Coulda Been the Willie Nelson, Coulda Been the Wine
Woowoo! First post of '06! You know what that means? It means when you look at my archives on the side, there is another year of posts added. Lame sounding, I know. But kind of thrilling. In an I'm-easily-amused sort of way. So how was everyone's New Year's celebrations? Mine was good. I hate New Year's to begin with, and the closer December 31st got to January 1st, the more I loathed it. Nothing a few Jell-o shots and some Dance Dance Revolution couldn't fix though. A great time was had indeed.
A good year in all though. Graduated, beached, go-go danced, made friends, moved out, loved seafood, read tons. Have I been spelling "tons" wrong my whole life? Should it really be spelled "tonnes" when using it in my previous sentence? I know I would spell it "tonnes" when refering to an actual number, like "a blue whale can weigh up to 120 tonnes" but when refering to an indefinite amount, a mere estimation, is "tons" the proper spelling? I feel left out of the spelling world. Anywho, this past year had been a relaxing one at that, stress-free. No dark cloud of tests and exams and papers looming over my head. It's been a nice break. It is fun though, to think of exactly a year back and what you were doing. How some things have changed, how some things haven't. Almost seems like none of it ever really happened. Maybe it didn't. Mwahaha!
And on that note, I bid you all a swell year, well let's make that life. I bid you a swell life. And if you're one to make resolutions, don't feel bad when you break it. You so know you're going to.

If a good New Year's even is defined by lying half naked on the hard wood living room floor @ 1pm the day after, then I would say yours was great!
it was nice to see you out a few nights before the new year and chat for a moment, ashley. hmmm. perhaps i should have also stopped by your place on new year's day, say, around 1pm-ish. oh, speaking of ton vs. tonnes spelling -- "guaranteed" is spelled incorrectly on your blog title box. talk to you soon.

Indeed. Thanks for the spelling correction. I used to be much better back in elementary school when we had regular spelling tests. I cheated once to clean a clean record. It was worth it
