.020 - a new resolution? maybe?

Well, I'll just say it.

I'm bored. We're all doomed because that phrase is cursed. Whatever. Moving on.

Anyone want to play a game of chess or cards? Pool? Fucking shuffleboard? Spoons? Anything?

Make three resolutions that will help you on the road towards graduating. I'm going to pick one and that's the one you'll have to uphold this year.

I don't want to change anything. I've changed too much already. If I want to change anything then I want to be changing back.

I don't know who I am any more.

And what if I can't? What if you pick something and by the end of the year it's not different enough? How are you going to test this exactly?

It's not a test. It's a place to start.

Sixteen months and only now are we coming to 'a place to start'? Do you seriously think I haven't changed at all since I first showed up here?

Would you quit twisting my words? I never said you haven't changed. Everyone has room for improvement.

Sure, but calling this a 'place to start' like I got assigned to you yesterday is more than a little -

Ugh, whatever. I don't know what'll help me on the road towards graduating, okay? As far as I can see, doing all the 'normal person' stuff like dating and having friends is making me worse.

A place to start for the new year, Shego.

Making you worse how?

If you can't work it out for yourself

It doesn't matter. I was resoluting, right? Right. Here's your list:

1) Develop or rediscover or - I don't know - somehow acquire a new skill. A hobby, I guess. Something I don't know how to do right now that isn't do to with my previous employment.

2) Teach somebody how to do something. Again, okay, no hotwiring cars or breaking vaults open or anything. Something constructive.

3) Work out what I'd do with my life and how I'd go about it, if I was doing what I do now.

I can't believe how lame this is and how lame you are. You might as well say I can pick out three kinds of rope but you're still gonna ask me me hang myself.

Then I guess that's the one I'm doing.

[And now... to be random.]

Thanks for not leaving me to fend as a baby for two days, by the way.

Whatever, it was that or have to put up with you screaming at the wall. Kind of a no-brainer.

It was still a nice thing to do.

It was one hundred pre cent self-interest. Just because it was also to your advantage doesn't make it a nice thing to do.

Nope, even if it's totally selfish, you still helped someone else.

Yeah, okay.
