NYE

















well this year especially, there's been some controversy surrounding new year's and the 'going-on's'...mostly because once again people can't seem to decide what they want to do. either that or they're waiting for their friends to make up their minds, or maybe it's because they're magically waiting for something to spontaneously spring-up that might end up being better then what they currently have planned...

who knows??!! but for whatever reason, new year's has begun to gather some 'indecisive stigma' around it...maybe it's our age?? maybe we've reached that age when what would have before been an inviting and exciting thing to do, now seems a tad bit blase and unstimulating!

have we become so jaded about new year's that no matter what we do, or what parties we attend, or even how much we drink/drug nothing seems to meet our expectations??

there certainly is a certain amount of pressure that surrounds december 31st every year; we always get dressed up, drink tonnes, go to like 6 different parties, try and see EVERYONE at once, and all we end up doing is fighting or arguing with our friends over where to go next, or who to see, or how long to stay, or what to do afterwards!! in the end everyone ends up splitting up and doing their own things anyway...some come home pissed off, some end up throwing up, and some even end up taking someone home in a last minute fit of desperation in hopes of not waking up alone on new year's day!!

so this year i've decided to do something a bit different; i took matters into my own hands and decided to suggest a night out; dinner party, followed by dancing in a swanky downtown club! i even offered to buy the tickets for people as long as they emailed me the money on time! ok, yes i took some of my teaching initiative and set deadlines for people to follow, which certainly set a fire under some people's asses and got them in gear!! and it worked!!

now we all get to sit back, lift a glass, dance our asses off, and enjoy the evening!!

so to all of you who still remain undecided towards what they want to do tomorrow, i give this advice; close your eyes, take a breath, and go with your first instinct! lol!

but honestly as long as you're with the people you love on new year's, how could you have a bad time??!?! chances are your mind's already made up anyway!!

happy new year's my lovelies, 2007 certainly kicked my ass once or twice as i'm sure it did yours...but all in all, it wasn't half bad! there's a lot of things i learned, a lot of things i will never do again, and a lot of things i can't wait to try for the second time!!

but for details on those, you'll have to stay tuned for my confessions of 2007 entry...it's sure to be a juicy one!!
