9 hours and 48 minutes left in the year 2007. we will bringing in the new year with good friends at ryan and kelley's apt. if i don't hear 'billie jean' or 'beat it' within the first 3 hours, i am leaving the party. if i spend more than three hours in a bathroom helping someone out, i am leaving the party. it's the first new years where i will be able to legally purchase my own alcohol. it is the first new year that i will get to kiss austin into the new year. mmm. last week he had a victorious alcohol purchase for our train ride into the city to see the Blackhawks play. i bought 4 cans of sparks (bro five) but i felt like i was doing something illegal (i'm sorry, mom).
the past few days have been relaxing and nice as we have learned how to make sushi, went to a wonderful sushi restaurant, and seen our favorite crystal lake friends. we did not get to go sledding, but the winter months have just begun. pass. i'm disappointed we will be starting school in january because corinne and i have 2 wonderful bikes waiting for fun at our respective houses. we are not only looking forward to the end of the winter term because we will be able to ride our bikes in the spring, but also because we have set plans to go to arizona together over spring break. spring training games, visiting the grand canyon, swimming, riding a golf cart, and wearing shorts and sunglasses are all the things i will be thinking about when i am struggling through 'wuthering heights' in my brit lit course.
i hope that you all enjoy your new years celebration... and listen to your mothers: be safe. who drinks and drives these days? honestly, who in their right mind thinks taking 8 shots of everclear and then hopping in their pickup to continue party hopping is a good idea? however, if you are itching to drive, please check this convenient chart: how to avoid your new year's DUI.
i feel like i should like the hives much more than i do. the hives are pretentious for a reason; they need to be so that people realize how incredibly fierce they are. i have nothing more to say about the hives; maroon 5 > the hives. irrelevant.
we will see many of you wednesday, call one of us, we can reunite.
like the jackson 5.
