Another year gone...

Yes, another year come and gone. 2008 is officially over and 2009 is here!!!! (can you sense the excitement in my typing??) 2008 has been a bad year, I'm sure everyone is going to make that claim, insert standard toast line:

"[past year here] has sucked donkey ballz, lets make [new year here] better."

I have to say though, that mine really DID suck. I've been essentially alone on NYE for as long as I can remember. NYE 2006 - was with my man at the time, but he decided sleeping was more important. NYE 2007 - house full of people but the one I wanted to be standing next to me and share a kiss with when the ball dropped decided that the guests were more important - I mean damn, could I get 5 seconds? NYE 2008 - a busted ass new years eve to close out the busted ass year. However, to offset the complaining, let me look on the bright side:

• I'm alive.
• I'm still employed contrary to the current status of the economy.
• I have a roof over my head and will continue to have a roof over my head given my employment status does not change.
• I have my son (however not with me for the Holidays).

I suppose I had options for tonight, but nobody I truly would have liked to share the evening with - whether friends or a date - were around, i.e. nobody cared to ask if I wanted to hang out. I got more invited from perfect strangers than from my "closest" friends.

Is it that serious though? It's just another night and I need to pull myself together.

Happy New Year!
