It’s the last day of 2009.
Whoop-dee-doo.
Frankly I don’t really see what the big deal is about New Year’s Eve. This day is really no different than the next day other than a calendar needs to be changed. I used to pretend it was a momentous occasion, to watch this man-made construct we’ve overlaid on time edge towards the end of year and slip into the next amidst drunken singing of an auld Scottish song that no one really understands.
Of course, it could be that being a waitress and working twenty of my forty-seven New Year’s Eve’s have helped burn the sense of occasion out of me. AlcantHang called it right; amateur night indeed. It’s even worse than Oktoberfest. I could tell stories (insert *eyeroll and *headshake here).
However, I recognize that I am in the minority. So for those of you stepping out tonight, may you have as much fun as you can handle and make it back home safely.
Cheers!

I’m probably the only person in Scotland having a quiet one tonight! A wee smoke,a wee dram and “Donald where’s yer troosers?” playing on repeat instead
Hope you and yours have a great 2010 Kat!

If this blog post had a “Like” button, I’d “like” it. Heck, if it had a Facebook page I might “be in a relationship” with it!

NHY and thanks for your posts this past year. I seldom leave a comment, but read each one.

For the third year running, didn’t get close to seeing midnight - like you I don’t get the big deal. I use it as an excuse to cook lots and hang out with friends - in this case trying to stay cool as it was 39 degrees!

Ok, so I won’t wish you a happy new year. Instead, have a happy Friday. Isn’t there some kind of fertility ritual that goes along with this day?
