turning a new leaf.
    +i’m working on my own happiness, knowing that it’s not just gonna fall into my lap, i have to go out and get it.
    +hopefully my jewelery & glitter art will keep me happy, and maybe make some sales.
    + volunteering with mentally challenged kids and adults

    <3 shannon · Jan 7, 02:49 PM · #

  36. I’m super excited about this year because of the things I want to achieve for myself. I spent the past few years just meandering, I have been happy but I wasn’t really achieving anything new.

    But now I have the best opportunity in exploring a relationship that I feel absolutely blessed with someone very special. We’re also going on an adventure together, he’ll be going to Brisbane for work and I’ll follow him. Of course, I’m not going with him just for the sake of the relationship but it’s definitely an adventure for me too, by travelling so far!

    So this year will definitely be full of adventure and many more surprises! Cheers everyone and may love, good health and success find you in this year!

    <3 Donna Vitan · Jan 7, 02:50 PM · #

  37. I’m finally letting myself do what I really want to do with my life this year! No more settling for anything or anybody!

    <3 Amy · Jan 7, 02:51 PM · #

  38. This year I am most excited to complete my wedding planning certification. :) I’m so excited! This has been my dream for awhile! Once I finish this I can move on to working on my college degree and then on to opening my business. :) So excited.

    <3 Nikitty · Jan 7, 02:52 PM · #

  39. i’m looking forward to getting over him. and i’ve come to realize i am beautiful, and that has taken me years to finally believe. I’m not perfect, and i screw up more than average, but my flaws are what make me who i am. and i’m learning to except them. i’m also now an official makeup arteest in training, yes arteest because it sounds way more glamorous than artist. haha I can’t wait to make people feel beautiful and change their perspective on themselves and the world around them.

    <3 BeccaMaire · Jan 7, 02:52 PM · #

  40. In 2010 I’m most excited about new beginnings; taking the steps necessary to make myself happy; getting that sparkly butterfly feeling from a certain someone; smiling and laughing as much as humanly possible.

    <3 Cassie · Jan 7, 02:54 PM · #

  41. ° Finally going to live on my own
    ° Or maybe with my bf

    <3 Musa · Jan 7, 02:55 PM · #

  42. I’m most excited about being able to get stuck into my fresh start, being able to live life to the full now I’ve sorted out the epic mess that it was. I’m looking forward the most to instigating that well known Latin phrase – Carpe Diem!

    <3 Rachel · Jan 7, 02:56 PM · #

  43. I love New Years! It is like a bonus birthday. I think it is important to constantly evolve in life and I like to think of the New Year as at time to shed the skin of last year and become new again, with of course all of your newly aquired wisdom and lessons and friends and love from the previous year. I look forward to the unknown and also up coming travels with my best friends one of whom is my super loving husband.

    <3 lucesco · Jan 7, 02:56 PM · #

  44. I’m establishing my independence in 2010. I’m going to liberate myself by getting a license, maybe my motorcycle license too! But also by actively participating in life. I plan to go to make a point to see more events in my own town. Make road trips, spread the happiness I feel in my heart around me to other people. I think everyone needs a blast of an inspiration machine. I think I can be that machine of hope, joy and bliss. Also to get over my fear of roller coasters. I’m really trying to move into my Sagittarius body. It makes me feel happy and whole to be adventurous.

    My revolution has already begun, and at age 26! (IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO EVOLVE, START NOW!) I’m kicking the year off right though by learning my sewing machine, cleaning out the houses, reconnecting with lost ties, and finding compassion within to forgive and forget.

    <3 Brandy · Jan 7, 02:58 PM · #

  45. I wrote a short poem on a napkin while waiting on a friend at a cocktail bar the other night.

    Eat less,
    Drink more.
    Always restless,
    Never bored.
    Less lovers,
    More friends.

    THAT is the magic I want to make happen in my life in 2010 and I’m very excited about it.
    xoxo

  48. 2009 was so difficult for our family. I lost my job, ended up in bed for months with depression and a bad back, and my mom was diagnosed with gallbladder cancer.
    I am so looking forward to 2010 being better, and I hope to be more positive this year. Mom’s cancer treatments are going well. I am getting better and better at baking and candy making.

    I look forward to being able to start my own business, move to southern california, and work at Disneyland in the Candy shoppe window. That is my ultimate job…now I need to make it happen.

    <3 Janie · Jan 7, 03:00 PM · #

  50. What I am most excited about is going to Mexico to see my grandparents for their 60th year anniversary! Last year was the first time I had gone back to see them in 20 years and I feel so lucky to be able to go again this year and celebrate with them! They have been blessed with 16 children & too many grankids to count!There is still a lot of family that I have yet to meet & I can’t wait… Guadalajara here I come in May 2010!!

    <3 Mayra · Jan 7, 03:00 PM · #

  51. oh! I am excited about Japan (planning and 99% sure am making the trip!) exhibitions and the unknown generally of the year – it’s all about making work, finding work, trying new things and overall I have good feelings about 2010!

    <3 confessions of a marc addict. · Jan 7, 03:06 PM · #

  54. The first thing that gets me going about 2010, is… that 2009 is finally over!
    (even though it didn’t have such a bad ending as I thought it would! so it gives me heads up for a really really nice 2010!)

    I’m looking forward to keep loosing pounds!(I lost +30 lbs last year!)

    I look forward to have a long term relationship (which I’d been looking for, for a long time, and after some months dating, girl&boy stepped up a notch of relationship status!)

    I hope to become a regular student by summer ends… Going to a massive concert, just after my birthday!Taking some cooking lessons

    <3 Rose · Jan 7, 03:07 PM · #

    <3 Julie · Jan 7, 03:07 PM · #

  56. I’m looking forward to working on my career! From looking for writing internships to perfecting my blog to designing my own business cards! I’ve had this vision FOREVER about how I wanted to start my career while I was still in school, and now that I just turned 20 I’m finally putting that plan into action. :)

    <3 Mandi · Jan 7, 03:07 PM · #

  57. I’m looking forward to changing. Pushing myself into situations that I’m uncomfortable in, such as any social interaction. Finishing school and starting some college classes. Getting my first job, I’m a little behind most people my age, and start saving money for me to move! I’m also looking forward to spending a lot of time with my new puppy.

    <3 Ashley Renee · Jan 7, 03:08 PM · #

  58. well, isn’t that just the dandiest ring ever?

    i’ve got so much to look forward to this year! last year, (two-thousand-and-fine, i’ve decided to refer it as from now until forever) was huge. i spent it in three different countries – australia (my home town), france (on exchange) and england (with my lover) – it was the most travelling i have ever done in a single year!

    so, keeping my the-next-year-must-ALWAYS-beat-the-last lifetime goal in mind, i’ve decided to hold back another year instead of going to uni (like my mother said i should have, straight after high school last year, ho ho, yah, right). but that doesn’t mean i won’t work hard. in 2011 i hope to apply for a fashion course, so this year means sewing and photographing like a wild thing in order to develop a brilliant portfolio.
    i’d also like to complete at least one novel a month, undertake a healthy, vegetarian diet and spend christmas with my boyfriend again.

    ambitious? not for a capricorn, no.

    <3 Michelle · Jan 7, 03:08 PM · #

  59. 2010 might just be the most exciting year of my entire life.
    I’m no longer battling my eating disorder, my depression is finally loosening its grip on me, I study what I love and after all the bad memories the last months of 2009 have shown that I too can make good memories. I’m finally trusting people and allow them into my lives. I’m setting boundaries that I did not set previously because I was scared they might hurt others. I now realise that it is okay to be single, that it allows me more time to find out who I am, and what I like to do.
    So that’s what I’m excited about in 2010: finally settling down and catching my breath and becoming the sparkling young female that has been hidden away inside me.

    Sorry if that sounds like an exaggeration, but it isn’t. This is how I truly feel :)

    <3 Lune · Jan 7, 03:09 PM · #

  60. This year could be the best year of my life so far and I just don’t know it yet. Maybe tomorrow I’ll step out the door and meet someone who will change my life. So I’m excited for everyday and the little things I will observe and learn that will change me.

    <3 Manda · Jan 7, 03:09 PM · #

  61. 2010 will be MY YEAR! This year I’m going to finally be able to leave my job and write, blog and take part general awesomeness every single day.

Every day of 2010 so far I have woken with a buzzing anticipation for what may be just around the corner! Yay-ser 2010! xxx

  70. As 2010 is the year of the Tiger my year I’m very excited for that as I think this year will be the year I’m that much closer to living the dream.

    I’ve been living in a shell for so long 2010 is the year I’m breaking out and travelling the world (already made big plans and booked some amazing experiences) and finding my place in the world and I finally living for one person me

    <3 Cate · Jan 7, 03:16 PM · #

  71. I’m most excited about the motion 2010 will bring. Moving back to New York permanently. Moving on with my alternate ending. Moving up in my career. Moving away from a life driven by my love for someone else and moving toward a life driven by my own passions, talents & creativity.

    <3 Alzy · Jan 7, 03:16 PM · #

  72. 2010 is a year of new beginnings for me. This December, I lost my job because my manager wouldn’t let me take time off work to go see my sick Grandpa for Christmas. Not a week later, my boyfriend & best friend left me, and we’re no longer speaking to each other.

    I’m currently taking a year off from school because I just graduated from high school and wanted to do a bit of soul searching before university. I’ve done a bit of searching and I’ll be heading off to school in the fall, hopefully.

    So what am I most excited for this year? Possibility! Despite being jobless, I moved out of my parents’ house. Now that I’m unemployed and single, there isn’t much tying me down to this place. I have just about every option in the world available to me right now; the possibilities are absolutely THRILLING. I can go explore the world, meet new people and remove the negative influences on my life. I can learn to love myself again.

    If that isn’t a reason to be up to my nose in glee, I’m not sure what is :P

  73. I’m excited to study again! I’m going to take classes in swedish, english and math (not so excited about the math thou :P) I’ve missed being a student.

    <3 Erika.plasticmuffin · Jan 7, 03:17 PM · #

    Also really looking forward to the summer and getting out more often!

  78. 2010 will really be the start of my life as far as i am concerned!

    I plan to do something that scares me every single day and write it down to look over at the start of 2011

    I will be turning 18 and starting university – and living 4 hours away from home for the very first time . I will also starting completly new with none of my current friends…

    I will also ditch my trademark blueblack hair for a far prettier turquoise :)

    Its a scary thought but my law degree will be worth it…i thrive on challenges, and when i qualify in 4 years time i can take over the world, one peice of legislation at a time :)

    xoxo

  79. I’m very excited about my overall attitude towards this year. I feel like whatever I do it will be fun. And fun is the least boring thing you can have! Magnificent!

    <3 Elina · Jan 7, 03:18 PM · #

  80. I’m looking foreward to my mother leaving for vacation and my boyfriend moving in for that week. We have Lord of the Rings marathon, bubble baths and sex in weird places around the house already all planned out!

    <3 Dasha · Jan 7, 03:20 PM · #

  81. I’m excited for 2010 because I’m building my own little family, similar to yours – I moved in with my awesome boyfriend, adopted a cat to keep me on the wagon (being something’s protector keeps me on the straight-and-narrow), filled the place with everything that I love and nothing that I don’t…it’s the first home that I don’t have to share with a stranger. It’s HOME, and a HOME is what I need.

    <3 E.Bleak · Jan 7, 03:22 PM · #

  82. I am totally and magnificently looking forward to finally living life in a way that will make me happy, rather than simply living to fulfil others’ expectations of me. This will involve: *The scary decision to quit uni and find a job- meaning that I feel in control and can study what I want, when I want. *Moving in with my BFF and his BF (less awkward than it sounds) in our house of awesomeness. *Overhauling la regime à la vegetalienne. Scrummers. *Dating guys who I like, rather than who like me and feeling flattered by it. *Being much more active in the animal rights movement. *Saving up for a Kitchenaid mixer. OH how i need it so!

  83. 2010, well, where to start? I guess I’m most excited that I have no idea what I’m going to do or be or who I’ll be with but that I have made one very important decision, which is that it’s my choice, my life and anyone who doesn’t like it, well, I’m sorry it might not be to your liking but that’s your deal, not mine.

    And that feels huge, and having so much scope is mind blowing, a bit scary but exciting. So c’mon 2010, we’re going to have an adventure and I’m so pleased I’ll have fantastic company like Gala et al. en route!

    <3 Little Plastic Dinosaurs · Jan 7, 03:22 PM · #

  84. I am looking forward to being debt free. I am going on a trip to visit my sister and mother in a month or two. I haven’t seen them in 2 years and I have missed them so much. My friend and I are going to take The Bus around the island (Oahu) just for the hell of it. I am going to try new foods, go on adventures, and make the best out of 2010.

    <3 Jenn · Jan 7, 03:22 PM · #

  85. Oh girl.. 2010 is a BIG year. Graduating college (finally!), preparing myself for the move to NYC in 2011, coming together as a savvy business woman and all in all reorganizing my life. And I’m excited for prospects, working with designers, new stylists, new models, bloggers (amazing individuals including yourself!) and much more… this year is bound to rock.

  87. 2010… has so much potential! I’m looking forward to tackling huge milestones. Buying my first place, getting a pet, enrolling in grad school, maybe another baby on the horizon…! My head is swimming with all these possibilities and I’m excited about each one. =]

    <3 Grace · Jan 7, 03:23 PM · #

  88. I’m excited about almost positively going to Disney World for the first time since I was 2, and crying my heart out that I’m actually there!

    <3 Darshana · Jan 7, 03:24 PM · #

  89. Oh wow, what a fantastic giveaway to start off the year with. As a bunny obsessee, I would be over the moon to win this! Either way though, I’ll be all over that shop! (Thanks for sharing!)

    What I’m looking forward to most this year is my study abroad trip this summer. It’s not 100% certain yet, but assuming I get selected to go, ... oh man, I just can’t even fathome how excited I’ll be. 4 weeks in Florence, Italy, and 3.5 weeks in Paris, France studying interior design. Excuse me while my dream comes true!

    <3 Krissy · Jan 7, 03:25 PM · #

    I am also planning on saving £15 per week this year, so that I can use my savings to make 2011 even more magical.

    <3 Alexandra · Jan 7, 03:29 PM · #

    <3 Ayesha · Jan 7, 03:30 PM · #

  95. i’m looking forward to having fun with my friends without the threat of a thesis to write looming over my head! and working all year to save money; 2011 i’ll be moving overseas to do (hopefully) a PhD, with (again, hopefully!) my girlfriend. scary but exciting.

    <3 nico · Jan 7, 03:30 PM · #

    <3 mynameisdavey · Jan 7, 03:31 PM · #

  98. What am I excited most about? I am most excited about the new found ability let my self be just rediculously glamourous every day, to approach each day with wonder and a hunger for adventure.And every day to ask “why not?” and just do it :)

    <3 Miss Heather · Jan 7, 03:33 PM · #

  99. This year I am finally graduating high school (!!!) and starting college in the fall. I’m also traveling to England and returning for the first time in almost ten years to Japan, where I was raised. I really can’t describe in words how much I’m looking forward to these things.

    <3 c.n. · Jan 7, 03:33 PM · #

  103. I am most excited to live my life for myself instead of other people. I’ve wasted too much time being miserable, so 2010 is MY year! The year of Angela!

    <3 Angela · Jan 7, 03:37 PM · #

  104. I’m most excited about studying in Scotland in 2010— I’m over the moon about exploring the ins and outs of it…

    <3 Sarah P. · Jan 7, 03:38 PM · #

  105. I am most excited about starting the rest of my life in 2010. It will be a year of big decisions and important milestones. Finishing my masters. Finding a job, starting my career. Moving in with my love and starting our life together…yup, that would be the best part I think. It almost feels like my life is just starting now…here we gooooo!

    <3 Amanda · Jan 7, 03:38 PM · #

  106. I am most excited about: – planning my wedding (I got engaged in November) – volunteering for a local pet rescue group I recently joined – eating better and exercising more (I know so cliche!)

    <3 Margaret · Jan 7, 03:42 PM · #

  107. I’m excited that my horoscope tells me that 2010 is my year to shine poetically and creatively! I’m saving up for a record player and really excited to start a record collection. Also, really looking forward to a trip to Berlin in late January.

    <3 Laura Murphy · Jan 7, 03:44 PM · #

  108. I am excited for the unknown. I will run into it with a smile.

    <3 Melissa · Jan 7, 03:45 PM · #

  109. I am most excited about starting a new job that relates well to what I studied and what I am passionate about, and how that contract is going to open more doors for me so I can really pursue writing full time as well as finally get back into acting and have the time to travel as I haven’t been able to for far too long. I will be heading to Chicago at some point and possibly NYC as well which I haven’t been to since 2006 so I can’t wait! I also will be completing my journey of getting totally healthy on the inside and out. 2010 is gonna be an amazing year!

    <3 Lisa · Jan 7, 03:45 PM · #

  110. I’m looking forward to surviving the next 8 months, which will be the hardest months I have faced in my entire life. I’m broke and my boyfriend just moved out of our apartment to go to school halfway across the country. So I’m alone with no money, no help, and bills to pay! But I’m going to survive, and once I make it through these 8 months I have fabulous times planned for myself, growing in my art and my life. I can’t wait.

    <3 Christina · Jan 7, 03:45 PM · #

  111. To sum it up in just one word: happiness. I am totally looking forward to happiness after 09 being a seriosly shite year.

    <3 Katta Kvack · Jan 7, 03:45 PM · #

  112. Last year I was very confused about school, love and life. I was unmotivated in classes, rarely made plans to see friends and family and very much affected by a break up. This year feels so much different (it really is two thousand and amen!) thanks to the guidance by the ones who love me the most (my family) and an amazing group of friends (my soulmates!). I feel like a completely different person and I can feel the changes already.

    <3 Esra · Jan 7, 03:45 PM · #

  113. I am most excited (and terrified) about not knowing what’s going to happen this year! So far most everything in my life has followed some sort of plan, but not this year!

    <3 Nyx · Jan 7, 03:46 PM · #

  114. i recently broke up with my live-in boyfriend of 2.5 years… i am looking forward to moving out and living by myself and learning how to be my own person again.
    there are so many possibilities- it’s bittersweet because although i am excited- i am sad about things that didn’t work out the first time around.

    i’m excited to start over and start my life again.

