How I Rang in the New Year

On New Year's Eve, I went to see The Fighter with Jen J. It was really great [but that gets its own post].

After that, I showered and got ready for New Year's Even festivities. Mum and I went to the Royal Buffet [the one on Rt. 10?] for dinner with a bunch of Mum's friends, and then we went CONTRA DANCING! I had a lot of fun and met some people. I didn't dance much because I'm too shy to ask other people myself; I just wait to get asked. Eventually, Mum got mad at me so we went home.

I wanted to do something "meaningful" as my first actual action of 2011. So I decided to watch The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.

The New Year, however, was actually rung in this way: I was IMing Liam, while changing, while getting FotR ready for viewing, so the actual 11:59 to 12:00 moment was spent with me looking for my xbox controller with no pants on and a trillian conversation window open on my desktop. Classeh. I couldn't find my xbox controller so I brought everything downstairs and watched the beginning of FotR and continued chatting. And then my eyes started doing the whole WE'RE TIRED SO WE'RE GOING TO MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE burning thing. So I turned off FotR [only at the Prancing Pony! *sob*] and headed back upstairs for a long nighttime nap.

If the first hour of the year is any inclination, 2011 is going to be a really weird, probably painful year, with some good sprinkled in. Uh-oh.

Now, with that all said, I just want to wish you an amazing new year, filled with luck and love and happiness. See you in 2011.
