succumbing to peer pressure

Monday, January 01, 2007

So I came home tonight and put my red sparkly new year's tiara next to last year's silver sparkly one. And turned on the same PBS special my parents and I watched two nights ago. The thing is, as much fun as I had tonight, and as great as my friends are, there's a part of my brain asking, what's the point? What was the point in shaving all the way up my thigh? What was the point in getting all dolled up? Why put out the effort if the only guys paying me any attention were already my friends, and the one drunk guy who was a friend of a friend and who most likely spent the evening puking his guts out? What's the point if I didn't even get my requisite harry to my sally new year's kiss? I'm not trying to get pity or anything like that, I'm just saying, and I know it makes me sound like an old fuddy duddy, but I can certainly appreciate the appeal of spending the evening in. I manage to avoid the fabricated social pressure most days and holidays. But somehow tonight it managed to get to me. Blah.

Evenings out, especially on New Year's Eve are way over rated. The best way to spend it is with your favorite foods and drink at home. Remember that every hour is New Year's somewhere in the world on New Year's Eve. So go to bed, at the top of the hour when tired. Do not surrender to the tyranny of your time zone. As for Harry, recall that they were friends first and foremost. If he is around, invite him. If not the lack cannot easily be made up at a party.