    <3 reindeerpizza · Jan 7, 03:46 PM · #

  115. I am going to learn about grace this year, how to turn twenty gracefully and how to be a gracious host and all sorts of things!

    <3 Jessica · Jan 7, 03:47 PM · #

  116. My words for 2010 are grow, be free, inspire, & savor…I think that pretty much sums up what I’m excited for in the coming year! And I am indeed SO excited for it.

    <3 Michelle · Jan 7, 03:47 PM · #

  117. For 2010 I am most hopeful that the Bone Marrow transplant that my husband will be receiving later this month will be completely successful and will cure his Leukemia. What I am most excited about is the prospect of finding a job after a very long year on unemployment and getting our lives back to some semblance of normal!

    <3 Michele · Jan 7, 03:48 PM · #

  118. I’m excited about starting my own business! I’m in the planning stages and don’t have the money together yet, but I finally have a solid plan to work from and I can’t wait to move forward now that I’m organized! I feel that I will truly own my own life when I am working for myself!

    <3 Emily · Jan 7, 03:49 PM · #

  119. I’m excited to meet my online best friend in real life, finally.

    <3 Abbey · Jan 7, 03:49 PM · #

  120. I am so excited about many things for 2010. 2009 was a huge year for me with getting engaged, having my bf as a roommate, graduating high school, starting college, getting my first car, drivers license etc. it’s going to be hard to top! but im totally excited to be enrolling into a photography program, hoping to take an italian class, wedding planning!!!, and to open an etsy shop to sell my photos as cards/prints etc. My fiance is quitting his job to go to school full time. he was in the navy and took a yr to work. I’m nervous about that because he doesnt get any of his housing benifits aka $$ until maybe march and will not be working! so that will be interesting b/c i don’t work either – to hectic wiht a 2yr old, puppy, and full time schooling, but i have faith and I’m not worried! I’m in such a great place in my life right now I can’t wait to see what else there is ahead.

    <3 Marissa · Jan 7, 03:51 PM · #

  121. I’m most excited about relaunching my portfolio under a new name with a whole new image and a new website. I think its time for a change.

    <3 Morgan · Jan 7, 03:51 PM · #

  122. My heart is positively bursting at the seams for this year! There’s so much I want to do and/or plan to do, it’s a bit overwhelming, but I’m so excited. My tummy does a little dance & my veins feel like fireworks just thinking about how everything is changing.

    This year, I’m going to be taking the SATs. I’m more than a little nervous, seeing as I recently found out I have ADD. For obvious reasons, I’m not the best at studying — I don’t think I’ve reviewed a piece of material at home since middle school. However, my burning desire to go to college has decidedly overwhelmed my desire to slack off academically. I’m completely devoted to creating better study habits and improving my concentration & organizational skills. I’ve been doing little things, but even after only a week, they’re starting to add up. I ‘m thrilled. I know if I keep trying I can do well on the SATs and go to my dream school. I know I have potential, and now I’m really going to use it & kick some nationally mandatory standardized testing ASS!

    As well as having ADD, I have Social Anxiety Disorder, which is just the rainbow sprinkles on top of the socially awkward sundae. For most of my life, I’ve been the weird kid, the crazy space cadet, the “sweet but quiet” girl. No more! This year I’m going to do some research on how to talk to people (no matter how pathetic it makes me feel), swallow my fear and try to reach out to more people outside my small circle of friends. It’s scary as hell for me, but I really do love talking to people despite how painful it can be sometimes, and I know if I don’t do it more I’ll regret not finding out if this kid or that girl could have been my best friend. There’s some amazing people at my high school, and I’ve resolved to be able to talk to them by the end of this year.

    As well as conquering this two biggies, on my agenda I also have: getting an after-school job, learning to drive & not damaging anything in the process, volunteering more, trying to connect with my stoic older brother before he leaves for med school, learning to play the ukulele (!), getting on the Honor Roll, watching more movies (I haven’t even seen Star Wars, whaaaaat?), learning to have more fun, genuinely laughing HARD every day, giving more sincere compliments to strangers, wearing more skirts & pretty clothes, growing my hair into a bob & learning to style it, as well as some other things I’ve probably forgotten.

    This is the first year where I’ve genuinely felt excited for what’s going to come to me. I’m certain that if I stay positive and fight like hell, I can make it happen. Despite all the weird shit my mind has thrown at me, I still know that life is beautiful & overflowing with possibilities, no matter how awful things might feel sometimes.

    So, in short, I’m excited for my life & I hope you’re excited for yours. :)

    Lovelovelove,

    Quinn

    <3 Quinn G · Jan 7, 03:52 PM · #

  123. I’m excited about being 18 years old! I can’t wait for my film production courses this coming semester at college, pursuing my potential love interest, and of course, discovering more and more about myself. xx

    <3 Charlotte · Jan 7, 03:53 PM · #

  124. I’m excited for my new blog, getting back into exercise (especially yoga!), and having a blast this summer developing my work and going to China with my family! I can’t wait to grow so much as a designer, thinker, and person. 2009 was fabulous for new discoveries; 2010 is the year to hone my findings until they shine and sparkle!

    <3 Tee · Jan 7, 03:54 PM · #

  125. I plan to fall in love with myself. Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes.

    I’ve always been harsh towards myself; compulsive exercising, anorexia, unhealthy obsession with high grades, unhealthy relationships… yup, I’ve been through them.

    My boyfriend of 9 months left me in 2009 out of the blue. I spent months wondering what I did wrong. I was so angry at myself, thinking I messed things up. I finally realized he was the one who messed things up.

    I just want to enjoy my life now. I’m studying architecture in a top university, so my schedule is rather hectic, but when I do have the time, I plan to run in the woods, take photos, read wonderful books, and eat delicious meals in bed. And if I find someone special on the way, that would be great too. :-)

    <3 Hala · Jan 7, 03:54 PM · #

  126. I’m excited for: *starting college! *meeting new people! *having the ability to drive now so I can go where I want, when I want this year and NO ONE CAN STOP ME! *being able to spend as much time with all my loved ones as possible — this summer is going to be effing awesome *making this year the best I’ve ever had

    <3 Sarah Frost · Jan 7, 03:57 PM · #

  127. 2010 will be the year when I finally come into my own after many tribulations.

    <3 Claire Obscure · Jan 7, 03:59 PM · #

  128. Starting university! -scream with delight/complete and utter fear.

    Also, turning the big 1-8 in summer ;) I’m looking forward to summer generally actually :) Parties and camping and gigs and beach days (providing we get some semi-decent weather) and going on holiday and going out and just general fun times. Oh and prom!

    I’m looking forward to meeting new people and hopefully meeting someone special (we can dream haha). It’s gonna be a big year and I can’t wait :D xoxoxo

    <3 Gemma · Jan 7, 03:59 PM · #

  129. Going to art school, becoming happier and happier with myself, developing closer connections with the women in my life, and hopefully going back to Burning Man!

    <3 Anne · Jan 7, 04:00 PM · #

  130. Looking forward to getting out my dreams, aliveness, and wild unforeseen adventures, smiles, hugs, and kisses.

    <3 Adrianna · Jan 7, 04:02 PM · #

  131. I’m excited to leave everything, move across country and start a new life!

    <3 Hannah · Jan 7, 04:03 PM · #

  132. This year, I am looking forward to getting rid of negative people. It’s not worth it to be upset for a day, an hour, a minute because someone is rude or complaining or mean. Why spend a moment on negativity when there is so much positive?

    <3 Tegan · Jan 7, 04:04 PM · #

  133. I’m soooo excited about moving in with my boyfriend! I finally won’t have to travel 1000km from Copenhagen to Helsinki to kiss him goodnight or give him a cuddle! I’m also extremely excited about (hopefully) learning to speak a little Finnish! It’s the craziest language ever! ;)
    Hurray for 2010!!

    <3 Lauramaki · Jan 7, 04:05 PM · #

  134. Most excited: after three years I’m returning to South Africa to finally see the friends I made again. But that’s not it! I’m going with a crew and we’re going to build a small hospital. I felt like a superhero when we heard that we have all the necessary papers and stuff.

    <3 V · Jan 7, 04:05 PM · #

  135. I am most excited about going on a hooping tour through Europe in the summer, graduating with my BA in philosophy, a more elaborate Burning Man, my birthday falling on Chinese New Year (I’m a year of the rabbit girl by the way!), getting my motorcycle license, getting more into film, where I’m going with my yoga and dietary habits, all the amazing sketches I plan on sewing this year, and all the adventures and whirlwind romance along the way!

    <3 Rachel Radness! · Jan 7, 04:05 PM · #

  136. This year I am most excited about reinventing my style ever so slightly. Accessories are now an essential!

    <3 Jennifer · Jan 7, 04:06 PM · #

  137. I’m excited about the challenges ahead in my work and about pouring my heart and soul into the dream I have of writing a couple of blogs part time. I’ve already written down what I want to achieve and some things I need to do along the way to do it so I know I can do it.

    <3 Ras · Jan 7, 04:07 PM · #

  138. i’m looking forward to wrapping up the first productive year in my career, vacation planning, and to refocusing on what makes me happy.

    <3 Melissa · Jan 7, 04:07 PM · #

  139. I’m looking forward to a massive overhaul in all things!! Namely a style change, which I’ve been slowly integrating into my wardrobe since last year. (This girl doesn’t do well with sudden change) I will be going to New York for the second time in October (!!) and I’m trying to be more positive in the way I see myself and my school work; I want to push the boundaries a little more. This new semester and year is full of opportunities & I intend to go after them! :}

    <3 Laura · Jan 7, 04:08 PM · #

  140. Doing what I want, in the most selfish and lovely way, no matter what. I will make my own decisions and be happy for them &in turn, everyone I love will be happy, too.

    <3 MaDonna · Jan 7, 04:09 PM · #

  141. I’m excited to be in my new house, and to make it happy and beautiful. I’m also hoping to find more of myself, and to be able to let go of what I no longer need. But I’m especially excited to continue to learn more of ATS belly dance, which makes me feel like women are the most amazing things ever and that our hips could rule the world. :)

    <3 Noelle · Jan 7, 04:10 PM · #

  142. Gala,

    Let me just say that 2010 has me VERY excited for a number of reasons. I’ve written a couple of posts on my goals and making them come into fruitition is going to be a very fun experience!

    All this aside, I am MOST excited about losing weight. Now, I know this is a cliche but for fluffy people like me, this is an absolutely life changing event!

    For too long, I’ve been too self conscious to let my radiance shine through. I am a lover of fashion, yet I can’t practice what I preach due to my size. I want to love, but in order to do so, I must love myself. I certainly don’t hate myself, but I’d love to really feel comfortable in my own skin!

    This may or may not be something that a lot of the nonpareil’s can relate to, but in the day and age being fluffy can be hard to get away from. So I am super excited that I am finally taking the steps to a healthier life and a more beautiful body!

    Im pretty exited for you too! India sounds absolutely divine quite literally, and I am swooning over the fact that you’re going! India is most definitely one of the places I’d love to go see before I move on to the next adventure!

    Much Love,

    Crysti

  143. ☆~ Because I ended 2009 at the lowest point in every parts of my life. Because 2010 is – really – a new beginning. Because Saturn has finally lost it’s grip on me, phewww! Because I’m starting a new job and going back to school. Because I’m regaining my health, softly but surely (Yoga power!). Because I’m moving in a new chez-moi filled with light and things dear to my heart. Because I’m learning to live in the moment and to see magic in every little moments. Because there is finally Love in my life and that he calls me Soft-Water Bunny! Oui, oui, for real! :D ~☆
    Love and light,

  145. I’m so excited to make this year different than previous years – more raw food, more love, more travel, more adventure, more career awesomeness. In fact, I just took your “Make career magic” statement, wrote it on an index card and taped it above my desk.

    Thanks, Gala!

    <3 Moose · Jan 7, 04:13 PM · #

  146. Lately I’ve realized that I’m a chameleon. I adapt to the personalities of people around me, which is why I get along with everyone. I take on their personalities so they like me, because if I don’t like myself, I can’t very well expect anyone else to. In 2010, I’m going to grow into an individual. I’m going to plant the seeds of independence, uniqueness, and eccentricity and cultivate them for the rest of my life. They’ll never wither, because if 2009 taught me anything, it’s that the trick to leading a good life isn’t being surrounded by people who love the fake me, and it sure as hell isn’t constantly changing myself to be someone I’m not. Rather, the trick to leading a good life is loving myself and finding the people who love the real me. My mom once wrote to me, “Jump into life with both feet and scream and hang onto anyone who wants to jump with you”. That is what I’m really, truly excited to do in 2010 and every subsequent year for the rest of forever.

  147. SEIZING THE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

    <3 Sarah · Jan 7, 04:16 PM · #

  148. I’m excited to finally get the SATs over with! And then traveling to New Jersey.

    <3 Emily · Jan 7, 04:17 PM · #

  149. I look forward to reading iCING. Is that terribly cheesy? I don’t mean it to be. I look forward to buying myself new clothes and to getting a job and doing what is meant to be my hardest year of school and to turning 16!

    I’m excited to flutter my eyelashes at the guy I am attracted to (and do not like), dragging my friends into questionable situations, starting a club in my kitchen and to Bones starting up again.

    I’m excited to hopefully fly down to Melbourne, to another 365 days of brushing my teeth, to buying an endless amount of nail polish and using it to colour in my drawings of mermaids.

    And, of course I’m excited to smile and laugh and be alive, but that goes without saying.

    (:

    <3 Tegan (but not the same Tegan above who has an account and is excited about moving in with her boyfriend, although I wonder if she would like to swap lives as moving in with a boyfriend sounds a lot more exciting then catching one *winkwink*) · Jan 7, 04:17 PM · #

  150. I can’t wait to: start my new job next week (hoorah, more writing), get a Russian doll tattoo, take belly dancing classes with two of my best friends (fingers crossed for a taut tummy by 2011!), drink Riesling in the sun at Te Kairanga later this month, become a red-head again, see Lady Gaga live (ooh la la), read The Time Traveller’s Wife (thank you Santa), and most importantly, visit my wife-for-life in the UK and travel to wonderful, far flung places with her.

    Happy 2010! X

  152. Let me see. I just can’t wait to make a new me. Hopefully this means that I will not be losing my USB drive every month like I have been since September. I’m looking forward to baking fun (just made a batch of marble cupcakes!) and I want to finish writing my book this year. Maybe I can get an agent next year? Fingers crossed :)

    <3 Camillia · Jan 7, 04:23 PM · #

  153. I am most excited for my sister’s wedding! Should be a blast with all my family. I’m also excited for all the great memories that I will make this year- I think the things that you don’t see coming are some of the best moments in life!

    <3 Brandy · Jan 7, 04:26 PM · #

  154. I am most excited about following my dreams in 2010 and not allowing other people’s fears and worries hold me back. I’ve spent too much of my life saying no and allowing fear to take over, but 2010 is the beginning of MY life! Plus I’m learning to make my own clothes! xo

    <3 Niamh · Jan 7, 04:26 PM · #

  155. Things I am looking forward to:
    -continuing to release old patterns that once helped, but no longer serve me

    -taking NIA class, becoming healthier and happier and letting my body emerge from all the stress its been under the last two years…

    -embracing renewal and finding my path!

    <3 Kaz · Jan 7, 04:33 PM · #

  160. This year I can’t wait to have my own house, discover new things about myself, meet new people, find old friends, go on wild adventures, and find someone crazy enough to join me.

    <3 TJ · Jan 7, 04:37 PM · #

  163. Hello everyone!
    I’m stoked for 2010. I will be taking a trip to Italy (Rome, Assisi, Pompeii!, Isle of Capri..) over my spring break! Absolutely thrilled.
    Plus, this is the year I finally graduate from high school! Leaving my old school/past behind me is looking better and better every day. I plan on starting at college this fall as well!
    I will be going on a couple smaller, but still excellent, trips over the summer. And of course, I’ll be working at my part time job as much as I can! I’ve got to fund my education somehow. :)

    <3 Meredith · Jan 7, 04:37 PM · #

    <3 sara · Jan 7, 04:39 PM · #

  167. So many things, getting my dreadlocks, 16th birthday, almost-endless summer days…

    But I’d have to say, the thing I’m most excited for in 2010 is finishing high school, and starting college. I guess I never enjoyed high school at all, so it’s kind of like breaking free, seeing as college will have a lot less regulations. And plus, I’ll be able to move out if neccassary without the police bringing me back ;)

    <3 Jaye · Jan 7, 04:41 PM · #

  168. I’m excited about so much: getting in the best shape of my life, weddings, maybe trying for baby #2, and the overall sense of major impending changes really excites me. Also, watching my daughter explore and grow is the most exciting thing. Ever.

    <3 mj · Jan 7, 04:41 PM · #

  169. I’m excited because I’m using this year to get healthy and overcome my eating disorder once and for all. My heart is in the right place, I’ve taken some time off school to focus on health and I’m ready to rocket into the unknown world of self-confidence and health!

    <3 Kara · Jan 7, 04:42 PM · #

    <3 Eeshis · Jan 7, 04:43 PM · #

  173. I’m psyched for all the new abundance coming into my life in 2010. I made some quick changes at the end of 2009 which made a huge difference in my body and now I’m just tweaking my mind and it’s so exciting!

    <3 Carolee · Jan 7, 04:44 PM · #

  174. I’m excited for everything, for myself. i am excited for the surprises that await me this coming year…as my niece would say..‘Alright, Captain!’

  175. Most excited about: being open to new relationships, feeling confident in my image (AND confident enough to change it), hearing back from med schools

    Least excited about: “ngghhhhh-what-I-am-gonna-do-this-summer”, hearing back from med schools

    2010’s gonna be a ride.

    <3 Cassandra · Jan 7, 04:49 PM · #

  176. I am looking forward most to graduating and going to college in 2010. No matter where I go, I know I’ll be in the right place, because I am in love with every single school I applied to; speaking of which, I’m SO excited to get my letters in the spring!!

    Last year with my boyfriend was so incredibly wonderful, and it was only the beginning of our relationship; I know it can only get better from here, because we’ve been dealing with the long distance thing for awhile now and it’s only made us stronger. I love him so much and I can’t wait for every single instance this year when I get to see him.

    This summer I plan on working three jobs, and I’m actually looking forward to it, because I live and work on Nantucket Island in the summer. To me, it’s the most beautiful place on earth, and on top of it I’ll have free lodging and making loads of money. 2010 is going to be the BEST YEAR EVER! Thank you for making my 2009 so rich and wonderful.

