HAPPY NEW YEAR

Sunday, December 27. 2009

Fenton and returned early to school from Christmas break, mainly because I have a ton of research to finish up before I graduate in May. And no, I still haven't given any thought to what comes after that. Intense focus to the exclusion of all else is what's gotten me this far, so why stop now?
Thing is, for the first time my singular focus is divided between the work needed to graduate and my wedding preparations. Fenton is being as supportive as he can, but there's nothing he can do for the first task and little that he's capable of doing for the second.
Tree is bothered as well. (I was surprised that trees had nightmares; I didn't know they slept.) I think her dream is a sign that she fears being severed from Fenton, but heck; I'm no psychology major.
This little suburban world of ours is going to be changing, and I'm the reason. Ironically, all the time I was growing up with Angelique in the household I craved stability. I finally found it, and now I'm leaving.
It's going to be an interesting year.
So, what are your plans for New Year's Eve?

Wow. Sounds like things are going to get hecktic. Good luck with that.

I'll probably spend New Years as I always do, staying up as late as I can. I've always wanted to stay up for 24 hours straite, but never could. This time, I have stuff to set the advantage in my favour. A copy of Left 4 Dead 2 and some mana potions I got at the local Hot Topic. Will I sucseed? Find out next week, same bat time, same bat channel. (Sorry, the Adam West is on in the background. It always puts me in that silver age mindset.)

You're not leaving stability, Lindesfarne, you're creating a new stability for the next generation. And, in reality, that old stability will still be there, just a little bit removed.

My plans for New Year's are very simple: Stay inside, maybe watch the ball drop and go to bed. No drinking, no partying: quite boring, but it also has the most minimal possibility of being damaged by someone who doesn't know their limit as far as alcohol is concerned. (I personally think the most unsung hero of the past twenty or thirty years is the person who came up with the idea of New Years' parties with open bars... in hotels. The party includes a hotel room so those who over-indulge only have to manage the elevator and not an automobile.)

Your family will always be their right down the street if the need arises. untill you start your own family you can keep up the tradition of being gardian of the presants at your old home.

As for the New Year I don't have anything planed. My personal favrate saying is boring is good. Also hot & spicey foods don't work for me.

Spending it with family. Maybe going online beforehand to wish some freinds there well.

For the last couple of years I have gotten together with some other non-drinking friends for a potluck and game-playing party. The only scary part is driving home, which I do very defensively in the early AM of January 1.

Aww poor tree. I bet she'll feel better once you get some baby hedgehog bats, or humans as the case may be running through her halls and boughs!

I'm hoping to crack a bottle of champagne this New Year's Eve.

Why is Fenton capable of helping with the wedding prep? Your not male bashing, I hope.

As for New Year, I've been going to a house party a friend hosts (he throws great parties), but he'll be out of town this year, so I'll be spending next weekend at another friend's place. He doesn't like to go out that night so we'll just hang out at his place watching DVDs and messing with his computer; Probably order a pizza and such. All pretty sedate.

You know how men are with weddings. Just tell 'em where to stand

I kid, I kid!

My fiance actually wants to help me pick out a dress and decorations though. But he has no interest in what the other members of the wedding party should wear. I suppose I should take what input I can get and be glad for it!

My New Year's party is going to be an interesting one. I have two groups of friends that are not exactly fighting, but have had a low level feud going on for quite some time. My roommates and I have decided to get them together and see if getting drunk and playing video games will finally put an end to this foolishness.

Wish me luck!

Erm...alcohol can bring out belligerence. Have you considered catnip? Or...I suppose that doesn't affect humans, does it? Ah well, there's always chocolate, right?

Working. 8pm to 4am.
My wonderful job days ended in 2002.
Now I do low end dead end work.
And I need as much as possible to keep going.
I hope to educate myself as something better.
But this economy keeps hurting those chances.

What we did not plan was that the story line would go down.
I hope that this is not similar to the troubles at the other two that Bill writes on.
