Well, it's happened as it does every once per year: it's New Year's Eve. NYE is without a doubt my least favorite holiday of the year. It comes fast, just a week after my favorite holiday of the year. I think I'd rather take ten more single years on Valentine's Day than do New Year's Eve. Okay, I take that back. I don't totally want to curse myself. Sure, there is a lot of pressure at Christmas to find the perfect gift, catch-up with relatives, all that, but on New Years you have to do a lot of scary things: 1. Reflect on 365 days. 2. Plan for the next 365 days. and 3. Have the BEST NIGHT EVER! I woke up this morning and seriously considered going back to bed until tomorrow. Reflecting in small doses I can totally handle, but an entire year is a lot of reflection. And BEST NIGHT EVER! I definitely cannot handle that pressure. Maybe because my version of the BEST NIGHT EVER! would be going to bed at like 10pm after watching Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, and drinking a couple of mimosas but NOT having to pee afterwards. Can you imagine drinking legit anything and not having to pee afterwards?! That really WOULD be the best night ever. Legit even a glass of milk past 7 can ruin a night for me. I'm going to be terrible at being elderly.
Anyway, I guess I could do a mini-year-in-review type of thing. Here goes....
Accomplishments:
1. Graduated from masters program.
2. Sort of got life together.
3. Got an orange cat.
4. Moved into cute apartment.
5. Can make it through yoga without having a laughing fit/can sort of do the wheel.
Things I've learned:
1. 99% of men love whiskey and craft beer.
Yeah, that's pretty much it for what I've learned...Though to go further: I went on a lot of dates in the last year and looking back it has been a pretty ridiculous experience. I would like to see a cartoon version of myself going on dates. I would sit home and watch that on TV. I guess I say that because I felt like I was in a cartoon on most of these dates, like I was dating the exact same person in a slightly different cartoon body over and over again. This was a weird paragraph. Pretend it didn't happen.
So, what do I want to get out of 2015?!
Answer: adventure! Well, adventure that happens before 10pm of course. I have done a lot of the "getting life together" and now I am ready for "adventure before 10pm". It's gonna be great!! Or something. It'll be something.