    <3 Liza Paradis · Jan 7, 04:49 PM · #

  177. I’m most excited about… finishing what I started and losing the last 10 pounds, meditating daily, and absolutely loving it, finally getting settled in my new apartment, going to France for a week in June to play gypsy jazz, finally getting some exposure as a musician, crazy summer music fests, and spending the rest of my summer continuing to earn my bachelors degree with the intention of ultimately finishing the program in half of the average time. :D

    <3 Lolli · Jan 7, 04:51 PM · #

  178. I’m excited about travelling to Bangkok next month and meeting up with my best friend whom I haven’t seen in 5 years.

    <3 Stina · Jan 7, 04:53 PM · #

  179. I am most excited about finally being out of school. College has been so torturous and messy for the longest time, and even though my parents are very opposed to my dropping out of school, I feel this is the best thing for me, and I am so relieved and happy that the whole thing is finally over. Further to that I am excited about this particular job I am eyeing (the interview is this Sunday) and I really hope I get it! I am really looking forward to paying off my student loans (with the spanking new job I am hoping for) and being debt-free, and finally starting my life, away from the books, the stifling system and the disapproving looks of my parents. I really feel very relieved and free right now, like my life can go in so many different directions, and the possibilities that lay ahead excite me to no end! I have not felt excited about life in a really, really long time!

    <3 Ifana · Jan 7, 04:54 PM · #

  180. 2010 is my transition year. I quit my 6 figure job late last year in exchange for walking dogs and teaching yoga. I’m looking forward to learning to live a simple and happy life.

    <3 Alison Kelly · Jan 7, 04:54 PM · #

  181. What I’m most excited about in 2010 is my relationship. We’ve been together for 2 years and in September I’m going to Paris to live there for 6 months. I am so excited because I know that it will be a great experience and because I know that everything will be ever the same with him: we love each other :) Sometimes I think we are a little crazy (we are eighteen) because we think about buying houses and having children in the future too often. I’m very happy with him and I’ll be happier in 2010!

    <3 Cristina · Jan 7, 04:58 PM · #

  182. Finishing my dissertation and moving down to New York to be with my sweetie – so excited! Beyond that, I’m super excited about getting healthier and having more fun in my life – the essentials, really.

  190. The Nexus one (that was for my man)!! Democracy in Hong Kong, meeting my boyfriend’s family, the 4 day road trip to go meet his family, moving into my new and cheaper apartment – (here’s to saving 3 grand a year!!! WOOT!!), watching my puppy become a dog, spring, summer, fall and winter, hiking new trails on Sunday mornings, the smell after it rains in August, actions and cosequences, trial and error, taking photos, watching new artists rise, discovering new motivating idividuals, finding more music to fall in love with, learning to play guitar, making new memories with new and old friends, watching people succeed and make something of themselves, optimism, sarcasm, watching the down and out turn their lives around, suprising people, giving gifts, cheering up strangers that are in need of a good laugh, teaching people its ok to open up and not shut the world out, Here’s to twenty ten!!!!

    <3 Kristina · Jan 7, 05:03 PM · #

  193. There’s no one thing that I am specifically excited for…but one work describes all of the things I am looking forward to in 2010, and that is CHANGE – although LIFE might be just as accurate ;o)

    <3 jess · Jan 7, 05:08 PM · #

  194. I’m most excited about developing myself in the theatrical industry side-by-side with my best friend, who also happens to be my boyfriend.

    <3 Emcee Morgan · Jan 7, 05:08 PM · #

  195. I am excited about life in general for 2010. After not living fully in 2009 and doing things that were not making me happy, I am glad to be back for 2010. I am finally learning how to play guitar and have decided to major in Photography. 2010 WILL be awesome :)

    <3 Erin B, · Jan 7, 05:09 PM · #

  196. Flying around the country to visit very old friends, decorating my new apartment with unicorns, and falling in love with my new man!

    <3 sarah · Jan 7, 05:10 PM · #

  197. What I’m most excited for is something I’ve looked forward to since I was eight. I get to grow up, leave mom and dad, and start fresh at college. I’ve considered myself ready for the life-changing experience since a young age, but now that it is on my doorstep I feel ill prepared. The most exciting, thrilling, and daring thing of my life is also the most nerve-racking. I’m even graduating a year early in order to accomplish this dream 10 years in the making. Even through my hesitation, I will trek on and hopefully survive this journey. In the end that’s all that really matters :)

    <3 Shelby · Jan 7, 05:10 PM · #

  198. I’m excited about..

    Continuing school for Graphic Design.
    Possibly maybe hopefully seeing MUSE in concert. AHH! Finally! :)

    <3 DanaBelle · Jan 7, 05:11 PM · #

  199. The thing I am most excited about is moving to Auckland next month and starting the sign language program up there. Being an interpreter has been my dream for ages. I am also excited for all the new friends I will meet and all the fun times to be had. Oh and getting to see my brother for the first time in 2 years in November!

    <3 Rachael · Jan 7, 05:11 PM · #

  200. Hi Gala! You’re such an inspiration! Happy new year!

    What I’m most excited about is that this is the year where I do and make everything that I’ve ever wanted to do. It is the year of doing, and not of only thinking and wishing. This year I come out of my bubble, I let the world see me; I love the world; I grow and evolve; I make huge and amazing changes; and I accomplish my goals. Thanks to you I understood that I don’t have to follow trends if I don’t want to, and that I can mix several colors, that I like cardigans and cupcakes too, and that I can be my own source of inspiration if I just get on my feet and do/make stuff!

    Thank you for all the inspiration that you give, you’re amazing for having done everything you’ve done already, for making changes in your life, for being happy! You’re awesome girl =) Thank you!

    =) =* Hugs and kisses

  202. This year I plan to get a new job and save up enough money to go road tripping this summer. I am making it a priority to find love(!) and to be more open to possibilities around me. I’m improving my art with a handful of classes and blogging more. I’m so excited about all these things on top of my new look I have planned and new friends I’ve made in the last few months. This year is gonna be a big one.

    <3 Case · Jan 7, 05:14 PM · #

  205. Through a crazy sequence of events in the last two years, I ended up homeless. I’ve been living on a boat with no electricity, kitchen or shower for over a year. I’m super excited about 2010 because I truly believe this is the year that I will have a home again! Fresh baked pies, twinkling fairy lights & showers for everyone!!

  211. I’m excited about the unknown! I’m hoping 2010 will bring challenges and happiness in abundance – and the best bit is how it will unfold!

    <3 Chloe · Jan 7, 05:21 PM · #

  212. I’m more excited this year about learning about myself. My personal relationships have been getting better, my professional life, career has been going great too, both have required a lot of work. Even tho I haven’t been involved with a lover for a while, I’m not desperated to do so.

    I’m motivated to keep working on my relationships with my friends and family, and even more on my work, which I just love: designer, illutrator, photographer.

    I’ve finally, after years and years of struggle, managed to stay positive, push myself to live more and more, go out every day with the people I love and “get exited, make things”. The depression can still put me down but I don’t let it stop me anymore. I’ve known things depend on your own, it’s all up to you. But to know and to practice and feel are two very different things.

    2010, I wouldn’t say it’s the beggining of this new journey on my life, it’s the follow-up of something that started a few months ago. Might as well take the chance to let you know, Gala, how inspiring you are.

    And even tho I’m male, and I might not fit for the prize, I thought I’d take the time to let you know how inspiring you are, and how much you’ve helped me without knowing.

    Here’s to you, me and everyone else, for an amazing, fun and above all things stay-positive-and-alive 2010!

  217. I am so excited to be going off to college! I can hardly wait to throw myself into the biggest creative project ever: reinventing myself and manifesting all my favorite things in this earth as a career path. I’m excited to dig into art history and to spend as much of my free time making friends from all over the world, chatting it up in spanish and dancing to my favorite foreign pop stars. I am excited to get dressed every morning, and excited to wear vintage skirts with my new combat boots. 2010, I’ve been waiting for you!

  222. The 2 things i’m most excited about are:
    A. the boy who i have, approximately, the worlds biggest crush on is coming home from california in exactly one week! he’s only staying for 4 days. i plan on him asking me to marry me – just kidding – but we’ll probably cuddle at least once.
    B. applying and eventually getting a great job that will finally begin my actual CAREER. not just a job! dieticians ftw

  223. I’m looking forward to heading off for a holiday in Thailand! And also looking forward to but also a little nervous about starting uni :)

    <3 Lisa May · Jan 7, 05:26 PM · #

  224. I’m excited for babies, for travel, for art, for writing, for health, and for loving my life!

    <3 ellie · Jan 7, 05:27 PM · #

  225. I look forward to moving country, seeing my amazing boyfriend again (its been 2 months :( ), going to Bali and Thailand and riding Elephants on the beach at sunset. Ahhh sigh. Such a good year to be :D

    <3 Nadezhda Sim · Jan 7, 05:28 PM · #

  226. This whole year is exciting!!
    Things are HAPPENING this year, its in the air and everyone seems to feel it.
    i’m most excited about being in love and being loved back, still! 2 years!
    i’m excited about my studies, this time they are really something i find interesting.
    i’m excited by all the potential of this year, just thinking about the possibilities of travel around Europe and seeing shows and maybe summer festivals and swimming in lakes, all gives me the most delicious shivers.
    i’m excited about moving forward with my life; consciously, with gratitude, openness and cheerfulness!
    moving out, and all that entails: waking up with my love, cooking and baking in our own place, having room to set up our instruments and my painting stuff, falling asleep together…

    it’s difficult to find something i’m NOT excited about this year :)

    thank you Gala :*

  227. This year, I am super-excited about so many things, launching my own product line on my blog, saving money so CDH and I can emigrate to Germany, starting our German language classes, brewing my own alcohol, and – most of all – signing my first ever novel contract with a major publisher. Arrrrgh! :)

    <3 Steff Metal · Jan 7, 05:28 PM · #

  228. I’m most excited about forgiving myself, letting it all go, and finally being myself and stop giving a care. :D

    <3 Alliy · Jan 7, 05:29 PM · #

  229. I’m excited (and slightly terrified) about finishing Uni and securing a fantastic job opportunity, making the most of what might be my final year in Melbourne, and the birth of my favorite cousin’s baby (first dibs on godmother!)

    <3 nessbow · Jan 7, 05:30 PM · #

  230. The thing I am looking forward to in 2010 is spending oodles and oodles of time with my 90 year old grandpa. I am moving in with him and my parents in Feb & I plan on tapping his brain for any and all stories he has to share. The older generations have so much wisdom, experience, knowledge, etc to pass on and it truly is one our most valuable assets. :)

  231. I’m so excited about living, loving and learning. I can’t wait to finally break out of my parents nest, and follow my own yellow brick road into the big bad world! I’m talking about travelling (India, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, here I come!); falling more in love, not only with the most perfect man of my dreams, but learning to love myself just as much, and finally, finishing my Art Foundation course at college in preparation for a lifelong love affair with costume creation for the weird, wonderful and whimsical!

    <3 Emma · Jan 7, 05:30 PM · #

  232. Cute ring! Reminds me of Donnie Darko. I’m most excited about /the possibilities/ of 2010. :)

    <3 Annie Spandex · Jan 7, 05:32 PM · #

  233. Becoming a real life Super Villain.

    <3 Crystal · Jan 7, 05:32 PM · #

  234. I am incredibly excited about my last semester of college and finally getting to graduate in Fashion Design. I feel like the world is at my fingertips, and I will be able to go anywhere and do anything! Hopefully by fall I will be able to make the big move from Texas to NYC!

    <3 Zombee · Jan 7, 05:36 PM · #

  235. I am excited about organizing my physical space, which will help organize my mind. Efficiency leads the way to productivity, which opens the door to progress. I am trying to tackle the root, and I feel like I’m growing up. I’ve been waiting for years for things to change on their own, for life to become what I expect, but I’ve got to make my own change and the simple act of organizing myself, preparing, feels like the first step.

    <3 Angela · Jan 7, 05:41 PM · #

  236. I am so very excited about 2010!!! I am finnally free of all emotional attachments to hurtful people and crumbling relationships! everything is magically fresh and fantasticly new! I just want to run and jump for joy im constantly thanking God for all hes givin me, my new found hope, joy, and confidence! I know its gonna be alright!! Soon im getting a nifty new job and i will be able to support myself and take proper care of my body (trips to the salon,gym membership and vitamin supply here i come Im so excited about this new year sometimes it hurts!!!

I am armed with the armour of God, a few diffrent anthems by The Killers and Jack’s Mannequin,with alittle bit of luck(possibly from a fabulous lucky rabbit ring! and i can take on the world!

    <3 Queen Emma · Jan 7, 05:42 PM · #

  237. There’s so many things! Traveling home to see my family and go see U2 for my brother’s big 20th birthday (he’s getting old!), or just random travels that are being planned with the boyfriend to all over the place… Regardless, I’m looking forward to LIFE!!!

    <3 Tiffany · Jan 7, 05:43 PM · #

  238. It sounds odd but the thing I’m looking forward to the most in 2010 is the end. I have so much planned that I think the greatest thing will be sitting back and viewing all that I’ve achieved and being VERY VERY proud.

    <3 Jonnieette · Jan 7, 05:47 PM · #

  239. In 2010 I am excited to make the most of my last semester in college. I want to worry less about bureaucratic troubles and take the time to craft my calm and eccentric self so that I can be fully prepared to go teach English in France in October (fingers crossed!). <3

    <3 Alex · Jan 7, 05:47 PM · #

  240. I’m most excited about…the feeling that anything can happen. The start of a new year is always magical because you can say, “This year will be different!” – and really make a headstart in believing it. I’m all about intentions, and so…I’m most excited about 2010 because of the potential every day will bring!!

    <3 Anna · Jan 7, 05:51 PM · #

  241. I’m most excited about going back to Europe with my love at some point this year. I went backpacking on my own last July and can’t wait to return

    <3 Rebecca · Jan 7, 05:51 PM · #

  242. So cute!
    I am most excited about my resolution to eat a gluten-free diet full of veggies and mostly vegan deliciousness!

    <3 Jenny · Jan 7, 05:52 PM · #

  243. I am most excited about this year because:

    I have known I need to get better grades, so I have started working at it more and hopefully I will be where I want with that this year.

    I am also excited, because this year I will be 16 – and then I get to drive… which will be the shiz. And of course, with being 16 then I can go out and get a job. Whiiiich, could be ‘exciting’ I guess. Lolz!

    I do need to start getting things in order, and plan more. So I am going to start working on that, which is going to make everything soooo much better.

    AND – I’m excited that I’m in the 200’s for comment. I’ve never been down that far. O_O! Sarcasm

  244. I remember being in the sixth grade, walking to the bay at the end of my street, and sitting on the sand for hours staring at the New York skyline. It’s been my dream to live in Manhattan for almost as long as i can remember. Even to the extent that when people would ask “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I would say “a New Yorker”. Today, I received a letter of acceptance in the mail for Marymount Manhattan College and I think my soul became a little more complete. Come September I’ll be living and going to college in the city that makes me feel like magic.

    <3 chelsea · Jan 7, 05:52 PM · #

  245. Oh, I’m excited about so many things! I can’t wait to go to London this spring and go crazy in the stores. I’m also very excited about studying something else (made the wrong choice this semester)) and finally trying to live a little more than all those other years. I’ve always lied to myself and others about who I am and now I’ve decided to just stop;-) This is going to be the most amazing year ever and I would love to live that year with this cute bunny on my finger!

    <3 anywheredreams · Jan 7, 05:53 PM · #

  246. You’re going to India!! I’m exited for you, haha.
    And for myself, I’m going to South America to teach some kids to juggle, then hopefully I will end up by living in Argentina. In the meantime, I’m going to set up a business, learn Spanish, finish my novel and live live live. It’s a shame that text can’t convey the squeeee sound my heart makes when I think about the coming year! Reading everyone else’s plans and excitements is just the most inspiring thing!
    xx

    <3 Amelia Jane · Jan 7, 05:53 PM · #

  247. In 2010, I’m excited at the prospect of moving in with my lovely boyfriend, getting fit and enjoying exercise again, and being able to put away a little money in my savings account. Most of all I’m looking forward to finally allowing myself to relax and have fun.

    <3 Lauren · Jan 7, 05:54 PM · #

  248. This year I am full of super-stokage to be on my final year of my degree, happy and healthy, with the most caring and handsome man I could ever hope for.
    I am trembling with excitement about packing our separate belongings into big brown boxes and having them mingle when opened into a space neither mine nor his, but ours
    I look forward with the utmost glee to actually realising my dream of throwing it all in and becoming a florist, and am charmed that the wheels are already in motion.
    I cannot wait to see through another wonderful year surrounded by people I love and admire (and, of course, my minx of a pussycat), and am truly proud of all we’ve achieved together.

    Here’s to another year of love.

    <3 Miss Bea the Lover · Jan 7, 05:58 PM · #

  249. In 2010, i am excited to LET GO. 2009 was a piss & vinegar kind of year and 2010 will be a year of growth and love through travel and education!

    <3 kelly · Jan 7, 05:58 PM · #

  250. I’m super excited because I’m going to work harder for my PhD. I’ve been in school since September but not really giving it my all, so now I’m going into overdrive to make up for it, and the more I’ve worked the more enjoyable I’ve found the work! If only I knew this months ago.

    I’m also excited to be a bridesmaid for the first time (at the age of 23)!

    And I’m also also also excited because I’ve found a boy and he’s found me. x

    <3 Nicola · Jan 7, 05:59 PM · #

  251. I’m excited about my photography class that starts in less than a week!

    <3 Edith · Jan 7, 05:59 PM · #

  252. There are so many things to look forward to this year! Next month I will be celebrating my 22nd birthday at an amazing Tea House(tea infused cocktails anyone?). I can’t wait for this semester to start so that I can be that much closer to getting my next degree. I’m also working on a new feature for my blog that incorporates my mini travels. I’m also excited about the people I’ll meet and the adventures I’ll have. Here’s to 2010!

    <3 Emily · Jan 7, 06:00 PM · #

  253. Okay, just thinking about this makes me rather giddy with the expectations I have of 2010. What I am most excited about is… finishing school, and everything that that implies. This past year and this one that will follow only mean thinking about the future and what will I do with my life after finishing with school. Finding the purpose of my life, that is what I am most excited about. Perhaps not the purpose of my life — I’m still quite young to be that ambitious — but getting closer to it step by step.

