Auld Lang Syne
Summer is here, and I should hope it is here to stay for at least a few months. It wasn't that I didn't like the unexpected downpoar of rain, I live in a drought stricken country after all. But that's happened, I'm over it, time for some beaches, bikini's and sundresses thankyouverymuch! The sun is especially welcomed since Charlotte's grandpa (who is decidedly middle classed) has ditched the country and his house, leaving Charlotte and in extension the fabulous four, and in specifics me, freedom to pretty much do what ever we want. This house is pretty much the coolest holiday miracle which ever could have occurred, it has a pool, cable, excess of food and most importantly it gives us space to generally deal in all that is debaucherous and fun. So this years New Year's Eve will actually be great, as opposed to my previous family New Year's Eve parties which mainly consist of me watching Moulin Rouge for the forty sixth time and bashing my head against a stone wall. New Years is not for family, it's for the people you like, Christmas is sacrificed on the relations altar of pain but there comes a time when you just have to start spending New Years in a way that would either make my family very proud or very, very mad. Actually I didn't spend all of Christmas with my family either, after recieving some (actuallysuprisingly) pretty cool gifts, I went over to Adj's and watched THEMIGHTYBOOSH!! which was obviously like a googleplex more times more productive then anything I would have done in the habitual arena.
That is because THEMIGHTYBOOSH!! is pretty much the coolest thing I have ever seen, ever.
Anyway, New Years meme. I love em.
