happy new year!
9 years ago
i know it's the third, but fa's been down and i've been afk for the past three days so i have an excuse, shhhhh.
2015 had some great moments but overall it wasn't a good year at all- and i think that seems to be the general consensus. i did, however, go to my first furcon and make a whole bunch of friends which was really cool! actually, i went to quite a lot of conventions in 2015 and hopefully 2016 is going to contain even more. buuuut we'll talk about them later or i'll just get excited and the months will drag.
hogmanay/new year's eve was... it was eventful in the best of ways. i went to a party hosted by a friend i haven't seen properly in a couple of years, and it was packed with people i adore and haven't seen in a long time. we drank a lot, i smoked my way through a large pack of fancy cigarettes, drank some more, sat in the kitchen for hours talking and danced to classic 90s house/trance. the energy was so positive- after the slump i've been in for months it made me feel so much better. i also crashed out and slept for about 12 hours which was the best sleep i've had in months too so that just helped my mood that little bit more. sometimes you get so caught up in life things you can neglect friendships, so i'm lucky that my friends understand what i've been going through. goes for you guys as well.
clove and i were meant to come home on new year's day- the party was in another city- but when we got to the coach station it turned out all the extra coaches they claimed to be putting on didn't happen. with no trains either and nowhere to stay- there were no buses running far enough to get us back out to our friend's flat. instead of stressing, because that never helps in this kind of situation, i booked us a nice hotel room in the city centre. finding a hotel room on new year's day in the capital city isn't easy or cheap but it turned out to be completely worth it. we got another nice night's sleep and it felt like a spontaneous break. it also meant i got to meet up with klone today for some shopping time.
i don't do new year's resolutions, i find them hokey and insincere, so nothing mushy to end this journal on. i hope you had a good start to 2016 and i hope it treats you all well!
