December 31, 1997 -- So...one year of this. And I haven't even posted anything in forever. I have all the new entries...okay..BOTH the new entries sitting on my hard drive waiting patiently to be exposed to the world.

But the world sure is different than it was last year, isn't it? At least mine is. I'm looking at last year's entry and I'm shocked. Let's see...

I went to a party last night at Ray's house. Everyone was there...Ray (duh!) and his girlfriend Theresa, Joslyn, Brian, Jasen, Carolyn and her roommate Robin, Bardi, Loh, Raph, Sandra, Allison Deutch, and I'm sure I'm forgeting someone!

I spent New Year's Eve at my house with Brian, his best friend Rick, and my manager's son Gerrard. I had a fantastic time even though we sat in my living room being TRULY geeky. We played video games. We brought in the new year playing a Deathmatch round of Goldeneye for the N64. Geeky, but fun.

Let's see...I don't speak with Ray if possible, I barely know Theresa, I haven't spoken to Joslyn in forever and I suppose I SHOULD care a bit more...but I really don't. I told Jasen if he ever entered my realm of existence again I'd get a restraining order, I enchanged an e-mail with Carolyn, and I saw Bardi driving around once. I spoke online with Sandra several times but we never really had enough in common to have a real friendship. And I had a wonderful conversation with Allison Deutch at the Pantry diner at 2am one day. But there really are new people in my life, and most of those people don't fit in anywhere anymore.

We watched the ball drop at the usual time, and I had a glass of pink champagne. I'm very skinny and I've never had any booze before (excepting the booze-filled chocolates I got for Christmas) so I only had a teeny bit. But even that little bit made my wisdom teeth stop bitching me out for about an hour. I didn't mind one bit. I'm not into alcohol...it tastes yucky as far as I'm concerned, but it was New Year's, and you only live once.

Well, I didn't see the ball drop this year. I had no booze, and my wisdom teeth, once again, are coming out at the end of January. Time for the other two!!! And that skinny thing seems to be sticking around. I've also decided to live twice, once just isn't enough!

As for alcohol...Brian turned 21, and he's going to buy me a bottle of Khalua. MMmmmmm......

I have no resolutions this year. I think my life changed enough without them...and for the better too. I have somehow managed to steer my life in the right direction. On second thought...I do have one resolution. I'm going to get this journal back on track.
