A First for 2010
Kiss me at midnight, dance until the morning light
party into the new year
I got my first new year's midnight kiss =)
Squee! :D
It was cute. Fun. With a boy from Alabama. He had a cute southern accent, haha. I'll probably never see him again in my life, but I had a freakin' great time. It makes me smile.
But the best part of new year's was that I got to ring in 2010 with my oldest best friends, Shelby and Laura. We've been friends for ten years. Or almost ten years. But either way, wow. I love them.
AND - and and AND - first, background info: the party we were at was at a house rented by some guys we knew from high school, so there were a lot of people we knew there. OKAY, SO. An old friend of mine (who I'd had a HUGE crush on for the majority of high school) admitted to me that he'd had an extremely large crush on me then, too! It just never worked out. Of course, I had to tell him my secret too, and we had such a laugh about it. Man, I've had this journal for so long there's probably entries about him in here somewhere. The whole thing makes me think, though - how would my life be different now if we had dated? To be quite honest, I think I'm better off.
At said party, I also accomplished my goal of seeing a bunch of people from high school and basically giving off the vibe of "HEY LOOK AT ME, I'M COOL NOW!" See, in high school, I didn't go to a single party. I spent every weeknight doing homework, and the weekends laying low with friends and family and doing homework. (Though I did go to the occasional sporting event.) On the bright side, everyone thinks I'm a genius child. Well, probably just pretty smart. Intelligent. On the not so bright side, they probably think I have no life. I've changed so much since going away to college and, even though I know I shouldn't care, I wanted to show those people the fun side of me. It was always there - I was never trying to be someone that I'm not - but I was always too shy to be adventurous in high school. It's like the stories you hear about the total nerds in high school who come to the class reunion filthy rich, successful, married to attractive people and with beautiful children. Everyone wants that, right? I got a little piece of it that night, so HA! Take that, high school.
In other news: Perfectly Lonely by John Mayer is the story of my life. At least, in terms of relationships.
Nothing to do, nowhere to be
A simple little kind of free
Nothing to do, no one but me
And that's all I need
I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely, yeah
'Cause I don't belong to anyone
And nobody belongs to me
