Firsts and Lasts

You know, it's strange. Most people in my position (which I'll explain shortly after) would have said that their New Year's Eve sucked hardcore but I rather enjoyed it and wouldn't change it for what it was.

To summarize, I:

• Ate from Pizza Hut for supper.
• Submitted a short chapter of my fanfiction.
• Bowled several games of 10-pin from 6-9 with my family.
• Babysat my cousin's sleeping baby (so it's glorified house-sitting, really) from 9:30 to 1:30ish so he and his wife could attend a New Year's Eve party.
• Basically watched House episodes I haven't seen before from the box-sets I brought on my laptop.
• Listened to a little music and did a little post-posting editing on said chapter (I was in a rush).
• Was paid far too much money for house-sitting but felt good that I did them a favour.
• Came home to an assortment of junk food to find my favourite Tim Hortons donut EVAR.
• Ate said donut. It was yummy.
• Went on internet to do some stuff.
• Typing this blog. (i.e. this present moment)

The weird thing was that I was happy to be essentially by myself just watching House episodes, not empty or feeling like a loser because I wasn't at some kind of party or whatever. I figure it's simply the distinction between literally being alone and being alone in a crowd that made the difference and anyone's whose ever experienced the two can surely tell you that the latter is by far worse. With a party or any social gathering, I have this bad habit of expecting something, whatever that may be, to happen and every time, it doesn't. With choosing to do my older cousin a favour, I already knew that nothing was gonna happen and I was content to be by myself and do whatever without being near anyone.

Boy, is my introverted side showing? Haha. Might as well add in a quote from Final Fantasy VIII's Squall Leonhart while I'm at it. I know one off of the top of my head:

"As long as you don't get your hopes up, you can take anything... You feel less pain."

There. Now this blog is officially full of awesome. Hehe. No wait, I think this'll make it officially full of awesome (this is pulled from http://www.john-rzeznik.com/ by the way):

"Just got back from the concert. It was awesome, just completely fucking great, one of the better ones I’ve attended, I swear John gets hotter every single time I see him, and my body hurts absolutely everywhere, so a real update will have to wait until tomorrow. Meanwhile, I will be dreaming about the way John ran offstage and kissed Melina for serious OMG THEY ARE SO ADORABLE I LOVE THEM FOREVER!! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO MEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"

Oh and some interesting/odd factoids about my night:

Last Song Played in 2008: All In The Suit That You Wear - Stone Temple Pilots
First Song Played in 2009: Here Is Gone - Goo Goo Dolls
Last Item Purchased in 2008: A 5-pack of different coloured iPod skins ($2.22 for the win!)
First Thing Eaten in 2009: Wheat Thins

Anyway, I think this year will rock considering I started it on such awesome terms but we'll have to wait 'n see. Either way, ciao for now. Gotta sleep. :D

What do you got to move you darling?
