I don't do New Year's resolutions: for me, they feel artificial and ineffective. (This is a statement like "I don't eat peanut butter", not intended to generalize beyond the speaker.)
Thus, I'm also not going to be answering the "what do you want from $poster in 2006" meme. Well, that and because it feels presumptuous and/or at the wrong level. For the most part, what I want from my friends in 2006 is what I wanted from them in 2005: that's how friendship works for me. I may want or need specific things from people--either specific people, or my friends as a group--and some of those needs may be in 2006, but they're not predictable. I'm not planning a wedding or the birth or adoption of a child or a graduation, a significant event that can be predicted in advance.
