Starting Today...

Look at this, it is a new year. Is that not the most amazing thing that can happen , next to a birthday maybe.

New Years Eve! The last of 2006. I had a new years eve party, a bunch of friends showed up. Caitlin, Beth, Nikita, Toby, Michelle, Bex, Maureen, and Adrianne. People came at different times but we mostly played board games all night, which was great. We ate lots of food and laughed, except when we turned out all the lights because I was going to scare michelle when she came through the back door - had a pillow fight and bent Maureen's glasses and made her nose ring bleed. Accident! I felt bad, but she was alright mostly. We played Worst Case Scenario until Nikita got there, then we talked a while and played Cranium.

CRANIUM HELPED ME MAKE THIS BLOG - one of the questions there was - spelling, and caitlin had to spell gamut - she said gammit (we had thought of gametes first), but then later I looked it up and it means the entire range of color possible in a specific output. Also it can mean certain measurements of music, so I figured, something colorful and exciting was Life's Gamut, which is all ranges of color, possibilities, etc.

Everyone except Nikita and Adrianne left around 11:30 (I KNOW RIGHT? BEFORE THE BALL DROPPED haha) Then we all sat around listening to the Emo music that was playing on whatever station we were watching. They were recapping big events of 2006, mostly talking political in the last few minutes.

BOOM - <-- that was Adrianne jumping off a chair at midnight, we went back to my room after Adrianne left and cleaned up. Bex stayed and talked for a while then went to bed, but not before a fun conversation about queefing (because Nikita was making noises with the clay that sounded like queefing) so we talked about that for about a half hour, it was hilarious. Bex went to bed and Nikita and I stayed up until 5am talking about kids, politics, board games, alcohol, family, who the hell knows, we were delirious by 5. I got up about an hour or so ago, my throat is sore from hollering during trivial pursuit last night, but oh well. Tonight, Cait, Nikita, and I are gonna be slumbering over at Beth's, having some drinks since we did not drink here last night, and just play games / watch movies / etc. We got a bunch of Smirnoff and some Midori melon liqueur - which is my absolute favorite ! YAY. So, It is 1:38, Nikita should be waking up soon, then we may all go to a movie or do something fun until 6ish when we go over to Beth's and have a fun night. Who knows what crazy stuff will happen! IT IS A WHOLE NEW YEAR! haha.

Starting Today - Natalie Imbruglia
Starting today
I'm not gonna waste another moment
Even if I had had the chance before
I would have blown it

But you took me by surprise
And you caught me just in time

Everyday
You give me reason not to walk away
I'll stop believing that the world's gone crazy
And if it is you'll save me

Starting Today
I'm not gonna worry about tomorrow
I'll wash away
All this fear that's left me feeling hollow

I would really love for this to be the song of the New Year. Minus the fact it is a good song, when I listen to it, I always look up at the sky and think "today is change", and sometimes it may be, but usually it is not as change is an over time thing usually, but I really want to try to live more, and do the things I didn't get to do last year, and it seems corny to care about that during the new year, but the world is a crazy friggin' place with a lot going wrong, so we should make the best of it and not take things from granted.

Sub-Note = As per this blog, and I do not do well keeping up blogs so I will probably not do it every single day, I hope to blog as much as possible about my memories of the things that are going on because I remember reading some older blogs and laughing and thinking how much i'd grown, and I think that is a really great experience, so I want to blog a lot in 2007, because it is just awesome.
