Yes, it's 2010 now. 2009 is
sooo last year, darling. Managed to find a party to head to roughly 2 days before the night itself, so I cut it rather fine in organising myself and what I would be doing. Luckily the party I ended up at was very good. Nice and eventful, too. Pizza was cooked, Guitar Hero 5 was played, a drumstick was snapped in half (whilst playing Guitar Hero), drinks were drunk, food was flung,
chinese lanterns were lit. Nothing like a bit of variety. Do I have a New Years resolution? No. Suggestions welcome.
One of my personal highlights of the evening was when about 17 of us stood in the middle of a T-Junction in the road ready for the 10 second countdown to 2010. We did this because the house on the corner had a massive fireworks stand set up, and practically the whole neighbourhood were congregating around this
rich mans house. Being the timid bunch we are, we didn't know how to react when a large man
walked over to us and said he was giving out free
alcohol and we could 'help ourselves'. Naturally, nobody took him up on his seemingly 'too good to be true' offer, but it was a nice gesture.
The man also invited us into his garden for a better view of the fireworks. We
did take him up on this offer. I'm not sure the families already stood on the grass watching the show were too delighted to see us though, or rather - hear us.
