oh the pressures of having to celebrate the coming of the new year with such a bang, such pa-zaz. everyone at work is humming about there evenings. "what'd you do kristen?"

"oh, me? i sat at home. by myself. by choice."

silly girl...i am.

whateve. the pressure always seems to build to a huge disappointment year after year. (except for 1999, but thats another story for another day)

but last night was my own new years celebration, with (you guessed it friends!) brandon. ((sigh))

it was his idea to have our own count down. we met up new years day and did nothing really. walked around a park. broke into a secret cemetery and ran around at dusk. ate some awesome burritos. we bought 2 bottles of bubbly for midnight. we counted the hours down with OG Nintendo super Mario Bros 3, VH1s '80s rock!' and smoking cigarettes while telling stories of our past. i have to say, it was the best kind of new years ever, in a very different way.

we woke in each others eyes today and lay in bed drifting in and out of consciousness clinging to each other. wow. i had a nightmare around 12:30 thus ending our slumber. (very strange dream, i'll tell ya 'bout it later)

we got up after finding out i didn't have to work till 4(!) and had Fruity Pebbles and mimosas. we watched cartoons and snuggled on the couch till 4:03.

i still feel like i'm dreaming.

and here i am. at work. ha!

happy janurary 2nd!!!

p.s.- ian called me last night at 3am. i didn't hear my phone ring and its just as well. he left me a text message that says "Hi"
