I never really understood what Auld Lange Sine meant anyway
This year resolve to make at least one person happy every day, and then in ten years you may have made three thousand, six hundred and fifty persons happy...
Delightful idea in theory, in practice however not as easy as it sounds. But maybe it's something to strive for. If you haven't noticed yet, I'm all about the quotes, especially lately.
So tonight my parents' are having an NY party, yes they're well aware that new years' was yesterday, but because of their recent attempts to be better Jews they decided it wouldn't be appropriate to have one yesterday. It's funny how the rest of my family is becoming more interested in religion, as I find myself becoming less so. Well, maybe that's not exactly true. I'm just really questioning my beliefs right now, and trying to make some of my own decisions about how I want to practice, and I think my family has trouble accepting that because they are in a very different spiritual place than I am. My living away from home makes it easier all around, I guess and keeps them from branding me a heretic.
People are just starting to arrive which means this is my cue to escape before it's too late. I don't mind the majority of my parents friends, especially because I grew up with many of their kids. There is just this one couple (who are in my living room right now) who have always come off as uppity,holier-than-thou, know-it-alls to me. Maybe my parents see something in them that I can't. Maybe I'm just a judgemental person?! Maybe I should go now...

This is more like it-
"It depends on us... Another year lies before us like an unwritten page, an unspent coin, an unwalked road. The pages will read, what treasures will be gained in exchange for time, or what we find alone the way, will largely depend on us."
