Friday, Dec. 31, 2010- The 'What Grinds my gears about New Years Eve' Edition

Currently: So what grinds my gears with New Years eve? It's not so much the drinking and the ball drop (those are actually the best parts), but AFTER the damn ball drops! For one, you have all these annoying fricking couples kissing on eachother, thus showing off the fact that they have 'someone' to start the New Year with. And then you have me, who looks over and sees no one but my mother and brother (though I love you guys!). Seriously. Every year. That is what I get. And then ON TOP of that, you have that really depressing (in my opinion) "Ole lang sine" (excuse my spelling) song playing, reminding me even more of how craptastic each passing year was...and that more 'crap' is to come...lovely! But eventhough I am left feeling this way every New Years Eve, I watch the Ball drop anyway...just because I don't feel right missing out on the 'ole tradition...unless i'm out actually DOING something. Anyways, so that's it with my rant. While we are on this topic, I have also determined what my New Years resolution will be: I will quit giving into impulses. I have already gone about a month and a half without smoking (minus when I drink), so this is a realistic resolution. Amongst these 'impulses,' includes going on facebook ONCE a week instead of every frickin day...and I have assigned friday as 'facebook day.' I have also vowed to not eat unless I am GENUINELY hungry! I have lost 15 pounds in the past couple of months, but I don't feel like I'm losing weight as quickly and fluidly as I want to, so maybe this will help. I want to look the way I did in 8th grade again, damnit! And that is all. Happy New Years everyone!
