HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!

So, how did you spend your New Year's Eve? Fun? Folly? Asleep before 11:00pm?

I had a very fun night of dancing and cheap champagne, and even found myself a nice boy to kiss at midnight (and several times thereafter...) Terrible dancer, though! :D

I relaxed on the couch and immersed myself in a good book. Always refreshing. :)

For sure!

You KNOW I have to ask: what was the book? /nosey

Bwahahaha, quite glad you asked. :D

Robert Jordan, 'The Great Hunt'. I'm rereading it after some fifteen years and it's absolutely pwning me. Amazing book.

Wow, reading the description for that book really takes me back! Just reading the character names reminds of all the ridiculously intricate and complicated fantasy stories I read as a teen. I LOVE getting lost in those kind of books.

The Wheel of Time is amazing. I haven't read anything past the seventh book - except to get the highlights - and it's had an enormous impact on me, my life, and my writing from THAT much of it.

I don't read quite as much fantasy as I used to - hard, crunchy, dense scifi and a lot of nonfiction takes its place - but I still keep a hand in it. I started reading the WoT when I mad last year... and realised "aha, definitely time to reread."

And oh man. It's a lot different now. Tougher, more complicated, more of that oof challenging gut-punch sensation I love now.

Happy New Year!

Sounds like an awesome night! We went to an early dinner (it was -5 outside, brr) then went home to watch Dick Clark and also have cheap champagne :).

It was SO WARM here last night, I walked to the club without my coat! Unfortunately, it was raining on the walk back, and I was barefoot, because my shoes were killing me! COOOOLLLD FEET!

Cheap Champagne FTW! Where would New Year's be without it? ;)

Happy New Year!

Did he dance like Eleven? :P

Happy New Year!

Not as creative as Eleven, and with worse rhythm! He kept pulling me off balance and twirling me into other couples. However, being sweet and not trying to grope me on the dance floor made all of that easily forgiven!

I went out for a bit at the casino with my mom and then, with some mix feelings, went to meet some friends and accidentally slept with a childhood friend.

OH HOME. YOU ARE SO AWKWARD.

Dancing + cheap champagne + kissing lots sounds like a rad night.

When you say accidentally, I am picturing you tripping and falling on top of her. ;) (Why yes, I AM being intentionally dense...I am well aware of the "accidental" sex. Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt, etc.)

It was a rad night! All the more fantastic because it ended with Ramen noodles and teasing my friend about the hickey she got from a guy she brought home and THEN changed her mind about. Oops!

Well, there was quite a bit of tripping and falling! Lol. Yeah. I mean, it wasn't a bad thing. But it's just that I've been away for four years and so much has changed but sleeping with people from high school is always so strange. Especially since I helped her come out. LOL. OH MY LIFE.

the hickey she got from a guy she brought home and THEN changed her mind about: LOL. I love that she changed her mind. HILARIOUS. I love those conversations.

Trufax: I have never, ever slept with anyone from my high school. I am very, VERY ok with this! I just had my 10 year reunion (when did I get so old???), and though I didn't go, I heard stories from people who did. High school is almost like another dimension, IDEK...I feel like I was a different person entirely back then, but that can't be completely true, because I'm still friends with about a dozen people who went to school with me. \o/

The bestest, BESTEST part of that conversation? That the guy was in the other room (her bedroom, which is off the dining room) the whole time. I offered to go in there and give him the bad news, but she just kept shushing me.

Asleep before midnight... what a joke, huh?!

But my family feeling the irritation that builds with me being there avoided me after I put the little ones to bed. So I really should have read but instead I slept.

Happy New Year (again)! :D

HAPPY NEW YEAR (AGAIN AND AGAIN)!!!

Sleep is always good. Always and forever. And the end of Holiday Family Time is something to celebrate, right?

Oh, I had a blast! Even if I were one to be self-conscious under normal circumstances (I'm not), I had more than enough champagne to quiet that part of anybody's brain!
