New Year's Eve

Last night was a little bit of everything--A little bit of reminiscing, little bit of kickin'-it-ness, lot of fun, etc. For part of the night, me and some long-time friends went to the city museum downtown STL. It was cool; it was an excuse to actually behave like a kid which replenishes the mind for the harsh realities we all face everyday in our separate lives. Afterward, we went to Houlihan's, where some very interesting conversations arose concerning life, happiness, religion, and future. I learned that as opinionated and outspoken as I am, I can't always compel others to feel the way I do; and I also learned to play "devil's advocate" and think outside my box--more hypothetically to understand where others come from. This morning I stopped at an old friend's house. I really miss her. I found out that she ended up moving to Colorado this past Fall and just left yesterday to go back. I heard she was really unhappy with her life in St. Louis and wanted a change. I wish I had the chance to see her before she left. We have a rocky past as far as being two peas in a pod who were always down for each other but always stayed into it. I stopped and chatted with her mom and her sisters for a little minute. I hope she's doing well. Anyways, tonight should be interesting. Honestly, I'm not really in the mood for the typical crunkness that occurs on New Year's. If I had my way, I would have friends over to watch tv, play cards, drink, eat, and chat. However, since all of my friends really wanna go to bigger gatherings, it leaves me with the option of either staying at home or joining them. BUT, I'm not going to the club. First, because I'm not paying $40+ to get in to a sweaty, shoulder to shoulder club. Second, I'm trying to get more exposure as far as going out--I'm tired of seeing the same people. Therefore, I'm going to this party out in Earth City Holiday Inn that should be pretty nice. Ehh, who knows...I may end up coming back home if it's whack. I bought three bottles of champagne, so if that does happen, I'm sure someone will join me.
