I wasn't gonna post this. But then, if I post it, y'all can keep me honest. (Geeez, true confessions...) A few of you will recognize how Downs-Related this is... Responsibility: finish the things I start.

Gee, I didn't do too badly in 2004.... Still going to work on it for 2005, though.

I don't really make New Year's Resolutions since I never seem to keep them, but I suppose I'll try a few.

1. I will continue my way through HoME, who knows, maybe I'll finish Lost Tales 2 ere the end of this year.

2. I will try to post more on the CbC thread, since doing so is fun and teaches me a lot, but it's so time consuming.

3. Maybe I'll join Fea in one of the Inns, or somewhere in the Shire. (Hah... then I will never finish HoME!)

4. I'd like to start a thread analyzing the movie scores; I tried it on the IMDb forums and it failed miserably, but I know we've got some people here who know quite a lot about music and such, and we could probably have some really good discussion on it. So perchance I shall do so. Nay, I shall. And if I don't, anyone who wants is allowed to pester me until I do.

Well, if I can think of a way to improve on my(admittedly already fabulous)self, I would do it straight away and not wait for a particular date on the calendar.

But I could possibly learn how to link to other threads. That would probably lessen the fury directed toward me....

You use the hyperlink tool (the button with the little globe on it) and the URL of the thread you want to link to.

I going to try to read The Letters of JRRT and continue my way through HoME - I rather stopped after the 4th...

Maybe Eomer should try to learn humility...

(Sorry, couldn't resist .)

Yes, but if you use the WYSIWYG editor (which is very nice otherwise), it doesn't give you a prompt for text, only the URL. So I just switch back to standard editor for the few times I hyperlink.
*EDIT: Check out the much more computer savvy Feanor below... Thanks Fea!

Erm... back on topic... I plan to re-read starting with the Hobbit, thru LotR, the Sil, UT, and HoME. Also the Letters and TA Shippey's Author of the Century. And Beowulf. If I get those last three for Christmas, that is. Of course this is mostly to keep myself entertained after my (leg) surgery and I'm laying around with nothing to do, but I know I'll enjoy it.

You can still do it. What you do instead is type in whatever you want for a word to use as a link, say for instance "Click Me" and you highlight it. After it is highlighted, click the hyperlink thingamajig, and paste in your URL. Click "OK" and it'll turn your highlighted section into the hyperlink.

Good luck with the surgery. I hope everything is okay.
