It occurred to me last night as I was drunkenly commenting/emailing/texting/instant messaging people that even though I was technically alone on New Year's (by my own choice, mind,)... I wasn't alone at all. There were people spread out all over North America who were celebrating with me and sending me love and kisses at midnight and applauding my decision to drink a whole bottle of Riesling by myself because they were drinking alone too. But none of us were alone at all. We had each other. And that's a lovely way to ring in the new year.
tygerseye - OH GOD. Please excuse any inappropriate drunken commentary where it wasn't welcomed.
