I certainly had a happy new year. I was invited to Caitlin(one of Jessica's friends)'s party. Despite having a hard time finding the place, problems with my car getting slightly messed up due to driving over a tree stump, I had a good time...and Rock Band wasn't as involved as I thought it'd be. Probably 'cause I'm in need of some new songs (and 'cause Jessica and Kara need to learn how to sing :P).

So anyways, here's a summary of events at the party: fireworks, cold, fire, cold, Rock Band, Sorry! (the board game), "A Game of Chance", Twister, the Futurama movie, and sleep-deprived discussion until 7 AM.

Highlights: I left the Rock Band group to go upstairs to Caitlin and her friends. We played Sorry! for some reason. Having never played the game, I was quite confused. That, however, did not stop me from totally owning everyone at the game. Yeah, I won. Weee.

Prior to these events, Caitlin had instructed people to bring 3 one-dollar bills to the party. I had no idea WTF this was for, but it was only 3 dollars, so I was like, "Whatever." So it turns out it involved gambling...but again...only 3 dollars! So there were 9 people involved, meaning whoever won this "game of chance" would walk away with 27 dollars. It was just some silly game involving dice, and passing money to each other. I'm too lazy to explain it, and it really doesn't matter. What does matter is I totally won 27 dollars. :D Ohh, such a lucky night for me. But everyone wins, 'cause I plan on spending this money on more Rock Band songs.

Everyone pretty much left the party by 3 AM. Me and Daniel (who rode with me to the party) were there until 7. WTF did we do during those 4 hours? I'm not really sure. The only people left were Caitlin, her two friends, and me and Daniel. We pretty much just talked about weird-ass things, apparently due to sleep deprivation. But yeah, we left at 7 AM.

Since it was 7 AM, the sun was out, and finding our way home was made a very simple task...and damn, Patmayse Lake looks beautiful at 7 in the morning. Previously that night, we drove over a bridge, and it was scary as hell. Driving over it again in the morning felt really good. It really felt like a new year! A new everything! I'm feeling really good, for the most part. This is awesome. Yay for touchy-feely happy time blog posts!

So, yeah, thanks Caitlin.
