Hurry up 2005

New years eve is so overrated. I recall the only time we really attempted to celebrate was more than a few years back. We went out in the city. My pal hooked up with a guy and left me and the boy to wait for her for half the night on a bench near chicken gourmet. At around 5am we found her and tried to get a taxi. The line was wrapped half way around the block. I think we managed to get a NightRider Bus that dropped us to our door- never again. The next year we took a different approach and watched the fireworks by the lake. It was freezing cold and we weren't dressed appropriately. We had to rush home to pick up a few warm jumpers which were later all taken by friends leaving us freezing. There is a point to all this- after a few years of not celebrating we have decided to try again. We are going to dinner at a friends. Hopefully it will be low key and we can disappear at a reasonable hour!
