Oh Look, Here Comes New Year's Eve

So would ya look at that? It's New Year's Eve!

I can never really decide what my opinion on New Year's Eve is. I've had some pretty good New Year's Eves, and I've had pretty terrible ones. My general all-year-round opinion is that New Year's Eve is shit and is forever going to be shit, no amount of good New Year's Eves are ever going to change that. When I'm actually at a New Year's thing, I could be having a really good time, but it always ends up feeling a bit anti-climatic.

Yes, I do know how cliched it is to find New Year's Eve anti-climatic, but there is definitely a reason why a cliche becomes a cliche. Because it happens all the time.

This is year, I'm going for the reverse-psychology approach.

Basically, my idea is that if I make myself believe that the night is going to be a failure in every possible way, I will have a much better night than I could have ever imagined.

The only problem there, is that every year, my expectations will have to lower until they no longer can. I'll end up stuck in a cycle of not looking forward to new year, enjoying new year, expecting a good new year again but trying to convince myself it will be rubbish, and then enjoying it slightly less and less until I curl up into a ball at sob uncontrollably at even the mention of the night.

I think that plan may have very quickly unfolded right in front of me.

This year is looking set to be a complete failure though. What with this pathetic divide between the group, the fact that Robin is working until close, everything I have planned is last minute & just the night is essentially destined to be a total car crash.

Happy New Year.
Make it a safe one, yeah?
