A Fresh Start in 2008
At The Drive-In - InitiationAt least that is what I’m hoping for. Happy New Year! 
To kick things off this new year, I’ve added a brand new theme. You should click here if you’re still seeing Mariah Carey. Also, I “retired” two of my older themes, so you won’t see those anymore. Anyway, I made a few resolutions for this year, I’ve listed them below.
Lose weight! This is at the top of the list, because I do not want to be self-conscious this summer like I was last. No more yo-yo dieting for me! Get out more. I’ve been depressed for what seems like a year. My father says that I need to make an effort to overcome it, which means getting up earlier and forcing myself to go out. Get in school. Stop dreaming and talking about it and just get there, already! Money can’t hold me back if I want it bad enough. Post more often. This year will be my blog’s 4th anniversary, no slowing down now!
That’s it! I hope I can meet them, I know things can get busy but I will try not to make excuses. 2008 must be a constructive year for me! So out of curiosity, what is your #1 resolution this year?
I did the 100 Movie Challenge in ‘06, but forgot to do it last year, so I’m definitely doing it for ‘08. If you’re interested, you can participate also (the more, the merrier!) and we can link eachother as “fellow challengers”. Just leave me a comment or email me to be added.
oooh, I’m up for the 100 Movie Challenge ^^
I planned to do it last year but just never did xD
I’ll set my page up later and link you

Oh, I’d love to do the 100 Movie Challenge!!!
I’ll set my page up later too. :D
I’ve actually seen one today already…does that count?
I hope you meet all your New Year’s resolutions! ^_^
And thank you for commenting on my blog, btw :D
Happy 4th anniversary to your blog! ^_^

The 100 Movie Challenge thing sounds awesome, I’ve always thought I’d never be able to stick to it but I might go for it this year!
As for New Year’s resolutions, I don’t even bother with them any more, because let’s face it: how many people stick to them?! I certainly don’t, hahah.
Awesome layout, by the way! I really like it!
P.S. I have no idea what that ‘car’ thing is on my blog! That’s why we took a picture of it, because it was so weird - plus it says ‘Mr Coffee - he’s so frothy’ and we found it hilarious!
- Clazz
The new theme looks very nice. I never heard of “At the drive-in” before though. Any song suggestions?
Good luck with sticking to your resolutions and happy birthday to your blog!
I haven’t made any resolutions…never do.
The 100 movie challenge sounds interesting but I probably won’t join since I don’t watch so many movies. I challenged myself to read 100 books this year though :)
Have a happy new year!
- tina
I love this layout!
And yea.. when Mariah came out, I was like “???!” and me and my mom said “She might has well came out wearing nothing at all if she was going to wear that.”
- Katlyn
Good luck with the fresh start! I didn’t make any resolutions this year, but one of my goals is to improve my website (layout & content-wise).
- Anya
I love this layout! Its simple yet creative. :)
I hope you achieve your resolutions? If that makes sence :P
- Laura
Hmmm that challenge seems cool. IDK if I have the drive to do it though, I might. lol. My top goal is to get a closer relation w/ God and a close second is obtaining money for school. No more loans for me, I just can’t do it! Good luck w/ accomplishing your goals.
- Mimi
Omg! The new layout looks amazing.
I really love it =]
Good luck on accomplishing your goals.
I don’t know whats my new year resolutions.
I never had one. =] =]
Thanks for the gift and best of wishes for you.
- Shaine
I never does those new year resolutions. I could never stick to them, I would always forget them eventually. xD
I’m loving the layout, it’s really clean and simple.
Movie challenge….hmmm……..
- Matt

- Cher

- emerhley
happy new year! i dont have resolutions for this year. lol. i dont even make up for it. i just have to keep things in mind.. i wanna lose weight too! my flabs on my tummy are gaining more fat. lol. i’d better quit on junk food.
- ivee
The theme is really nice. Good luck getting all your goals accomplished this year.
My number 1 resolution is to learn how to eat so I can gain weight. I am severely underweight. Other than that, I have no other goals other than to just roll with the flow and see where time’ll take me.
- Jaleesa
Good luck on all your resolutions; hope you had a great New Year’s. I’d totally do the 100 Movies challenge, but I have a really short attention span, and therefore hardly sit tight through a whole movie.
- Ramsha
I like your new layout. It looks great :D Everyone is so good at putting pictures together. I wonder why I can’t do it.
Good luck with your resolutions. I don’t make them for myself personally. I just try to get things done and have fun doing them. There’s nothing in particular that I really need to improve about myself. Well, okay that is a lie. But nothing that motivates me enough to change.
- Deanna
I have many New Year’s resolutions, but I think my number one priority would be to get organized. Gah… I’m so unorganized.
- Katlyn
Good luck with your resolutions! They all sound pretty attainable. I actually never make New Year’s resolutions - I’m never able to keep them. *lol* I just try to get done the things I need to throughout the year without really thinking about making the decision to do them. Does that make sense? ;)

My challenge page is up! ^_^

New Year’s resolutions rock. I love making lists, so this is always a good time to do that. ;) Good luck with yours. I posted my list just yesterday, so if you’re interested just hop on by. ;)
I’m partaking in a bunch of challenges this year. Photography, books, movies, etc… I’m going to be busy! :D
Happy New Year!
- Aemen
I didn’t really make any resolutions this year lol. There’s nothing I’m making an effort to do that I wasn’t already making an effort for in 2007!
- Arwen
Great resolutions, I hope you stick with them! Getting out more and going to school should make you more active which should help with your first resolution of weight loss!
- Genesis
Resolutions are hard fucking work!
I want to become vegan and the most Green possible, so more making excuses. If you’re really serious about losing weight/becoming healthier, you should read the book Fit for Life by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond. And I’ve heard that potassium helps ease depression symptoms (dates contain five times the amount of K as bananas).
To answer your question from last week: I was baptized Greek Orthodox but consider myself Agnostic, with a heavy emphasis on disbelief in organized religion.
- Rachel
Thanks for the gift!
Love the new theme. I actually don’t have any new years resolutions this year. I’ve complete most of them last year so don’t think there will be a list this year. Maybe try to blog more but probably not..
I’d like to participate, sign me up.
- GG
I listened to your radio some days ago…At the drive-in are super awesome…
Thanks to you I know a new great band now <3
(wow,I sound like a suck-up ^^)
- tina

Take Care!
-xoxo-
- Babyjen
Good luck on your resolutions! I wanted to get in shape too (tone my tummy, hehe!) I read that if you bought some new workout clothes, that motivates you to actually go work out!
- Steph
I love the new layout. It’s snazzy. :)
I’m definitely going to do the movie challenge. I already set up a page and whatnot. :)
- Ashley
Happy New Year :)
Your new layout looks awesome!
I think my resolution for this year will be to exercise more - not necessarily loose weight, just tone up. And save some money instead of spending it all!! Good luck with your resolutions.
