1. I will stop biting myfingernails, including the fake ones.

2. I will stop lying. Grandmereknows when I am lying anyway, thanks to my traitorous nostrils whichflare every

    time I tell a fib, so it's not like there is even apointin trying to be less than truthful.

3. I will never veer from theprepared script while delivering televised addresses to the Genovianpublic.

4. I will stopaccidentally saying French swear words in front of theladies-in-waiting.

5. I will stop letting Francois, my Genovian bodyguard,teach me French swear words.

6. I will apologize to the Genovian Olive Growers'Association for that thing with the pits.

7. I will apologize to the Royal Chef for slippingGrandmere's dog that slice of foie gras (even though I have told the

    palace kitchen repeatedly that I do not eat meat).

8. I will stop lecturing the Royal Genovian Press Corpson the evils of paparrazism.

9. I will achieve self-actualization.

10.I will stop thinking so much about Michael Moscovitz.

Oh, wait. It's OK for me tothink about Michael Moscovitz, BECAUSEHE IS MY BOYFRIEND NOW!!!!!!!!
