Genesis, again.
I am very bad at sticking to things. (Which is odd, considering that I was described, at one point, as being 'sticky', in French, which was entirely, exactly true). I am bad at New Years resolutions precisely because of this, and so don't tend to make them very often. This year I have three, although they're all fairly abstract: Be a better

For New Year, we had 1 bottle of champagne between 8 of us. Sarah didn’t want hers, so I had half of it. So a glass and a half. After that I was practically asleep, yet was still able to apologise to a chair and a pair of jeans. Yes, I wasn’t even drunk! :-P
for the girls meant an excuse to wear a variety of very cool things, and everyone looked very lovely.
Ah yes, the wonders of being a girl. The amount of funkiful stuff you can wear, and still look smart! (Mum and I had a shopping spree today - I got 3 tops (2 purple, one had purple on!) and some Jeans (Purple! With a funkay belt). Meaning she called it a “good day”. Which meant that the rest of the day would be crap. Which it was. Hmph.)
We nattered and litened to music and played half a game of Monoploy (which I eneded up becoming vaguely involved in despite myself, and by twelve Helen and I owned about half of London and had a grand total of twelve pounds)
We had to play that, one night in between Christmas and New Year. I hate it, but my bro insisted. So I was banker. So didn’t have to do anything! ^_^. Phlips bought ‘Mayfair’ and the other dark blue one, then put houses and hotels on them. He still managed to end up with about 20000 marks, but the property value added up to about 103603 marks. Or something…
(all the cool kids are doing it, anyway).
*cries* are you saying I’m not cool?
The book with which I ushered in 2007, however, was not old at all. Wicked: the life and times of the Wicked Witch of the West
Ooh!!! I’ve read that! I didn’t find it especially interesting (especially as I got lost. Because I ended up just flipping through it to try and find interesting bits…) but I dragged Rachel to see the stage show on the 23rd December. Which ruled.

*laughs* We had someone who did something like that - one of the (other) Helens was absolutely knackered, poor thing, and was curled up in a chair for about half of the evening - and she couldn't even have half a glass of champagne, because alcohol + her liver=apparently a very, very bad mix...

Aye. With guys, it's pretty much a suit and a shirt and a tie. Bow-ties and waistcoats for those who want to or can carry them off. And whilst there's a big range of shirts and ties out there, it still doesn't give you much variation - which can be a blessing as much as it is a curse... :D

Hehehe. :D We played Risk when the Weatherheads came over when we were away. ]:) *cackles*
You have German Monopoly?

No - its just a somewhat ironic turn of phrase... :P:P:P

I really want to go see the stage show - and thanks to great praise from cousins, I may get the opportunity... :D:D:D
(Of it, not of me. :P)