    Pursuing what I have just discovered is my true passion (oh dear goodness, I am so incredibly excited): books, reading, English, all sorts of literature. Oh dear goodness. Being excited about how after this year (which I know will be FANTASTIC) the routes my life will take will be made by my decisions only. Yearning to turn my life into one such that I will wake up everyday wanting to live my life fully. You know. Instead of grumbling of being awoken by the alarm clock, jumping out of bed because each day is spent with things that fill me spiritually.

    <3 Sharon · Jan 7, 06:01 PM · #

  254. I am most excited about falling in love with my husband all over again…..for at least another year :)

    <3 Crystal · Jan 7, 06:06 PM · #

  255. I am excited for the summer! I might be able to go to Japan for the first time. Amongst that I am also finally getting a place of my own, I can’t wait to decorate it!

    <3 Veronica · Jan 7, 06:07 PM · #

  256. I am excited to go to college, move to another city, and go to Paris in 2010.

    <3 Anna · Jan 7, 06:07 PM · #

  257. I’m most excited about possibly moving to London to start a postgrad course, and at the same time I’ll be moving much closer to my boyfriend!

    <3 Sammi · Jan 7, 06:08 PM · #

  258. Two thousand and amen! I’m excited about living by myself in Sydney, having sleepovers with my wonderful Matt, independance, my job, eating gluten free chocolate cake for breakfast and spending my entire pay check on rent and clothes! Love

    <3 Emily · Jan 7, 06:09 PM · #

  259. I most look forward to getting a job. The recession hit hard and I have been out of work for over a year. I know there are people in worse situations than me so I’m eternally grateful to my friends and family for putting up with my poorness.
    The only thing I buy for myself is tampons :P

    For me 2010 will be a year for learning and growing. I find your blog very inspirational. x

    <3 Karen · Jan 7, 06:09 PM · #

  260. I’m excited for 2010 being a better year. Last year was hell for me and I’m so fortunate that I am still here to actively make my years from this point on better. 2010 has already thrown a few curve balls my way but this year I’m not planning on not letting those things get me down but being proactive in living my life, I’m learning a new language, applying for more courses with my degree, getting healthier and hoping to gain my independence a little more.

    <3 Katrina · Jan 7, 06:12 PM · #

  261. I’m excited about starting college! Also about going to New York with my two bffs at the end of January. I think it’ll be an epic year.

    <3 Becca · Jan 7, 06:12 PM · #

  262. For darling darling twenty ten I am quite looking forward to the thoughts and possibilties of exploration of the universe!
    I graduate and I see the world ahead of me and it says EMBRACE YOUR FREEDOM.
    And so, I will most likely be volunteering with the WWOOF organization..
    my biggest goal this year is to help the world =)

    <3 rocketteer · Jan 7, 06:14 PM · #

  263. This year I promised myself that I would take advantage of every opportunity I encounter. And I can’t wait to go back to school.

    <3 Drucilla · Jan 7, 06:15 PM · #

  264. I’m most excited about FINALLY graduating college in 2010! I will be graduating next fall, after SEVEN years of misery. Not only will I be graduating, but it looks like I’ll be doing so with a great GPA and a pretty incredible resume, including editing my school paper. Good things come to those who wait! :)

    <3 Sheena Roetman · Jan 7, 06:16 PM · #

  265. I’m most excited that I have so many plans for 2010 but I have no idea how they are going to turn out. That suspense is exhilarating!

    <3 Karen · Jan 7, 06:16 PM · #

  266. My 2010 is going to be all-around fantastic because, 10 days before it started, the boy of my dreams showed up at my door & asked me out (after I’d liked him for SEVEN MONTHS but been convinced he wasn’t interested), and I am FALLING IN LOVE for the first time & it is CRAZY & I cannot even begin to imagine the adventures that are going to make up my 2010.

    AHHH! :D

    <3 Kate Sloan · Jan 7, 06:20 PM · #

  267. I am excited about continuing with my first year in uni, taking everyone by storm, falling in love, becoming even stronger and more awesome than i’ve ever been! Heeeere I go!

    <3 olivia · Jan 7, 06:21 PM · #

  268. I’m most excited for a refreshed positive outlook. It seems every year I remind myself of my positive look on life and how my optimism will take me where I need to be, but throughout the year I seem to forget.

    This time I’m going to dedicate more time to spreading my positive view on the world, appreciating the intricate and small details that are so beautiful in life, and really getting to where I want to be.

    I know with my drive and creative spirit I can do so much and go so far, but no one will make it happen other than myself!

    I’m thrilled for where my 2-year glorious relationship is going, and nearing the end of my college-life, I’m career bound!

    I can’t wait to show 2010 what I can do.

    <3 Jessica Crete · Jan 7, 06:21 PM · #

  269. New Years Eve at midnight I shared a kiss with a good friend who I had become closer and closer too and that I am now dating, needless to say the thing I am most excited about is this budding relationship and what will happen between us under the coming year!

    <3 fluffybullet · Jan 7, 06:21 PM · #

  270. I’m most excited about the unexpected. That sentence reeks of cliche, but I do say it with my utmost sincerity! 2009 ate my heart up and I’m sewing myself back up this year. What’s wrong about being an empty cup? I have a feeling I’ll learn tons about myself in 2010. :) and shoot, I hope I win this bunny ring. I will treasure it forever.

    <3 Tia · Jan 7, 06:22 PM · #

  271. i’m excited to seriously grow in 2010. i’ve met my true love last year, and he has everything i’ve always wanted in my life. he’s a burner, and i’m super excited to go for my first time this year! he will meet my parents (big deal due to certain circumstances..!) and they’ll meet his mom and i’ll move out on my own for the first time, and learn to drive. many big steps i’ll be taking this year. i has a grown ups. :)

    <3 karen · Jan 7, 06:22 PM · #

  272. i am most excited about getting one step closer to senior year and college, and having the opportunity to explore my dreams and become a better musician :)

    <3 gia greene · Jan 7, 06:23 PM · #

  273. I’m excited to finally get myself in order and take control of the direction I want my future to head in :)

    <3 Nicola · Jan 7, 06:28 PM · #

  274. im excited for more late nights that turn into mornings where you dont want to see the sun through the curtain, drunken conversations, dance moves that look ridiculous but feel so sexy at the time, waking up and cringing at last nights behavior, all the amazing people ill meet and have the most random weird conversations with that make so much sense at the time but seem so silly the next day. basically my second year of being young and reckless but i’m 18 so my first year of doing it legally!

    <3 Amber · Jan 7, 06:35 PM · #

  275. The opportunitys in 2010 are great.
    the whole ‘is he into me’ routine is still going strong and shows no signs of slowing down in 2010.
    it’s half the fun of being in love with him :)
    i’m also looking forward to my Grade 10 Leaver’s Graduation which hopefully promises to be Sparkly, Light, and Filled With Laughter. ( I feel that Capital letters Intensifies my words; much like A.A. Milne’s Winnie The Pooh) !!! love vaguely sparkly Kate :DD

    <3 SparkleKateSparkle! · Jan 7, 06:36 PM · #

  276. Definitely most excited about the juice fast that my partner and I are starting tomorrow and the proceeding raw food experiment. Otherwise, just excited about being happy and continuing to grow. :3

    <3 Sarah Yoshi · Jan 7, 06:36 PM · #

  277. I am excited for 2010 for many reasons
    Negativity (aka Poison) OUT
    First step:
    Jumping into a new chapter in life, telling my boss to take this job and shove it, of course with a smile and sweet manner.
    4 days and counting the giant relief, oh and my Christmas Bonus was a message, what a fantastic way to rid of my all my Job related NEGATIVITY .
    I am facing the FEAR of THE unknown, I have a plan ! one step at a time or more like a fast shuffle .
    I am going to ROCK at some Roller DERBY this year.
    I am going to enjoy the fruits of life with my friends and my lovely lover.
    Start an Art CO-OP with my Young Love Collective Ladies. Oh how exciting it is to breath your creativity.
    Touch those that are around me with my heart.
    Be more grateful, humble .

    <3 Pippi · Jan 7, 06:36 PM · #

  278. I think the ring is so cute. Reminds me of alice in wonderland -The silver plated rabbit to lead me down the rabbit hole! :)

    <3 Jade · Jan 7, 06:39 PM · #

  279. i’m most excited about my book club that my best friend and i started- every third wednesday of the month we talk about a book, drink some wine and eat comfort food.
    :)

    <3 emmaline · Jan 7, 06:39 PM · #

  280. I’m looking forward to self growth! Creativity! Travel! Finding new loves! And ending my sentences with exclamation points!

    <3 Stephanie · Jan 7, 06:40 PM · #

  281. I’m pretty excited about that ring!
    Rings & trinkets & bright, shiny things.
    Laughing & screaming & dancing & dreaming,
    Amazing adventures for plotting and scheming,
    Just like last year but much better dressed,
    2010 is the year of success.

    <3 nicola · Jan 7, 06:44 PM · #

  282. It will be the end to the year that entailed, my mom attempting suicide, my father being jobless, myself being confused and lost, and…..now it will be new and fresh

    <3 twinkle · Jan 7, 06:44 PM · #

  283. I’m most excited about being organized, together, and moving forward this year. I spent too much of the past few years catching up, instead of being on top of everything. No more of that from now on!

    <3 Sybelle Darling · Jan 7, 06:45 PM · #

  284. I am so excited for next summer, and graduating high school. I have been waiting twelve years for this, and it’s so nearly here. I have to make it through the winter, and when spring rolls around I’ll be waiting for the moment when they’ll say ‘pens down,’ in my final exam. I am so excited for getting my letter with my results, the culmination of six years of higher schooling (and I’m definitely waiting for the letter, I don’t want to get my results online or via text). I’m positively jumping out of my skin at the thought of what I will do the next year – like Gala, I’ve got a hankering for India, but maybe Japan? South America? I’m going to get a job I don’t hate, and stop selling popcorn to angry people in an overpriced cinema. I can’t wait to turn eighteen, and trek down to Melbourne to get the tattoo that my father is terrified of. I cannot wait for schoolies! I’m going to spend a week with my best friends getting plastered everyday in the sun (sorry, body). I am so, so excited for everything.

    <3 Matilda · Jan 7, 06:46 PM · #

  285. Going to karaoke with my friends as often as possible!

    <3 La Rouquine, formerly known as Poire Gourmande · Jan 7, 06:46 PM · #

  286. In 2010, I turn 20 years old. Luckily, that’s halfway through the year! So this year I am most excited about the remnants of being a teenager, but also moving on into the next decade of my life. In the previous 2-3 years, I learnt so much about myself that it doesn’t all quite make sense yet! So this year should be about applying what I learnt and making sure I grow into an adult properly.
    As I get older I gain more freedom, so I definitely do not want to lose the spontaneity of being young. I’m going to combine the two [hopefully] and stay happy!
    Some of the events I want to plan this year:
    Dressing up for the spring races
    A trip to New Zealand!
    A pirates vs ninjas dress up && gaming day!
    This year is the year of magic, glamour and passion!

    <3 Steph Jinx · Jan 7, 06:46 PM · #

  287. Manifesting my creative potential…...yeehaw…...xoxo natalia.

    <3 naleigh · Jan 7, 06:47 PM · #

  288. I’m looking forward to moving to my new home, so my mum and dad can be together again!....It’s in a completely new town around 10 hours from where I am…Where I don’t know anyone. But I get to see my dad again, and what’s life without a little adventure?

    I’m also looking forward to feeling myself grow as I start a new career path as well as continue on my fitness as I;ve already lost 3kg’s this year! And getting completely fit and healthy for whatever life throws at me!

    So here’s to a making 2010 completely magical and unforgettable.

    <3 Hayley Louise · Jan 7, 06:47 PM · #

  289. it’s very niceeeeeee!!
    I’m truly excited about living in England for 6 months this year, being qualified in June and all the wonderful trips I’ve planned for this year! (Paris, Amsterdam and probably Japan :O!)

    <3 Isabel · Jan 7, 06:50 PM · #

  290. I am most excited about change.
    Making plans on moving somewhere foreign by the end of the year. Getting creative with the gift I’ve been given.
    Being more active socially while focusing my work (which I’ve getting uber excited about!).
    Being more of a daredevil and taking risks, because after all we only get to live once.
    Plunging into the unknown…much like a rabbithole ;)

    I’m just so excited with 2010, I feel such a great positive energy like I can make ANYTHING happen…and I will!! :D :D :D

    <3 Kitty · Jan 7, 06:51 PM · #

  291. OMG, 2010 will be very different. I dunno why, but I can already feel it. Bring it on new year!

    <3 flowernelly · Jan 7, 06:51 PM · #

  292. I am most excited about finally being in that place where I am comfortable enough in my own skin to just… be ME. I’m looking forward to more growing, more exploring, more playing, more getting my hands dirty! (oh, and trapeze lessons)

    xoxo!

    <3 Lorelei · Jan 7, 06:52 PM · #

  294. I’m looking forward to spending the year with the kitten i’m getting next week, Doctor Octopus! I’m also looking forward to my first summer away from my parents. Most importantly i’m excited to get away from the negative influences in my life and make as many new friends as possible!

    <3 Rei · Jan 7, 06:56 PM · #

  295. I’m excited for so much in 2010. I graduated training in a month and I’ll officially be a part of the U.S. Army and NC National Guard. I will be starting college in the fall majoring in vocal performance and possibly a minor in theater. I look forward to seeing my lover again after being apart for the past year. And my dad finally comes home from Iraq soon.

    <3 Pandora · Jan 7, 06:57 PM · #

  296. I am totally getting published.

    <3 Rappaccina · Jan 7, 06:58 PM · #

  297. I’m excited for the possibility of all the crazy things bound to happen in the next year. I’m a sucker for spontaneity and I find the best things in life are the ones you do in the spur of the moment.

    I’m also excited for all the girls nights we are going to have this year. Most of my friends are starting this year newly single. What does this mean? More martinis, chick flicks, and flirting —and less drama, sports games, and ‘bro-ing out.’ I’m all for it!

    Annnnd me and my best friend are capping off our traveling this year by going to Serbia and many other countries surrounding. 2010 will be fantastic!

    <3 Hannahjane · Jan 7, 06:58 PM · #

  298. I am excited about heavy snowfall and ice-skating while holding hands with someone I love. Snuggles and heavy books, and small poetry anthologies and vintage rings. I am excited for smoky tea-leaves, travelling and laughter. Running in the sand & not running away from challenges. I am excited about being able to be brave, about falling down and standing up again. I am excited that I am, for once, not dreading the new year. Opening up and letting go. I am excited because I know that I will be happy & sad & ecstatic & scared and it will all come out fitting together brilliantly in the end.

    <3 Miranda · Jan 7, 06:59 PM · #

  299. I’m looking forward to owning my first home! I will be able to paint the walls and hang up photos!

    <3 Meghan · Jan 7, 07:03 PM · #

  300. After spending 2 years doing a course i didn’t particularly enjoy and definately couldn’t see myself in, I am now taking a year off to see what i really want to do with my life, so i’m quite excited about that.

    <3 Bronwen · Jan 7, 07:03 PM · #

  301. This year i hope and pray to forgive myself for all i have done, the terrible things i have done in my life, and move on knowing ican be a good person. Also to finnnally build that confidence that highschool tore down. Knowing that no one else in this world can make me truly happy but myself.

    <3 Yazzy · Jan 7, 07:04 PM · #

  302. I am most excited about 2010 because I plan on making it THE best ever!!! Its going to be about renewal….changes….and of course, FABULOUSNESS!

    <3 Candipants · Jan 7, 07:06 PM · #

  303. 2010 is the year I get many loose ends tied and begin a new journey!
    I finish my undergraduate degree in april and then am off to visit my family in India during the month of May. I am going for my cousin’s wedding and its going to be a huge event, about which I am ecstatic.
    I will, hopefully, get into teachers college and begin that in August and move out on my own for the first time (!!!)
    I get to let go of some past people/baggage that weighs down on my heart and make hedge way into the goals I have for myself as an adult (I turn 22 this year!)

    <3 Rush Me · Jan 7, 07:08 PM · #

  304. 2010 is an exciting year for me. Not only am I in a wonderful relationship with my perfectly handsome boyfriend, but we have an opportunity to travel together. I live in Missouri, and I am 80% sure I will be house sitting for a relative in California; during this time I will be networking for my future jobs, but I will be making a side trip to Las Vegas with mi novio. Also, during Spring Break, I get to go to Chicago! There is a lot of travelling in my future, and I am very excited about it!

    <3 Ashley · Jan 7, 07:09 PM · #

  305. for having finally accepted that the present is worth living in and not worrying about the future that is what I am most exited for in 2010. Hoooray!!! Good luck everyone!

    <3 KK+ · Jan 7, 07:21 PM · #

  306. I am most excited about getting a persian kitten that I will name Ishtar, visiting the ocean (which is the most magical, powerful place, imo), deciding what I want to do this summer that is helpful to myself and others, making miniature paintings (themed in herbs and constellations), and possibly acquiring a claw-footed bath tub (showers are not my fancy!).

    <3 Greer · Jan 7, 07:22 PM · #

  307. two thousand and ten?

    **
    I’m MOST excited about the endless possibilities this year has in store for me! **

    I’m excited about letting last years worries and troubles and procrastinations go!

    I’m excited about all the challenges I have to face this year as a student leader, a theatre ambassador, a youth council reprasentative and a role model to younger year levels.

    I’m excited for a year that will be better than the last one.

    I discovered you, Gala, about mid-way through last year and have been SO THANKFUL EVER SINCE! You’ve helped every aspect of my life in some way, I’m sure.
    Thank you, thank you, thank you.
    I’m excited to be able to share 2010 with you and have a full year of love letters and feather headdresses.

    Ahhh this has been wonderful just being able to share and realise everything I’m excited for!
    Fabulous.

    xoxo
    I’m excited about planning a trip OUT OF NEW ZEALAND!

    I’m excited about finding inspiration and beauty in everything I can, and not keeping it to myself but sharing it with everyone.

    I’m excited about possible new friendships and relationships.

    I’m excited for March 11 when Leo is out of retrograde, hahaha. Then let the creativity begin!

