So, it’s February now, but I still haven’t completed this 365, so here’s what I can remember of New Years:
I cut up a shirt I got from the op shop and decided to wear my tights, because they were my main attire through out 2010, so it felt right to end the year in them, too.
We went around to Lauren’s for pre-drinks, but I wasn’t drinking because a) I just didn’t want to, and it being New Years wasn’t suddenly going to make me, and b) I was leaving to Armidale very early the next day and I didn’t want to have a hangover while I went around those bends.
So I sat and watched while everyone played drinking games, which as fun.
Eventually we decided to go to Maccas, then Brooke’s 18th party. I was designated driver for obvious reasons, so I drove them around, and eventually Madison wanted to go home cause she’d had this virus for a few days and was tired, so I took her, and I took Mel to her place to change her shoes, etc, etc. Those girls are really fucking appreciative when you drive them around. It’s like no one’s ever done a favour for them before so they say thank you 3 billion times and give you ridiculous amounts of petrol money. I don’t usually get petrol money because it’s my choice to drive someone somewhere, I could always say no, and I feel uncomfortable being given money from my friends. But they insisted and I scored like, $20. It was ridic.
Dropped in at the carnival and midnight was an anti-climax, because there were no fireworks and it was just groups of friends scattered everywhere looking at their phones at various points and realising that it was past midnight.
After midnight, a group of of went and sat by the river, laughing at Sophie being dramatic over a lack of midnight kiss, and I eventually drove her home, then went home myself.
It was a pretty uneventful New Years, but I’m fine with that. I’m not very in to celebrating the passing of time, any way. I’m more of a mourner.

Let me just say, without a hint of irony, 2010 was the best year of my life. The years just seem to be getting better and better and so many important, beloved people came into my life during the year. And I managed to have a stress-less Year 12, while also having the most social year I’ve experienced, too. I had a good balance in 2010 and that’s what’s important. I’m glad it was the year I chose to document.
