| this is how it starts... |

I shall begin with the obligatory: "Happy New Year!"

*ahem* now that I've gotten that out of the way...

Tonight was pretty cool. A bunch of people from Church and College circles got together at our friends' house a few blocks away from us. It's been very cool getting to be in such close community with people and beginning to share in people's great life memories.

So here's the scene:

It's nearing midnight, and people are beginning to file into the kitchen to retrieve a glass of their drink of choice for the big countdown. *t-minus 3 minutes and counting until the ball drops.*

people begin to file into the living room, where the tv is on, and all gaming activities have come to a halt. *t-minus 2 minutes and counting*

all the engaged couples are pairing up. *t-minus 1 minute and counting*

the dating couples are lookin' conspicuously at each other, and are gathering closely. *t-minus 30 seconds and counting*

What am I doing? I'm standing by the door and I'm waiting to see what is going to unfold, bursting with anticipation of the foreshadowed countdown, stirring excitement in the entire room. NAH! I'm at the door and all I can think about is the freakin' new year's kiss!

All I can think about is all the people who are with that significant other that they care for, and are ready to seal the new year's arrival with some celebratory pda.

This is how it begins... I begin to notice all the things that are happening with the couples around me, and I start to think about how I want to have some of that stuff for myself. This kind of thinking is dangerous, because it leads me to the thought that I am looking to be dating someone. It would seem, however, that I'm far from that being a reality. Something about the idea of me dating seems quite humorous to me.

So yeah. I'm thinking about the perfect person to share a kiss with on New Year's Eve. *T-minus 5 seconds*


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Still pondering what I'm looking for exactly.

At least I'm thinking now! *positive points*

I'm out...
