Happy New Year!
Ok, so here it is a new year. Hope 2007 is better than 2006, even for those who had a GREAT year last year. Nothing wrong with getting even better.
I suppose I should have put this post up earlier, but I spent pretty much the whole day recovering from a hangover. I don't normally get hangovers, regardless of how much I drink (I stay well clear of my limit). I maintain that it was the chamange at midnight that did me in. Champange is supposed to be a blush drink, right? This stuff was what they call "white". It looked sorta pale yellow to me. And it smelled like vomit. Unsuprising then, that that's what it eventually caused me to do. Oh, I was fine all night. Unbothered until about 7am, when my roommates and I were waking up and getting ready to leave--the boys were both supposed to be at work for 9am. By the time we actually got back to our own apartment (about 8am) I'd thrown up twice. I REALLY wanted a shower (to get the scent of the champange I'd spilled on my arms off me) and a nice nap. I wasn't inclined to put ANYTHING else in my system. Not even water.
Shaun offered to call out of work, as he didn't really want to leave me alone while I was sick. Especially considering the only other person who'd be home was recovering from a bout of illness herself. At first, I declined, because I didn't want him to miss out on needed money. But I later realized the wisdom of letting him take care of me, and he spent a good 20 minutes trying to call out (no one was answering the phone) before deciding he'd call back later. After a shower, I went to bed, partly 'cause I was still tired and partly 'cause at that point I could still barely stand on my own. I didn't wake up until about 2pm, and at that point I decided to try putting water into my system. When I managed to keep that down for an hour or so (while playing Trauma Center and getting annoyed with the syntactical and anatomical errors) I decided I was ready to put some food in my system. Toast stayed down for 3 hours, and then I decided to move up to mac and cheese, tea, and poking about on my computer. So yeah, that's kinda been my day. Great start for the new year, huh?
In all honesty, the party last night was great. Everybody but Mary (recovering from illness) got completely drunk. We played a bit of Smash Bros, I did not manage to pull off my little brother's trick with the Ice Climbers. Perhaps part of the problem was the stage. Or that I couldn't see the TV all that well anyway. Whatever. After two rounds I handed my controller to Mary because I was tired of it.
A pretty cool way to close out the year.
Perhaps another day I'll make a post of stuff that happened last year and/or my take on it. But, yeah, lots of stuff happened last year. Lots of things changed in various ways, good and bad.
And lots of stuff is going to change this year.
1. I will get my massage licence.
2. I will get my driver's licence.
3. I will get a better job than I've had--something a step up from retail cashier.
4. I will spend lots of time hainging out with friends.
5. I will get my own place--hopefully buy a house.
6. I will create passive income streams.
7. I will go on at least 1 vacation that has nothing to do with my family.
8. I will get my home presentably clean and keep it that way.
9. I will start hosting parties/get togethers on a semi-regular basis, work scheduals permitting.
10. I will get my business off the ground.
