Witness a common and perfectly acceptable conversation to occur just after new years (prrrrrobably whilst sat in your jim jams eating through your ridiculously mountainous pile of christmas chocolate and getting calls from friends in the “needy” stage of their hangover)... “heya, how was your new years?”, response (with a breath of shame) “I simply don't know”.
Everybody goes on like new years eve is the worst and that it's over-rated and over-expensive and over-busy, which it kinda is but when else can you get so blindly wasted? Wasted to the point that waking up and retrieving consciousness is like you've actually just been born. Not very often! And as bad as the social carnage is, you can't deny its pretty damn fun. After all, things such as birthdays n leaving do's n end of exam celebrations are all good excuses to party, but its a pretty sweet time of year when pretty much the whole of the UK is blissfully fucked.
Not only that,but girls, you'll agree-and maybe guys to an extent. That New Years eve is the best night out to get ready for. Our house (all girls) smelt absolutely amazing what with all the yummy bath products you get given for Christmas floatin about the place. Also, and I don't know why exactly but there's a tendency to get very glittery and feel very special in your outfit, wearin “that dress” that you feel might be too risque or just too nice for any normal night out. Also in terms of drinks n drugs you thoroughly treat yourself, “its new years eve” turns into a great excuse for absolutely everything.
So, the spoilt excess of drink n drugs n the idea that your lookin pretty damn hot tonight can only lead to a party of comedy mishaps to which, you'll be thankful of the black hole memory loss that your subconscious kindly grants you. If you feel courageous enough then, the next day you may pick up snippets of horrifyingly embarrassing events from sent text messages, ticket stubs, new numbers on your phone and photos. Or, your friends can fill you in- that is, if you still have them after leaving them somewhere n pissing off home/to a party/the park swings.
So! Where did you spend your new years eve and how was it? I got wasted on lime vodka n vodka jellies went to saki bar for Hit n Run and Hoya Hoya. Flippin' smashing night from what I can remember, although I missed midnight cos I was havin a wee, I danced so much I ripped my dress and spent an incredible amount of time distracting the lovely Illum Sphere from playing his set for waving at him and many other people that night continuously. Hi guys!
Anyway Happy 2010 examplers. Hope you all smash it this year.
