The Cynic Says……

Wow… so 2005 is in the history books now, eh? I’m not sure whether I would say that 2005 was a good year or a bad year overall. I mean, I’m still alive so that’s better than the alternative, right? Nothing new and earth-shattering happened but neither did anything just absolutely terrible. For the first time in forever, I worked at the same job all year! Then again, this is probably the first time I’ve had a job that I really really enjoyed and have no desire to actually part ways with. Sadly, everything in the past year just kinda runs together and if someone asked me what was the most significant thing that happened all year, I’d just stand there and stare at them with a blank look, shrug my shoulders and say something to the effect of “fuck if I know”. At least my last weekend of 2005 was rather memorable. Probably the best New Year’s Eve I can remember even though the roll I took sucked a fat nutsack. Despite that, I still had a great time. I drank quite a fair bit for the first time since my birthday weekend and on top of what little effect the roll DID have (mood enhancement, more energy than usual, etc.) I got a bit more than tipsy but a bit less than smashed. The girl I’ve been sorta seeing went with us to Fiction and ended up spending the night with me Saturday night and most of the day Sunday. It was not only New Year’s Eve for her but it was her birthday, too so I had to make sure she had a good time. Let’s just say I don’t think she’ll be forgetting her 19th birthday anytime soon and leave it at that! Needless to say, Fiction and Tonic were slammed and everyone seemed to have a good time. New Year’s only happens once a year, so I figured I might as well celebrate in style.
