Happy New Year!! *

(Tried to find photo of Swansea Bay - this is not it, as anyone familiar with Swansea City Council's firework budget will testify.)

Happy New Year! 2005 has been a fun and interesting year but I have a feeling that 2006 is going to be more so.

Day started with flat champagne; lunch was schnapps (begged off a neighbour) and fridge remnants (pub at the end of the road was closed). Had planned a day of fun (e.g. getting high and going joyriding) but instead ended up watching more episodes of The OC than a human being (or two) should be able to process in one day ('eeeeuuw!' as Summer would say).

Have made 41 New Year Resolutions (yeah, I know it's ridiculous - I always make a load and write them in a book). Have already done something about five of them and broken two. Not a bad start.

Festive Commitment Count: Two friends have announced their engagements (one even proposed to his girlfriend in front of his entire family on Christmas day - now, that's foolhardy), and one friend declared pregnancy.