    I’m excited about writing and painting and designing and sharing it with people! And finding time to do it all.

    I’m excited about organizing my life, finally.

    I’m excited to see whether I can stick to my new years resolutions and hand assignments in.

    I’m excited to see when what I’ve put on my vision board will come true. Air New Zealand Fashion Week? Art Space volunteer? Getting rad new accessories? ;)

    I’m excited to spend a whole year watching what Gala has instore!
    xo

    <3 Lana Warhola · Jan 7, 07:28 PM · #

  308. Im excited for keeping up with old friends and making lots of new ones, for being in love with my sexy boyfriend, for learning as much as i can, for reading and relaxing and getting to know myself and to grow.

    <3 Betty · Jan 7, 07:29 PM · #

  309. In 2010 I am super excited about making my blog bigger and better, doing great in college, and really working on my style and building up a great wardrobe. I think that winning this lucky ring would help with all of those.

    <3 Koko · Jan 7, 07:30 PM · #

  310. I am most excited about my last year of High school. Soaking up the last ounce of free education I can get and wasting this privilege by going to the mall instead, with my friends. With whom I will hopefully be going on road trips, camping, eating, drinking tea, watching movies, telling bad jokes. This year is going to be amazing! ( hopefully)

    <3 Georgie. · Jan 7, 07:32 PM · #

  311. For the lovely year of 2010 I cannot wait to finally fall into my real self, my true identity, to embrace myself flaws and all and shout it loudly to the world daily. I’m going on 26 this month and I am so excited to fully become that woman I’ve been aiming to be. I want nothing but beautiful days that require some sort of celebration. I am excited to live my life to the fullest aspect I can every single day I am alive.

    :) xxo happy new year!

    <3 Mae Jane · Jan 7, 07:32 PM · #

  312. I’m excited to finally return home after a long year of studying abroad in Scotland! I’m from California and I’m missing the sun so much! Also, I look forward to finally getting a job that I want, and not what is expected of me :-)

    Cheers to 2010!!!

    <3 cherie · Jan 7, 07:33 PM · #

  313. I am most excited about getting my life on the exact path I’ve always dreamed. Doing work in theatre, and applying to the most prestigious school that I can afford, which just happens to be in the city I most adore! And most definitely, the release of the new ALICE IN WONDERLAND (obsessed with the book) which this ring totally reminds me of!

    <3 Beccasaurus · Jan 7, 07:33 PM · #

  314. I am taking a big scary leap and creating a new beginning for myself !

    I am moving from California to New Hampshire to live with a wonderful man in a new, wonderful place. I am excited to decorate our house with Dinosaurs, Star Wars and Hello Kitty.

    I am starting a new exciting career, fixing submarines. Something I’ve never done, but am trying it out and hoping for the best.

    This year I could use some youth, vitality and prosperity this year. I’m gonna make it happen.

    <3 Veronika Octane · Jan 7, 07:36 PM · #

  315. I am most excited for the opportunity I get with the Globe Theatre here in Regina. A few months ago I auditioned for an Actor Conservatory program and made it in because I did a lot of preparation. This is the biggest thing that has happened in my career thus far. 16 weeks of 6 days a week from 10am to 6pm… and it all caps off with doing my first professional show for a professional theatre company (that is not dinner theatre)!

    This is going to be a good year, and it didn’t take luck or magic to get where I am. :)

    <3 AmyTheFreak · Jan 7, 07:37 PM · #

  316. I am excited about becoming more comfortable with my life. I’m in a new fantastic city, all alone, and I am happy. It was time to change something, and the simple fact that I can eat alone, shop alone, and not feel terribly lonely is making me realize that I am stronger than I thought.
    Cheers, 2010, to confidence.

    <3 Billie-Jo Jenner · Jan 7, 07:39 PM · #

  317. I’m most excited about travel opportunities and new ideas and paths for my life. 2010 and all about working more on me!

  319. yay 2010! I am most excited about beginning many new jobs and projects, making my own way, independence, new haircuts, new opportunities, new people, new traditions, new pets, new me!

    <3 Lauren · Jan 7, 07:47 PM · #

  320. I feel like 2010 will be the year my “real” life starts, and I’m definitely excited for that! My law course is ending in July and I plan to take the first break from education I’ve had in years, get a better job and start saving as well as living, without extra work to come home to at the end of a busy day!

    Things are already starting to improve :)

    <3 Vixel · Jan 7, 07:47 PM · #

  321. I’m looking forward to a year of absolute girlness. My friends and I have made something of a pact not to worry about boys and only have fun. We even took a note from the show that’s coming on MTV soon, the Buried Life, and we’ve made a list of things we want to do before we die. On top of that, towards the end of June I’ll be going on a trip to San Francisco. This may not be a big deal to some people, but considering that I’ve never been on a plane and I rarely leave North Carolina, it’s a huge deal to me. I’m super excited and hope to make this year the best yet. :]

    <3 Meghan · Jan 7, 07:49 PM · #

  322. I am looking forward to graduating from college in 2010!!!!!!!!! Gasp! Oh the thrill.

  331. Okay 2010 here we go!!
    I am most excited to:
    -Be more positive, and calm, get rid of some of my negative energy
    -Not be afraid to continue to be who I am, dress how I’d like, pursue what I love, and ignore anyone who dislikes that
    -Travel to New York!! This august for my 21st birthday my friend, my mom, and my godmother are all going to go to New York and spend a week there. I have alwaysalwaysalways wanted to go there, and I am so excited. I could not ask for a better way to spend my 21st birthday!
    -Continue to be with the one I love

    <3 Nikki Gee · Jan 7, 08:21 PM · #

  337. In 2010, the thing I’m looking forward to the most is falling in love — with myself! I’m too awesome a person to have spent so many years devoting my time to loving everyone but little old me.

  342. It’s all about the new projects and the freedom to pursue them. This year I’m going on STUDY MONSTER OVERDRIVE as I slay subjects such as biology, chemistry, physics, and all the math prerequisites that encounter me. It sounds like it will be a tough year, but I’m excited to assume my rightful place in the college kingdom. Also at school, I’m trying to start Sleep Society, a club where we share our funny, scary, or illogical dreams. Apart from school, my boyfriend and I are submitting his poetry and prose for several literary magazines, so hopefully he’ll be published! My friend Waz and I might go on a road trip over the summer, and it will be the perfect time for filming this project from my head and into the world. After this glorious mess is over, I’ll turn 21, and the world will be ripped a new one.

    <3 Cyrelle Aragon · Jan 7, 08:35 PM · #

  351. Hey Gala

    For 2010 I am most looking forward to a clean slate and working on new designs, and pushing myself to go in creative new ways. I want to try internet blogging, and also really work hard on creating the clothes of my dreams!

    I also can’t wait for the anime festivals this year!
    I cosplay (which is dressing up as a character and competing in the festival, and wandering around getting in photos all day!) and I’m so excited to turn the pictures of character’s costumes on paper/the internet into a wearable reality.

    Finally, I’m pumped to see what awesome things you and my other favourite bloggers have to say this year!

  353. I’m excited about finishing growing out my pixie cut! Is that too mundane to be excited about? I’m also excited to be exploring a college major I’d previously thought I was unfit for because my high school was so academically grueling I was convinced I could never do anything involving math. I’m excited to try it, even if I fail. And I’m really excited about 2010 as a good year for my blog. YES.

    <3 Jennifer Brady · Jan 7, 09:19 PM · #

  361. dear 2010;

    i am most certainly excited about you.

    i am excited to be wildly in love with a man who not only inspires me to create and invent things, but who wants to create and invent them WITH me.

    i am excited to finally be breaking free of the school-work-stress-repeat cycle in order to follow my dreams of living simply and elegantly, working on an organic farm.

    i am excited to have lived through my illness these past five years, and simply ecstatic to see an entire new year of endless possibilities for my recovery ahead of me.

    <3 marina rose · Jan 7, 09:27 PM · #

  362. I am most excited about seeing my boyfriend again after 2 months in Feburary. I am also excited to see what happens to us when he comes back because as of right now I am having mixed feelings about him and Sweeney Todd lyrics are flashing through my head and this is never a good sign.

    Other than that I am excited about the things I don’t know about yet! I am ready for the surprises!!

    <3 Corey · Jan 7, 09:27 PM · #

    <3 Emma · Jan 7, 09:31 PM · #

  364. I’m excited to basically BE EXCITED AGAIN. I spent the better part of the last two years in a horrible mire of self-pity and woe, pushing fun things and people away for no reason beyond general unhappiness. But over my winter break I’ve resolved to be POSITIVE! UP! And it’s WORKING! Thanks in major part to this website in fact, oh, flatter flatter blush blush. But seriously, I’ve already purged all clutter and cobwebs from my home and mind, and 2010 is looking all sparkling and new to me. Ordinary school year on paper, whole new world to me! I’m bouncing up and down in my seat, no lie!

    <3 mahantas · Jan 7, 09:34 PM · #

    <3 Bef With an F · Jan 7, 09:48 PM · #

  367. I’m SUPER excited about moving to my beloved home city, Edinburgh, in MARCH! WOOOOOO!

    <3 Jules foshoozley · Jan 7, 09:48 PM · #

  368. I’m excited about not being eighteen anymore come March (this has been a very awkward year for me – too old to be a child, too young to be treated as an adult), moving into my own house (magenta walls in the study? I think so) and hopefully adopting this cutie: www.petfinder.com/petnote/disp…

    Up to this point my life has been salt-covered Converse, store-brand white bread and what seems like one big ass Wisconsin winter. No, seriously. It’s always winter here.
    Starting this year it’s fresh tattoos, fresh paint and a fresh new outlook. :)

    2009 wasn’t a great year and I have this feeling that 2010 will be much better.
    I plan on finishing my art projects that I started and just draw and paint more again.
    I’m also excited to get my drivers licence (hopefully)!
    Plus a new Goldfrapp album is going to come out in 2010 (WIN)!

  373. In 2009 I started dating a really cute boy with a head full of curls. This year I’m excited to see how things go between us. Every day I am more convinced that I’m falling madly in love with him and I’d like to spend the year cuddling with him, watching Family Guy episodes and stealing other people’s popcorn at the movies…

    <3 Pau · Jan 7, 09:58 PM · #

  374. Gala, I am looking forward to you making my day with every single inspirational thing that you write. Thank you for inspiring me. YOU helped me get through last year and I can’t wait for this year to bring lifes wonderful surprises! Happy New Years to you, Gala!

    <3 Shayna · Jan 7, 09:58 PM · #

  375. I’m quite excited about being excited with what 2010 will throw at me. I have so many things planned, and that’s exciting in itself!

    <3 Georgina · Jan 7, 09:59 PM · #

  376. I’m most excited about new beginnings, looking forward and leaving the past where it belongs. Getting over lost love and getting on to new adventures, experiences, people and places. While 2010 didn’t start out with a huge bang or anything out of the ordinary (actually, I spent the first day of the new year in quite a negative mood), I feel very positive and excited about the months to come!

    <3 Hayley · Jan 7, 09:59 PM · #

  377. O! I am so excited about starting to live my life the way I want to! I plan on being the bold, confident, kick-butt girl I know I am; no more hiding behind excuses!

    <3 Deigie · Jan 7, 10:01 PM · #

  378. I’m excited about growing my contribution to the green revolution & getting my driver’s license & applying to work at a bakery & amazing summer plans & being completely optimistic & cutting procrastination out of my life!

    <3 Daniela · Jan 7, 10:03 PM · #

  379. I’m excited to create more magic and touching young people’s lives. I’m excited to transform into the Wonder Woman that I know I have inside me!

    Peace,
    Balad

    <3 Balad · Jan 7, 10:05 PM · #

  380. This year, I am excited for making myself go to college or get a job, and get my life back on track. I’m also excited for loosing 35 pounds.

    And that ring is adorable.

    <3 Lena · Jan 7, 10:06 PM · #

  381. I am excited to stop pretending to be somebody I am not! I am excited to fall in love! I am excited to become at peace with myself! And most of all, I am excited to have the best year of my life!
    :D

    <3 Emma · Jan 7, 10:07 PM · #

  382. Competing in New York for Shakespearean dominance, reading great literature, having strong female friendships, and finally feeling motivated to live my life!

    <3 Shelby Anjelica · Jan 7, 10:12 PM · #

  383. Finally understanding the saying, “It takes losing everything to be free to do anything.” This year, I’m ecstatic to finally be free to move to my beloved Vancouver and begin my life anew!

    <3 MK · Jan 7, 10:13 PM · #

  384. I’m excited to grow and change with the seasons to become the person I was born to be. To love everyday and feel the world love me back two-fold. To become fascinated with my studies, climb mountains, welcome rewards as my due, taste the cold night air, sing loudly on public transportation, kiss with passion, and never forget that it’s a blessing to be where I am right now.

    <3 JESSICA · Jan 7, 10:14 PM · #

  385. HOly smokes, thats a lot of entries.

    Anyhoo, I’m excited about all the anthropology classes I’m taking this year, and I can’t wait to start serving in a restaurant again so I can make the $$$ to MOVE OUT to my own place once more. Cheers!

    <3 Ashley · Jan 7, 10:15 PM · #

  386. I’m excited about ramping up my efforts to find a new job!

    <3 Katie · Jan 7, 10:16 PM · #

  387. I am excited to be going back to the love of my life, Europe in July. However, I am most looking forward to figuring out who I am and what I want. Am I a woman willing to settle for a man who has trust issues? Am I willing to stay in a state that I hate just because I am too scared to leave my friends and family? I am looking forward to gaining the courage and resources I need to spread my wings and soar and that is my goal that I need to achieve before 2010 is gone forever…

    <3 Beth · Jan 7, 10:20 PM · #

  388. I’m excited to graduate with a master’s degree in May and (hopefully) land my dream job shortly after!

    <3 Natalie · Jan 7, 10:21 PM · #

  389. Maturing.
    Learning about myself and developing more who I am and who I want to be.
    Not passing up opportunities, saying ‘yes’ more.
    Seeing what happens with me and the one I love.

    <3 Samantha · Jan 7, 10:22 PM · #

  390. I hope to find something new and exhilarating that is also something that will LAST! wether that’s a new boy or a new toy or a new state of mind, I won’t know until it happens… but it’s time for a little sustainable excitement.

    <3 Sarah · Jan 7, 10:24 PM · #

  391. I’m looking forward to completely changing my life around— becoming an engineer and eventually, hopefully (after working my butt off) getting into NASA and from there, the stars~

    <3 Morgan · Jan 7, 10:27 PM · #

  392. I am excited to go to college .

    <3 Susan · Jan 7, 10:29 PM · #

  393. Well, heaps of things as usual. But one’s coming soon; I’m getting married next week. I’m excited, looking forward to that day and all those afterwards.

    <3 Lili · Jan 7, 10:30 PM · #

  394. For 2010 I am most excited to kick start my career! I’m finally out of school (good riddance!) and am ready to start doing what I love. A fresh new year to start a new chapter in my life :)

    <3 Jackie · Jan 7, 10:32 PM · #

  395. I’m excited about seeing friends I haven’t seen in a long time, about starting anew at a new school and maybe taking a gap year to do what I truly love to do – bake!

    :)

    <3 Pao · Jan 7, 10:32 PM · #

  396. Letting go and letting the Universe do its thing! Letting go of resentment and regret and genuinely feeling good about everything in my life. Oh, and managing my time way better than 2009. Here’s to an amazing year!

    <3 Eveleena · Jan 7, 10:32 PM · #

  397. I’m excited about buying a house, another year with my amazing husband, letting magic happen and loving with everything I’ve got!

    <3 Stephanie · Jan 7, 10:37 PM · #

  398. 2010 = the year to be happy :)

    <3 mushi · Jan 7, 10:39 PM · #

  399. Finally, after nearly 3 years, finalizing my divorce!! I moved on long ago and it will be AMAZING to have the paperwork to go along with it!!

    I am excited for so many other things as well. Continuing to live in my amazing warehouse space with amazing creative people while persuing my costuming and fashion dreams. I’ve been getting closer and closer to what I want and I can feel things reaching a tipping point.

    This ring seems so timely, lately I’ve been obsessed with rabbits and have been thinking about them as my token animal for the new year. If I don’t win, I’m buying one anyway!

    <3 Tess · Jan 7, 10:39 PM · #

  400. Well, my 2009 was a bit of a bum year. In 2010 I am ready to let go, bid adieu to last year, and start anew. I’m not doing anything huge, but that’s okay because the little things count just as much or even more as what is considered as a “huge thing,” if you know what I’m sayin. I’m not doing anything super out of the ordinary, I’m just changing my mindset. And I love bunnies.

    <3 kate · Jan 7, 10:40 PM · #

  401. In 2010, I’m excited to move out of my parents’ house and into the dorms, to bake/decorate A LOT of cupcakes, and to fall in love (... I’m not actually so sure this one is going to happen but I’ll pray everyday until it does)! ;-)

    <3 Lauren · Jan 7, 10:41 PM · #

  402. I’m excited to start my life over in the fall in a new town :).

    New town, new wardrobe, new attitude.

    No one will know the old quiet, shy me from years past, I can finally break the mold that has been built around me for the past 18 years and become the person I really want to be.

    <3 Tara · Jan 7, 10:46 PM · #

  403. I’m anticipating one year closer to my future successful self.

    <3 Kristen · Jan 7, 10:47 PM · #

  404. I am excited about traveling to Europe with my beloved, and starting a new job. Fingers crossed. Lucky bunny.

    Also excited to see what new magic Gala has for this year wee :D

    <3 Vanessa · Jan 7, 10:52 PM · #

  405. I am coveting that ring like nobody’s business right now! As for what I am most looking forward to in 2010… hmmm… going back to school (part time), finding a new job, moving, celebrating my first wedding anniversary, taking a procrastinated-upon honeymoon, kisses, seeing my friends more, going on facebook less, the fact that the fiveawesomegirls on YouTube are going back to daily videos (love them), reading more books, writing more blog entries, working hard, and having a ball. Also I look forward to hopefully snagging a shiny new rabbit ring in this contest!

