Hello, 2008.

These are the things I did to ring in the new year:

New Year's Eve-Eve Party
I have a lot of diverse friends. I am not a "primary friend" to many/any of them, but I am a good friend to all of them. So when it comes to holidays, I am not the person they choose to spend it with. Because of this, I did a New Year's Eve-Eve party, and on Dec. 30th I had four friends hang out, play games, spend my $300 in gift cards to a bar and grill restaurant, and then watch DVDs. We were up until 4am. Then, because Ryan just came into town, we talked until 6am.

New Year's Eve
Woke up at 10am. Hung out with Ryan. Watched a bad movie, made molotov cocktails, exploded them and set off fireworks. We also left an orange traffic cone at an acquaintance's house. We wrote on it: "Happy New Year! Courtesy of your friendly neighborhood stalkers." She went to sleep at 1:00, and I went to sleep at 4:00.

New Year's Day
Gamed/hung out with Ryan and our good friend Red Beard The Pirate. We put on some movies. Ryan went to sleep at 3am, and Red Beard and I talked until 7am. I never went to sleep.

January 2
Played Star Wars Trivial Pursuit with Ryan, Red Beard, and Colin. They were a collective 3-person team, with 3 people in play in different parts of the board pooling their winning pieces together. I still won. Apparently I still have it in me. They had 3 times the turns, three times the people, and often easier questions. But I'm still a Star Wars god =) Went out, watched Star Wars. Ryan slept at 3:00, Red Beard at 5:00, Colin left at 6:00, and I never went to sleep.
