my new year.
my roommates and i had a new year's party. it was pretty good. it was actually really good. i hadn't gotten much sleep the night before and had worked a lot the past two days, so i was really tired and i didn't drink much, but it felt so good to have a house full of people who were having fun. the best was when one of shannon's old friends would show up and she'd get really excited. i think that was my favorite part of the night, seeing shannon so happy.my other favorite part of the next twelve hours or so were the tons of people who would cram onto one bed for some right good cuddling. around 4 in the morning, i had about 6 people on my bed, just lying all over everyone else and talking and laughing. the next day, smaller versions of this occurred, and it was all good. the new year was brought in by mass amounts of bodily contact, and there is nothing better. especially since it wasn't sexual, it was just being near people you loved.
at midnight, we all went on the roof and watched what we could see of the fireworks downtown. at midnight it was too quiet. i mean, we were all excited and said happy new year, but there wasn't any loud music or cheering or the TV with dick clark or anything so it felt less than exciting, but still it's the first time i'd ever gotten to be around a huge group what i guess are my friends. i've never ever had a large group of friends before. i think chicago is the best thing that's ever happened to me.
this is the most journal-y entry i've ever had before. but typing feels easier than writing in my real journal. i'm the reluctant blogger. maybe my resolution should be to stop worrying about stupid stuff like writing in my blog rather than in my journal. resolutions are so stupid.
love, kate