    <3 beeks · Jan 7, 10:53 PM · #

  406. Cute Ring! what I’m most excited about is forming positive and healthier habits this year that will hopefully continue in the next decade. :)

    <3 Rochelle · Jan 7, 10:55 PM · #

  407. I’m looking forward to the clean slate that 2010 provides. Letting everything in the past stay in the past, and working really hard to make sure I get what I want in the present. Everything in life is a choice, and this year I choose the best life for myself :)

    <3 anna · Jan 7, 10:59 PM · #

  408. I’m excited about paying attention to what my heart desires and following it, and allowing myself to be a happier, more open, and more loving person!

  411. I’m excited to start over and be the best me I can be!

    <3 Amanda · Jan 7, 11:06 PM · #

  412. I’m super excited to start reading a gigantic list of lovely books, creating new works of textile art, using my typewriter more often (a Smith-Corona Corsair Deluxe! mmm!) burning incense and sage, relaxing, self-nuturing, cooking, baking, listening to music, and loving.

    <3 Laurelei · Jan 7, 11:07 PM · #

  413. * Rising my GPA!

    * Being editor of a lit mag!

    * My trip to Spain!!

    * Finding love!!

    * (Or at the very least a lovable partner!)

    <3 tierra · Jan 7, 11:13 PM · #

  414. Every year, I choose a quote or line to describe what I want to work towards in that year. For 2010 it is “If you want to be happy, be.” It’s a Leo Tolstoy quote which makes so much sense, because I have finally realized just how in charge of my own happiness I am! I took a year off before university, and I’m so excited about using the money I’ve been saving to go on a trip. I am dreaming of volunteering in Ghana, and the thought of it makes my heart beat. I’m so happy to not be in school, and so happy that by the end of 2010 I will be. I am just in such an exciting/ excited time of my life!

    <3 Kay · Jan 7, 11:13 PM · #

  415. New Year’s Day is every man’s birthday….therefore, I plan on blowing out every last magical coloured candle of “wishful opportunities and adventures,” comng my way , that allows me to venture into another level in my life. One that i look back as a lesson learned and enjoyed thru time!.

    <3 Tuesdai · Jan 7, 11:17 PM · #

  416. I’m excited to get another chance at love. I thought I would die after my last relationship ended and now in 2010 find myself falling for someone new, whose kinder, sweeter, and much better for me. It doesn’t hurt to have my ex wanting me back and finally having the back bone to not let him hurt me again. I’m looking forward to all of the new memories waiting to be made!

    <3 Megan · Jan 7, 11:17 PM · #

  417. I’m most excited it’s not 2009 anymore..and the possibility of all things.

    <3 Megan · Jan 7, 11:25 PM · #

    <3 em kal · Jan 7, 11:28 PM · #

  420. gasp I think I am about to die of excitement! – bunny ring!

    & that’s how i feel thinking about what lies ahead this year, next year & every year to come.

    in the past year, i learnt a very important lesson, & reached a point where i realised “fuck it, life really IS short!” and all that was outside of the present moment can just wait…

    2010 feels like a truly clean slate.
    & now i can dream freely… i have faith in myself/the universe (after all, we’re the same!) to bring me the path that i should skip & dance excitedly on.
    i’ll just do baby steps to start with.

    <3 Natasja · Jan 7, 11:29 PM · #

  421. I’m excited about all the possibilities this year!

    <3 ampersandebeth · Jan 7, 11:38 PM · #

  422. I’ve been stagnant and tired for too long, and 2010 will be my year. I felt too old when I turned 18 in 2009. Happiness didn’t matter to me anymore because I was focused on what I was going to do with the rest of my life and upset because I didn‘t have any idea. Even now, I’m starting my second semester in college with no clue. But that’s OKAY.

    I’m excited to paint my nails, sing in the shower, have picnics at the park, swim in the ocean, buy beautiful clothes, curl my hair for work even though I’m just a cleaning girl, write down every story that comes to mind, paint with my boyfriend, wake up before the sun rises instead of sleeping until noon, cook elaborate meals and pretend I’m on Top Chef, smile more, and for happiness.

    <3 Gina · Jan 7, 11:46 PM · #

  429. Well I was recently given a moleskine notebook and since I’m young and paranoi,d and at the age of 14 is scared that she might be squandering her youth have decided to record everything interesting and inspiring and also record stuff about my life cause I don’t want to be a cellophane wrinkly granny who doesn’t remember anything. So in 2010 I’m excited about …..
    . Not drinking out of a can instead a glass(more ladylike)
    .Creating a trademark
    .Drinking Coconut milk(apparently very good for you and lots of celebs do)
    .Trying to work towards my dream job of being a trust fund kid

    <3 rjuner · Jan 8, 12:28 AM · #

  438. Dear Twenty Ten,

    I have many things to look forward to this year:
    My first year out of high school, moving all the way from Melbourne to New York and then to London, being of legal age, living life as an adult, planning road trips with my best friend, writing other exotic plans in my Moleskine, finally gaining some responsibility and control back in my life, finding love, shopping extravagantly and just living to the full extent.

    All of these sound marvellous but there’s only one thing I’m 100% excited, over the moon and thrilled about in this upcoming year. Every other year of my life has been predictable and the same routine everyday.
    This year, I’m looking forward to the unknown; to taking leaps of faith; taking risks and chances and, as Glee says, ‘never knowing if there’s solid ground below or a hand to hold or hell to pay’; to not making plans set in stone; to giving it my all and not knowing the outcome; to the possibility of dramatic life changing events.
    I’m looking forward to welcoming and embracing change.

    Love,
    Simi.

    <3 Simi · Jan 8, 12:28 AM · #

  439. COLLEGE!

    <3 Iris · Jan 8, 12:31 AM · #

  440. I’m excited about going to college and finally having the freedom to live my life the way I want to, without my parents and siblings needing their input in all of my decisions! Once I get to college, I’m going to go vegan, dye my hair blue, and be friends with anyone I like, and not be afraid of what my parents will think!

    <3 Iman · Jan 8, 12:33 AM · #

    <3 Marni · Jan 8, 12:34 AM · #

  442. Of all the hope I hold for 2010, I am most excited to stop letting others dictate my value and to turn my life into what I want and deserve. I am going to live with optimism and excitement, appreciating live for how magical and full of possibilities it is. The time for happiness is nigh!

    <3 Pants · Jan 8, 12:43 AM · #

  443. I want to put my college degrees to use by finding a job/career that I excel at and am passionate about! Love more and take time to enjoy the little things this year

    <3 Kristina · Jan 8, 01:15 AM · #

  451. I’m super psyched and excited to create my very own international playgirl HQ somewhere in the UK! Meeting wonderful individuals and deepening my love for my partner of 4 years. Sadly I have to leave my real pet bunnies at home so this ring would keep me from getting homesick!

    <3 Alex Ashley · Jan 8, 01:17 AM · #

  452. I am psyched for the new year! Healthier eating, going to the gym more, paying more attention to my body’s needs and making sure i keep it healthy. I will finish my freshman year of college this year! and start the first semester of my sophomore year. It’ll be a good year. And can you believe it? since the year 2000- it has now been a decade – now that its 2010. I hope everyone finds happiness in this new year. A bed to sleep in, good food to eat, and a safe place to rest. :)

    Happy New Year Everyone! :D

    <3 jamie · Jan 8, 01:32 AM · #

  455. 2010 is going to be my year of new beginnings. I know it.
    I’m going to really explore my chosen major [English] and search out some exciting and less-traveled minors. I’m in the process – right now – of transferring to a school closer to my home, but it’s private, so I need all the luck I can get!
    I want to learn so much – about the world, my friends, my family, and myself! I’m going to really reconnect with my loved ones, before it’s too late.
    I’m going to turn twenty this year – two decades on this earth and I feel like I’ve done very little except what I’m told will be the “right” thing for me.
    That needs to change, and it’s going to.
    This is my year to be me.

    Best wishes for 2010!

    <3 Callie · Jan 8, 01:41 AM · #

  456. New decade, new outlook!

    By the end of 2010 I’ll be one step closer to a degree in French and Art History, I will have travelled solo for the very first time, and I’ll be a published author of modern fairytales (the word “published” is a bit of wishful thinking, but surely you can never be too confident about these things!).

    Also, I’ve been reading some of the other comments and I’m blown away – clearly this will be a wonderful, exciting year for everyone! Bon courage tout le monde!! xxx

    <3 Elaina · Jan 8, 01:43 AM · #

  457. I’m looking forward to finally trying the hard stuff: finally stepping up in my career, loving my sweet boyfriend, and making all my projects more elaborate and bizarre.

    <3 Maggie · Jan 8, 02:00 AM · #

  458. Loving it!

    Though, Gala, I must say that the existence of actual ancient Celtic animists is highly debatable and the sacredness of rabbits (or hares) in particular is even more patchy. ;) I think it just might tickle you pink, though, that rabbits were a common gift in Ancient Greece given as a love token! :) But, usually from an older male to a younger male…

    Not an entry, but since I’m really excited about 2010 and like to share why: This is the year my career as an independent historian/archaeologist is taking off (already have two paying articles lined up) AND I’m buying a little farmstead in Brittany (France) to live my dream! You’ll know the feeling well — isn’t just saying “to heck with convention, I’m doing what I want to” the best? :D

    <3 Emma · Jan 8, 02:26 AM · #

  459. I’m very excited to finally be transferring to my dream school! Annnd also for new adventures 2010 will bring! Woohoooooooo.

  460. I am most excited to begin my adult life (!!), which includes getting a job that I enjoy, starting university, making new and exciting friends, making over my best friend’s bedroom and saving for my big trip to the uk for 2011. Hopefully plenty of new avenues will open up for me!

    <3 Jade · Jan 8, 02:36 AM · #

  461. This year I am excited to explore the self that I finally feel like I’ve found.

    <3 Marla · Jan 8, 02:36 AM · #

  462. What I am looking forward to most of all this year, more than my desire to succeed in my studious/not-so-much endeavors to take/pass the Graduate Exam and move along into a major which my heart has been set on since middle school (Interior Design) and excel above and beyond the call of duty/inspiration, I look forward to most of all, the reunion between myself and my heart (more love of myself entirely). It has been exclusively non-existent for quite some time. I would like to reunite with my best friend, whom I haven’t been with in three years and counting, I would like to experience my first love…my first kiss! I’m 22, and it just hasn’t happened. I would like to reunite my passionately optimistic soul with my mother’s love of life and everything in between, and see my grandmother before Alzheimer’s completely takes her over. I would like my heart to grow more courageous and radiate this energy to everyone who continues to envelop my feeble and tiny flickering flame and have it burn brighter. I hope to burn brighter! I hope 2010 is the year in which I finally find out what I am really capable of, and I’m willing to embrace it head on, and only hope that it embraces me back.

  463. Traveling to London, marrying the man who’s made my heart smile for 9 years, taking extra leaps of faith and not letting fear get the best of me, photography, sewing, school, loving unconditionally, smiling every day, getting my dream job as a theatrical costumer, studying abroad, blogging, eeek, there’s so much!! I’m so excited!!!

    <3 Frankie · Jan 8, 02:42 AM · #

  464. This year I’ll be completing my first year of college! More importantly though, this is my first full year on my own, living life as an adult (well, a university student, but it’s still a step in the right direction and a HUGE change from living at home.)

    I can’t wait to see what new challenges, joys, and overall experience this year of independence will bring, and what wisdom I’ll be able to extract from it.

    P.S. That ring is adorable, whoever wins this giveaway is a lucky girl indeed

    <3 Abby · Jan 8, 02:42 AM · #

  465. For me, 2010 is the beginning of the rest of my life. I’m most excited about getting married and doing it regardless of what “tradition” tells me I have to do, we’re doing it our way, who cares about convention! I’m excited because 2010 feels like a time to grow and leave all of the last decade’s drama behind. Feels amazing!

    <3 Sarah · Jan 8, 02:43 AM · #

  466. What an inspiring post, and so many inspiring answers! In 2010, I am excited about moving out of my parents house, and finishing my university degree. After that, the world is my oyster!

    <3 Marina · Jan 8, 03:06 AM · #

  467. This year I get to see The Pixies play live! Now this I thought would never happen in my lifetime!

    Other than that I really have no idea what this year will hold for me, improvement at the whole ‘being a manager’ thing.

    I may meet a whole bunch of new people, I may go places I’ve never been. I’m obviously not a planner. I just hope this year will be amazing. It’s not really off to a good start though.

    <3 Sara · Jan 8, 03:07 AM · #

  468. I’m excited about getting a job!

    <3 L · Jan 8, 03:11 AM · #

  472. Oh I would love love love to go to India one day! At the moment I am most excited for my trip this summer to Nicaragua! Planning started today and we’ll be staying and working with an orphanage there for about a month. I’m also thrilled to enter 2010 single after almost three years of an unhealthy relationship. The months since summer have been ones of much needed and glorious change and I think 2010 will bring the same. OH! And how could I forget? There will also be as much skydiving done this year as possible. =)

    <3 Celeste · Jan 8, 03:31 AM · #

    <3 Novalis · Jan 8, 03:50 AM · #

  475. I’m looking forward to making art in twentyzen, attending a really cool residency and participating in art shows and happenings.

  478. I’m doubly excited. On one hand, I’ve decided to go back to school, and get my languages degrees, to find a better job, and on the other hand, because I’m incredibly in love with a childhood friend, and he loves me back! Isn’t life extraordinary?!

    <3 Rowanna · Jan 8, 04:20 AM · #

    <3 Aimee Marie · Jan 8, 05:24 AM · #

  483. It must be bunnies!!! (Had to quote Joss Whedon!)

    <3 hemy · Jan 8, 05:29 AM · #

  484. It’s great to read that so many people are looking to such a wonderful array of things in this exciting year!

    I’m incredibly excited about planning a trip to Brazil with my boyfriend. He asked me to go with him during the midnight fireworks on NYE. Trying to learn Portuguese, deciding where to visit, and all with my beloved best friend is definitely the thing I’m most looking forward to. Closely followed by learning everything I can about good blogging, starting my PhD, and reading more awesome articles from my favourite bloggers.

    <3 Neysa · Jan 8, 05:30 AM · #

  485. I hope to graduate as a culture and heritage manager in june and I’m extremely excited about starting my first job after that. I’m also over the moon with excitement about my internship which starts in february, when I will be researching the socio-economic position of writers in different European countries. I absolutely love the institution where I will be doing my research: lots of ceiling-high bookshelves and all these literary idols of mine walking in through the art nouveau front door.

    <3 Evelien D · Jan 8, 05:30 AM · #

  486. 2010 is a brand new experience for me, i’m so determined and inspired by this fresh start after such a shitty 2009, don’t get me wrong, there were amazing parts to ’09 but WOW it was a negative time.

    I am looking forward to:

    -Learning to love myself.

    -Healing wounds I thought I could ignore and therefore get over.

    -To enjoying my new found best friend, lover and love and learning to focus on all the positive things instead of nit-picking through fear of being hurt, this is the best relationship i’ve ever had and he really, truely loves me as much as I do him.

    -Being selfish when it matters, grabbing life my the balls and living and deciding by my own opinion only.

    -Giving up my habit of wearing only black, I didn’t even really realise until I found this blog. I LOVE CLOTHES, I love colour but i’ve never loved or cared about myself enough to just wear whatever I want, I mean, i’ve got good taste, I’m just never brave enough to embrace it. Time for that to change!

    -Being true to myself as if I were 15 again, I didn’t realise I became so complicated and developed an adaptive personality that morphes depending on who i’m with. This isn’t to say i’m a fake, I will never pretend to like something if I don’t etc. I’ve just forgotten about my passions for far to long.

    -Planning my trip to India. I was supposed to go when I was 16 to help build schools and teach english but I chickened out because of wearing black and thinking I would die of heat and being overweight around poor people. Fuck that, I want to go so bad, I’m going to change the things that stop me from doing it.

    -Begining my training as a psychiatric nurse. I don’t believe in the boundary of sane and insane in the slightest. For me it’s more fortunate and unfortunate, carefree and deeply entwined. I have a strange ability to be able to empathise and connect with almost anyone I meet and even though the thought of this career scares me, I actually know I could make a difference.

    <3 Miss K · Jan 8, 05:31 AM · #

  487. In 2010 I am most excited for life. As simple as that.

    It is a miracle I survived the last few years of my life, with medical problems that held me back and mental health issues that caused me to not want to even try and fight. That is over now. I am not what I used to be.
    I am strong, and I will fight. And most of all, I want to live again.

    I am most excited about living life, not just ‘going through it’. I am excited about eating food and actually tasting it, about breathing in the air and realising what a precious gift it is, about feeling laughter and happiness and experiencing all the joys of life.

    I am excited.

    <3 Lou · Jan 8, 05:53 AM · #

  491. Happy new year Gala!

    I am most excited about how unpredictable 2010 is right now. To think that this time next year, or even in six months, my life could be completely different to what it is now. This year it’s all about action for me, to make dreams a reality!

    <3 green ink · Jan 8, 06:38 AM · #

  492. I’m most excited about everything, and driving my hilarious car and hanging out with other people’s small children and dancing and yelling and sleeping and finishing uni and doing exciting eveything.

    On an unrelated note, my grandma gave me her typewriter from her workin’ days, it is a royal. And makes fantastic typewritery noises.

    <3 Rachel · Jan 8, 06:41 AM · #

  497. I am super excited this year as it is pretty much the beginning of my life. Having just finished my degree, I am now looking forward to obtaining some kind of awesome job, going on romantic getaways to various places with my lover and generally just being open enough to take life and its opportunities as they come.

    In other news, you are going to India? Super exciting – whereabouts are you going, or are you going to go everywhere? I am Indian/English, living in London (UK) and I have not been back in so long. I miss it! You will love it. :D

  501. In 2010, I’m excited about getting married to the most wonderful man in the world, watching my baby sister get married, my best friend giving birth, and looking into starting my own business. Oh, and maybe a honeymoon in Japan? That would be too good to be true.

    <3 Alicia · Jan 8, 09:48 AM · #

  502. There are so many things in my life to be excited for. First, I am getting married to my Angel Juan. Second, in the process of getting married, I am changing my name and adopting a new superhero identity. Third, I am leaving a good, steady job to go back to school and after my dreams.

    <3 Bailey · Jan 8, 09:50 AM · #

  503. 2010 is a year of so many new things and that terrifies me and excites me.

    I am going to Ireland, I am applying to university(and starting it hopefully), trying to get a job & a place to live. So much going on. I’m dead scared of every bit of it, but at the same time I can’t wait until it happens.

