Happy New Year!
Dec. 31st, 2012 04:24 pmHappy New Year to all of you! Have a fun, safe one. If you're going to get drunk, take advantage of the free cab services or AAA's Tipsy Tow. Most cities have something like that for New Year's Eve. Just doing the whole "don't drink and drive" preach haha. But seriously. In a lot of cities nationwide, AAA will take your drunk asses AND your car home for free, whether you're a member or not. And lots of cab services do free rides. I'm sure getting through their phone lines would be a bitch, but hey...it's better than driving drunk. Obviously something a lot worse than a DUI could happen, but DUIs fucking suck...don't get one. Even if you have to pay for a cab, do it. It's a hell of a lot cheaper and way less of a pain in the ass, to say the very least. So yeah. There's my preachy NYE speech.
We're going to a friend's party. Jenny is feeling a lot better and is surprisingly in pretty good spirits today. Some of our friends have a big New Year's Eve party every year. It's kid-friendly too, so that's nice. There will be plenty of drunk people there, for sure. But not in an uncontrollable inappropriate for children way. I'm glad I'm to the point that being around alcohol and drunk people in a situation like that doesn't bother me. Not usually, anyway. At the very least, I'm almost always ok with it. I would never allow alcohol to be in my house, but in this situation I'm totally comfortable being around it. I think a lot of it has to do with the company. The people you're with and the way they act has a huge effect, I think. Social aspects like that have a major impact on stuff like that. At least for me. A lot of these people get drunk, but they're responsible about it. So it's ok. Plus there will be a shitload of food, a lot of it junk food, so I'm more than ok with that haha.
Anyway...things are going well. I'll update about stuff tomorrow or the next day. Now that the holidays are over and things are calming down with us as far as all the other stuff goes, I'll finally be able to stop being such a shitty LJ friend. I promise haha. I know I keep saying that, but I mean it for real this time.
Have a good New Year's!
