   Cindy:    OK, I will go first.  In January, I will catalogue 
*1000* additional messages!
 
 <waits for excited murmuring to die down>

  Eloise:
   I'd paused halfway through a block. I'll finish that  one and 
commit myself to another 500. If I find I can do more, I will.
 
   <Trying very hard to look excited at the prospect.>
 
Debbie:

I see the pace has been set at a punishing 1000 posts per person.  
I'm committed to finishing my current block (750 to go as of 1/1/03), 
and if there's another 250 to be siphoned off from someone else who's 
been diverted to other work, I'll take that, too.  
 
 <contemplating expediting completion of present message block by 
simply coding "Twins" and "Bullying" into every line, as accuracy 
loss would be minimal. ;-}>

me:

(shifting very guiltily in seat).

New Year Resolutions? naah, I always break them. But, I am determined 
to start working for my course which means getting an assignment done 
for Thursday. Then, it's to finish my Quidditch FAQ by the end of 
January. I think I've started writing it, but it might have been 
another Quidditch post so I need to check my "in progress" pile - 
currently hidden as I've got people staying and am pretending to be
a) tidy and
b) not hooked on Harry.

After all that I have an as yet unstarted block of 1000 I need to 
start on - oh yeah, and mock exams in February.

Ali feeling hassled but off to eat an Indian takeaway  accompanied by 
a bottle of wine to console herself.