    <3 Kiwie · Jan 8, 09:57 AM · #

  504. I’m excited about finally knowing what I want to do with my schooling.

    I’m excited about having a really steady and important core group of friends, and knowing that those are the people I value and want to be with.

    I’m excited about finding myself more independent than I ever have before.

    I’m excited.

    <3 Victoria · Jan 8, 10:52 AM · #

  505. On January 2 I found out that I’m pregnant. This is something I wasn’t planning or expecting, but it happened. It’s funny because one of my new year resolutions was getting more in touch with my soft femenine side (careful what you wish for! :P).
    I know I’m a strong girl, and I was completely ok with the idea of being a single mom, but the guy (who, by the way, I meet only a few months ago) and was first against me going through with the pregnancy is now also excited and he is the one having the morning sickness. It’s showing me that I’m surrounded by amazing loving people and that there’s always room for more surprises in life.
    This is by far the most exciting thing I could ever wish for!. Way to start 2010, right?!

    <3 Cookie · Jan 8, 11:16 AM · #

    <3 Jaka Merriman · Jan 8, 11:49 AM · #

  512. I am excited for 2010 because it seems so very full of possibilities. I am so looking forward to just seeing what opportunities find me, and feel really lucky to have spent 2009 getting myself to a stage where I feel satisfied and secure, leaving 2010 open to adventure, exploration and new experiences. 2010 for me is the year to ditch the planning and agonising, and just see what happens. I can’t wait!

    <3 Lizzie · Jan 8, 11:51 AM · #

  513. When I first read your post, it sent me into a tailspin as I realized I have no idea what this year will bring. Throughout the last decade, I was in school, making progress, with clearly defined goals. The decade wrapped up with my wedding, buying a house, and getting a major promotion at work. And now? I have no clue! I’m excited and a little scared. So, what I’m most looking forward to is finding out what’s next!

    <3 Mary · Jan 8, 11:57 AM · #

  549. Two-Thousand-and-Ten means using my passport for the first time to travel and study in a country which I don’t know either the language or customs. I don’t have a return date or an itinerary – I am going to take it as it comes – spontaneity generally isn’t in my personality.
    New friends, new ideas, new skills – I am excited about becoming a new person.

    <3 Stephanie · Jan 8, 05:15 PM · #

  550. I’m looking forward to:

    - leaving behind 2009 as proof of my indestructibility

    - and taking that strength with me

    - into a better 2010 (positive thinking = better reality)

    <3 Monica Thomas · Jan 8, 06:19 PM · #

  551. This year I am excited to learn more about myself and learn to love myself more. I look forward to spending time with my boyfriend, and growing to love him more each day. I want to patch things up that I overlooked in 2009 and fix some old friendships. I started taking kickboxing classes, and they RULE.

    I look forward to making 2010 my most sparkely, magical, glittery, love-filled, tea drinking, adventuring, wish-filled, and amazing year so far.

    <3 Megan · Jan 8, 06:31 PM · #

    -overcoming my fears and worries about life, one way or the other!

    <3 Elizabeth · Jan 8, 06:46 PM · #

  553. 2009 granted me the opportunity to move to london and intern for some of fashions most valued designers. 2009 boosted my confidence, healed some deep dark wounds, and most of all woke me up! 2009 changed my life, and i finally became me, for me. 2009 crossed my paths with people i’ll never forget.
    In 2010 im looking forward to continuing my career path, something ive been working towards my whole life. im looking forward to all the collaborations, the new people i will meet along my path, travelling, enjoying my gap year … and most of all, taking chances and daring to do so… know matter what.
    “Dare to gamble all or nothing.”

    <3 char · Jan 8, 06:48 PM · #

  554. In 2010 I am looking forward to getting married. I’m not usually that girl, but there is something very special about my partner. I think I’m finally ready to walk down the isle. Or in our case the doughnut shop.

    <3 char · Jan 8, 09:39 PM · #

  566. I know it may sound cheesy but I want to try and do things for others, even though they won’t do anything back. I’ve been watching one friend of mine that always gives so much, even though people may not deserve it and in the end it’s usually worth it. So instead of being negative I’m gonna try to be more of a ‘YES’ person and try to be more tolerant. I know this is REALLY going to be a challenge for me. :>

    <3 H. · Jan 8, 09:49 PM · #

  567. I look forward to the beginning of a new decade! I’m excited to continue my adventure in Atlanta and enjoying married life with the new hubs. This is the first time I’m living out of my comfort zone and the universe has been so kind. I can’t wait to see what else she has left in store.

    <3 Miss Alyce · Jan 8, 10:32 PM · #

  576. What am I most exited for in 2010? To be honest with you, I am so excited for it all! My feet weren’t touching the ground as the year changed, and I have to say that I can feel that energy rush through me this year. I feel incredibly amazing about absolutely everything, including all the negatives.

    -I am excited about my social anxiety and depression. They have taught me so much about myself and people in general. I am who I am thanks to SAD and depression, and I wouldn’t ever take them away.
    -I am excited about laughter and smiles. I hated my smile up until a few months ago, and now I am constantly wearing one. The funny thing is, I’ve been receiving so many compliments on my smile! haha Everything they say about smiles is true, you never are fully dressed without a smile.
    -I am excited about performing. I get to return to the stage again, and it feels amazing. Whether it be acting or dancing, I love the stage. I am so thankful to have this opportunity in my life.
    -I am excited for the unknown. Who knows what awaits? Romance? Luck? Misery? Not knowing keeps me on my feet. ;)

    <3 Merarose · Jan 9, 04:12 AM · #

  577. Buying a one-way ticket to Vancouver in March!!!

    <3 andrea · Jan 9, 05:47 AM · #

  578. I’d have to say I’m most excited about finally being able to start over and leave all my mistakes in the past as I moved to another country for my university studies. The fact that noone can judge me based on past bad decisions just makes me feel so happy I can barely contain myself.

    <3 Marit · Jan 9, 05:50 AM · #

  579. In 2010 I’m mostly looking forward to finding and buying an apartment with my boyfriend. it will be our first own apartment. :) Can’t wait to find the right one for us! It’s probably going to be exhausting but I’m confident we’ll find the right one eventually.

    <3 Ellie · Jan 9, 05:59 AM · #

  581. *During 2010, I am most excited about finishing high school and waving goodbye to rules, commands and pesky teachers, being as honest as possible about every aspect of life, being kind to every person I meet regardless of how they treat me and hopefully being impressive during my university interview to start a course in Journalism and Creative Writing!
    Most of all though, I am excited about my resolution to stop being shy and start enjoying everything, even the things I take for granted to be boring.

    <3 Becky · Jan 9, 06:31 AM · #

    1) Trying to launch my Lolita Fashion Brand (Carousel Cafe)! I am working hard and trying to find motivation to sew all the time!

    2) Maybe moving back to Taiwan. I would study a year or so of language to get better (I only speak conversational Chinese right now and am bad at reading/writing) and then maybe study fashion :)

    3) Being done with school! Technically I graduated my school last spring, but I went back for advance certificate :D

  587. Eee! Broken coding in one of the comments! Let me try to fix it…

    Ah, it doesn’t work. :’( I’ve tried to fix it in many ways, but it’s not working. Seems like it’s out of my reach. Gala, are you planning to fix the first comment where all the boldness originated from?

    Anyway, in 2010, I’m excited about…
    +Sending and receiving mail through the post!
    +The end of the semester, which is also around the end of Mercury retrograde! I am eager to finish so many things by that day and have a adventurous and wonderful winter break and beyond!
    +Setting so many goals and wanting to achieve them.
    +Adding new things to my collection.
    +Playing video games at someone’s house.
    +Falling in love (“Awwwww!”).
    +All the magic, happiness, and beautiful surprises that will come to me this year! Ah, the excitement!

    Good luck, everyone! :)

    <3 Adrienne · Jan 9, 07:00 PM · #

  604. Oh my goodness, that ring is beautiful!

    I am pretty much excited about the whole of 2010, in general. For me, it will be about embracing change, learning to be more organised, and creating the kind of life I want to have. I also am looking forward to being a non-smoker for the first time in six years (10 days smoke-free so far, long may it continue) and the changes that will bring for my health and for others, as I will enable me to participate in a charity run at the end of the year! So much to look forward to!

    <3 Emilie · Jan 9, 07:10 PM · #

  605. 2010- it’s the future. I don’t need the flying cars or the dissipating atmosphere, but I write this and I am

    again,
    tomorrow.
    What more could I hope for?

    I am most excited about starring in two short films this month, seeing the Magnetic Fields live, going to Mexico in the spring & not knowing at all what the rest of the year will bring. But I have a feeling it will exceed my wildest dreams. I have basically been in a constant state of ecstasy since the year has started!

    <3 Victoria Suzanne · Jan 9, 10:04 PM · #

  610. I’m excited because I’ve just finished highschool and I’m taking a year off to write, travel, and just generally spread happiness.. other people are saving money but somehow I think making a contribution, even if it’s only a metaphysical one, is somehow more valuable.. in my opinion, anyway.
    Wow, reading the other comments, if all goes to plan 2010 is going to be a flaming awesome year, good luck everyone!

    <3 Rani · Jan 9, 10:19 PM · #

  611. I am most excited that 2009 is finally over… What a brutal year.

    <3 Dot · Jan 9, 10:33 PM · #

  613. This year, 2010, is going to be the year that I start my first business. I hope. Beloved Boyfriend and I are hoping to be able to open a custom, American-style, motorcycle shop in Japan. Fingers crossed!

  640. In 2010 I want to LOVE myself more than anybody has ever loved me before. Every piece of me that I thought was imperfect I want to love and feel to the core of my being how perfect it truly is. I want this new year to be the year of EXPRESSION for me…..using any every outlet that I can. I don’t want to be afraid of change anymore….I want to wake up every day fearless…and starving for adventure. I want all my experiences to be fully appreciated…even the ones I already have done a million times…like eating ice cream …I want to experience it like it was the first time.

    <3 Kerri · Jan 11, 12:40 AM · #

  644. After everything I’ve been through over the years it’s overwhelming to think that I’ve finally made it! I start University in March and I’m so excited. I’m scared too, but I am looking forward to becoming my own person, being away from everything that is familiar to me.

  647. 2010, here we go!
    I“m excited about changing my life, letting go of the past and moving forward. Anything I want to do I will do, even if it sounds crazy or people think I am unlikely to succeed. I“m thinking of getting a tattoo on the inside of my wrist to represent a new life.

  650. I am looking forward to being happy. My beautiful Mummy died aged 49 on 1st March 2009, and her last words were simple, beautiful and inspiring:

    ‘Be Happy’.

    So that’s what I’m going to be for the duration of 2010.

  655. Experiments, adventure, intrigue; The Unknown is all part of the plan in 2010. I’m taking chances, planning beginnings while endings are TBA. It’s a nervous, scary sort of excitement where the only thing that’s certain is I’m going to learn a lot on this tumble down the rabbit hole:

    + reuniting with a special someone in Vancouver, BC next month
    + launching my blog, and showcasing some of the amazing people I get to call friends
    + rediscovering my long-lost personal style
    + putting together a team to create my first iPhone app
    + being open to the universe & all of its possibilities!

    i have recently gotten a divorce and the boy that i always regarded as ‘the one who got away’ very randomly emailed me about two weeks after the split. he and i haven’t seen one another in eight years but when we talk it is like magic. he has helped me become everything i had forgotten i was and we will be meeting again on the 8 year anniversary of seeing one another last. it is so, SO exciting.

    2009 was pretty much spent recuperating from truly traumatic 2008, so 2010 is the rebuilding year!
    I’m excited about all the things I will learn, and the mad skillz I shall gain! Learning to play the bass, drive a stick-shift car, deepen my yoga and meditation practice, and the fine art of self-publishing, just to name a few.

  677. Well I’m most excited about my college course, its a Fashion and Textiles part-degree. I started it in September but its been so controlled. But this year I will be able to be so much more creative about it. I now know how to properly construct clothes and cant wait to experiment more in my spare time. Also how proud I’m going to be when I complete My First Year. I’ve also been keeping a visual diary, day-to-day and looking forward to the end of the year look back, just to see how much has changed or not in some cases.

    <3 Cara · Jan 12, 04:19 PM · #

  678. I am excited for a new beginning, thinking clearly and positively and greeting each day as the blessing it is with determination and cheer. And then inevitably messing up. And breaking down and crying. And wailing and flailing and feeling down about things. And then realizing that you are granted as many chances as you need.

    I look forward to the opportunity to climb back up.

    <3 Amy · Jan 12, 05:21 PM · #

    I’m most excited about my new career path – it’s more in line with my capabilities. It’s…very secure, but the hours are great – with money out of the way, I’ll be able to use my spare time on art, writing, and music. LOVE!

    Not to mention I’ve been running into lovely looking boys here. Let’s see how that goes. (crosses fingers)

    <3 sora · Jan 12, 06:10 PM · #

    Cheers!

    <3 Tara · Jan 12, 08:02 PM · #

  684. Oh geez, there are so many things to be excited about this year, but I think the thing I am most excited about is working hard, saving even harder, and then going on a big trip to New York City! Could there possibly be anything more exciting than that? I think not.

    <3 Gem Wilder · Jan 12, 09:45 PM · #

  689. I am most excited for this year because it is the Year of Me. I have always been one to do things for others but this year, it’s all about me. I want to better myself in every way: Intellectually, physically, emotionally, and mentally. I want to read more books, go to the gym more, eat healthier, learn how to play the guitar and pick up piano again. I want to get more involved with causes that mean something to me, volunteer more, travel more, and find more crazy adventures. I will go wherever life takes me this year because it is the Year of Me.

    <3 Francine · Jan 13, 04:03 PM · #

  693. I’m most excited about the whole year!! There’s no way of picking just one thing. After all this will be the year when I quit being self-employeed, try my best to get into school (and not only here in Helsinki Finland, but other countries as well!) and in general 2010 will be the year when I expect my life to get so much better. Well not just expect, that’s the way I’m gonna make it and no one can stop me! It will be me and my new Nirve Rainbow Rider cruiser! ♥

    <3 Sushirobot · Jan 13, 04:05 PM · #

  694. I am super excited to be going back to school (it starts Jan 19th!), doing something with my life, and moving in with my boyfriend in the summer. We’ll finally be able to stay together as long as we want (I have curfew), drink beer, make food, eat, and have our pets (his dog, my two cats) ‘play’ together. :)

    <3 Christine · Jan 13, 04:06 PM · #

  695. I am most exicted about having the first year of my life with my first serious boyfriend,or even boyfriend in general.When I met him I was at the bus stop 1:00 in the morning from a seriously long day of work.The funny thing is I was walking to the bus stop just as my bus was coming,I passed and decided I’d rather sit down and wait for the next one,because I remember thinking in my head, “Maybe something interesting will happen and I might miss it.” The bus stop I go to is in a crazy city with really weird people that always tell you about themselves,and their lives in Germany and street carnivals.(I’m serious),and it’s like a movie!Just as I sat down,my now boyfriend walked by and sat down.I know it sounds so corny and cheesy,but it’s like someone wrote this for a movie.The best luck I’ve ever had.I’m so glad I was too lazy to catch the first bus.

    <3 Dahlia · Jan 13, 04:07 PM · #

  696. I am most excited about having a whole year to be able to do what I like and be my very best self. I want to go forward this year, see more of the world and make everyone around me smile. I want this year to be my own little adventure.

    <3 Merel · Jan 13, 04:10 PM · #

  697. I am most excited about becoming the person I used to be. For the longest time I forgot who I was, where I came from, and what drove me to live life to the fullest. I can not wait to wow the world around me with what I have been hiding for years! I want to laugh until my smile is permanent, try my hardest on everything so I can look back and know I succeeded no matter what, and love everyone and every moment knowing it will never happen again. This is just the tip of the iceberg for me and thanks Gala for helping me and others along the way!

    <3 jenny · Jan 13, 04:11 PM · #

  698. I’m looking forward to unlocking my potential this year. Last year was a year focussed on getting my health back, moving cities and discovering my passions. This year, I make it all happen! This year I start my little side-business and start doing what I love :)

  701. I am most excited about MOVING ON in 2010…leaving the past where it belongs and revving up my life so that it meets the dreams I have instead of lagging along in old patterns and thinking about ‘someday.’ I’m going to work hard to make 2010 my real, in-motion Someday!

    <3 Eliza · Jan 13, 04:30 PM · #

  702. I’m most excited about this year i turn 18.
    eight. teeeeen!
    It is safe to say over the last few years my goals have been simple: be happy with me by the end of it, and succeed! Which i have thankfully achieved and have found myself growing and waiting for so long and now 18 marks one of the biggest points in my life so far, an age when decisions have to be made, when i have to start taking responsibilities seriously, recognising that i can’t get away with what i could when i was 15 and the same excuses just won’t work anymore. Its terrifying and new, that awfully shiny word that you can’t help but fall for yet feel guilty your leaving that old sentimental filled bunny in the corner behind, as you push it further and further away. I just hope, i make the right choices when i come to them.

    Sarah
    P.S. and to get a bloody hair cut!

    <3 Sarah Moore · Jan 13, 04:30 PM · #

    <3 darlene · Jan 13, 04:37 PM · #

  706. 2009 was a very emotional year for me, my first year of college (after dropping out of high school) and a close friend of mine committed suicide. 2010 I am convinced will be better.
    Tonight I am helping out with a drag show and I heard there will be Evangelical Christians protesting. But that is only ONE event.
    I plan on also having more Bridgette Bardot, Happy/hyper people, and artsy fartsy things in my life.
    Also I am going to study to become a DOULA which is like a pregnancy therapist, I am so psyched to be helping out women with everything.
    ALSO! I am going to experiment with my hair.
    I am so scared, yet exhilarated to not feel so attached to it any more.

    <3 Bexxx · Jan 13, 04:38 PM · #

  707. After a year of struggling with my business (2009) I have renewed hope that I will manifest all my dreams this year. I am feeling motivated like I haven’t in a long time. And I believe that all the positive thoughts are already working. I have extended my hours at the salon and my friends are all calling at once to get haircuts from me at home. I am about to get a new Serger so my design business can take off as well. I have faith that 2010 is going to be the year that I finally work as hard as I want to and see it pay off. I also want to save all the excess money I spend on fashion to take a lovely vacation to Thailand/Cambodia which I have been dreaming about for years. And last but not least, that ring is so cute, I call my sweet little kitty bun (bunny). Thanks for the opportunity and for making me really think and write this down (for even more manifesting)! xoxox

  711. I am most excited for a competition that I am going to be in. This competition is in March, 2010. In this competition, we will do hair and makeup. Last year I competed and lost, but now I feel I can win because I am more experienced. Right now I am practicing my updo. Im already nervous.

