Epic New Years Adventure

Oh man.  I am so wiped out.  I've been all over and spent so much time in the car the past couple of days.

I love the people I love.

On Sunday I drove up to Delaware to spend the night with Nate and his girlfriend.  I envy their little one-bedroom apartment, queen-bed, I-love-you lifestyle.  I think I'll really enjoy living with a significant other.

The high-point of my time there was definitely when Nathan introduced me as his "best friend".  I mean, I think of him that way, but perceptions of relationships aren't always reciprocal.  It just made me feel pretty cool.  Like "That's right, I'm someone's best friend."

After spending 24 hours wondering how two such incredibly different people could end up being so tight, I got in my car and drove back to Virginia to meet my friend Pete for New Year's.

New Year's is usually one of those "let-down" holidays (supposed to be awesome, but tends to be lame), but I had tons of fun last night.  I wore an awesome green dress of my sisters and we party hopped.  I played a lot of Just Dance for the Kinect.  I also met a lot of D.C. people that were all my age or younger, but all seemed so much older than me.  All kinds of married and career driven; it reminded me why I left D.C. in the first place.  It was great though, even if the DJ at the bar we ended up at was awful.  He kept playing 80's music,  he even went so far as to mix an 80's beat over a Ke$ha song (if anything, mix a Ke$ha beat into an 80's song).  We kept requesting Whitney Houston, and he just like couldn't be bothered.  No worries though, because we rocked out to it when we got to Pete's.

After breakfast with Pete, I drove over to Toph's place for Vietnamese for lunch and a viewing of Love Actually.  I've decided that I don't like it.  I understand that I am probably admitting that I have no soul or something, but in all those plots, I could only really buy into the one with the little boy. 

Overall all, I laughed a lot more these past three days than I have in a long time.
