New Years, huzzah!
HOKAI so we're in 2009. Kinda cool, kinda scary. The progression of time itself; although its happening constantly, the new year's event in general, and build ups toward it, or just starting a new year, gives it that extra kick. Hit by a wave of new thoughts, not knowing what to think.
ahhh.. ok. Well, i'm just gonna go through my new year's eve / day.
Most of the day of new year's eve was pretty normal, I was just hanging around with the sis, cleaned my room some, watched some tv, and later in the day I had a guest! My BESTFREN came over, woo! I had prepared lots of snack things for the occasion. Snacks and films were to be had and watched, and Oreo's were to be stolen! Actually, now I just remembered trying to make meringues, or something =p, earlier that day. I failed, but I'm hoping to try again soon, and I'm sure I'll get it right this time.
Me n the fren spent some time playing rayman for ps1 (retro, excellent) and my sis was on the comp playing sims 2, for which I have maaaany an expansion. A bit later we were called downstairs for some drinks - my sister doesn't drink, so there in the front room drinking were my mum, her friend April, me, and Karina - and we were watching tv. They were showing the countdown thing. The drink, I believe, was a martini and champagne mix, which was actually really nice. It tasted like fruits and hardly like alcohol. Oh and we did the 'cheers' thing, what with the clanging cups and such. My mum is a really light drunk, but it's funny.
Upstairs, me and fren and bro and sis watched some Summer Heights High in my room, where there was much talking and laughing.
Later on me and karina watched a film called 'The Devil's Backbone'. It came as part of a box set of Guillermo Del Toro films. My wrists suffered much choking at the hands of a jumpy karina because of that film, but it was kinda funny.
"Louis"
"..yeah?"
"..you lose"
".. >_>"
Then it was Cronos, downstairs. The christmas tree needs to come down already, I'm tired of being sat on the side of the couch where half of what's meant to be tv screen is tree... =) cronos had a few scary moments, and I might have liked it more if I could have stopped myself from dozing off every few moments or so.
Most of new years day was spent sleeping, amazingly. Having been up till 10.40 or so that morning, it's pretty understandable. Ah, and my friends!
Friends that I was supposed to see 'The Spirit' with, oh they weren't impressed. Having slept through the time I was supposed to be with them. I totally get it, and they've a right to be pissed off, and I probably should have seen the film with them / spent some time with em, for the first time in a long while. It's sort of ok though, because the friend I'm most concerned about out of the group is okay with me. It's not ok, really.
Gordan, I haven't spoken to Gordan in an age. I wonder what he's up to. Wether he's fed up with me already. I think I mentally exert myself on him much too often and without as much hesitation or restraint as I should feel a need for. He now has a text that's 7 sms (texts, basically. I dont know what sms stands for) long on his phone waiting to be read. I'm interested in what his reaction will be.
But yes, once karina had to leave, after waking up, I remained awake having also gotten up and, after bidding farewells, retired to my now, then, and currently mini sewn heart-pillow, oreo and karina-less room. Oh but not before spending a little time downstairs with mum n sis.
I know it's probably not very 'me' to say, but I do wish a lot of people a happy new year, as cliche as it may be. Then again, I don't like to go along with and allow new year's to act as this unecessarily long interval for people to finally change, or to wish happiness for people even and have happiness wished for them. Screw new year's resolutions, how about morning resolutions? Weekly, perhaps. Give yourself something to do each day. Which reminds me that I, perhaps with part inspiration from what I just wrote (=P), and with my new sketchbook, plan to make a sketch a day; that is, at least one sketch. Perhaps it'll help me feel like I'm doing a bit more, which is always a good thing, and a fren said it was a good idea too. So, happy new- no, happy... happiness for ye all.