    <3 Brittany · Jan 13, 04:54 PM · #

  716. I am excited for this year because for the first time in almost ten years, after all the hardships I’ve gone through recently, I’m finally starting to discover who I really am and what I want to do with my life—and I’m finally going to work towards becoming the person I’ve always wanted to be. I will make mistakes, I will do stupid things, but I feel like since I got over the fact that my boyfriend/fiance of almost 10 years left me, and I’m still in one piece? Now I can overcome anything. I still may be picking up the pieces, sure, but now I can form those pieces into something even more beautiful than before, and that gives me hope.

    <3 Dawn · Jan 13, 04:54 PM · #

  717. This year I am most excited about that I will not have work nor educational duties and I am free to do exactly what ever I wish. I can go abroad, I can work part time in a flower store or I can just take long walks in the woods. And it is a relief to be so free. Finally.
    Thank you for an awesome blog!

    <3 Maria · Jan 13, 04:55 PM · #

  718. This year I am most excited about building up my experience in fashion, since last year I have gone full circle with my life and I never thought I would have such amazing opportunities as I have now with British Style Bloggers. Last year I thought my life was going no where but this year I could be at london clothes show as press. Im looking forward to every day tbh

    <3 Ashleyswan · Jan 13, 04:56 PM · #

  721. I am most excited about having an active outdoorsy summer with my new puppy. We got her this winter and although I am enjoying chasing her around in the snow and playing fetch with snowballs, I am even more excited to take her to the beach, go on walks to the ice cream parlour, teach her to swim, and go on big hikes together. My mom is getting a puppy in the spring and I can’t wait for them to be friends. My big retriever dog and mom’s little weiner dog! It should be a riot.

    I never knew how real animal love is before. Geraldine is my favourite lady in the world.

    <3 Iris · Jan 13, 05:02 PM · #

  722. I am most excited about figuring out what I am most passionate about and doing it. I just completed my Masters degree (in public health) but I have skills in many areas and being jobless does not mean being sad or disillusioned! There is a world of possibility of what job I can find or create! I’ve been making notes and reading self help books and talking with people and seeing what’s out there. This is it world, Raphaelle is coming.

    <3 Raphaelle · Jan 13, 05:02 PM · #

  723. On Friday I turn 29 and I am most excited for what this year of my life has to offer. Exciting projects that feed my soul, heart and mind. Love that will keep me warm with my feet on the ground but my head in the skies. I can’t wait.

    <3 Duckabeees · Jan 13, 05:03 PM · #

  724. I am ecstatic!
    2010 is my year for sewing enough to support myself.
    Volunteering locally.
    Going on a cruise with my love to the Mediterranean! (It is my Christmas gift)
    My little sister lives close again!
    Many of my close friends are pregnant and it is so wonderful!
    I’m excited to shop for baby clothes.

    Gala, I love iCiNG it constantly inspires me and is like a disco for my heart.

  725. I am excited to explore a new career and continue on this wonderful adventure and journey of getting to know me!

    <3 Cher · Jan 13, 05:05 PM · #

  726. I am excited for the entire year. 2009 was probably my hardest year to date—several close family members passed away, I started and struggled through my beginning semester of graduate school, crashed my car twice. It’s been incredibly difficult, but somehow not a total loss. Lots of good things happened too, and even though it was hard, I liked a lot of little things about it.

    But 2010 will be better. There will be a lot of change, and that scares me, but it’s alright! I’m excited for spring, for new movies, and food. I’m excited for a lot of little things :)

    <3 Kater · Jan 13, 05:08 PM · #

  727. 2010 is the year I will make a substantial amount of my dreams come true:

    + I’ll travel around Europe for the first time in my life and alone.
    + I’ll move into my own apartment.
    + I’ll take as many necessary steps to become a Rockette/dancer/Yoga enthusiast and instructor.
    + And I will finally be independent.

    What’s not to be excited about?

    <3 bitterpineapple · Jan 13, 05:08 PM · #

  728. I am excited about falling in love, meeting the people who leave me awestruck and inspired, leaving my boundaries behind, aiming higher and achieving more than I could have ever imagined, defeating my disorder, finding the amazing friends I deserve that I know are waiting for me somewhere, learning, experiencing and visiting things that I have always wanted to, old and new.

    But most of all, I am excited at finally realising my dreams, looking up to the stars knowing I am up there with them, that things really are just keep getting better and that I really am destined for something amazing.

    I am excited to be living.

    <3 Twisted · Jan 13, 05:10 PM · #

  729. I’m most looking forward to this new year of no stress, zen love, and moving on from the death of my best friend. This is the year of happiness and unconditional love. Letters to friends who live interstate, romances that don’t break your heart and reminding my parents just how much i love them. It’s being the memory of my best friend and supporting cancer charities, giving without the intention of taking.

    <3 Robyn Dolan · Jan 13, 05:13 PM · #

  730. This year I am most excited about finally kicking fear and doubt in the bum and following my dream. I’m filling out applications to drama schools in the UK, I’m looking up places to live at, I’m writing up a budget — everything.

    So yes. Very excited about this.

    <3 Yukino · Jan 13, 05:19 PM · #

  731. I’m uber-excited about 2010 because: – I am living my dream of being an awesome rock journalist – I am interviewing some of my musical heroes next Wednesday and I can barely believe I made it happen!

    -I’m trying super-hard at my degree to make my family, friends, teachers and myself proud.

    - I’m taking Tiger-style Kung-Fu lessons with 2 new friends to help boost my confidence (and help if I meet any nasty people in dark alleyways)

    - I’m going to a foreign music festival -adventure time!

    - I’m dyeing my hair pink! (something I’ve wanted to do for years now) :D

    - I’m writing my goals in the present tense to make them seem less far away hehe

    Yay! Thought I’d share the happiness that is being 18 and excited about life.

    <3 Lois Bentall · Jan 13, 05:22 PM · #

  732. Being more comfortable with things that are not within my control. Not necessarily being comfortable with the right away, but learning to accept bigger things that I’ve no control over. Also, surrounding myself with people, perspectives, and other things that help make me, me.

  739. I’m most excited about shedding 2009 and moving forward! New love. New adventures. A new job. Moving to a new city, a new school, just a personal rejuvenation and re-invigoration!

  752. I’m super excited about making this year a productive one! Starting my career, having more fun, keeping in touch with friends, always finding the positive (negativity totally absorbs my energy levels and mood), embracing my life and not relying on others to make me happy! I’m excited about the prospect of enjoying my life to the full!...by starting from the inside out. Thank you Gala for your inspiring and motivating words! x

  754. i am super excited for this year because things are amazing and just keep getting better. every single day brings new ideas and revelations. every day i feel stronger and healthier, more beautiful and confident. every passing day reveals new soul-stirring art and music, new poetry, new depth. i feel wiser, more vibrant, luckier, more excited. every day brings a new chance to drop habits and beliefs which no longer serve me, and replace them with fresh, compelling, energizing, intelligent choices. it is a most wonderful time to be alive.

    <3 jacqueline dandelion · Jan 13, 06:59 PM · #

  755. This year I am excited about bringing beautifully grotesque monsters into existence, I will paint them with rainbows and stuff them with glittery tinsel.

    This year I am excited about making porn, porn that is ethical, that is art and changes attitudes about sexuality for the better.

    This year I am excited because I will save enough to move to Japan where I will see temples, blossoms, robots and schoolgirls. I will be disturbed and inspired by Japanese rainbow monsters and porn.

    This year I am excited because I’m already happier than I ever thought I could be when I was a deeply depressed teenager who never completed highschool. I can look at where I’ve been and say to myself “You’ve come a long way, babe!” and the knowledge of what I can get through makes the future stretch out inviting and exciting.

    <3 Jessie Ngaio · Jan 13, 07:03 PM · #

  756. 1) I’m excited about editing the novel I wrote this november.

    3) I look forward to getting over my ex girlfriend, and finding someone new who treats me how I deserve.
    4) I look forward to meeting the new year’s challenges headon.
    5) I look forward to drawing and writing fabulous words and pictures in the pretty red moleskine notebook I got from my secret santa.
    6) I look forward to figuring out who I am, and embracing that person.
    7) I will face the challenge to get over my self esteem problems and not resort to self harm in the following year, which will involve trying new methods of coping. That may end up being difficult, but I will do it by trying whatever it takes. Medition, EFT, two therapy sessions a week, I dont care what I need to do, I will make this work.
    8) I am so very excited to explore my spiritual side.
    9)I get to train the new puppy we are taking care of. I want to get him ready for the Canine Good Citizen Test.

  757. I am excited because I have found my soul mate. I can’t wait to see where the new year takes us. Gala, you would approve, he is covered in bunny tattoos and would adore this ring. I am excited to eat healthier.. so far it’s going great. (more raw food!) This is the year I am finally an upper division student so I can begin taking steps towards my future career. After all of the hard times and lessons learned in 2009, 2010 will be a good year, I can feel it.

    <3 Tara · Jan 13, 09:04 PM · #

  775. I’m excited all that 2010 will bring me. I’m ultimately optimistic and open to whatever comes my way. I’ve made plans for what I want to accomplish and what I want to experience, all in neat little lists that I read every day.

    I’m sweeping out negativity and performing a master reset on my outlook. This is going to be my best year yet, and I will be the catalyst for positive change in my life in years to come.

  782. I am most excited about CHANGING! Into the person I want to be and all the ideas I want to do, create, perform… I loved your late 2009 posts about setting goals. I did that during 2009 but some time during the spring I lost focus and eventually forgot what they were.
    I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting upon this and what I want to change this year and how I am supposed to do it. I’m really thankful for your posts inspiring to do so, and I would like to request posts later in the year reminding me to think about my goals and such…

    Also I am really excited about having moved to China from Europe (Sweden) in November 2009. It’s been catching me how cool this is and now that I’ve had the time to explore some I’ve seen more possibilities and know what I can do and achieve here. My plan was to stay until june, but now I’m not sure. I really want to do things for which I have to stay, but I also really want to leave…

I’m looking forward to running around supermarkets at ungodly hours with college students. I’m looking forward to falling in love with the most inappropriately perfect man. I’m looking forward to flying from St. Louis to New York City in march to see him, to seeing the city that never sleeps, to seeing the Atlantic ocean. I’m looking forward to graduating high school. I’m looking forward to driving 16 hours to new York. I’m looking forward to spending inordinate amounts of time on the phone. I’m liking forward to reinventing my wardrobe now that I don’t have to be subjected to immature assholes all day. Hint: tutus, hair bleach, slips, knotting, and biker boots will be involved. I’m looking forward to community college, something I thought I would never say. I’m looking forward to being serenated in smoky bars. I’m looking forward to driving cross country wearing heart shapped glasses. In summery, I am looking forward to the infinate possibilities of rediscovering my self.

  791. My contest entry!!
    I want to be a fashion designer. I have grown up being an oquard dyslexic kid who couldn’t spell and had a hippy mom. My mother was always against consumerism so I wasn’t allowed dolls or really any clothing. I dont mean my mom never let me get cloths but I almost intiarly had to make it off hand me downs, which can be really cool. She had left my dad so she couldnt really afford buying me cloths more then once every two years which made it very difficulte when I went to middle school.
    My inability to ware the latest brand labels made me obsesed with fashion. I spent a lot of time sketching how I would dress if If I could make my own cloths. When I started high school I started sewing a lot and am know intirly sure about fashion design as my corer. Im 17 and a prolific seamstress in a very small town thats well known for almost all of its clothing stors having the word hemp or natural in them.
    Im glade I grew up in this town though because it gave me a better understanding of the world around me and introduced me to lots of fun things like faeries, astrology, and yes animal spirits. Im most excited this year about getting my college applications back. College is my next big step and im so excited for it. I hope to get into Cooper Union (Yay New York!) or RISD! I cant wait to take this dorky small town girl and rock through my classes spending all my time studying something I absolutely love, FASHION!!!
    butterfly kisses and rock candy,
    Sophia

  792. Unbelievably excited about a whole new year ahead of boundless joy brought to me by my awesome new (now 4-month-old) baby! The thought of watching him grow thrills me more deeply than anything ever. I got really sick having him, and that included a week of not being able to eat or drink at all, so I’m superexcited about eating and drinking wonderful things, and getting better, which includes lots of hula-la with my new HULA HOOP.

    <3 Elizabeth · Jan 14, 12:45 AM · #

I am excited to be ME again!

    <3 Michelle · Jan 14, 01:21 AM · #

  795. 2010 is going to be an amazing and difficult year. This is the year I make my new life here in Melbourne, away from my family and all of the people that have supported me for 23 years.

    This year, I’m excited about: – finding a job in my field. – discovering new places to go and people to meet. – being newly vegetarian (and working on reducing my carbon footprint by living more sustainably). – Marrying my boyfriend whilst wearing a vintage slip that cost me $5.99 and a pair of combat boots and a tiny bluebird in my hair, after spending several months apart applying for a fiancée visa. (He can’t stay in Australia if we don’t marry, so we’re doing the only thing we can do to stay together.) – Hopefully going to Europe mid-year to meet my boyfriend’s family in Belgium, see my ladyfriend in Berlin and get tattooed in Norway by one of my closest friends.

    2010 is a year of new experiences, both wonderful and terrifying.

    <3 Jeskah Fatale · Jan 14, 01:42 AM · #

  802. Oh Gala!! This two-thousand-and-yen (strong desire/yearning) I am so looking forward to the plans I made in 2009 really coming to fruition…I planted heaps of seeds and now they are ready to bloom :)

    * patience with my man & myself – we are ready now :)

    * big, big changes – new job, new city (Melbourne)

    * reading everyone else’s 2010 plans is soooo energising!! I’m looking forward to everyone enjoying their results!

    * plus of course new adventures of the physical, mental, emotional & learning types!!

  803. i am most excited about finally taking a hold of my dreams and setting goals for my future – which is something i’ve never done before! i have already started my blog and am succeeding in my goal for this month (the amount of pageviews/readers i have!) which makes me incredibly happy and excited for the future. i am excited that it’s the last year of school for me, also. not the mention the fact that i am having a complete self-overhaul. i’ve been working on becoming a fabulous, positive person for the past year (THANKS TO YOU, BY THE WAY. love you forever for that one) and i have never ever ever been happier EVER! i have found that my karma is INSANELY good and instead of bad things seeming to happen all the time, i’ve only had good things happen. people aren’t usually the nicest to me even though i try to be nice, and now i’ve had nothing but super super super sweet people coming to tell me how amazing & positive they think i am. i’ve had lot’s of people tell me that they see who they wish they were in me. i just haven’t stopped smiling for days & i’m so excited for it all to continue so i can have a really amazing year. i know in my heart that this year is going to be brilliant, i can just really feel it. maybe it’s because i’ve had a string of really horrible years (5 or 6 really bad ones) and i’m just so ready to break free and be myself, be happy and inspire others.
    & i’m honestly not trying to suck up here, but i owe all this happiness to this blog. really, i do. you’ve taught me so much and made me such an amazingly happy person and i never thought i would be who i am today. i am so insanely proud of myself and excited for LIFE. especially in 2010. it’s going to be such a magical year. ♥ ♥

  804. well, it’s sure going to be a MAGICAL year.
    The last couple of years have brought such insights and openness of mind and heart, connecting with the Goddess, listening to my intuition and generally getting in touch with Mother Earth (I’ve done kundalini Yoga, studied the relationship between the moon and my monthly cycle, bellydanced, worked with clay on the ancient goddesses of Neolithical times – à la Gimbutas, breathed, connected with my sexuality, studied tarots etc etc)
    In 2010 I’ve already planned a couple of workshops in shamanism, I feel strongly interested in that.
    And possibly marrying/having a child with my found again enthusiastic Saggo.

    btw the rabbit (hare?) is such a strong symbol, a goddessy animal par excellance

    hugs

  805. I’m excited for going to law school in the fall, getting to move into my very own place for the first time, winning lots of achievements on Team Fortress 2, earning money in a job where I feel useful and productive, and staying with my boyfriend for yet ‘nother year. Awesome!

  806. I am most excited about LOVE! I have been the logical, rational, isolated, defensive ice queen for the past year. It was the best way I knew for surviving a breakup of a seven year relationship and the death of my mother, plus moving to a new place, losing my job and getting a new one, and generally being broke as a joke.
    It wasn’t the best way to get by, but at the time it seemed like the easiest. Being brave and alone is hard! But I am learning that it takes a whole lot more courage to be SOFT than HARD, and that is where I am attempting to go. To allow love and light and spirituality and colors back into my life, not even one at a time, but in a deluge, and to ask them to please stay there, without any embarrassment.
    Oh, and yeah, my sexy new man who brings me NyQuil when I am sick and rubs my shoulders and calls me Magellan. I am pretty excited about him, too. Oh please please please I need a bunnyhead ring! :)

  810. I’m excited about finally getting to attend the surgical department, and getting close to become a doctor!

  811. Looking forward to spending year 8 with my guy (whose nickname happens to be Bunny). We met when we were 7 (back in 1978), and were so crazy about each other, but were too shy to do or say anything about it. He walked me home often (even though he lived a couple of miles in the opposite direction) and always gave me a card for all of the major holidays (he brought them to my house rather than give them to me in front of the WHOLE SCHOOL). At 16, I moved away and we lost touch. In 2002, I found him again and we finally got to say everything we wanted to say all those years ago, and now we spend all of our time acting like a couple of lovestruck teenagers.

    Also looking forward to getting back in the raw food saddle (I learned to sprout over the holidays!) and trying for 80% or higher this year. With my Bunneh!

  812. I am most excited to make a change for myself, and hopefully for the world (even if I just do my little part). I hope to take better care of myself and of others around me (help others, volunteer more, be more eco-friendly, etc). I’m also excited for May, because my family will have a bit more money available, so we could probably afford some luxuries (finally! :))

  815. For 2010 I am the most excited about me!

    Like the bunny pulled out of the black top hat
    I am rushing out of the darkness, splashing magic all around me
    and I am changing the world
