Happy new year, all. I ended up having a supremely low-key night. Winter came over and had some dinner and we talked, and then met up with Grace, Emily, and Dan, and headed back to Emily's house, as it was parentless. I was the alcohol-supplier, being the only one who had any, but this was pretty much just amaretto and gin (Liz, you were right - gin is far more awful than vodka. It tastes like how rubbing alcohol smells). I actually didn't have that much to drink at first, but then had the bright idea to try out a variation in Liz's Ninja in the Night recipe with amaretto, which was delicious, but nobody else wanted any, so I ended up having five by myself. Grace and Emily got a bit tipsy, and decided to call people in other timezones right after midnight to wish them a happy new year, so we did that, and listened to music, and then decided to sleep.

Which didn't work out so well for me - I laid awake until six am, at which point Grace got really sick (and not hungover-sick, but sick-sick), and me and Emily had to help her clean up, and by the time we actually fell asleep, it was seven am. So I am really tired right now, and my usual recap is going to have to wait until later. Hopefually today wasn't an omen for what the rest of the year is going to be like.

West-coast people, I miss you guys D:
