Went to bed around 3am this morning, after ringing in the new year with good people, quality friends.

Ours was a clean, dry, and mellow little houseparty, if you could even call it a party. It sort of had the feel of a year-end extended family get-together, with an abnormally high ratio of coupled-up folk to single people.

Kinda felt like I was having the most fun of all of the other women there, though... Was I just imagining that the others looked a little bored, tired, or both tired and bored, while we were playing board games... as if they'd rather be out dancing and drinking, or having a romantic night with just their significant others?

I wouldn't have chosen to celebrate the start of this new year any other way.
