Fresh New Year
Happy New Year, nineteen hours late ...
So I drove up to a friends' house last night. There were seventeen of us there, all but three of them perfect strangers to me. We played Mad Gab and Mafia until midnight, then went outside and lit sparklers. Back inside for games until 3; then everyone left and the 2 of us who were staying overnight helped clean up until bedtime at 4. A very interesting time.
This is only the second time I've spent New Year's outside of the bosom of my family; last year I was abandoned in favor of Mom's eye surgery. I wonder if that means I'm grown up yet.
