So, it's January 2nd already, and I'm still in love with 2009. This is, thus far, one day longer than I have been in love with any year following the Ball dropping.
This year, I actually missed the ball drop. And I'm ok with that. I was blithering-idiot-drunk, I was in a basement full of people I didn't know, and I was holding a glass of champagne in one hand and a red solo cup of Miller Light in the other. But I was with the man I love, and it was the start of something new. I actually cried a little as I looked around that room. I don't remember the last time I'd been so hopeful. That's the only way I can describe it.
Needless to say, I had a supremely awesome New Year's Eve. And I was a little apprehensive at first, because wouldn't I have more fun hanging out with my roommates, just getting drunk in the living room? Who cares, I ended up having a blast.
I have so much to look forward to this year, and I've got nothing but time on my hands.
Resolutions? Sure.
1. Get better at introducing people. I really suck at that. This is number one because I think it's one that can very realistically be accomplished.
2. Get a full time teaching job.
3. If number two can not be completed as dialed, continue the sub game and start grad school.
4. Go somewhere. Take a vacation. Take a mini road trip. Just get out of NEPA for some period of time.
5. Relax more. Don't pre-freak. Case in point? Z2K9...I freaked, got myself upset, and then my Zune fixed itself. This resolution will also be known as Operation: Calm the Fuck Down or O:CtFD.
6. Get a little more organized. Bring up the filing cabinet. Get my shit for my taxes in order. So on, so forth.
7. Stop drinking so much fucking soda. This is last on the list, because I already suck at it, and I don't expect to be able to actually keep this one.
I woke up this morning, and my paycheck was already in my account. Sometimes hard work does pay off. I am extremely happy. What more can I ask for?

I am definitely looking forward to 2009 as well. Glad you had a great New Year's Eve and your resolutions sound like they'll be doable. I resolved this year to put my happiness first, since that didn't really happen last year. You're on my blogroll, too.
