Apathetic Anglophile seeks New Year's Kiss.
Jessica's New Year's Highlights and Lowlights: Starring your favourite apathetic anglophile, me...Jess! (as posted on my Xanga)
Lowlights:
- The fact that within 5 minutes of entering my mum's best friend Sonien's New Year's Eve Party, my outfit (which was a pink flowery Charlotte Russe dress) seems to make me the overdressed one so far -- not to mention that my three-inch heels are already killing me.
- Another 5 minutes later, at the hors d'huerves table, a middle-aged man, Sonien's brother-in-law, comes up to me and asks me for my name again, which he seemed to forget despite the fact that I've been attending the same New Year's Eve party for three years in a row now. Anyway, doesn't seem so bad, right? Wrong -- coz the next thing I know, he throws at me the following insult comment:
"You gained weight, right?"
Yep, you can pretty much guess that the (polite) smile I had on my face turned down more than just a few notches. I then proceeded to put down the piece of Chicken a La King in my hand and went looking for my mum, who had left me all alone at the hors d'hearves table in the first place.
- Kareoke. 6 hours of a bottomless hellhole of KAREOKE!! And this time, it's not just a buch of filipinos singing -- which is bad enough if you ask me --but a bunch of drunk filipinos singing. Quelle merde!
- During the many kareoke sessions, I ended up eating away in the corner since there really was NOTHING BETTER TO DO!!! It was so boring, listening to them sing song after song.
- No New Year's kiss, as the party was deficient of any SINGLE cute guys. Damn't, where's Carl Barat or Pete Doherty when ya need 'em?!
- Line Dancing. 'Nuff said.
- To put the cherry on top of a fantastic year, some girl asked me the question I always dread most:
"Where do you go to school?"
Me: "...Jamaica High."
Girl: (in a fake sympathetic way, may I add) "Ohhhhhh."
OMFG Kill. me. now.
Highlights (if any at ALL):
- Had sip of champagne from the toast
- My make-up looked great??
Why does life have to SUCK ARSE? Porque, PORQUE?!?!?!?!?!?
Have a fucking Happy New Year.
